There couldn’t possibly be another explanation than people living high carbon lifestyles, right? Here’s Excitable Shea Gunther at Mother Nature Network You know it’s hot outside when the traffic lights are melting WIth temperatures hovering around 110 degrees in Kuwait right now, it shouldn’t be too surprising to see something like a melted traffic light.

Sad when we have to start the post with a facepalm, rather than ending with one (Bloomberg) The El Nino weather pattern that can bring drought to Australia and rain to South America was “unusually active†at the end of the 20th century, possibly due to climate change, a University of Hawaii study found. Researchers […]

The best is the one from Hawaii, which notes (via Watts Up With That?) The US Department of Agriculture designated 31 counties in Hawaii as primary natural disaster areas due to damages and losses from drought in 2012. Hawaii has 5 counties. One would think that a president who was raised there might know that. […]

Alternate headline: Guy with a pretty darned big carbon footprint who’s mayor of a city with a pretty darned big carbon footprint forgot to take his meds (via Watts Up With That?) (NY Daily News) CLIMATE CHANGE is real — and it could turn the city into a flood-prone danger zone with summers as sweltering […]

All hail the computer model!!!!! (Washington Post) Global emissions of carbon dioxide from energy use rose 1.4 percent to 31.6 gigatons in 2012, setting a record and putting the planet on course for temperature increases well above international climate goals, the International Energy Agency said in a report scheduled to be issued Monday. The agency […]

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 […]

Warmists have been anticipating CO2 hitting the CO2 mark with glee, much like they anticipated death milestones during the Iraq war (well, at least while Bush was president), and now they get their wish (NY Times) The level of the most important heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere, carbon dioxide, has passed a long-feared milestone, scientists […]
