Climategate
Saturday, April 6, 2013 1:16 A.M. I’ve only recently heard of the “Climategate” scandal. Whenever I’d be looking at an online news article that had something about global warming and allowed people to comment on it, a surprisingly large amount of people would bring up the word “Climategate.” Usually, they would juxtapose the mentioning of […]
Climate Change and Love
Tuesday, April 2, 2013 11:01 P.M. There is so much debate among the public about climate change. Is it real? Is it serious? Is it worth doing anything about? Or is it just a ‘hoax’ carefully designed to allow certain people to selfishly accomplish their own goals? The consistent readers of this blog know my […]
Where’s Credible Climate Information?
Saturday, March 30, 2013 12:59 A.M. Finding Waldo took me about 15 seconds. I guess I just got lucky. But finding truthful, scientifically-accurate sites about global warming and climate change? Yikes. I’m still looking. Thankfully, there are quite a few sites out there that have pretty darn good information and are scientifically sound. For me, […]
Global Warming: Science vs. Politics
Sunday, January 6, 2012 11:37 P.M. With so much talk about the fiscal cliff and a whole bunch of other stuff I don’t understand, I’ve been reading the newspaper and watching some news stations. And as I did this, I came across several articles on various aspects of climate change, particularly with policy-making in Washington. […]
Climate Change and the Election
Sunday, November 4, 2012 ~12:00 P.M. This election season has been pretty intense from both sides. I’ve seen some outrageous, unsupported claims on Facebook from people in support of both Obama and Romney, although I have to admit, I’ve seen more ridiculous posts in support of Romney. I’ve honestly gotten to the point where I […]
A Record Low for Arctic Sea Ice
Monday, September 24, 2012 10:43 A.M. On September 16, 2012, the arctic reached a record low for sea ice cover. Now, it is finally expanding as autumn arrives, but it is still well below average. The sea ice cover this year fell to 3.41 million kilometers, which is 18% less than the previous record for […]
Mega-Millions and Global Warming
Friday, March 30, 2012 10:42 A.M. The Mega-Millions jackpot is, as of 10:43 A.M., 640 million dollars. I’ve never bought a lottery ticket, but I’m pretty tempted to do so. Even though it’s somewhat of a long shot, it definitely makes for interesting conversation material. What would you do with 640 million dollars? I don’t […]
Trends in Extreme Weather Events Due to Global Warming
Monday, March 12, 2012 1:26 P.M. Hi everybody, I recently finished writing a short essay about extreme weather events due to global warming, so I thought I’d post it here. It’s not too long or science-heavy and it took me a little over a day to write. Let me know what you think! _______________________________________ […]
A Response to the Deniers of Anthropogenic Global Warming
Tuesday, November 15, 2011 12:43 P.M. In a nationwide survey of 1,010 American adults taken in May 2011, only 47% of Americans believed in human-caused climate change. In this blog post, I will provide indisputable evidence that our climate is getting warmer, and humans are the cause. Anthropogenic global warming theory is grounded in solid […]
