In further research that supports the hypothesis that global warming may reduce damage from hurricanes, NOAA published a preview of upcoming research today (Warmer Ocean Could Reduce Number of Atlantic Hurricane Landfalls). New research indicates that increased ocean temperatures will, as expected, increase wind shear over the oceans which in turn, may reduce the […]

Could it possibly be that polar bears are not as endangered by global climate change as has previously been believed? New research seems to indicate that polar bear populations are thriving in the Arctic, even as the climate warms and ice melts.

A survey of the animals’ numbers in Canada’s eastern Arctic has revealed […]

The complicated connection between climate dynamics and hurricane strength and frequency continues to get more complex with each piece of research that is released.The latest research, as published in the journal “Nature”, indicates that even during periods when ocean waters were cooler, hurricanes were more frequent.
While this doesn’t directly dispute the popular belief that hurricane […]

In a scathing review of how far off track the Weather Channel has gone from it’s original, well-intentioned mission, its first “Director of Meteorology” laments the loss in a piece he recently published online:
It has taken a turn in recent years to being more and more part time weather and part-time “Discovery Channel”. Now with […]

While many articles draw a direct connection between Australia’s ongoing drought and global climate change, the connection is far from solid at this point. But what is clearly understood is that the ongoing and worsening drougt in the interior of Australia is having profound impacts on it’s agriculture, economy, and beyond.
The opening of one […]

Here we go again…another forecast for an “exceptionally active” hurricane season. Last spring, similar forecasts were touted following the horrific 2005 hurricane season. But what went largely unreported regarding last year’s hurricane season was how quiet it ended up being and how horribly incorrect those forecasts were. Obviously we have yet to […]

Crazy indeed. This AP report (Crazy ideas to combat global warming) needs to be saved so that people can laugh even harder when they look back at how bonkos this country has become for global warming:
Crazy-sounding ideas for saving the planet are getting a serious look from top scientists, a sign of their fears […]

It appears as though solar variability is gaining some mainstream media attention in being cited as a likely impetus for terrestrial climate change. But for confirmation of this, scientists have now begun to look beyond the Earth to other areas of our solar system. Most recently, research on the climate of Mars has […]

What do we know about global warming - about the state of our climate? When it comes down to it, we don’t know that much. Attempting to simulate the behavior of our atmosphere via quantitative (computer) models has proven an incredibly challenging endeavour. The complexities involved in such a task are only […]

The state of Delaware has rebuked their state climatologist, attempting to distance themselves (or at least the Governor is) from their “state climatologist” over disagreements in the state’s official stance on global warming.
WILMINGTON, Del. — Gov. Ruth Ann Minner has directed Delaware’s state climatologist to stop using his title in public statements on climate […]
