Latest results from RSS for global temperature in the lower atmosphere show a decline in December 2008 to 0.174 from 0.216 in the previous month. Two early leaders in the ‘Guess the monthly global temperatures’ competition have emerged: CoRev and Jan Pompe. Below are the questions so-far, and all the punters with [...]

Starting this post is a poll of readers view’s on a CO2 emissions target for Australia, announced recently by the Prime Minister. Please take a moment to respond, before moving on to the rest of the post.

Is a 5pc reduction in CO2 emissions too low or too high a target?

What affects global warming? We have been developing experiments to examine what affects greenhouse warming. To counter intuitive certitude, I have asked people to guess the results of simple experiments before they are done. Finally, we’ll evaluate the relevance to stratospheric and tropospheric forcing if at all.

A number of readers have expressed some knowledge of the greenhouse effect and how it works. Here is a quiz to give the punters an opportunity to show they know what they are talking about.

I am starting to read a few posts on bulletin boards about this experiment, and some points need to be made clearly.
1. The main purpose of the experiment is to verify that maximum G=1.5, the greenhouse factor, not to replicate the conditions in the real atmosphere. That is, it is to test the Su=3OLR/2 [...]

Today I repeated the greenhouse experiment reported yesterday. The weather conditions were more favorable, being still and sunny in the initial period, but became more thermally towards the end. I also replaced the plastic flour container with a solid glass jar. Whereas yesterday the temperatures inside the sealed jar only reached 66% of [...]

Here is a simple science experiment you can try at home to disprove one of the main aspects of global warming. One of the main assumptions of anthropogenic global warming (AGW) is that the temperature will continue to increase as the opacity of the atmosphere increases due to carbon dioxide gas (CO2). We [...]

Up or down? UAH (University of Alabama Huntsville) usually comes out around this time of the month on the first entry of the last line of this file.
UAH Global Temperature Anomaly jumped up in September 2008 (from Anthony Watts). The results for October 2008 are below — largely unchanged.
