Glossary of Terms: P
Its main identifying traits are a poorly decomposed organic layer, an eluviated A horizon, and a B horizon with illuviated organic matter, aluminum, and iron. All of the sugar produced in the photosynthetic cells of plants and other organisms is derived from the initial chemical combining of carbon dioxide and water with sunlight
Jeff Masters About Bob Henson Flying into Hurricane Hugo Support hurricane relief to underserved communities How to start your own blog, and add blog images and links Dr. A glory is an optical diffraction effect consisting of concentric rings of color centered about the shadow of an observer's head, located on a cloud of water drops
Volcanic Gases and Their Effects
It also causes acid rain downwind from volcanoes because HCl is extremely soluble in condensing water droplets and it is a very "strong acid" (it dissociates extensively to give H+ ions in the droplets). At low concentrations it can irritate the eyes and acts as a depressant; at high concentrations it can cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract and, during long exposure, pulmonary edema
Real love is a complex of inner states of mind that result in behaviors which lead to using power only to enhance the wellbeing of all members of humanity. Climate denial can be unconscious For at least a century, psychoanalysis has taught us that we might be consciously thinking and saying one thing, but unconsciously doing another
The eastern and western approaches have become reliably ice-free in summer under historical climatic conditions, whereas in the central part summer sea ice has been persistent. Simply stated, West and East Antarctica are just too freaking cold for any melting to happen, with the exception of coastal areas that already are affected by moderate maritime temperatures
Still liquid water on or near the surface is not likely, and the thickness of that ice shell and temperatures makes in situ sampling of the brine quite unlikely for a very long time, if ever. Much of the oil off Brazil, and the counterparts offshore west Africa is from organic rich rocks deposited in the restricted basins formed during the early separation of the continents
Why worry in an age when GPS has made compasses obsolete? Well, the magnetic field deflects particle storms and cosmic rays from the sun, as well as even more energetic subatomic particles from deep space. David Bennett of Notre Dame University in Indiana managed to spot two black holes recently by the way they distorted and amplified the light of ordinary, more distant stars
White House advisor on weather modification to President Eisenhower reported the DoD was studying ways to manipulate electrical charges of the earth and sky in order to manipulate the weather for purposes of national defense. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) released satellite evidence that perennial Arctic ice cover, as of February, rests on less than 30 percent of the ocean
The real victory from this action is that it was a signal to Shell and the world that when you put people and the planet at risk, we will stand up and fight back. I am filled with a great sense of pride that I was able to be part of a wonderful group of activists that challenged corporate power and took action against Shell and its Arctic drilling plans
The Giant Methane Monster Is Lurking
socalpa Ice2sea 2013 (4 years 4 countries) the best science to date on contribution of Ice melt to sea level rise projects 3.5cm to 36.8cm rise by 2100. If your saying there has been a warming trend in the last 30,000 years then yes, since the end of the last Ice age, but it has taken 30,000 years to get warm enough for the ice to retreat, one day it will come back again, in 30 or 40 thousand years
John Finn says: September 8, 2012 at 5:36 am Given how widely temperatures can vary between Summer and Winter, I think such a statement requires analytical evidence. John W says: September 7, 2012 at 11:50 am If what you say is true in the above statement, then why do you bother to post comments here? Because as a tax-payer funded scientist I feel I have an obligation to give back something, and what better than correct science and patient education of the sheep that have lost their way
Arctic News
http://arctic-news.blogspot.com/Currently, methane levels are high, especially north of Greenland, as illustrated by the image below showing that on July 10, 2015 (am), levels as high as 2416 parts per billion were recorded at 6,041 m (19,820 ft) altitude, while mean methane levels also reached 1831 parts per billion at this altitude. 2 years ago Feebates Implementation of Feebates - *FEEBATES* As discussed at the post An Effective and Comprehensive Climate Plan, feebates are the best way to combat climate change
Arctic Sea Ice Could be Heading for a New Low - ImaGeo
Further, scientists are largely convinced that Antarctic sea ice expansion has been caused by shifts in prevailing winds around the continent, shifts related to climate change. But as a layperson with a lifelong interest in science trying to keep up with an increasingly complicated world, I do appreciate the work of folks trying to explain it all
Is Antarctica losing or gaining ice?
This contrasts with the situation in the Arctic where skeptics got excited earlier this year about the extent coming CLOSE to the long term average for the first time in years. This is discussed in great detail elsewhere on this site: Does ocean cooling disprove global warming? In particular, whether or not you accept the more recent analyses of ARGO showing that the perceived 2003-2006 "cooling" was an artifact, we're talking here specifically about warming of the Southern Ocean around Antarctica
In addition to its role as a natural greenhouse gas, water vapor also affects the temperature of the planet because clouds form when excess water vapor in the atmosphere condenses to form ice and water droplets and precipitation. This can also be thought of as the time that it takes after the human-caused emission of a gas for the concentrations of that gas in the atmosphere to return to natural levels
I then follow through by inserting those observations into a coherent climate overview which accounts for a plethora of other observations as well and renders any need for a CO2 based explanation redundant. This is the 21st new century paradigm shift in climate science about which I first published a paper and article well over two years ago, and then my book
i, ii, and iii Important factors that contribute to smog formation in the Los Angeles basin include which of the following? Ample summer sunshine Sea-level elevation High concentration of automobiles I only III only I and III only II and III only I, II and III Which of the following is an appropriate remediation strategy for removing radon gas from the home? Use filtered water for drinking and bathing. i, ii, and iii Which of the following best explains why it is predicted that ozone depletion over the poles will be at its worst between 2010 and 2019? Projected global warming from carbon dioxide emissions is expected to reach a peak during those years
