Because, you know, doom (even though that 400ppm thing didn’t happen the other week) (via Tom Nelson) (Spanner Films) You’ve probably heard the appalling news that, for the first time in human history, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has just passed 400 parts per million. (Eh? Scientific America’s explanation here).  It’s been 2.5 […]

Doom (Time) It’s easy to forget that global warming doesn’t just refer to the rising temperature of the air. Climate change is having an enormous, if less well understood, impact on the oceans, which already absorb far more carbon dioxide than the atmosphere. Like so much of what goes on in the vast depths that […]

Doooooooooom! (Climate change increasing wave height) Surfers would like this. But, you know, doom! Scientists are beginning to predict how climate change will influence the height of waves. The impact on wave height has been a neglected area of research until now. CSIRO research scientist Mark Hemer says buoys and satellites scientists around the world […]

Doooooooom! (Grist) Following a tempestuous 2012, another torrent of hurricanes and superstorms is forecast to crash into the Atlantic coastline this year. Um, we had Superstorm Sandy, the first big superstorm (which was not a hurricane when it made landfall on the US east coast) since 1991. We had one just barely a hurricane (it […]
