An interesting model of our solar system’s path as it travels through space in the Milky Way.
Certainly a departure from usual models that show the Sun as a static object, which it certainly isn’t
I have been waiting for this picture to come back around for so long to show it to someone.
This is blowing my mind.
A very interesting astronomy model.
Barely a week goes by these days in the Northern Hemisphere without the jet stream being mentioned in the news, but rarely do such news items explain in detail what it is and why it is important. As a severe weather photographer this past 10+ years, an activity which requires successful DIY forecasting, I’ve had to develop an appreciation into what makes it tick. This post, then, is a start-from-scratch primer based on that knowledge plus some valuable assistance from academia into where the current research is heading. Because of its length and breadth of coverage, I’ve broken it up into bookmarked sections for easy reference: to come back here click on ‘back to contents’ in each instance.
Imagine there are no people. Imagine a planet where the sea level is about five to 40 meters (16 to 131 feet) higher than normal. Imagine a planet that is hotter and wetter. Imagine, worldwide, it’s roughly 3 to 4 degrees Celsius (5.4 to 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than today. And the…
Over the last few days, there has been intense interest in our consensus paper and The Consensus Project website. The fact that the paper has been reported widely in mainstream media across the world is an important step towards reducing the gaping chasm between public perception…
Land, atmosphere, and ice heating (red), 0-700 meter OHC increase (light blue), 700-2,000 meter OHC increase (dark blue). From Nuccitelli et al. (2012).
The fact is climate scientists have long predicted that about 90% of total human-made global warming would go into heating the oceans —…
It's getting warmer, ice is melting, sea's are rising, things are changing.
Climate Change has my full attention.
This Tumblr mostly goes about the changing climate, but also about e.g. the Eiffel tower in Paris, France.
I believe that science can do a lot to help us to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change and other enviromental problems.
I realize that politician and big companies will do nothing to solve the problems untill activist citizens and shareholders force them to do something. It needs activist in all forms and ways to protect our Earth and future from disaster.
