Death Valley Takes The Record For Hottest Ever Recorded Land Surface Temperature

By

A temperature reading of 134 degrees Fahrenheit in Death Valley, California, during the summer of 1913 is now being recognized as the hottest land surface temperature ever recorded. Even though that reading was made 99 years ago, it is only just now being recognized by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) as the highest extreme temperature […]

Starlight and "Air Glow" Reveal the Nighttime Cloudy Sky from Space

By

Scientists are excited over an inadvertent discovery using instruments aboard the new Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership, or Suomi NPP, a joint venture between NASA and NOAA. The satellite is actually sensitive enough to detect clouds and other objects in the nighttime sky from space, what to the human eye would simply be complete darkness. Such a discovery

Brilliant Half Million Mile Wide Sun 'Whip' Seen From Space

By

Filmed by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory this new video shows a dramatic filament eruption that occurred on August 31st. Shot in the energy range of extreme ultraviolet light, the video shows a filament collapsing and exploding in brilliant style. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEYS9LFuuyg&feature=youtube_gdata_player “The NOAA spaceweather prediction center estimates the resulting cloud of radiation reached the Earth on

Aerosols From Small Volcanic Eruptions Can Influence Global Climate

By

  An international team of researchers has just discovered that aerosols even from comparatively small volcanic eruptions can make it into the high atmosphere when assisted by weather systems such as monsoons. Once in the high atmosphere, aerosols are capable of affecting global temperatures for a short time. If they don’t make into into the

‘Virtually’ Certain Effect of Human-Caused ‘Climate Change Is Observable in Arctic Sea Ice Already Today’ (Study)

By

  Here’s one more huge repost of the day. This one comes from the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology via (Climate Progress). Quick summary? Humans are warming the Earth. Yeah, we knew that, but scientists have just added the 10,000th piece of evidence (figuratively speaking) with a study on Arctic sea ice loss. Here’s more in

Forbes & Conservation Hawks Lay Top Commentary on "Heartland-Gate" & Anthony Watts of WattsUpWithThat

By

  Joe Romm has a wonderful series going on the massive (seriously massive) fallout from the Heartland Institute’s recent (and ongoing) stint equating people who understand climate change is happening to mass murderers. His Day 5 post is, in my humble opinion, a must-read, so I’m reposting it in full here (everything that follows is

113° — Hottest US April Temperature on Record (in Death Valley)

By

All-time heat records for the month of April were set at 56 stations April 21 – 23, including at seven major cities. Image taken from wunderground’s new extremes page. Yeah, I don’t think they call it “Death Valley” for nothing, and it certainly isn’t called “global warming” for nothing.  The world is getting hotter and
