There is nothing we can do about it, except to build dikes and sea walls a little bit higher.

Of all known and imagined consequences of climate change, many people fear sea-level rise most. But efforts to determine what causes seas to rise are marred by poor data and disagreements about methodology. The noted oceanographer Walter Munk referred to sea-level rise as an “enigma”; it has also been called a riddle and a puzzle.
It is generally thought that sea-level rise accelerates mainly by thermal ..read more

It will be hard to notice when President Trump does something worthy of hysteria if everything he does is greeted with hysteria. Take claims that he’s laying siege to the alleged chastity of climate scie ..read more

Keeping Cool About Hot Temperatures Last year was warmer by 0.04 Celsius, but it was also an El Niño year.
Updated Jan. 19, 2017 8:21 p.m. ET THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
By now you’ve seen the headline: 2016 was the hottest year on record. The news has been paired with predictions of civilization’s imminent demise. But a closer look at the evidence reveals that the political heat is overwrought—and there’s still no reason to re-engineer the global economy to mitigate small climate fluctuations.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced this week that las ..read more

Climate Change Drivers
by Dan Pangburn, MSME
Summary
Thermalization and the complete dominance of water vapor in reverse-thermalization explain why atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) has no significant effect on climate. Reported average global temperature (AGT) since before 1900 is accurately (98% match with measured trend) explained by a combination of ocean cycles, sunspot number anomaly time-integral and increased atmospheric water vapor.
Introduction
The only way that energy can significantly leave earth is by thermal radiation. Only solid or liquid bodies and greenhouse gases (gh ..read more

Speaking of fake news, the political scientists at the EPA have rewritten the conclusion of a report in order to cast doubt on the safety of hydraulic fracturing. Consider this EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy’s parting gift to Donald Trump.
Last week the EPA issued the final ..read more

Republican pols and their supporters are accustomed to biased media coverage from a Washington press corps dominated by liberals, but there’s reason to believe that Donald Trump could have it worse than his GOP predecessors.
We are told that Mr. Trump’s cabinet picks pose threats to the country ranging from merely grave to existential. Businessman Andy Puzde ..read more

IMHO all the "math & visual information" necessary to completely understand why there is only a "true" gravito/thermal GHE, and why that gravito/thermal GHE and Arrhenius "radiative GHE" are just the dichotomy of Y/N ways anyone can rightly use to discuss "the GHE" as a "local and total thermo/dynamic equilibrium, which is what the "GHE" really is ..read more
