Andrew Freedman outdid himself on Climate Central with an excellent overview of the scientific debate on the link between Arctic sea ice loss and a wavy jet stream causing weird and extreme weather. Coincidentally (?) there's an "extreme kink" in it right now that just caused the warmest Decemb...

Massive PIG Iceberg Breaks Free By Matt Owens November 14, 2013 Above: Pine Island Glacier (PIG), Antarctica - a massive iceberg calves from its floating ice shelf. This time-lapse animation runs from the end of October through November 14, 2013. The iceberg is almost 30 km wi...

We return with some more info from the land of unknown, the land that is very important for our own land, but of which we do not seem to want to know more, as we are strangely comfortable with the unknown. I'm talking about methane, of course, the potent greenhouse gas of which enormous quantit...

A Local Climate Patriot By John Cartmill September 24, 2013 On March 1, 2014, 1,000 climate patriots will set out from Los Angeles, CA, the largest coast-to-coast march in American history, to inspire action to resolve the climate crisis. Last week, at a screening of the mov...

There are several scientific organisations that keep an eye on the Arctic sea ice cover and put out graphs to inform us of the amount of ice that is left. You can see most, if not all, of them on the ASI Graphs webpage. I expect the record on most of these graphs to be broken in weeks to come. -...

All models are wrong, but some are useful, as the saying goes. However, when looking at how Arctic sea ice decline is modeled, one might be tempted to say that all sayings are useful, but some are wrong. To be fair, I should be the last person taking a piss at climate models. Hundreds of brill...
