Climate Change: the Fish Notice

One of the most pernicious arguments from climate deniers is that “a few degrees” doesn’t have much of an effect. After all, if you raise the temperature of the room you’re sitting in by a “mere” 1°C (1.8°F), you might not even notice.

Nature notices. The fish notice.

Sea Ice, North and South

Arctic sea ice has been in decline so long, and so far, that deniers have had to make up some truly ludicrous stories about it. They embarass themselves on the topic.

But for some time, they crowed about the actual increase of Antarctic sea ice. They rarely mentioned that its increase wasn’t as great as the Arctic decrease (or they outright lied and said it was). They also tended to add the Arctic and Antarctic extents together to form a global figure, because the Antarctic increase partly cancelled out the Arctic decrease, making it seem not so bad.

For now at least, they won’t be crowing.

Supermoon Flooding

You may recall when I posted about flooding from high tide alone, even without storm surge or rainfall. It’s because of sea level rise. No doubt. It’s getting worse. No doubt.

Global Temperature Update

NASA has just released their latest global temperature update (the latest value is shown in red):

Grass Roots

I’m going to start a grass-roots organization to raise awareness of, and especially knowledge of the truth about, climate change.

Climate Denier for EPA

Myron Ebell of the CEI is the purported pick to head Trump’s EPA transition team. Let’s not let a man who denies science in the name of profit lead the nation in environmental protection.
