A t long last: John Cook from Skeptical Science rejoins the Climate Show team for the first show of 2013. He hooks up with Glenn and Gareth to review Australia s big heatwave, and stays around to dig into the new Greenpeace report on dirty energy, discuss Obama s inauguration houses for rent in panama city florida speech and Boris Johnson s climate blunder, the latest scary news on sea level rise and the implications for the future. Plus much much more…
If global houses for rent in panama city florida warming continues, the study projects houses for rent in panama city florida that the number of new monthly records will be 12 times as high in 30 years as it would be without climate change. Now this doesn t mean there will be 12 times more hot summers in Europe than today it actually is worse, Coumou points out. For the new records set in the 2040s will not just be hot by today s standards. To count as new records, they actually have to beat heat records set in the 2020s and 2030s, houses for rent in panama city florida which will already houses for rent in panama city florida be hotter than anything we have experienced to date, explains Coumou. And this is just the global average in some continental regions, the increase in new records will be even greater.
A new report commissioned by Greenpeace says the world could be locked into dangerous levels of global warming if 14 planned fossil fuel projects get the go ahead. The projects in the Point of No Return report include the expansion of Indonesian and Australian coal exports, a tripling of production from the Canadian tar sands and extensive offshore drilling in Brazilian waters.All houses for rent in panama city florida in all, the 6,340 million tonnes of CO 2 a year by 2020, more than the total output of the US.

The researchers found that the natural relationship displays a strong rise in sea level for CO2 increase from 180 to 400 parts per million, peaking houses for rent in panama city florida at CO2 levels close to present-day values, with sea level at 24 +7/-15 metres above the present, at 68 per cent confidence limits.
A catastrophic rise in sea level before the end of the century could have a hitherto unforeseen side effect. Melting icebergs might cool the seas around Greenland and Antarctica so much that the average surface temperature of the planet falls by a degree or two. This is according to unpublished work by climate scientist James Hansen of NASA s Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City.
Sprinkling billions of tonnes of mineral dust across the oceans could quickly houses for rent in panama city florida remove a vast quantities of climate-warming carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, according houses for rent in panama city florida to a new study. The proposed geoengineering technique would also offset the acidification of the oceans and could be targeted at endangered coral reefs, but there's a downside it would require a mining effort on the same scale as the world s coal industry and would alter the biology of the oceans.
It is hoped the method, which involves placing tiny solar panels on microbes to harness sunlight and drive the production houses for rent in panama city florida of hydrogen, will be a more efficient way of converting houses for rent in panama city florida the sun s energy than currently exists.
