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,…
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.…
It’s not the averages that will mess up your hair, it’s the gusts. This work on modeling the unmodelable (Drijfhout 2015) is a couple of years old now, but it gives…
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…
South Padre Island sea level rise erosion, mile 11 beyond end of pavement, Spring Tide, April 2014, non-storm conditions: Spring Tides in April and King Tides in October are the…
One of the biggest myths about climate change is that emissions reductions cool Earth. This is nowhere close to reality. Even the Paris Commitments of 80 percent emissions reductions by…
Previous Larsen Ice Shelf Collapses: "A" was in 1995, "B" in 2002. The collapses around Antarctica are increasing in frequency farther south as global warming progresses. NASA Image. Scientists may…
Ilulissat Icefjord discharge, Greenland. Looking out to sea from the mouth of the icefjord. The tallest bergs are over 200 feet high. Ice loss from Greenland has increased over 600…
Sea level rise erosion, South Padre Island, about mile 20 up the four-wheel drive beach. This erosion is occurring during normal, non-storm tides when the sun and moon align to…
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…
Record Greenland Melt August 2012. This image is from 35 miles inland from the edge of the ice sheet due east from a place called Point 660, which is about…
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."…
Icebergs fresh from the Greenland Ice Sheet at the mouth of the UIllusiat Icefjord. The Jakobshavn Glacier calved these bergs. It is the fastest moving glacier in the world at…
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…

The Gulf Stream may not actually shut down, but it is slowing now and has been for some time (see here) and these researchers have come close—if not having actually…

The Arctic is warming on average twice as fast as the global average, but in places the warming is double even this rate. Implications are immense as the Arctic is…

Work from Leeds, Durham University, the Byrd Polar Research Center and University of California, Irvine, have taken a deeper look into melt lakes forming on the Greenland Ice Sheet. There…
