NASA Study Links Severe Storm Increases, Global Warming At the present rate of global warming of 0.13 degrees Celsius (0.23 degrees Fahrenheit) per decade, the team inferred the frequency of these storms can be expected to increase by six percent per decade. Climate modelers have long speculated that the frequency and intensity of severe storms may or may not increase with global warming. Aumann said results of the study will help improve their models. “Clouds and rain have been the weakest

Some dummies in the German firm of Munich Re, a reinsurer, claim that the total of 220K dead this year due to natural disasters shows that The world needed “effective and binding rules on CO2 emissions, so that climate change is curbed and future generations do not have to live with weather scenarios that are difficult to control,” board member Jeworrek said. Now, I can understand how they might think that cyclones (an extreme low pressure on water) and extreme low pressure on land could co

Thunderstorms develop where a plume of warm, moist buoyant air is rising rapidly upward through the atmosphere. The warm, moist air usually originates near the ground and rises to 12 km or more. As it rises, the air cools slowly and forms a mushroom shaped cloud called a “cumulonimbus” cloud. According to a presentation on 19 December 2008 at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) inhabitants of the tropics can expect to see more severe storms if sea-surface temperatures

I have been listening to Adam Curry’s Daily Source Code since October 2004. Back then when podcasting was new and fresh, his show was pretty good. It was a good place to lean about new podcasts and new things going on in the space. Ever since he started Podshow the show has gone downhill. The only reason I kept on listening was because half the show was some crap music that I could fast forward through, so it wasn’t wasting much of my time. Now, his shows are getting longer and longer, and al

This movie takes a big-budget, special-effects-filled look at what the world would look like if the greenhouse effect and global warming continued at such levels that they resulted in worldwide catastrophe and disaster, including multiple hurricanes, tornadoes, tidal waves, floods and the beginning of the next Ice Age. At the center of the story is a paleoclimatologist (a scientist who studies the ways weather patterns changed in the past), Professor Jack Hall (Quaid), who tries to save the wor

I tell you what, the conservative movement is now totally destroyed. Some idiot running for RNC chairman took a sweet child’s song and twisted it into an ugly, racist, turd of supposed humor: The sending of a Christmas greeting by Chip Saltsman to the members of the Republican National Committee that includes a recording of the so-called parody, “Barack the Magic Negro” is not only offensive, it is shocking and saddening in the extreme. It flies in the face of America’s deeply held hope for a

Through rustic images of America and a call for technological ingenuity, “clean coal” media advertisements became pervasive across the United States this year. The coal industry promises an abundant and cheap energy solution that also protects the environment. Yet the clean coal solution to climate change is not currently economical, leading many environmentalists to criticize the advertisements as deceptive. To shed some light on the clean coal debate, the Center for American Progress,
