Climate Is Not Weather – but the two are becoming more linked

Weather and climate are two different things which is why arguments like “Climate change can’t be real because it still snows” are terribly flawed and incorrect.

The climate crisis has advanced so much that it is showing up in our general weather patterns.

Geoengineering To Save The Planet – radical ideas to buy time in the climate crisis

The icecaps are melting and that’s a major problem for a variety of reasons. One being the rising sea levels but another being that losing the reflective poles will make our planet warmer. Some people want to save the ice by geoengineering. Most of their ideas aren’t really feasible but man are they cool.

Earth Stores Vast Amounts of Carbon – but the climate crisis is still real

As you know, there’s already carbon in the Earth. It’s part of the make up of the planet and natural events (like volcanoes) release it back into the air and as it turns out, there’s A LOT of carbon below the surface of the world but the planet is really good about regulating the natural flow. Our actions are disrupting that.

Mapping the Greenhouse Gases – new satellite will give new view of atmosphere

We’ll have a new idea of the planet’s greenhouse effect in the coming years. A new satellite is being launched by Europe that will be able to look at the long wavelength portion of the electromagnetic spectrum which may lead to new data about our warming planet.
