Look What You Did To The Maldives


Maybe Al Gore could go down there and do a documentary on the disappearance of the Maldives!

Tony Heller's avatarReal Climate Science

Your SUV was drowning the Maldives 200 years ago, and experts say that they will be completely underwater in 36 months.

Someone better get these people off the beach, before they drown.

Losing the grid would be vary vary bad.

Argo And Ocean Heat Content


No basic disagreement with you work in fact I was impressed!

I do have a comment though, the 20 watt swing from the ellipticity of the earth’s orbit would effect the northern and southern hemispheres differently since the north is predominately land and the south is predominantly water. The south is closer to the sum in the winter so the water would absorb more heat and there is more water. This would set up a flow of water based on the heat imbalance. This maybe part of what you have found?

Onward marches the Great Pause


The mean of the various GCM models is .5 degree C higher than the mean of the current values in NASA table LOTI, even with their inflated values. The GCM models also have the increase as a more geometric increase (more and more CO2) so the separation between the models and the actual values is growing every year now. My model shows this growing separation will continue until 2035 such that it will be over 1.0 degrees C by then.

Earth proton events as a solar activity measure


very interesting and looks like a ten year cycle?

A recent Talkshop comment led me to look at a data directory where something tripped a thought

There is an earth affecting proton event dataset running from 1976, named SPE (Solar Proton Event). These are rare and erratic in time.

A very difficult maths problem is pulse density integration, one of the reasons why producing a statistical distribution shape is very hard where the data is sparse and spasmodic.

I’ve faked up some kind of meaningful plot. Far from ideal so don’t be misled.

SSN is from SIDC

Taking the natural log of the energy value produces something sane looking, intuitively would be something like that. Added in some missing points for years with no events. Event data is provided to the second via NOAA.
