NOAA Climate Study Challenged and Defended, Again

Nicholas Say — Mon, 13 Feb 2017 21:25:04 +0000

It would appear that once again NOAA climate data is being looked at, and the entire idea of climate change is being called into question. The alleged mishandling of data by NOAA is being scandalized. A recent blog post by a former NOAA scientist has ignited this round of chicanery, and it shows no signs […]

NOAA: Carbon Wise, We Are Back in the Pliocene Era

Sarah Higman — Sun, 10 May 2015 19:06:31 +0000

The global average concentration of the greenhouse gas surpassed 400 parts per million in March this year. These levels haven’t been seen in over 3 million years, well before humans walked on earth. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released these findings from their latest global measurements and state these figures is a […]

Climate Change Increasing Frequency and Severity of Climate Anomalies

As weather extremes continue to batter and baffle us, climate change deniers continue to point to them, especially cold-weather events, to paint global warming a hoax, saying “There’s nothing to worry about.” As we discussed, yesterday, as Dr. Holden, Science Advisor to the President of the United States, put it, “No single weather episode can […]

NOAA Study Demonstrates Global Warming Over Land is Real

Leigh Hutchens — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 02:50:01 +0000

A new study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) demonstrates that concerns about global warming over land are legitimate. Gilbert Compo, a scientist at NOAA’s University of Colorado Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences used a physically-based data assimilation system, 20th Century Reanalysis (20CR) to evaluate the accuracy of global warming theories. […]

NOAA’s Geostationary Weather/Climate Satellites Get Additional Funds From Senate

Mila Luleva — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 18:44:00 +0000

The federal government is likely receive a fund of $984 billion, as it was announced earlier this week by the leaders of the Senate Appropriations Committee. The fund will be allocated for the period between March and September 2013, and the final decision will be taken on Tuesday. Around $5.1 billion will be given to […]

Increasing CO2 Levels Leading to Greater Temperature Rise Than Expected

Leigh Hutchens — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 04:32:36 +0000

In 2012, levels of carbon dioxide increased rapidly, making it clear that temperatures are going to rise beyond the 2 degrees Fahrenheit that scientists previously thought. Federal figures show that the CO2 rise is due primarily to the global economy ramping up and burning more fossil fuels that ever. China is the primary culprit. According […]

2012 Spring in U.S. Was the Hottest Ever, NOAA Scientists Conclude

Ovidiu Sandru — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 19:05:02 +0000

The effects of global warming are starting to be felt more and more. NOAA scientists said that the continental U.S. experienced the warmest spring since they started recording the temperatures in 1901. “Spring 2012 marked the largest temperature departure from average of any season on record for the contiguous United States,” the scientists said. This […]

Throwing Chemicals Into The Air – Solution to Global Warming?

Ovidiu Sandru — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 08:45:21 +0000

Certain bright minds say we should throw trillions of mirrors into space to slow global warming. It doesn't seem like a bad idea at a first glance, but other enlightened thoughts say we should release chemicals into the air to do just that.
