Global Warming

The idea that Global Warming is a natural cycle is well understood from paleo data covering the past 1 million years. Is there a difference between current climate, and the natural cycle? For the past million years the natural climate has oscillated between warm periods and ice ages. This shifting in…

“All but one set of adjusted figures show that we will have already passed 1 °C before the next round of UN talks on a global climate treaty get under way in December, ” according to the magazine. “And if climate talks do not lead to drastic action, we could pass the 2 °C mark around the middle of the…

The thematic maps above are projections from the IPCC AFRICA Some regions are likely to experience water shortages. Coupled with increasing demand, this is likely to result in large increases in the number of people at risk of water scarcity. It is likely to affect livelihoods, the report by the International…

Evidence of a changing planet can be seen on NASA s website - Global Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet. One of the many features of this site is a series of revealing before-and-after pictures. For example, land is visibly red and scorched after a lightning fire burned more than 14, acres of…

Icelandic landscape (stock image). The theoretical equation reveals the complex relationship between carbon dioxide levels and the ocean system. Burning fossil fuels increases atmospheric carbon dioxide levels leading to global warming and the greenhouse effect, which is partly offset by the oceans taking…

John Cook’s methodology proves that there is a “pause consensus”. Guest essay by Paul C. “Chip” Knappenberger and Patrick J. Michaels, Center for the Study of Science, Cato Institute The central premise of “global warming” is that human greenhouse-gas emissions will lead to a rise in the earth’s average…
