It turns out @MatthewWielicki contradicted himself when he claimed that 2°C by 2100 isn't a problem because it's about the change in temperature from 8 am to 10 am. He knows that he's wrong and why he's wrong. xitter.cf/MatthewWielicki/status… I show this here. woodromances.blogspot.com/20…
Is a couple of degrees of warming by 2100 really an emergency? Well, let's put that into context... That's about the temperature change from 8am to 10am in most major cities. Are we experiencing an emergency every morning?

If you're an aviator that is concerned about carburetor icing, consider using RAOB to evaluate risk, just like the NTSB does. (raob.com)

Chris Martz seems to think that making US maps that show record high temperatures for each state can be used as evidence against the fact that extreme heat is becoming a larger problem in the US. Here's why that's wrong. woodromances.blogspot.com/20…

Chris Martz has questions. He thinks they're hard to answer. They're not. woodromances.blogspot.com/20…

Some thoughts on the continued relevancy of RCP8.5. It's the scenario that many climate contrarians want. woodromances.blogspot.com/20…

I did some calculations from the data published in the Indicators of Global Climate Change 2025 and found an ECS of ~3.5°C. Obviously this is just a back of the envelope calculation, but I thought it was fun. woodromances.blogspot.com/20…

This is a short summary of why geologists know that greenhouse gases, especially CO2, are the primary drivers of global temperature variability on geologic time scales. woodromances.blogspot.com/20…

Yes, global temperatures actually do follow changes in CO2. woodromances.blogspot.com/20…

Vinos is at it again. Not every year has to be a record low SIE for scientists to know that Arctic sea ice is getting thinner and younger. xitter.cf/JVinos_Climate/status/…

My thoughts on two recent papers indicating a ~20 year "pause" Arctic sea ice extent. Mostly so I don't have to keep writing the same thing over and over again to people on X who haven't read the papers. woodromances.blogspot.com/20…

The DOE climate report even misrepresents studies authored by members of the CWG in it's discussion of the urban heat island effect. woodromances.blogspot.com/20…

The DOE report cites Lewis 2022's ECS paper as if it's a legitimate critique of Sherwood et al 2020. I think that's irresponsible, especially given the mistake Lewis made with the PETM. woodromances.blogspot.com/20…

My thoughts on the new "Critical Review" by the "Climate Working Group," hired by the Dept of Energy. In my view, it's neither critical nor a review. It's more like Feynman's warnings about "cargo cult science." woodromances.blogspot.com/20…

By about 1900, global warming rates exceeded 10x the warming rates experienced during "rapid" deglaciation events during the Quaternary. Warming rates now exceed 20x what the Earth experiences during these glacial cycles. woodromances.blogspot.com/20…
