The coming era of unlimited — and free — clean energy
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...oming-era-of-unlimited-and-free-clean-energy/
The experts are saying the same about solar energy now. They note that after decades of development, solar power hardly supplies 1 percent of the world’s energy needs. They say that solar is inefficient, too expensive to install, and unreliable, and will fail without government subsidies. They too are wrong. Solar will be as ubiquitous as cellular phones are.

Largest Climate-Change March in History Unlikely to Convince Idiots
http://www.newyorker.com/humor/boro...change-march-history-unlikely-convince-idiots
NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) – A climate-change march that organizers claim was the largest on record is nevertheless unlikely to change the minds of idiots, a survey of America’s idiots reveals.
Despite bringing attention to a position that is embraced by more than ninety per cent of the world’s scientists, the People’s Climate March, which took place on Sunday in New York City, left a broad majority of the nation’s idiots unconvinced.
“Look, if hundreds of thousands of people want to march about something, it’s a free country,” said Carol Foyler, an idiot from Kenosha, Wisconsin. “But let me ask them something: if the climate is really getting warmer, why was it so cold up here last winter?”
Harland Dorrinson, an idiot from Hollywood, Florida, was also unmoved by the message of Sunday’s march. “What these marchers don’t realize is that the planet goes through natural cycles of heating and cooling,” he said. “Blaming people for global warming is like blaming dinosaurs for the ice age.”
Skepticism about scientists characterized many of the idiots’ remarks, including those of Tracy Klugian, of Albuquerque, New Mexico. “Those marchers are holding signs that say ‘Scientists this, scientists that,’ ” he said. “Well, how can scientists be sure that the Earth was colder thousands of years ago, when no one had invented a thermometer?”
Klugian said he was confident that, despite the impressive numbers for Sunday’s march, idiots would prevail in the ongoing climate-change debate. “At the end of the day, there are more people like us in Congress,” he said.

Scientists march on New York, and offer much more than a consensus
http://roadtoparis.info/2014/09/22/scientists-march-new-york-offer-much-consensus/
This weekend, hundreds of thousands of people marched on New York in support of action on climate change. Amongst them were a large and vocal cohort of scientists, marching under a specially organised strand of the protest, Science Stands.
Some might have hoped to see scientists marching behind a forest of hockey sticks – after that graph – but they opted for a giant chalkboard instead. Covered in graphs, charts, diagrams and calculations, it was headlined: “The ‘debate’ is OVER! The facts are in. The evidence is clear.”

"The company has a very strong view that we should make decisions in politics based on facts -- what a shock. And the facts of climate change are not in question anymore," Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt continued. "Everyone understands climate change is occurring and the people who oppose it are really hurting our children and our grandchildren and making the world a much worse place. And so we should not be aligned with such people -- they're just, they're just literally lying." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/22/google-alec-funding_n_5863416.html

Greenland Ice Sheet more vulnerable to climate change than previously thought
http://phys.org/news/2014-09-greenland-ice-sheet-vulnerable-climate.html
Bougamont M, Christoffersen P, Hubbard AL, Fitzpatrick AA, Doyle SH, Carter SP. Sensitive response of the Greenland Ice Sheet to surface melt drainage over a soft bed. Nat Commun 2014;5. http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2014/140929/ncomms6052/full/ncomms6052.html
The dynamic response of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) depends on feedbacks between surface meltwater delivery to the subglacial environment and ice flow. Recent work has highlighted an important role of hydrological processes in regulating the ice flow, but models have so far overlooked the mechanical effect of soft basal sediment. Here we use a three-dimensional model to investigate hydrological controls on a GrIS soft-bedded region. Our results demonstrate that weakening and strengthening of subglacial sediment, associated with the seasonal delivery of surface meltwater to the bed, modulates ice flow consistent with observations. We propose that sedimentary control on ice flow is a viable alternative to existing models of evolving hydrological systems, and find a strong link between the annual flow stability, and the frequency of high meltwater discharge events. Consequently, the observed GrIS resilience to enhanced melt could be compromised if runoff variability increases further with future climate warming.

Denial among physicists, part 1
http://adamsobel.org/2014/09/29/denial-upstate-part-1/
[1] I no longer use the term “skeptics” to describe those who do not accept the basic conclusion of the overwhelming majority of climate scientists that humans are causing significant global warming. A skeptic is someone who needs to see all the evidence and consider it carefully before being convinced. I do not see how an intellectually honest person can deny the reality of anthropogenic global warming after carefully considering all the evidence. The only way I can see arriving at such a position is either to be unaware of the full body of evidence (intentionally or otherwise; but if someone with a public profile on the issue is ignorant of the evidence, it has to be at least partly intentional), to deny the validity of that evidence (“climate scientists’ jobs, funding etc. depend on scaring the public about global warming, so I don’t believe what they say”), or to be unable or unwilling to use logic to draw conclusions. Taking a public position on the basis of any of these is not skepticism, it’s denial.

Climate Change (ClimChng) [Free]
by Prof. Lesley Hughes and Interviews with Tim Flannery
https://www.open2study.com/courses/climate-change
Climate change is the biggest global challenge the human race has ever faced. Our insatiable demand for energy from fossil fuels is changing the atmosphere, and in turn changing our climate. Climate change is already affecting the physical surface of the earth, the environment that provides our life support, our food supply, economy and society. These changes will accelerate over the next few decades
In this course you will explore the impacts of climate change; why we should care about them, the science that underpins our understanding and how we can fix the problem before it’s too late.

Cargo Ship Makes 1st-Ever Solo Trip Through Northwest Passage
http://www.livescience.com/48105-cargo-ship-solos-northwest-passage.html
Another Arctic milestone was reached this week when a cargo ship fortified against ice completed a solo trip through the hazardous Northwest Passage.
The MV Nunavik, owned by shipping firm Fednav and built in Japan, left Canada's Deception Bay on Sept. 19 and rounded Alaska's Point Barrow on Tuesday (Sept. 30). The Nunavik is the first cargo ship to sail through the Northwest Passage without an escort from icebreakers, Fednav said.
The polar route to the port of Bayuquan, China, is about 40 percent shorter than the route through the Panama Canal, according to Fednav. Through fuel savings, the company expects to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions during the voyage by about 1,300 metric tons (1,430 tons).

Emphasis below mine. The bull in Globull Warming is coming to light. The public is catching on. Let king Obambi attempt unilateral action on climate change that hits an already exhausted electorate in the pocket book and 2016 is gonna look even better than 2014 for Republicans. I hope we get an Republican president who rules by executive fiat so liberals can finally understand why the Constitution was written as it is. I can't wait, cause I know Obambi and he is going to make a mess of this like he does with everything else.
'Where's the global warming?' Expert says public are growing sceptical of climate change: http://www.express.co.uk/news/nature/518497/Exclusive-interview-with-Dr-Benny-Peiser
THE PUBLIC are becoming ever more sceptical of climate change as they begin to ask 'where is the global warming we were promised?', a leading scientist has claimed.

The public are more sceptical about climate change than ever before [GETTY]
This week saw the 18th anniversary since the Earth's temperature last rose - something that Dr Benny Peiser, from the Global Warming Policy Forum, says experts are struggling to understand.
He explains that we are now in the midst of a "crisis of credibility" because the global warming - and accompanied 'Doomsday' effects - that we were once warned about has not happened.
Scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) once predicted a temperature rise of 0.2 degrees per decade - but are now baffled by the fact our planet's temperature has not increased for almost two decades.
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Dr Peiser said: "What has happened is that the public has become more sceptical because they were told we are facing Doomsday, and suddenly they realise ‘Where is the warming that we were promised?’"
"They say we can predict the climate and the reality is that they can’t."
MORE CLIMATE CHANGE LIES EXPOSED HERE
Because of this so-called "global warming hiatus", Dr Peiser says climate change is not as pressing of an issue as it once was, a fact that should be embraced by the scientific community.
"Climate change used to be a top priority but it has dropped quite significantly - other issues are more important for international meetings," he said.
"The reality is that they are quite relieved in a way, and we should all be relieved that it isn’t such a big problem at present.
"We might have much more time than many people once told us."
However, the reason behind the current pause in rising temperatures remains a mystery, and there are said to be more than 30 theories attempting to decipher what caused this stability.
Some scientists suggest the heat may have gone into the ocean, but Dr Peiser remains unconvinced by this theory.
Dr Peiser is a leading expert on global warming [DR BENNY PEISER]
The public has become more sceptical because they were told we are facing Doomsday, and suddenly they realise ‘Where is the warming that we were promised?’
Dr Benny Peiser
"Something is clearly balancing out the warming effect of the CO2 [carbon dioxide]," he explained."It might be natural factors, it might be the ocean, no one knows for sure.
"It [the warming] could start anytime - and that is an indication that we don’t fully understand the climate.
"That’s a reality that most climate scientists are reluctant to admit."
A host of world leaders gathered last month to discuss the topic of global warming at the UN Climate Change Summit.
US President Barack Obama said it was an issue "that will define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other" - but Dr Peiser could not help but notice there were a few faces missing from the meeting.
A handful of countries - including China, India and Canada - did not attend the summit, something that did not surprise Dr Peiser.
Dr. Benny Peiser took part in our recent Express debate [EXPRESS]
He explained that for him, the summit reaffirmed that there is no international agreement about what to do regarding climate change.
He also suspects that the lack of attendance is due to some of the countries' growing need to continue using fossil fuels.
"That is a clear indication that reality is sinking in and the reality is that both China, India and other emerging nations have huge energy demands," he said.
"They have huge growing economies, growing populations - their energy is going to double within the next 20 years and they cannot afford to give up on conventional fossil fuels.
"That’s basically what they have told the world."
Looking to the future, Dr Peiser is adamant there is no easy solution to tackling global warming - something he does not expect to see change for a long time.
With regards to the next UN Climate Change Conference, he said that it will be all "lip service" and "business as usual".
"I’m pretty sure there will be some sort of agreement, there have always been agreements at every UN summit, but they're not worth the paper they are written on.
"They won’t be legally binding and it won’t mean that the Chinese, or the Indians, or the Brazilians, or the Russians, will cut CO2 emissions."
The continued debate on global warming comes just weeks after thousands of people gathered around the world to protest against climate change at the People's Climate March.
It is believed that over 40,000 people attended the march in London, while over 300,000 people protested in New York.

Sea Level Rise Making Floods Routine for Coastal Cities
http://www.climatecentral.org/news/coastal-flooding-us-cities-18148
Coastal American cities are sinking into saturated new realities, new analysis has confirmed. Sea level rise has given a boost to high tides, which are regularly overtopping streets, floorboards and other low-lying areas that had long existed in relatively dehydrated harmony with nearby waterfronts. The trend is projected to worsen sharply in the coming years.
A new report, released by the Union of Concerned Scientists late on Tuesday, forecasts that by 2030, at least 180 floods will strike during high tides every year in Annapolis, Md. In some cases, such flooding will occur twice in a single day, since tides come in and out about two times daily.By 2045, that’s also expected be the case in Washington, D.C., Atlantic City, N.J. and 14 other East Coast and Gulf Coast locations out of 52 analyzed by the Union of Concerned Scientists.
