We analyzed more than 100 breaking news stories about recent record-breaking heat and rainfall in the U.S. Less than half mentioned climate change. Only 11 percent mentioned fossil fuels, or other pollution sources.

Geothermal is scaling up! Fervo Energy, "which has spent seven years perfecting lower-cost drilling techniques, just announced its largest contract to date, a milestone 15-year deal to sell 320 megawatts of climate-friendly power to Southern California Edison." Read more:

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life. But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

Note that low values do not mean conditions are safe. Very high dry bulb temps with low humidity, conditions that cause wet bulb to be low, can still be dangerous.

But wet bulb temp need not get that high. As it passes 28 °C (82 °F), significant heat stress starts to build up. The worry is climate change will increase the chance of wet bulb temps reaching lethal levels.

Wet bulb temp is one measure of heat stress. If it gets too close to body temp, no amount of sweat or air flow will help. We develop heat stroke, then die. A widely accepted limit of survivability is 35 °C (95 °F). Thankfully, it rarely gets this high on Earth… for now.

✨ New features launched on earth.nullschool.net: wet bulb temp and dew point. 🌡️
Thought it would be easy, but found myself down a rabbit hole of atmospheric thermodynamics.

How lazy is this. A stock photo of beachgoers to accompany an article on "dangerous heat". I'm not a professional journalist and even I wouldn't do this.

There is something so weird and unsettling around how oil and gas trading people are completely disconnected from the fact they're talking about a profoundly destructive substance. "I think asbestos sales will continue to be high" right but er, you don't seem to be thinking about the consequences

Visually spectacular "sculpted" supercell thunderstorm near Woodrow on high plains of eastern Colorado earlier today (6/8/24). This storm featured a blue-green & ground-scraping shelf cloud (& dust storm beneath) so wide I could not fully capture even with wide angle lens! #COwx

There’s a growing trend of replacing shuttered coal plants with solar, batteries, or other forms of clean energy. The ground is already cleared and the hookup to the electrical power grid is already there, so it makes all the sense in the world! More of this please 😊🌎 Here’s Nevada USA…

The second post discusses the aurora, coral reef heat stress, and how to switch units of measurement. (Received a lot of feedback about that last one.)

I set up a newsletter for earth.nullschool.net to announce new features, answer common questions, provide behind-the-scenes details, etc. It's an experiment!
First post covers some issues I ran into upgrading to the OSCAR v2 ocean currents model.

This is the commercial they show on the trains. It's a possible desertized future where people complain it'll get super hot if nothing is done about CO2. The guy in a business suit says e-methane is a futuristic fuel made from recycled CO2. Then they dance.

The Japan Gas Association is marketing a product called e-methane (on commuter trains, no less). It's just synthetic methane produced with hydrogen sourced from fossil fuels. Their banner image is... unintentionally ironic? It's North America, horizontally flipped (??), with severe desertification.

Cooking emits little CO2, but gas pipelines leak methane (and cost ratepayers for O&M) until they're shut off. Methane has caused one-third of all global warming to date. Keeping pipelines pressurized and leaking just to sear/char food is nutty when gas stoves can be retrofit to burn propane. 🔌💡

The reason to vote for Biden is to keep Trump out of office. This would still be true if the Dem candidate were Joe Manchin, or AOC, or The Rock, or a potted fucking plant. I can't believe there's any debate about this.

I’ve decided to dedicate myself full time to earth.nullschool.net. There is much work to do! In particular, I’m going to explore ways for the site to help fight climate change. More on this in the near future.
It’s been an amazing 10 years. Here’s hoping for 10 more. 🎉
