I’ve tried to stay away from discussing GCMs where my knowledge is limited, but everyone seems to want to discuss them, so, against my better judgement, I’m posting up some thoughts. asked some people at AGU about whether GCMs could model getting into and getting out of ice ages. In some treatments, the presence or […]
Overpeck gave the Bjerknes Lecture at AGU, modestly entitled “Anticipating the Big Impacts of Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide Increases”. It was in the largest forum — about 1000 people were there. The room was filled to overflowing and you simply could not get in if you were late.
The size of the AGU convention is really daunting. Up to Thursday, there were 11,903 attendees. But that doesn’t really portray the size of the presentation effort. Most of those attendees are also presenters. I didn’t see a total of the number of oral and poster presentations, although it would be readily available from AGU. […]
Update: a new heavily-edited version sent to me this a.m. by Ross, edited somewhat through the day here. Ross to the rescue. Here’s a draft Powerpoint presentation for AGU. As with most first drafts, it’s pretty uneven. The topic of the session is variability, so I’ve spent the first part of the presentation on that. […]

American Thanksgiving weekend has been very black here. On Sunday evening, our 2 year old grandson, a bright, handsome and active child with a mass of curly blond […]
Some of you may have noticed how surprisingly high climateaudit ranks in google searches in topics not obviously connected to us. I did a google on "full true plain disclosure press release" and, lo and behold, there was CA at the top of the list. Here are few other rankings.
Spence has drawn attention to Hans von Storch’s comment at Roger Peilke’s, giving his take on the hockey stick debate here: The debate about the hockeystick is techically not really relevant. We have achived our main goal, namely that the premature claims that the issue of millennial temperature reconstructions was mostly solved have been broadly […]
The U.S. Climate Change Science Program Workshop was the first such workshop that I’d been to. Sometimes the anthropology is as interesting as anything else.
I will write up some notes on the U.S. Climate Change Science Workshop, but I’d like to post up some information on a couple of interesting reports in the past few days on archaeological discoveries in a receding glacier on a high Swiss pass towards Italy, sent in by a reader. Glacier retreat in the […]
I apologize for the interruption. The blog hit its storage maximum and it took a while to diagnose that this was causing the problem . There were then problems restoring which I won’t elaborate now, all of which was exacerbated by slow turn times from the hosting company. Some comments may not have survived the […]
