The Neoglacial Period
4+ hour, 37+ min ago (1237+ words) Solar variability did contribute to climate change over the past 1,000 years. Most agree that the Milankovitch cycles of eccentricity, obliquity, and precession drive long-term global and hemispheric climate changes, see figure 4 in this post for a brief description of them....
Models Gone Wild: The Ionosphere Triggers Earthquakes?
2+ day, 20+ hour ago (1101+ words) Kyoto, Japan " Researchers at Kyoto University have proposed a new physical model that explores how disturbances in the ionosphere may exert electrostatic forces within the Earth's crust and potentially contribute to the initiation of large earthquakes under specific conditions. The…...
Holocene Glacier Records
5+ day, 20+ hour ago (191+ words) Advancing and retreating glaciers leave evidence of their fluctuations in length in glacial till deposits called moraines. Glacier moraines are easily identified and are distinct from other sediments and sedimentary rocks because they contain angular boulders, and they are unsorted…...
Aerosols: The Heads I Win, Tails You Lose of Climate Science
1+ week, 1+ day ago (1763+ words) The authors summarize the headline result succinctly: "These SO" reductions result in an increase to global net instantaneous radiative forcing of "0.100.15 W m" by 2020, with regional effects up to "6 times greater." That number is then framed as potentially important for…...
Changing Sunlight, Weather & Climate
3+ week, 3+ day ago (1284+ words) This article examines Earth's position in relationship to the Sun as well as solar activity in high spatial and temporal detail across the globe to better understand how the Sun influences weather and climate change." Daily sunlight data across latitudes…...
Weather Reanalysis Models
1+ mon, 20+ hour ago (1189+ words) By Andy May My new paper (May, 2025) emphasizes that while many of the underlying observations used to build weather reanalysis datasets, such as ERA5 (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts or ECMWF Reanalysis v5) (Soci et al., 2024) or MERRA-2 (Modern-Era Retrospective analysis…...
Measuring and Analysing Sea Levels using Satellites during 2025
1+ mon, 5+ day ago (1891+ words) by Dr. Alan Welch FBIS FRAS This report presents and analyses the sea level data for 2025." It was a roller coaster year for sea level data that turned into a "Hunt the Data" exercise." As a consequence, the analyses main…...
New Study: Greenland Was 3-7°C Warmer And Far Less Glaciated Than Today 6000-8000 Years Ago
1+ mon, 6+ day ago (1790+ words) Prudhoe Dome (PD), a 2500 km" section of northwestern Greenland's ice sheet (GIS), is today 500 to 600 m thick (Walcott-George et al., 2026). The primary mechanism for the PD deglaciation was the estimated 3-7C warmer-than-present regional temperatures. This warming and the consequent ice cap…...
Attention, Energies Media, Sea Level Cannot be Submerging Tokelau if Tokelau is Growing
1+ mon, 1+ week ago (644+ words) Energies Media seems to have relied on a lot of very outdated information to make their fearmongering claims about Tokelau. If the media outlet was really interested in the facts rather than pushing climate alarmism, it would know the status…...
Finding the 1859 Carrington Event in Tree Rings
1+ mon, 2+ week ago (647+ words) A research group coordinated by the University of Helsinki was able to measure a spike in radiocarbon concentration of trees in Lapland that occurred after the Carrington flare. This discovery helps to prepare for dangerous solar storms. The Carrington Event…...
