Devastating figures on the extraordinary physical requirements of Big Wind and Big Sun. "At best, the renewable energy sector would not only be the largest consumer of its own energy output, but encompass the bulk of the British economy." spectator.co.uk/article/the-te…

This is really good jacobin.com/2024/08/climat…

Another big 'oops'

A study shows that 24 Large Language Models (such as ChatGPT) tested all have a left-wing political bias, and that artificial intelligences are easy to steer politically through Supervised Fine-Tuning. The social implications are substantial. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Good explainer by Dr. Matthew M. Wielicki on the claim by UN Chief that "the oceans are overflowing" irrationalfear.substack.com/p/global-shore…

This is very good, definitely worth reading

A new perspective on the residence time of CO2 in the atmosphere: 4 yrs. By Demitris Koutsoyiannis mdpi.com/2073-4441/16/1…

This looks important. Maybe someone can send this to the IPCC

The dark side of environmental activism: machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism.

Interesting, makes rather a mockery of concerns about fossil-fueled ocean acidification

The surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet gained 370 billion tons of ice over the past twelve months, which is right at the 1981-2010 mean. #ClimateScam polarportal.dk/fileadmin/pola…

Important new paper. No, the AMOC is not weakening; assertions of weakening AMOC are an artifact of a spurious trend in the data from a secular trend in geomagnetic field. Note: collapse of the AMOC is a highly touted climate "tipping point" nature.com/articles/s4146…

John, this is pretty interesting. Do you have a source for this? Thanks

So painful and unnecessary. I love the Joshua trees in NV and CA desert

This article by Andrea Saltelli provides much food for thought on the wisdom of investing substantial resources in developing Digital Twins of the Earth rogerpielkejr.substack.com/p/digital-twin…

No surprise that many academics couldn't abide public scrutiny or figure out how to ignore irrelevant trolls. Those of us academics who stayed on twitter have benefitted immensely from a broad reach and exchange of ideas.

New study: Cloud-induced solar radiation forcing, not CO2, explains 2000-2022 warming. "Earth’s energy imbalance has doubled...to 1.0 ±0.2 W/m² during the past decade. The increase is the result of a 0.9 ±0.3 W/m² increase absorbed solar radiation (ASR)" link.springer.com/content/pdf/10…
