A paper appeared in Nature Geoscience describing yet another temperature reconstruction. But this one has a unique twist. There are some fascinating insights here about how regions of the globe can at times vary in unison and at other times go off in their own direction.
White reflective roofing certainly has its place, which is primarily in southern climates. But as a green solution in northern states, it's just not that cool.
Clearly folks don't work so well when it gets hot and humid. So bottom line: labor productivity is on a downward spiral.
Could the heat coming from your refrigerator be contributing to global warming? Anyone who has given a public lecture on climate change has almost ce...
In the kind of sink-or-swim situation that climate change presents for species, we often focus on the losers. Today we look at an unlikely winner.
All countries utilize a mixture of historical and metric units, but the United States is especially multicultural in this area. A simple trip to the grocery store might find you purchasing a two-liter container of a soft drink, a gallon of milk and a pound of beef.

A special report from the International Energy Agency released in advance of the World Energy Outlook 2011 examines how ramping up natural gas would impact energy and climate up to 2035.
Of all the geoengineering ideas, the one often cited as the simplest, most obvious one, the one we should get started on right away is painting roofs white -- after all how can that not help? How indeed.

In what follows, I will offer a brief survey of the economics of climate change or, more precisely, the economics of lessening climate change. I'll tr...
According to the authors of a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences there is a definite possibility that global warming could raise temperatures enough to be fatal to humans.
Recent events have given climate science a black eye, but nowhere near the knockout punch depicted in the media. E-mails documenting overly partisan b...
The fact that bunches of climate deniers have used the recent weather to sow seeds of doubt about climate change is not very surprising, but Donald Trump? What happened?
Apparently the National Review, none too pleased about climate legislation rattling around Congress, has joined the "global cooling brigade."
Co-written by Bill Chameides and Prasad KasibhatlaThe climate deniers have a new argument: don't pass climate legislation because it doesn't cut emiss...

You don't have to search too hard to find a skeptic's blog proclaiming that global warming "stopped" in 1998.
