During a recent hike in Washington State’s Olympic National Park, I marveled at the delicate geometry of frost-covered ferns. White crystalline structures seemed to grow from the green leaves, encasing them in a frozen frame of temporary beauty. Progressing further… Read more ›
At the rate things are going, the Earth in the coming decades could cease to be a “safe operating space” for human beings. That is the conclusion of a new paper published Thursday in the journal Science by 18 researchers… Read more ›
The results are in. Yesterday the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released it final report crystallizing 13 months of work by more than 800 scientists. The “synthesis report” gives a no-nonsense assessment of how the climate is changing,… Read more ›
A NEW HOPE TO SAVE THE PLANET Since the Industrial Revolution the oceans have absorbed approximately one-half (almost 525 billion tons) of human-released CO2 emissions. Where on one hand this has moderated effect of greenhouse gas emissions, it is chemically… Read more ›
The largest concentration of methane emissions seen in the U.S. over the past decade has been detected by satellite over the the most active coal-bed methane production area in the country — the Four Corners area of New Mexico, Colorado,… Read more ›
Watch the Movie “Disruption” Here “DISRUPTION” – a film by KELLY NYKS & JARED P. SCOTT from Watch Disruption on Vimeo.
Earth’s subterranean carbon blisters are starting to pop. Carbon inside now-melting permafrost is oozing out, leaving scientists scrambling to figure out just how much of it is ending up in the atmosphere. Whether recent findings from research that attempted to… Read more ›
If anyone is interested in buying one, please drop a comment here. We’re working out the cost, but it will be sold for our cost, no profit.
In this April 3, 2014 file photo giant machines dig for brown coal at the open-cast mining Garzweiler in front of a smoking power plant near the city of Grevenbroich in western Germany. The U.N. weather agency says carbon dioxide… Read more ›
Small fluctuations in the sizes of ice sheets during the last ice age were enough to trigger abrupt climate change, scientists have found. The team compared simulated model data with that retrieved from ice cores and marine sediments in a… Read more ›
Part 2 – Dr Natalia Shakhova (interview with Nick Breeze): Ice Cover and Storms Changes over the last decade and thinking forward How much methane is being released How much is accumulated in the East Siberian Arctic Shelf What resources… Read more ›
The earth now has over 400 ppm CO2 which is more than its had in the last 20 million years. Pre-industrial levels were 280 ppm. Our own species, homo sapiens, had never existed when the CO2 concentration were so high.… Read more ›
Man, that’s a weird title. But it’s accurate enough. I’ve written about noctilucent (literally, “night shining”) clouds a few times recently. These weird, high-altitude clouds appear to be more common in recent days, and it’s not clear why (global warming… Read more ›

Of all the global warming gasses, methane is one of the very worst. Pound for pound, the Environmental Protection Agency says its effect on global warming is 20 times greater than that of carbon dioxide. And though its lifetime in… Read more ›
WASHINGTON — Climate change has increased concern over possible large and rapid changes in the physical climate system, which includes the Earth’s atmosphere, land surfaces, and oceans. Some of these changes could occur within a few decades or even years,… Read more ›
Abstract Although the sudden high rate Arctic methane increase at Svalbard in late 2010 data set applies to only a short time interval, similar sudden methane concentration peaks also occur at Barrow point and the effects of a major methane… Read more ›
This lecture was held on January 7, 2013 at the Rhode Island United States Naval War College. Jeremy Jackson, a Sr. Scientist Ermeritus from the Smithsonian Institute and a professor of Oceanography Emeritus at the Scripps Institute. What Prof. Jackson… Read more ›
Using a vast and credible set of climate measurements and physics, James Hansen’s Storms of My Grandchildren makes the case that humans overloading the atmosphere with carbon would eventually trigger the release of vast additional carbon stores locked in shallow… Read more ›
It’s not just craters purportedly dug by aliens in Russia, it’s also megaslumps, ice that burns and drunken trees. The ongoing meltdown of the permanently frozen ground that covers nearly a quarter of land in the Northern Hemisphere has caused… Read more ›
Methane has the potential to create a feedback loop in global warming. That is, as Earth’s climate warms, methane that is frozen in reservoirs stored in Arctic tundra soils – or marine sediments – may be released into the atmosphere.… Read more ›
