Al Gore’s Apocalyptic Fantasy Lecture at Rice University
As promised, I attended Al Gore’s climate change lecture at Rice University last night. Rice University is one of the most beautiful university campuses I’ve ever seen, so it was a delight to see it again. The architecture is outstanding, and the buildings are placed in a garden-like setting. It was lovely to walk fromContinue reading “Al Gore’s Apocalyptic Fantasy Lecture at Rice University”

Preparing for Al Gore’s Lecture at Rice University
By Andy May I have a ticket to Al Gore’s global warming lecture at Rice University on October 23 and plan to attend, I’m very curious about what he will say. The announcement says he will take questions, so I’ve scoured his web site to get ideas for a question should I have the opportunity.

University of Chicago Air Quality-Life Index
By Andy May The University of Chicago Energy Policy Institute has come up with a new measure of air pollution they call the Air Quality-Life Index or AQLI. It uses particulate pollution concentrations to compute an index that correlates well with expected life expectancy. Particulate concentrations <10 μm (PM10) and <2.5 μm (P2.5) are utilizedContinue reading “University of Chicago Air Quality-Life Index”

Coral Reefs, Temperature and Ocean pH
By Andy May Georgiou, et al. 2015 have reported that coral reefs in the Australian Great Barrier Reef, near Heron Island, are insensitive to ocean pH changes.

HADCRU Power and Temperature
By Andy May Generally, it is agreed that the Earth’s top-of-atmosphere (TOA) energy budget balances to within the margin of error of the estimates (see Kiehl and Trenberth, 1997). The incoming energy, after subtracting reflected energy, is thought to be roughly 239 W/m2 which matches, within the margin of error, the outgoing energy of roughlyContinue reading “HADCRU Power and Temperature”

The Effects of the Bray Climate and Solar Cycle
By Andy May Javier has posted three new essays on the Bray climate and solar cycle on Judith Curry’s web site. Part A is here, part B is here and Part C is here. In these posts, he lays out the evidence, in some detail, for the climate cycle and the associated solar cycle. HereContinue reading “The Effects of the Bray Climate and Solar Cycle”
