The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has an idea about how the Earth cools itself: when the planet’s surface warms up, it sends more heat into space as infrared radiation. They estimate that for every 1-degree Celsius increase in temperature, the Earth releases an extra 3.3 watts of energy per square meter—a natural cooling […]
We all know the story about the king who paraded with no clothes, as though everyone watching on was oblivious to the mistake. Parallels can be drawn with sources of CO2, I mean CO2 from factories versus CO2 from natural sources. There is no definitive distinguishing feature, yet in this case we are expected to […]
I’m sometimes asked how ocean circulation can naturally cause global warming, with many assuming solar variability or under sea volcanoes to be the indirect immediate cause. My New Theory of Climate Resilience will focus instead on ocean upwelling dynamics, particularly in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific (EEP), and their modulation by lunar cycles. And I'm thinking […]
Carbon dioxide is indeed the 'stuff of life', underpinning photosynthesis, boosting plant growth, enhancing agricultural yields, and enabling practical applications in industry. While discussions so often focus on its role in climate change, CO₂’s contributions to life in ecosystems is profound and undeniable, making it a cornerstone of biological and other planetary processes. CO₂ is […]
Tesla had a 71% drop in first quarter profits compared to last year, but those losses were minimised because they picked up $595,000,000 US in regulatory credits for the quarter. Indeed, according to Tesla’s Q1 2025 earnings, net income fell 71% to $409 million from $1.39 billion the previous year, driven by a 13% drop […]
We can’t always be what we want to be. There is a real world, and it needs to be acknowledged. Denying this risks fairness in sports, safety in spaces, even winning wars that require a grip on reality. In most species, males are larger, stronger, and tasked with roles like protection from predation. This holds […]
Picture this: it’s a hot day, and you grab a soda can that’s been in the sun. You crack it open—psssht—and CO₂ fizzes out, tickling your nose, maybe spraying your shirt if you’re slow. It’s a tiny chaos, a burst you can’t control. Now imagine that fizz across the ocean’s sun-warmed surface, covering 71% of […]
It was a custom, according to some beginning with the mistake of Noah in sending the Dove out of the Ark before the water had abated, to send out some absurd message on 1st April each year, something misleading. A message that is not even hopeful, just absurd. Traditionally, after the gullible begin to nod, […]
I was looking up the value of debating the other day, apparently debating is good for us because it fosters critical thinking, persuasive communication, and the ability to analyse complex topics from multiple perspectives. It empowers individuals to articulate their thoughts clearly, defend their viewpoints, and challenge opposing ideas respectfully. Most everyone can tell me […]
