    WOW! Syukuro Manabe and Kraus Hasselmann won the Nobel Prize for Physics. This is the first time I can remember a meteorologist winning the Nobel Prize. Congratulations to both for their pioneering efforts. Manabe & Hasselmann have been pioneers in the modeling of climate.

    BREAKING NEWS: The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2021 in Physics to Syukuro Manabe, Klaus Hasselmann and Giorgio Parisi “for groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex physical systems.”

    Mourning the death of a climate legacy. Thaw probing is a tried & true approach for measuring permafrost change. Over time this lets us map the top of the frozen layer. Here we discovered that ancient Pleistocene aged permafrost had completely disappeared. Watch this live action.

    I guess it's time to refresh this chart already... of the 126 original names on the modern set of 6 lists, only 8 have been unused now. The blue colors on here indicate that the name has been used at some point, and red indicates that it has been retired.

    Eventually, all denier arguments go away. 1. surface station data are contaminated: RIP, 2010 2. global warming has stopped: RIP, 2016 3. observed climate sensitivity is low: RIP, 2019 4. hurricanes aren't getting stronger: RIP, 2020 5. 1930s was hotter than today: RIP, 2021

    New data shows that Summer 2021 in the continental U.S. edged out the Dust Bowl Summer of 1936 for hottest ever recorded. We are entering uncharted territory as global temperatures continue to rise. We must act in order to avoid irreparable harm.
