The study of Global Warming.: March 2011

http://stsimonsislandgaguys.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

The study of Global Warming. Sunday, March 27, 2011. Harold Urey and Cesare Emiliani. However, not all was quiet on the anthropogenic global warming front. Harold Urey. 1893-1981) is one of the towering giants of 20th century science. He won the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1934 for research in isotopes. He discovered deuterium. Professor and adviser, and together they crafted the Miller-Urey experiment. Could be generated easily and in large quantities by natural processes. Harold Urey realized that eva...

The study of Global Warming.: New Maunder Minimum? Don't Count on it!

http://stsimonsislandgaguys.blogspot.com/2011/06/new-maunder-minimum-dont-count-on-it.html

The study of Global Warming. Wednesday, June 15, 2011. Don't Count on it! There's been a lot of loose talk in the past couple days about a new Maunder Minimum. That will save us from the consequences of our greenhouse gas emissions. Would that were true. Even if a new Maunder Minimum does happen, the radiative forcing by additional carbon dioxide will overwhelm the effects of a reduction in solar activity, even a prolonged and deep one. A NASA image of the Maunder Minimum:. Which goes into further detail.

The study of Global Warming.: July 2011

http://stsimonsislandgaguys.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

The study of Global Warming. Saturday, July 2, 2011. Global warming is here, and soon in an unprecedented way! On June 30, NOAA released the new climate normals for the 1981-2010 period for the USA. Average temperatures were 0.5°F higher in 1981-2010 than in 1971-2000. Since the period 1981-2000 is included in both periods, this means that the 2000s were 1.5°F warmer than the 1970s in the USA! There can be no clearer indication that global warming is here. The PETM was a huge warming triggered by mass re...

The study of Global Warming.: February 2011

http://stsimonsislandgaguys.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

The study of Global Warming. Sunday, February 13, 2011. Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Chamberlin, and the circulation of the oceans. Franklin thought so- -and expanded on his ideas about weather and climate in a speech he gave in 1784 titled 'Meteorological Imaginations and Conjectures' which he later submitted as a paper to the Memoirs of the Literary and Philosophical Society of Manchester. Where it was published in pages 373-377 in their 1789 folio. Was perhaps the greatest scientific expedition of the 19...

The study of Global Warming. Monday, May 30, 2011. The Causes of Climate Change conference- Boulder, CO 1965. Are human technology and activities forces of geophysical scope, capable of affecting the entire planet Earth? Billion tons for the first time in 2010, q.v. By 1965, humankind's carbon dioxide emissions were greater than 12 billion tons annually, and rising by more than half a billion tons per year. The assumption that carbon dioxide emissions would remain relatively low was incorrect. This graph...

The study of Global Warming.: Sea Level Rise

http://stsimonsislandgaguys.blogspot.com/2011/08/sea-level-rise.html

The study of Global Warming. Wednesday, August 3, 2011. I will be discussing this topic in various blog entries over the next several weeks, possibly longer, as I will concentrate on tropical systems affecting my area in other blogs, as warrented. As ice sheets melt and the mass balance of the Earth changes as a result, isostatic rebound. Many laypeople assume that sea level rise will be uniform. After all if you add water to the ocean, it should rise everywhere, shouldn't it? A good illustration of the ...

The study of Global Warming.: Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide hits new record; the rise's acceleration.

http://stsimonsislandgaguys.blogspot.com/2011/06/atmospheric-carbon-dioxide-hits-new.html

The study of Global Warming. Tuesday, June 14, 2011. Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide hits new record; the rise's acceleration. Atmospheric carbon dioxide hit a new all time record at the Mauna Loa observation site, as it has in every. May since observations began. 394.15 ppm, on track to hit 400 ppm in spring 2014. Recent graph below:. And I love Mike Luckovich's cartoons. Especially this one:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). BBC - Richard Black's Earth Watch. FDA Washes the Dirt from Antibacterial Soaps.
