From the Daily Skeptic Chris Morrison The UK government is one of the main financial backers of a new international campaign to stamp out online climate science skepticism ahead of next year's make-or-break COP30 in Brazil. The Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change, hosted by the United Nations and UNESCO, was signed at the recent G20 Summit in Brazil. Part of its mandate will fund nonprofits to dispel so-called misinformation and promote “public awareness campaigns.” Commenting on the event, UN global correspondent Melissa Fleming noted that more and more people are becoming aware of the harm caused by…
go through: PhD. Anna Danville-Sommer Mesoscale eddies are whirlpool-like motions that play a crucial role in ocean circulation and the global energy budget. On a scale of 10 to 300 kilometers, These dynamic features transmit hydrologic properties (physical and chemical properties of seawater, such as temperature and salinity) and redistribute energy across spatial and temporal scales, affecting large-scale ocean dynamics and biogeochemical processes. Representing their effects in ocean models is critical for accurate long-term climate predictions, as mesoscale eddies influence sunlight reaching deeper sea levels, ecosystem health, and climate feedbacks [Olbers et al., 2012]. However, achieving a balance between resolution…
Article by Eric Worrell Did the climate issue ever matter to these people? A day after nuclear power pledge, Meta announces launch of largest-ever data center powered by fossil fuels Three natural gas turbine plants at Louisiana site to produce 2,262 MW Brandon Villarullo Thursday, December 5, 2024 // 22:20 UTC Richland Parish, an idyllic rural area in northeastern Louisiana, is about to get a huge new metadata center. But rather than being powered by one of the on-site nuclear power plants Zuckercorp had previously advocated, the facility chose to burn more fossil fuels to fuel its AI computing workload.…
Article by Eric Worrell Some scientists are unable to explain the temperature increase in 2024, which is 0.2 degrees Celsius higher than model predictions. Study shows that fewer low-altitude clouds may be responsible for the “missing” 0.2 degrees Celsius of warming in Earth's hottest years Author: Environmental journalist Peter de Kruijff Friday, December 6 in short: Lower-than-expected low-level clouds are thought to be a potential cause behind mysterious global warming in 2023. Last year was the hottest on record, with warming reaching 1.45 degrees Celsius since pre-industrial times, well above climate forecasts of 1.25 degrees Celsius for 2023. What to…
We all agree that the wind-driven surface currents of the Atlantic Multilayer Overturning Circulation (AMOC) carry precious warmth from the tropics to the Arctic and make the climate in Europe and North America milder. We all agree that the ocean has a huge impact on climate and is responsible for temperature changes that cannot be explained by the carbon dioxide greenhouse effect. The AMOC is unique in that: 1) It carries tropical heat from the South Atlantic across the equator into the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans (red current, Figure A). 2) It creates a warm Atlantic reservoir at depths…

from climaterealism Author: Linny Luken Vox recently published an article titled “Scientists are measuring burps and farts. It could help save the planet. Crucial. This is wrong. Methane produced by animals poses no environmental threat, contributes to global warming The impact is minimal. The article draws heavily on work by scientists in Colombia, who measured the amount of methane produced in burps and gases by different farm animals, depending on the type of feed they ate, to determine the feed that produced the least methane. Place animals indoors and monitor their emissions. Vox wrote: The chambers are part of a…

Gabriella Hoffman When people think of the incoming Trump-Vance administration's plans to unleash domestic energy production, they likely start with policies for oil and gas drilling and fracking and clean coal. However, nuclear energy plays a vital role in expanding our domestic energy resources and protecting the environment. We should not let old misconceptions about nuclear production get in the way. Support for nuclear energy in the United States has reached an all-time high – 56% of Americans support nuclear energy. However, this support is uneven, with 70% of men having a positive attitude towards nuclear energy compared to only…
