Holocene Glacier Records
Recent glacial records do not support the idea of anthropogenic global warming.
Holocene Warming
It is highly unlikely that today is the warmest Earth has been in the past 6,800-7,800 years or that today’s warming is unprecedented.
Re-evaluating the Concern of Climate Change
By Andy May I’ve just been made aware of a paper critical of the “consensus” view that man-made climate change is dangerous. It is by Ashutosh Sharma, Vinit Vithalrai Shenvi, and Mohit Sain of the MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology in India (or MSRIT) (Sharma et al., 2024). It was published just two months beforeContinue reading “Re-evaluating the Concern of Climate Change”
The Cost of Wind and Solar Power Backup
Wind and solar are a burden on the Texas grid, not a productive addition.
Weather Reanalysis Models
Weather reanalysis models, like MERRA-2 and ERA5, are not observations.

R Programming tips to process IGRA2 Radiosonde data
By Andy May In the last two posts (here and here) I showed how to read, plot, and map IGRA2 data. In this post I will discuss how to efficiently process large R data frames and lists to compute useful variables. One of the more difficult things to do in R is to write readableContinue reading “R Programming tips to process IGRA2 Radiosonde data”
