New Study finds ‘evidence that the mainstream reports on anthropogenic global warming are vastly exaggerated’
Abstract Tourism scholars tend to endorse the most pessimistic assessments regarding climate change, despite the fact that it is a highly controversial scientific topic. This research note provides the balance that is missing from the overly alarmist studies on climate change and tourism. Notwithstanding the common notion in the academic tourism literature, recent research provides […]

Cornell U: Developing countries may contribute more to climate change than advanced societies by 2030
While developed countries and regions have long been culprits for Earth’s rising greenhouse gas emissions, Cornell researchers – balancing the role of aerosols along with carbons in the equation – now predict a time when developing countries will contribute more to climate change than advanced societies: 2030. Published in Environmental Research Letters (July 11), the new study […]
New paper finds only ~3.75% of atmospheric CO2 is man-made from burning of fossil fuels – Published in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
New paper finds only ~3.75% of atmospheric CO2 is man-made from burning of fossil fuels http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2014/07/new-paper-finds-only-375-of-atmospheric.html A paper published today in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics finds that only about 3.75% [15 ppm] of the CO2 in the lower atmosphere is man-made from the burning of fossil fuels, and thus, the vast remainder of the 400 […]

A flip-flop on Arctic permafrost thaws – actually a net cooling rather than a warming
A flip-flop on Arctic permafrost thaws – actually a net cooling rather than a warming http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/07/18/a-flip-flop-on-arctic-permafrost-thaws-actually-a-net-cooling-rather-than-a-warming Since we discussed permafrost pingos today, I thought this story from the University of Alaska Fairbanks was a good sidekick story. It seems there’s a silver lining in melting permafrost after all. Study: Climate-chi ooling arctic lakes soak up […]
