Another Study Links Warming To Cloud Forcing, Shortwave Radiation, Natural Atmospheric Circulation

Natural atmospheric circulation patterns (like the Western Tibetan Vortex, or WTV) drive total cloud cover (TCC) change, which, in turn modulate the the amount of downward solar ra...

Proposed Theory of Historical Global Cloud Cover.

            This expansion of the CRGW theory is intended to be a possible tool in the investigation of historical climate change to explore what did cloud fraction do as the earth...

New Study: The Climate May Be 5 Times More Sensitive To Solar Forcing Than Commonly Assumed

The climate sensitivity to a doubling of CO2 with feedbacks may only be about 1°C, with humans contributing just 30% to the global warming since 1850. New research indicates the cl...

Real-World Observations Do Not Support The Position That Climate Change Is Human-Caused

According to a recent presentation by climate scientist Dr. Ole Humlum published in Science of Climate Change: Real-world observations show both cooling and warming trends in the A...

Cooling the Planet Could Come at a Devastating Cost

Efforts to cool the planet may do more than lower temperatures, they could fundamentally reshape Earth’s climate systems. As carbon dioxide emissions continue to rise, more policym...

The Climate Physics of Planet Earth

Building Earth is a new interactive map that explains how the Earth's climate has developed over millions of years through the lens of physics. The map strips the planet back to it...

Beyond the Forecast: Navigating Global Volatility with Weather Intelligence

A New Study Explains How Carbon Dioxide Cools the Upper Atmosphere—and Warms Earth Below

Researchers have solved a long-standing atmospheric puzzle: how rising carbon dioxide cools the stratosphere even as it warms Earth’s surface and lower atmosphere.

Human-caused climate change is unmistakably distinct from Earth’s natural climate variability

This is a re-post from Staying Curious by Dean Rovang This post presents two figures that are the culmination of an extended effort to build the strongest possible empirical case f...

Earth’s Upper Atmosphere Is Cooling Fast and Scientists Finally Know Why

Earth’s surface and lower atmosphere are getting hotter, but far above the planet, another dramatic change has been unfolding in the opposite direction. The upper atmosphere has be...
