The Social Science Explaining Why More Climate Science Hasnt Led to Greenhouse Action
2013-10-06 17:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Earlier this year, I took part in a fast-paced tour of the science of climate change at the Seattle Science Festival. I posted on the event at the time, but the Pacific Science Center has uploaded better video versions. Richard Alley of Penn State talked about the hunt for climate zombies and explained why climate science is solid. Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research dug into the physical science underpinning knowledge of the human role in global warming. My job was...

Climate change is real and denial is not about the science

San Antonio Express: A new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change confirms what we already know. First, the climate system is definitely warming. Second, humans are now a dominant driver of the climate and are very likely to be responsible for most of the recent warming we have experienced. And future warming over the 21st century will likely be several degrees. While a few degrees may not sound like a lot of warming, changes in the global average temperature this large have, in the past, been...
As shutdown continues, concerns mount over its impact on climate science

ClimateWire: In the era of the Internet, the government's decision to shut down access to websites and data sets has made research difficult for many weather and climate researchers. Take Bruce Vaughn, who runs a climate science lab at the University of Colorado, Boulder. His lab analyzes samples of greenhouse gases collected from around the world by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. But when the shutdown hit Tuesday, he was faced with losing access to the NOAA computers he needs to do...

Let's be honest the global warming debate isn't about science

Guardian: The 2013 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report states with 95 percent confidence that humans have caused most, and probably all of the rapid global warming over the past 60 years. Approximately 97 percent of climate experts and peer-reviewed climate science studies agree. There are of course open questions yet to be answered by climate scientists precisely how sensitive the climate is to the increased greenhouse effect, for example. But even in a best case, low sensitivity...
