In case you don’t believe the same equations govern motion in the atmosphere and the ocean.

Climate models have been shown to make pretty accurate long-term predictions, see for example carbonbrief.org/guest-post-t…

Guest post: The 50th anniversary of a remarkable global-warming prediction - Carbon Brief

Today marks the 50th anniversary of a remarkable research paper that discussed some of the key concepts involved in human-caused global warming.

Under none of the 82 scenarios @ClimateInstit ran is Canada a climate change winner. The impacts of climate change are deepening, driving widespread cost mounting in time. Reducing global emissions and adapting will avoid the worst costs yet to come. climateinstitute.ca/reports/…

1822: Joseph Fourier suggested the atmosphere’s role in retaining heat was like a greenhouse 1859: Eunice Foote suggested CO₂ was the main greenhouse gas 1861: John Tyndall performed detailed experiments that identified all the major greenhouse gases

Please ignore the science, ignore the data. Climate alarmists have a political ideology to promote, and facts can’t get in the way….

Why does increasing atmospheric CO₂ warm the planet? The greenhouse effect, duh. But do you know how that works? I can *almost* guarantee you that you don’t quite have the right picture in mind—in a way that actually matters. Interested? Here’s a new physics thread! 1/29

You can always count on @CarbonBrief to present a nice and clear summary. Here IPCC AR6 WG3 (mitigation of climate change) approved last night. 👇

Why is yet another UN climate report being released today, you ask? This is part three of the three-part assessment. The authors' work is staggered in purpose, so each part builds on the previous part(s). In September, a synthesis of all three will be released. (1/2)

The IPCC Working Group I AR6 Summary for Policymakers was approved in the summer of 2021. What do the key findings mean for Canada? An overview is provided in a new supplement to Canada’s Changing Climate Report available here: changingclimate.ca/CCCR2019/

[1/2] Wondering what the findings from @IPCC_CH’s #ClimateReport mean for Canada? Advancing our understanding of #ClimateChange requires collaboration with scientific experts from around the world and here at home. 🗺️ 🇨🇦

This year I attended my first COP as your Minister of Environment and Climate Change. Amid the ups and downs of summit diplomacy, one thing stood out that I wasn’t fully prepared for in Glasgow. Read my take on #COP26 here: nationalobserver.com/2021/11…

The really hard work continues, on 197 domestic fronts around the globe, now that the COP26 delegates have gone home.
