This post links to the YouTube video of my latest appearance on Sandy Schoelles’ show, “Environmental Coffeehouse,” featuring my conversation with Jennifer Hynes about the recent Guardian article, “Methane much more sensitive to global heating than previously thought.” We take a deep dive into a bit of atmospheric chemistry involving hydroxyl radicals and discuss two feedback loops that may be […]
Andrew Glickson made three simple errors calculating CO2e. I refer you here: https://climatecasino.net/2024/08/the-long-and-winding-road-to-co2e/ You might want to ask him about…
This essay has stood the test of time. To quote Friedrich Nietzsche: "Hope in reality is the worst of all…
Fair question. Here are all the greenhouse gases with historical concentrations and projected out until 2500. https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/13/3571/2020/
Thanks! Shame on NOAA for not making that clear.
My first article addresses this question. See "the third mistake" and it's fix.
This is confusing to me. Pre-industrial the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere was about 280ppm. But there was significant…
Complete cessation of burning fossil fuels is on the far side of Net Zero, and we're making very little progress…
A couple of months ago I discovered that Mann had blocked me on twitter. Although he and I are Facebook…
