The FAA and space tourism industry leaders say no, but scientists say the accumulation of black carbon in the stratosphere may have disastrous results. Why? Well, space tourism companies, like Virgin Galactic, are able to tout very low CO2 emissions,
Principia-Scientific.org is a site aimed at restoring legitimate scientific principles to the world.
A Comparative Climatology Symposium held at NASA Headquarters on May 7 focused on new approaches to climate research by highlighting the similarities and contrasts between the environments of the rocky worlds Venus, Earth, Mars and Saturn’s smoggy...
ATMOSPHERIC concentrations of carbon dioxide have broken the 400 parts per million level at several stations of the World Meteorological Organisation across the world, heightening the need for radical action to arrest emissions growth and limit clima
Of more than 4,000 academic papers published over 20 years, 97.1% agreed that climate change is anthropogenic
Desertification is a fancy word for land that is turning to desert,” begins Allan Savory in this quietly powerful talk. And it's happening to about two-thirds of the world’s grasslands, accelerating climate change and causing traditional grazing soci
British billionaire Richard Branson said Monday that rocket-powered space tourism flights by his firm Virgin Galactic would have only a minor impact on climate change.
A new study published in the current issue of Science suggests that an ice-free Arctic may very well become a reality in the near future.
While some regions have a history of ground-based operational measurements of precipitation, poor spatial and temporal sampling over land as well as over the ocean, is the globally prevalent condition. The spatial extent and temporal resolution of gr
Satellite images from every year since 1984 show the march of human progress—and the retreat of nature.
The producer (Australia’s video pundit Topher Field) has 4 weeks (28 days) to get it funded in IndieGoGo. 50 to 1 is a video/web/interview project which shows beyond doubt that we are better off ADAPTING to climate change than we are trying to 'stop'
NASA's newest rover won't be exploring another planet, but will take a look at part of our own. Named Grover, the rover will explore Greenland's ice sheets to better understand how they form, and how quickly they may be melting.

In harsh arctic regions, it's very tough to get good data while on the ground. Researchers at the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS) use aircraft including unmanned UAV drones and elegant new software modelling to watch changes in ice.
A newly identified negative feedback loop could counteract global warming, by a teeny, tiny amount.
China is fast becoming a world leader in the fight against climate change.
Despite the heated rhetoric from the Obama administration and environmental groups about the urgency of global warming, climate scientists have begun to come to terms with the lack of evidence of catastrophic global warming over the last decade.
A recent NASA report throws the space agency into conflict with its climatologists after new NASA measurements prove that carbon dioxide acts as a coolant in Earth's atmosphere.
You don't even need Congress to enact meaningful reform.
Like Gore, Pachauri has exploited his climate crusading to acquire a global portfolio of business investments and relationships that stand to reap billions of dollars from IPCC policies. Pachauri, an Indian engineer with a Ph.D in economics, has been
Professor Ian Hall, School of Earth and Ocean Sciences, added: "Our study finds large changes in chemical stratification of the Southern Ocean not only across the shifts from ice ages to warm interglacial conditions, but also on more rapid, millenni
Millions of people could become destitute in Africa and Asia as staple foods more than double in price by 2050 as a result of extreme temperatures, floods and droughts that will transform the way the world farms.
Summer ice in the Antarctic is melting 10 times quicker than it was 600 years ago, with the most rapid melt occurring in the last 50 years, a joint Australian-British study showed Monday.
In January of 1979, a New York Times article was headlined: “Experts Tell How Antarctic Ice Could Cause Widespread Floods.” The abstract in the Times archives says: “If the West Antarctic ice sheet slips into the sea, as some glaciologists believe is
For scientists studying summer sea ice in the Arctic, it’s not a question of “if” there will be nearly ice-free summers, but “when.” And two scientists say that “when” is sooner than many thought — before 2050 and possibly within the next decade or t
This uptick became the focus of considerable excitement, as well as scrutiny. One of the first questions was how it was derived. Marcott had finished his PhD thesis at Oregon State University in 2011 and his dissertation is online. The Science paper
The new maximum -5.82 million square miles (15.09 million square kilometers)- is in line with a continuing trend in declining winter Arctic sea ice extent: nine of the ten smallest recorded maximums have occurred during the last decade. The 2013 wint
The effects of global warming will persist for hundreds of years. What are our responsibilities and duties today to help safeguard the distant future? That is the question ethicists are now asking.
Summers in the northern hemisphere are now warmer than at any period in six centuries, according to climate research published on Wednesday in the science journal Nature.
Several major companies issued a joint call Wednesday for the United States to enact legislation to battle climate change, saying that the issue was critical to their businesses.
