by Judith Curry I’ve been invited to write an article on climate uncertainty and risk. It’s been about 5  years since I’ve written a new article on this topic; this article provides my current perspectives...

by Dan Hughes and Tomas Milanovic Further reflections on the application of the divergence theorem to the Earth’s climate system. Introduction The subject of a recent post at CE was application of the divergence theorem...

Guest essay by Bob Irvine Is it true that energy from either an outside source or an increase in insulation will warm a system according to or in proportion to its residence time in that system? If true, this might explain...

by Dan Huges It is not a boundary value problem. Abstract The total energy equation is applied to Earth’s entire atmosphere and sub-systems to investigate requirements that the energy content of Earth’s climate...

Guest essay by Eric Worrall The researchers claim adding historical data derived fudge factors to correct the discrepancy between climate models and historical observations, producing a Frankenmodel mix of fudge factors and...

By Andy May It’s more likely mostly due to both, but that isn’t really the question. Virtually everyone accepts that climate changes and that CO2 and methane are greenhouse gases; and probably everyone remembers...

A new paper published by NASA by Tsigaridis and Kanakidou suggests that climate models have missed the forcing effects of organic aerosols, such as VOC’s from trees, oceans, and other sources that combine chemically...

The four constraints that Caldwell assessed as credible A guest post by Nic Lewis In Part 1 of this article the nature and validity of emergent constraints[i] on equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) in GCMs were discussed,...

Guest essay by Eric Worrall A new study claims that while the US West will feel the impact of Climate Change by 2028, Southern Great [Plains] region won’t notice Climate Change until 2074...

Their nature and assessment of their validity A guest post by Nic Lewis There have been quite a number of papers published in recent years concerning “emergent constraints” on equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS)...

From the “models aren’t the same as reality unless you have a bigger computer” department. Global climate is a tremendously complex phenomenon, and researchers are making painstaking progress, year by year,...

This paper was published in late 2017, and we didn’t notice it then. Today thanks to a tip from Dr. Willie Soon, via Willis Eschenbach, we notice it now. The paper is open access. See PDF link below. Seeding Chaos:...

A guest post by Nic Lewis Introduction and summary Recently a new model-based paper on climate sensitivity was published by Kate Marvel, Gavin Schmidt (the head of NASA GISS) and others, titled ‘Internal variability...

Guest essay by Eric Worrall Snap frozen sharks and brutal winter cold will soon be a thing of the past, according to climate scientists. Cold snaps just ain’t what they used to be, scientists find BY ANDREW FREEDMAN...
