f her sat a five member panel of elected officials that oversees how and where nearly every georgia resident gets their power the generation of energy using fossil fuels has become an existential threat to our safety due to the undisputed impacts of greenhouse gas emissions on our planet gray told the commission we must act now as later is way too late more than a dozen other students sat behind her awaiting their allotted three minutes in front of the georgia public service commission or psc one after another they called on the commission to reject a request from georgia power the state s largest utility to add new natural gas capacity to the grid instead they repeated at the podium the company needs to expand renewable energy and take other steps to combat climate change you can help get georgia power to take the right actions in the essential time frame said high school senior evelyn ford the last of the students to speak across two days actually you re the only five people in georgia who can ford is substantially correct though georgia s state legislature can pass laws on clean energy and the governor can issue executive orders on climate action the public service commission is the only government body with direct authority to regulate whatever georgia power does the panel sets the rates people pay for electricity and approves the utility s plans to make or buy that power and deliver it to customers according to the commission s own website very few governmental agencies have as much impact on people s lives as the psc there is a small panel of regulators in every state that holds a similar power over electricity generation and by extension an enormous segment of the united states greenhouse gas emissions that are warming the planet by setting electricity prices they also have a substantial impact on most people s lives and pocketbooks yet in georgia and elsewhere these groups known as public service or public utility commissions get little attention or scrutiny outside of energy wonk circles their hearings and documents tend to be long and jargon heavy covered in the media by a small group of specialized reporters making it hard to engage with the process this year grist and wabe will try to demystify energy regulation in georgia and beyond we ll bring you stories on not only how your power gets made but how those decisions happen and how residents who vote and pay electricity bills can get involved read more 0 comments 2024 sks weekly climate change global warming news roundup 12 posted on 24 march 2024 by

week thanks to john mason having the stamina to sit down to watch climate the movie and jotting down several pages worth of notes on friday morning we were able to quickly put together a blog post debunking the many false and misleading claims made in the film the first 42 odd minutes of this 80 minute long festival of misinformation are dedicated to the science but instead of that what one is exposed to is a veritable gish gallop of climate myths with the phrase we are told liberally scattered among them in addition to a list of the 25 myths identified by john we also checked them off on our myth rebuttal chart available for occasions like this it makes for a neat sharable graphic driving home the point of how much is wrong with the item debunked after publishing the blog post on

desmog climate disinformation database documents individuals and organisations that have helped to delay and distract the public and our elected leaders from taking needed action to reduce greenhouse gas pollution and fight global warming it s a who s who of the organised climate change denial movement in other words in martin durkin s recently released film entitled climate the movie 17 academics retired academics and bloggers were interviewed how big a proportion of them have their own page in the desmog database go on have a guess it s 76 climate change denial is like a kind of flying circus this same old carnival troupe is wheeled out time and again to spread doubt about climate science why because that s what they are good at doing with decades of combined experience under their belts more than 2 dozen long debunked myths the first 42 odd minutes of this 80 minute long festival of misinformation once the initial elevator pitch is done with are dedicated to the science but instead of that what one is exposed to is a veritable gish gallop of climate myths with the phrase we are told liberally scattered among them in order of appearance with the myth s fixed number in our database here they are code myth quick rebuttal 56 mwp medieval warm period was warmer globally averaged temperature now is higher than global temperature in medieval times 31 lia we re coming out of the little ice age scientists have determined that the factors which caused the little ice age cooling are not currently causing global warming 15 cold it s freaking cold a local cold day has nothing to do with the long term trend of increasing global temperatures 6 temp temp record is unreliable the warming trend is the same in rural and urban areas measured by thermometers and satellites 20 uhi it s urban heat island effect urban and rural regions show the same warming trend 38 troposphere satellites show no warming in the troposphere the most recent satellite data show that the earth as a whole is warming 45 pastco2 co2 was higher in the past climate has changed along with co2 levels through geological time 120 plant co2 is plant food the effects of enhanced co2 on terrestrial plants are variable and complex and dependent on numerous factors 127 trace co2 is just a trace gas many substances are dangerous even in trace amounts what really matters is the total amount of co2 in the atmosphere 11 lag co2 lags temperature co2 didn t initiate warming from past ice ages but it did amplify the warming 31 greenhouse increasing co2 has little to no effect the strong co2 effect has been observed by many different measurements 43 correlate there s no correlation between co2 and temperature there is long term correlation between co2 and global temperature other effects are short term 8 1970s ice age predicted in the 70s the vast majority of climate papers in the 1970s predicted warming 5 model models are unreliable models successfully reproduce temperatures since 1900 globally by land in the air and the ocean 2 past climate s changed before climate reacts to whatever forces it to change at the time humans are now the dominant forcing 207 uah uah atmospheric temperatures prove climate models are wrong the most likely explanation for uah data warming less than expected is that the uah data set is biased low 143 cloud clouds provide negative feedback evidence is building that net cloud feedback is likely positive and unlikely to be strongly negative 14 cosmic it s cosmic rays cosmic rays show no trend over the last 30 years have had little impact on recent global warming 191 cern cern cloud experiment proved cosmic rays are causing global warming of one out of four requirements necessary to blame global warming on cosmic rays and two of the other requirements have already failed 1 sun it s the sun in the last 35 years of global warming sun and climate have been going in opposite directions 17 1934 1934 hottest year on record 1934 was one of the hottest years in the us not globally 240 wildfires wildfires are not caused by global warming global warming worsens wildfires by creating drier conditions with more fuel for fires to spread further and faster 16 hurricane hurricanes aren t linked to global warming there is increasing evidence that hurricanes are getting stronger due to global warming 37 bear polar bear numbers are increasing polar bears are in danger of extinction as well as many other species 185 gbr great barrier reef is in good shape evidence clearly shows that both ocean warming and acidification due to human co2 emissions are

explain 2023 s huge heat anomaly we could be in uncharted territory schmidt nature perspective in general the 2023 temperature anomaly has come out of the blue revealing an unprecedented knowledge gap perhaps for the first time since about 40 years ago when satellite data began offering modellers an unparalleled real time view of earth s climate system if the anomaly does not stabilize by august a reasonable expectation based on previous el niño events then the world will be in uncharted territory it could imply that a warming planet is already fundamentally altering how the climate system operates much sooner than scientists had anticipated it could also mean that statistical inferences based on past events are less reliable than we thought adding more uncertainty to seasonal predictions of droughts and rainfall patterns why the lower stratosphere cools when the troposphere warms lin emanuel proceedings of the national academy of science s understanding the processes that control the temperature of the tropical lower stratosphere is important since this temperature dictates the concentration of stratospheric water vapor a potent greenhouse gas observational data have long shown that locally tropospheric warming is associated with stratospheric cooling we confirm that the temperature pattern in the troposphere is remarkably reflected in that of the lower stratosphere and additionally show that this relationship holds when considering trends caused by climate change we show that there is a tight coupling between the spatial pattern of tropospheric warming and stratospheric cooling our findings are interpreted using a simple theory that posits that there is a quasi balanced response of the stratosphere to heating in the troposphere seawater intrusion at the grounding line of jakobshavn isbræ greenland from terrestrial radar interferometry kim et al geophysical research letters the transition boundary between grounded glacier ice and floating glacier ice or grounding line has never been mapped in much detail on the largest fastest outlet glaciers of greenland because available satellite radar imagery does not provide short enough repeat pass data here we use a terrestrial radar interferometer which images the glacier every 2 min to map the grounding line repeatedly with differential interferometry surprisingly the glacier develops a small floating section on the south side where the grounding line migrates over considerable distances 0 5 to 2 8 km during the tidal cycle which is 10 times farther than previously expected from flotation we attribute the migration to seawater intrusions over a bed 100 800 m deeper than previously known seawater intrusions will carry sufficient ocean heat to melt basal ice vigorously a factor that has not been incorporated in modeling studies of this glacier nonlinear interactions of sea level rise and storm tide alter extreme coastal water levels how and why moftakhari et al agu advances this study analyzed the tidal data from around the globe to understand the complex interactions between tides surges and mean sea level msl fluctuations the research found that in most locations tides and non tidal residuals have changed due to variations in msl over recent decades this research proposes a conservative proxy for extreme sea level dynamics called potential maximum surge tide pmst by mid century the median pmst is projected to be 20 higher over all monitoring stations simply shifting storm tide predictions up based on project...
