Unforced Variations: Dec 2024

30 Nov 2024 by group

This month’s open thread on *climate* topics. Obviously, last month’s events lent themselves to broader discussions, but this month (and going forward), we remind you that comments have to be climate-related.

Note too that there are plenty of dying websites where you can troll to your heart’s content and post tedious partisan talking points, but here they will be unceremoniously deleted. Similarly, self-indulgent and repetitive comments to make the point that everyone is an deluded idiot except you, will also be binned.

Be substantive, be relevant, be concise, and most of all, be nice.

This month’s open thread on climate change topics. How are we in November already? And why is it still so warm… ?

Anyway, please stay on topic and avoid insulting other commenters.

Unforced Variations: May 2024

30 Apr 2024 by group

This month’s open thread on climate topics. Many eyes will be focused on whether April temperatures will be the 11th month in row of records…

Note that we have updated the data and figures from the Nenana Ice Classic and Dawson City river ice break up pools (the nominal 13th and 5th earliest break-ups (or 15th and 4th, w.r.t. to the vernal equinox) in their respective records)).

And a quick note about moderation: If your comment is a personal attack on another commenter instead of a substantive argument, it will just be deleted. As will your subsequent complaints. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

This month’s open thread on climate topics. Lots more discussion about 2023, aerosols, heat content and imbalances to come I expect…

Note, comments should be substantive even if you are arguing with who you perceive to be the worst person in the world. Comments that are mainly personal attacks will just get deleted.

The month’s open thread on climate topics. More record monthly warmth, but only the second lowest Antarctic sea ice though (growing since 2023!).
