Recently, many media outlets have promoted a new scientific study, “The 485-Million-Year History of Earth's Surface Temperature,” which proves that a small increase in temperature over the past 150 years will be catastrophic. The data and methods used strongly suggest that this claim is false. For example, in their report, washington post (WaPo) quotes one of the study's authors as saying: In the nearly half a billion years Judd and her colleagues analyzed, Earth has never changed as fast, she added: “Like a giant asteroid hitting the Earth, what we're doing now is unprecedented.” How ridiculous. An apocalyptic event in…

This boring horror story comes from the Department of We've All Heard It Before and the Department of Unverifiable Predictive Models at Dartmouth College. Dartmouth-led study compiles 16 models to accurately predict ice loss up to 2,300 years A Dartmouth College-led study involving more than 50 climate scientists from around the world provides the first clear prediction of how carbon emissions could cause most of Antarctica's ice sheet to disappear over the next 300 years. The future of Antarctica's glaciers becomes uncertain after 2100 when existing ice sheet models are looked at alone, researchers report in the journal Earth's future.…

In August 2019, community health care worker Noushadbi Mujawar safely evacuated everyone in the village when streets began to flood in Rajapur, a remote village in India. Mujawal, 12 feet tall and 42 years old, remains in the village. “I moved to a taller building nearby and decided to stay,” said Mujawal, who wanted to help villagers who stayed on their properties as floodwaters rose. “During the floods, many people stayed home to look after their cattle because there was a lot of risk in evacuating the herds,” she said. Mujawal is one of India's more than 1 million Accredited…

As the climate warms, sparse and dense forests help reduce the risk of intense wildfires. But funding forest restoration efforts can take a long time and hinder this critical work. So the nonprofit Blue Forest created a new approach to project financing. Private investors fund so-called forest resilience bonds, said Blue Forest's Anna Ye. It provides the Forest Service or other partners with upfront funding needed for restoration efforts. Ye: “Financing funds can make implementation faster.” Over time, the money will be repaid by utilities or companies that benefit financially from healthier forests. For example, bonds for a forest thinning…

This obvious science comes from the Department of “Well, Uh” Science and the University of Liverpool. It makes you wonder how many times public funds are used to study the same thing over and over again. Urban forests reduce heat-related mortality, study shows Among different types of vegetation, forests within walking distance of residential areas are particularly important for mitigating health risks associated with heat, a new study shows. Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University Across the globe, heat waves are becoming more frequent and intense. Therefore, how to effectively combat the adverse effects of high temperatures is an increasingly important research topic.…

Guest post by Nick Pope California is suing ExxonMobil, accusing the company of deceiving the public about the effectiveness of recycling plastic products and contributing to pollution.

News from the Climate Skynet department says the University of Illinois will launch a climate model supercomputer next week. What would happen if we let supercomputers make decisions for us? International summit seeks to harness supercomputing power for climate decision-making The long-term goal of the summit, hosted by NCSA and led by atmospheric science professor Kelvin Droegemeier, is kilometer-level global resolution in Earth system modeling and climate prediction. National Supercomputer Application Center The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and the Ministry of Climate, Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences (CliMAS) will bring together more than 100 top experts in climate, Earth…
