Open access notables A survey of interventions to actively conserve the frozen North, van Wijngaarden et al., Climatic Change: The frozen elements of the high North are thawing as the region warms much faster than the global mean. The dangers of sea level rise due to melting glacier ice, increased concentrations of greenhouse gases from thawing permafrost, and alterations in the key high latitude physical systems spurred many authors, and more recently international agencies and supra-state actors, to investigate “emergency measures” that might help conserve the frozen North. However, the efficacy and feasibility of many of these ideas remains high

Climate - the Movie: a hot mess of (c)old myths!

23 March 2024 @ 3:26 pm

The Desmog Climate Disinformation Database documents, "individuals and organisations that have helped to delay and distract the public and our elected leaders from taking needed action to reduce greenhouse gas pollution and fight global warming." It's a who's who of the organised climate change denial movement, in other words. In Martin Durkin's recently released film, entitled, 'Climate - the Movie', 17 academics, retired academics and bloggers were interviewed. How big a proportion of them have their own page in the DeSmog database? Go on, have a guess. It's 76%. Climate change denial is like a kind of flying circus. This same old carnival troupe is wheeled out time and again to spread doubt about climate science. Why? Because that's what they are good at doing, with decades of combined experience under their belts. More than 2 dozen long-debunked myths The first 42-odd

Climate Adam: Could the Amazon Rainforest Collapse?

20 March 2024 @ 3:06 pm

This video includes conclusions of the creator climate scientist Dr. Adam Levy. It is presented to our readers as an informed perspective. Please see video description for references (if any). The Amazon Rainforest is a unique ecosystem on our planet - providing home to incredible wildlife and hundreds of indigenous native communities. But the rainforest is under threat - whether from the catastrophe of climate change or the devastation of deforestation. And as the climate continues to change, scientists are increasingly concerned that the rainforest could pass a tipping point. Now, breakthrough research shows us not only how at risk the Amazon is, but how fighting to save the rainforest would also boost the local economy. So, which future will we choose for the Amazon Rainforest? Support ClimateAdam on patreon: https://patreon.c
