Surprise! Ice is rebounding at BOTH poles — climate is more complex than we know
#Global Warming #ScienceTwo new studies show that the Earth’s climate is far more complex than often acknowledged, reminding us of the importance of pragmatic energy and climate policies.…
Forscher erklären 100'000-Jahre-Zyklus der Eiszeiten
#Global Warming #ScienceWarum es alle hunderttausend Jahre zu einer Eiszeit kommt, konnte bisher nicht komplett erklärt werden. Nun hat ein internationales Forscherteam mit Schweizer Beteiligung die Faktoren identifiziert: Neben der Sonne spielt die Wechselwirkung von Klima und Gletschern eine Rolle.…
The Underappreciated Importance of Climate Variability
#Global Warming #ScienceOne of the most pervasive misunderstandings of climate is the belief that any long-term trend in a measured climate variable indicates a change in climate, as defined by the IPCC. In practice, “long-term” is often defined to be only a few decades worth of observations.…
Oceans Giving Back a Little C02
#Global Warming #ScienceCarbon dioxide is indeed the ‘stuff of life’, underpinning photosynthesis, boosting plant growth, enhancing agricultural yields, and enabling practical applications in industry.…
Constructing Climate Catastrophism
#Global Warming #Science #UNOClimate scenarios are ridiculously opaque, as if they are designed not to be understood by intelligent people outside the small community of scholars who invent these scenarios. More people should understand how the sausage is made.…
Some History, Including About Cyclones
#Global Warming #ScienceWhen it comes to extreme weather, cyclones are top of my list. The most extreme cyclone to hit Queensland, Tropical Cyclone Mahina, was arguably the world’s most intense with a central pressure recorded at 880 hectopascals, a 12-metre storm surge, and 300 kilometre per hour winds.…
Climate Misinformation from the United Nations
#Global Warming #ScienceLapses of scientific integrity in climate science have become normalized. I no longer expect the community to care about obvious and egregious problems in climate science, even when documented in the peer reviewed literature.…
Marc Andreessen on AI, Tech, Censorship, and Dining with Trump
#Science #Trump #U.S.A.It’s morning in America, so I’m very happy. I think the analogy for what’s happening right now is 1980—the transition from the ’70s to the ’80s and the Carter-Reagan race.…
AI Can’t Teach AI New Tricks
#Science #EconomyAnthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicts that “powerful AI” will surpass human intelligence in many areas by 2026. OpenAI claims its latest models “ They can reason through complex tasks and solve harder problems.” Thinking? Reasoning? Will AI become humanlike? Conscious?…
This AI Pioneer Thinks AI Is Dumber Than a Cat
