The Neoglacial Period

Solar variability did contribute to climate change over the past 1,000 years.

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.

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”
