Global Warming: What Will The Next Decade Bring?
Posted: May 2nd, 2008, 12:42pm CEST
Fair bit of blogosphere commentary on this story about a team of German reseachers who ...predict...a slight cooling of Europe and North America, probably related to shifting currents and patterns in the oceans... ...over the course of the next decade, after which they expect AGW to overwhelm natural climate variability. Climatologist James Annan is not impressed. And New York Times writer Andy Revkin wonders if our short human attention spans will not drift away from AGW as a political issu

Global warming: Delayed!
Posted: May 2nd, 2008, 12:40pm CEST
The audacity of the global warming crowd knows no bounds. Despite all the warnings about how temperatures are rising, icebergs melting, polar bears drowning and so on, many people have noticed that the average temperature has not risen for 10 years. And with NASA’s revision of its numbers a few months ago, warm-mongers can’t even claim any more that most of the hottest years have occurred since the mid-90s. Still, that hasn’t stopped them. BUT … The journal Nature now reports that German sc

To hot Volcom to the rescue
Posted: May 2nd, 2008, 12:28pm CEST
What a day in Sapporo. the news said 26 degrees, but my car thermometor said 31 degrees outside and 44 inside! My car was hot today, way to hot for May the 2nd in Sapporo. I sure we are setting new records over here for high temps in May. I wore a long sleeve shirt to go shopping today, but changed to a tank top as soon as I got home. I have never ever worn a tank top in May, they usually only come out in August for about two weeks and then go back in the closet. I was starting to get annoyed

I can’t tell if this story is a re-telling of this one we posted four weeks ago (thank you, thank you very much), or a whole new refutation of the alarmist idiocy known as… whatever they’re calling the weather today. Global warming will stop until at least 2015 because of natural variations in the climate, scientists have said. Researchers studying long-term changes in sea temperatures said they now expect a “lull” for up to a decade while natural variations in climate cancel out the increase

Hanya pengamatan di Megamendung, Bogor, yang berhasil mengamati salah satu hujan meteor yang dianggap paling spektakuler sepanjang tahun ini. Pengamatan di kawasan Megamendung, dilakukan oleh Himpunan Astronom Amatir Jakarta (HAAJ).

Yup, satu lagi artikel tentang global warming alias pemanasan global. Mumpung semua orang memang sedang membahas global warming, dan mumpung konferensi yang di Bali belum selesai, aku mau bahas sedikit saja soal global warming. Bukan sebab-sebab atau gejala-gejala global warming yang mau aku tuliskan di sini. Bukan apa-apa, aku merasa memang aku bukan orang yang tepat untuk itu. Masih jauh lebih banyak orang yang lebih pintar dan berkompetensi untuk menjelaskan dari A-Z tentang global warming.

Who needs subsidies for alt-fuel cars?
Posted: May 2nd, 2008, 10:36am CEST
Every entrepreneur that’s in the business of making something new or better would love to get government subsidies to help them “reach economies of scale”, or “pay for the social benefit of being green”, or some such thing. Of course they would. Government intervention can reduce the risk of innovation, and can even force customers to buy your product whether they like it or not. Such subsidies are fundamentally unjust, however, because in effect, taxpayers end up paying for the research and ca

Ocean 'Thermostat' May Be Our Secret Weapon Against Global Warming
Posted: May 2nd, 2008, 9:05am CEST
The Earth's temperature may stay roughly the same for a decade, as natural climate cycles enter a cooling phase, scientists have predicted. A new computer model developed by German researchers, reported in the journal Nature, suggests the cooling will counter greenhouse warming. However, temperatures will again be rising quickly by about 2020, they say. "One message from our study is that in the short term, you can see changes in the global mean temperature that you might not expect given th

Natural England?
Posted: April 10th, 2008, 9:25am CEST
A lot of the land in eastern Essex, and in Suffolk and Norfolk, is below sea level. This is most easterly part of England to the north of the Thames estuary, on the edge of the North Sea. It is mostly marshland that has been reclaimed from the sea at various points over the last couple of thousand years. This reclaimed marshland is protected from flooding by a vast network of seawalls and drainage ditches - which allow rainwater to run off at low tide. And these seawalls have to be constantly
