Signs of a resurgence in La Nina and the potential implications on global temperatures and the upcoming winter season
In fact, there are signs right now that suggest the resurgence may already be underway in the central Pacific Ocean. The return of La Nina could have implications on global temperatures and also on the upcoming winter season of 2021-2022.…
Why the EU’s Carbon Border Tax will Fail to Stop Carbon Leakage
The EU is once again attempting to impose a carbon tax on all imports, to stop “carbon leakage”, the loss of manufacturing or other businesses relocating to lower cost countries. But a few simple economic calculations demonstrate why the EU’s plan will not stop the ongoing haemorrhage of business activity.…

Guest “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,” by David Middleton “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was……
New sunspot catalogue to improve space weather predictions
Monitoring sunspots is therefore crucial for predicting dangerous space weather events and their effects on air travelers, astronauts, and the equipment and infrastructure — both on Earth, in orbit, and on long-term space missions.…
Making clean hydrogen is hard, but researchers just solved a major hurdle
When illuminated by sunlight, the devices can efficiently oxidize water to form oxygen molecules while also generating hydrogen at a separate electrode and exhibit outstanding stability under extended operation. Because the techniques employed to create these devices are commonly used in manufacturing of semiconductor electronics, they should be easy to scale for mass production.…
Islands of Truth Emerging from the Murky Depths of “Sea Level Science”
Using only the 6 regional tide gauges with 100+ years of data, he found after subtracting subsidence effects from the +1.3 mm/year average relative sea level rise, the average absolute rate of rise computed to an astonishingly low +0.125 mm/year; with no signs of acceleration or evidence of thermal expansion.…
