Nothing will happen to the next real or manipulated 1.5C. Lin Cen A well-established equation based on empirical data shows that an increase from 400 parts per million (ppm) to 800 ppm causes the same amount of warming as an increase from 200 ppm to 400 ppm (Pierre Humbert, 2011) . That is, the impact of each additional unit of carbon dioxide is less than the impact of the unit before it. Furthermore, fairly simple calculations suggest that, holding all other indirect factors (such as clouds) constant, a doubling of carbon dioxide concentrations should result in about one degree Celsius…

We used to scoff at the idea of ​​fertilizing the oceans with iron dumped by ships to reduce carbon dioxide. The last experiment failed miserably. Meanwhile, nature says: “Hold my beer.” From Frontiers of Marine Science This press release was issued by Florida State University. Marine life thrives thanks to Saharan dust blown in from thousands of kilometers away The farther away dust-bound iron is blown from the Sahara Desert, the easier it is to be exploited by life through atmospheric reactions.. Iron is an essential micronutrient for life, facilitating processes such as respiration, photosynthesis and DNA synthesis. Iron availability…

Tropical Storm Helena formed in the western Caribbean early Tuesday and was expected to intensify into an unusually large major hurricane that would bring historic storm surges to a large swath of Florida's Gulf Coast on Thursday.

Gregory Wrightstone's new book, Very Convenient Warming: How Mild Warming and More CO2 Benefit Humanity, This is not just a rebuttal to the mainstream media’s portrayal of climate change. Rystone's book enables us to have a rational and informed conversation about climate change policy, rather than the emotional approach taken by politicians, institutions and especially the United Nations. An entire generation has grown up with the idea that climate change is an existential threat to humanity, that humanity is guilty of it, and that the only solution is to desperately reduce the quality of life of ordinary citizens. This is…
