Rabett Run: What Fish Need is Bicycles - BPL
http://rabett.blogspot.com/2015/07/choking-fish.html
Eli meant to behave but there were way too many options. Friday, July 31, 2015. What Fish Need is Bicycles - BPL. Title changed from Choking the Fish. While there has been considerable discussion of desorbing carbon dioxide from the warming oceans, less, to literally none, has been paid to the stuff that sea life breaths. This, it turns out, could be of even more importance because oxygen concentrations in the ocean are not buffered in the same way that CO 2. Deutsch, Ferrel, Seibel, Poertner and Huey, w...

Rabett Run: We did our divestment
http://rabett.blogspot.com/2013/08/we-did-our-divestment.html
Eli meant to behave but there were way too many options. Wednesday, August 28, 2013. We did our divestment. There was some reasonable discussion of whether we should distinguish the best fossil fuel companies from the rest. We decided to go ahead with the simple divestment from all of them, and consider at a future time whether we should amend the policy in favor of the better companies. Like I said earlier. The San Jose Mercury News published an article. It is unfortunate some people seem to feel supply...

Rabett Run: Down the Drain
http://rabett.blogspot.com/2014/07/down-drain.html
Eli meant to behave but there were way too many options. Saturday, July 12, 2014. Eli has long been an advocate of the five fold way. To deal with the damage already done. Eliminating harmful effects of our actions. With needed and desired but not wasteful usage. Of green systems for destructive ones. Reversing our thoughtless abuse. There has been considerable noise in the climate set about leaks from natural gas pipes and wells. An article in the NYTimes by David Bornstein. With loads of consequences.

Global Warming Physics and Models. My non-technical essay on Global Warming is here: Global Warming. How the greenhouse effect works. Radiative equilibrium - no atmosphere. Simple greenhouse model - with idealized atmosphere. Greenhouse HS talk (2/9/11). How does CO2 change the greenhouse effect? Energy flows of the real earth atmosphere and surface. Calculating the two temperatures of the atmosphere. Calculating temperature increase for doubled CO2. Improving the greenhouse model. CO2 and ice ages.

Rabett Run: "You can see it and you can feel it"
http://rabett.blogspot.com/2015/08/you-can-see-it-and-you-can-feel-it.html
Eli meant to behave but there were way too many options. Thursday, August 06, 2015. You can see it and you can feel it". Starts about 15 seconds in:. We can see it and we can feel it - hotter summers, rising sea levels, extreme weather events like stronger storms, deeper droughts, and longer wildfire seasons, all disasters that are becoming more frequent, more expensive, and more dangerous.". More backing for my argument that climate communication to the public should use the " can feel it in your bones.

DCveR's Twilight Zone: May 2007
http://dcverstwilightzone.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 31, 2007. A little garden by the sea. That's what our people call this plot of land that is our country: um pequeno jardim à beira mar plantado. A peaceful little place, where people are mostly gentle. It seems we are the ninth most peaceful country in the world. If you want check how peaceful your country is). Still this is a rather nice place to live in. Call me naïve if you want to, but I really believe it would be possible to build a better world where this ranking would make no sense, ...

Rabett Run: A Matter of Ethics
http://rabett.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-open-review-of-hansen-et-al.html
Eli meant to behave but there were way too many options. Sunday, August 02, 2015. A Matter of Ethics. Of the Hansen, et al paper. On sea level rise has, as they say, gone nuclear, with the arrival of Andy Revkin. And the local Dragon Slayer rep. In that context Eli sees little difference between the two. The first is a question of fairness, the second a question of not making a fool of yourself and wasting everyone's time. In either case you may have an opinion, but that's it. It is YOUR opinion. Revkin ...

Eli meant to behave but there were way too many options. Sunday, August 02, 2015. Eli is happy to present some supplemental materials expanding on a previous post and more. Devastating critique" is my word for when half-bright self-appointed science police get on the case of actual researchers. 8212; Dan Davies (@dsquareddigest) July 31, 2015. Paradigmatically, it involves holding up something as a Fatal Flaw [tm] which was actually mentioned by the authors. It begins with a quote from Mick Cullen. Not a...
