Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report, September 24, 2019The Ocean and Cryosphere (the icy part of our planet) in a Changing ClimateA Summary of Important Findings Overall of course,…

Why are climate change impacts so much worse than projected? What does it mean? Why don’t we do something? In a nutshell, science is conservative, it’s slow, and the great climate…
Image of mega berg calving of the Jakobshavn Glacier (Ilullisat Glacier) in Greenland. The same process is now happening in Antarctic, with the result of much faster sea level rise….
Padre Island National Seashore, 52 miles beyond the “Four-wheel Drive Only” sign. Dune erosion from normal biannual high tides — the King and Spring Tides in October and April. NOAA’s…

The Devil’s Elbow: Just about as far as one can get from anywhere in Texas, this area is the big bend in the Texas coast on Padre Island, 35 miles…
NASA: Pine Island Glacier rift for iceberg B-44 that calved September 25. This calving is one of an increasing number from this critical collapse initiating area of the West Antarctic…
As flood frequency increases, when will the time come where recovery is no longer worth the effort? Climate catastrophism, or as it will be called soon, reality, is getting tougher…
McClatchy reported on a new NOAA sea level rise impact report and made some very good points. But a lot of the true meaning is left out. I like to…
Scientists may not be able to tell if this calving event was caused by climate change or not because of the constraints of certainty in science, but engineers have different…
Something that is not clear in the overall climate discussion is that global warming is a radically different beast from abrupt change. We hear abrupt change bandied about, but often…
Fifty-two feet of sea level rise occurred in 400 years, 14,500 years ago with ocean and collapse conditions similar to today. We were coming out of the last ice age…
This New York Times article from May has compiled the best of current Antarctic science images into a huge three-part piece, but some of the most important reporting is completely…
It’s not the averages that are troublesome. The understating reporting of scientists, journalists and climate science consensus organizations is one of the most confounding parts of climate change today. It’s the…
President Trump it seems, has given us permission to backslide with our thinking about climate change. Until we have rule or law that tells us we must do something about…
New research has for the first time defined the tipping point between a stable WAIS and an Antarctica that collapses uncontrollably. Potsdam Institute researchers (Levermann and Feldmann) tell us is…
We have delayed too long and now must urgently reduce the load of warming gases already emitted to our sky. We have been warned this would happen for decades, we…
And they also say that Elvis is not dead. But alas… the answer is no, we are not saved. Things are actually getting worse because of the so-called “flattening emissions.”…
First published on Truthout December 26, 3015, by Bruce Melton. Climate science is way out in front of climate policy. Commitments at the United Nations Climate Conference in Paris pale in…
Our previous understanding of how the Antarctic Ice Sheet responded to warming at the end of the last ice age 10 to 20 thousand years ago was based on only…
