Server Pointing

CA may have gone down for some of you. (It hasn’t for me.) We think that we’ve fixed the problem which was due to DNS pointing.

Record Snow in Toronto

The National Post reports: A winter storm dumped more than 30 centimetres of snow on the Toronto area yesterday, with some parts of southern Ontario receiving as many as 50 centimetres of snow. Toronto usually receives approximately 30 cm of snow during the entire month of December. Yesterday’s snowfall likely trumped the previous record of […]

Spotting Weather Stations in SFO

San Francisco’s official weather stations, new and old locations are in this photo – can you find them? Last Thursday evening I had the pleasure of meeting up with Steve McIntyre, Steve Mosher, and “jeez” (who lives in San Francisco, and currently wishes to remain anonymous) from Climate Audit. We had dinner at Umbria in […]

AGU Day 2

A few notes before I lose track of today’s event. Stephen Schwartz’ presentation was essentially a re-statement of recent publicized JGR paper with some interesting additional commentary. Schwartz’ recent paper attempted to unpack the almost definitional equation: He then showed the IPCC diagram summarizing forcings, observing the change from IPCC TAR in forcing estimates in […]

See climateaudit.org/pdf/agu07.* for the two PPTs. AGU tends to be exhausting. Plus I’ve got a reasonably full social […]

Within the past two days users have found themselves blocked from their own sites while using recent versions of Bad Behavior. A third party blacklist which Bad Behavior queries recently began sending false […]

Tiny Tim Storms

David Smith, a regular commenter on hurricanes, writes. Tiny Tim is a Charles Dickens character. Tiny was a young lad, small, very weak, in a struggle to survive and of little notice in the hustle-bustle streets of London. Later, of course, his fortunes improved and he and Scrooge became “part of the record” of Victorian […]

CO2 Levels

Leif Svalgard writes: In 2006 less CO2 was added to the atmosphere than in 1983. In 1980 more CO2 was added to the atmosphere than in 2004. Why is that? I’m sure that the world’s human population has increased its output of CO2 significantly since the 1980s. Where did it go? Why does the growth […]
