The graph above and data below are the average monthly temperatures. These are good for comparison purposes but a bit misleading when imagining what the climate in a location is like. They even out the diurnal (daily) changes in temperature from day to night. It is nearly always warmer in ...
More than 60% of meteorite finds on Earth originate from Antarctica. Using a data-driven analysis that identifies meteorite-rich sites in Antarctica, we show climate warming causes many extraterrestrial rocks to be lost from the surface by melting into t
For sea ice, the Arctic saw a below average minimum extent in September, continuing the long-term decline there. In Antarctica, which has seen increasing sea ice extent over the past few decades, the February 2022 summer minimum...

The World Resources Institute (WRI) has summarized the IPCC AR6 results regarding melting of Greenland and Antarctica ice: Should warming reach between 2 degrees C (3.6 degrees F) and 3 degrees C (5.4 degrees F), for example, the West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets could melt almost ...
“Keeling curve,” a graph in which the longer-term rising trend is superimposed on small oscillations related to seasonal variations in the uptake and release of CO2fromphotosynthesisand respiration in the terrestrialbiosphere. Keeling’s measurements at Mauna Loa apply primarily to the Northern ...
Figure 1: Selected historical mean unsubsidized LCOE values. This graph reflects the average of the high and low LCOE for each technology in each year. The percentages on the right of the figure represent the decrease in average LCOE since 2009.Source:Lazard(reproduced with permission)2. ...
Concurring with Javier – This is one of the illogical claims ever made by the climate scientists. Natural variability has been the rule for 100million years, but some how stopped for the last 170 years resulting in the conclusion that all the warming since 1850 is man made!
Covered by snow and ice, Antarctica (南极洲) is the coldest and most mysterious continent (大陆) on Earth. However, this wild place still attracts people who wish to go there. The Antarctic is a good place to research the land, ocean, air, ice shelves and biology...
“Policymakers at COP28 need to get out of the way of companies that are harnessing energy responsibly and innovatively and recognize the need to pave the way for a legacy of human advancement worldwide. In energy lies not just the power to create but also the power to conserve and protect...
