Click picture to see video By Andy May Update: You may be able to watch the debate at this link. The debate I announced here between Steve Koonin and Andy Dessler took place Monday August 15th, it was very educational and illuminating. I will try and write more about it in a few days. [...]
By Javier Vinós & Andy May Reposted from Climate Etc. “The atmospheric heat transport on Earth from the Equator to the poles is largely carried out by the mid-latitude storms. However, there is no satisfactory theory to describe this fundamental feature of the Earth’s climate.” Leon Barry, George C. Craig & John Thuburn (2002) [...]
Heat wave in Paris in 2019. Originally published at the blog Science Under Attack. In a warming world, it would hardly be surprising if heat waves were becoming more common. By definition, heat waves are periods of abnormally hot weather, lasting from days to weeks. But is this widely held belief actually [...]
