The Problem is so Much Bigger… 350 ppm CO2 to prevent dangerous climate change

By Bruce Melton PEUncategorized

What James Hansen, the most important climate modeler in the world, has said about CO2 concentrations: that we need to reduce our CO2 levels to 350 ppm. How are we going to do that with CO2 reductions? With a CO2 tax? With cap and trade? Taxes, caps and trades, increasing efficiency, using less energy to…

NOAA Scientist Says Unstoppable, Irreversible, Worse Than We Thought, Happening Now

By Bruce Melton PEUncategorized

Published today in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Science by Solomon et. al. The paper warns that we have already started to see accelerating impacts, and that even if we were to stop emitting all greenhouse gasses today, changes would continue for 1,000 years. The authors made certain to make it clear that…

Remember, average global warming over land is double the global average because of the cooling influence of our oceans and ice sheets, or 3.56 degrees C in December (6.4 F). and the average over the arctic is four times the global average or 7.12 C (12.8 F). Importantly, the increase in extreme temperature is far greater than the average, and extreme weather increases nonlinearly because of the basics of heat and energy physics, where a little warming does not create a little more extremeness in the weather, it creates a lot more.
