Renewell, (a company located in Texas and California) has come up with a really cool way to repurpose oil wells.  There are more than 1 million oil wells in the U.S. - many already abandoned.  And a lot of those…

Researchers from 15 leading universities conclude that the global demand for energy can be met with renewable sources (wind, solar, hydro, waves, etc.) by or before 2050.  This is very encouraging news since burning fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal, etc.)…

Scientists have been warning us for years that Global Warming is a significant problem, that has and will continue to cause escalating problems for all of us.  The fundamental issue is that we need to stop digging fuels (coal, oil,…

A study done by some prominent scientists concludes that the entire globe can change to renewable energy - that doesn't pollute, with existing technology in wind, solar, geothermal, etc., and the payback is only 6 years.  From that point forward…

Brian Brettschneider (@Climatologist49) put together the map below illustrating the global temperatures by decade.  The answer if pretty clear. "Warmest decade since 1900. Not the 1930s. Not the 1970s. The results are dramatic and obvious."

Hawaii has made a commitment to going green.  As part of that, Hawaii is shutting down coal plants that create electricity, and recently got the last shipment of coal.  They are moving to renewable, clean sources of energy - solar,…

Global Warming is not just about the daytime highs.  One huge impact is overnight lows.  The issue here is that by burning fossil fuels (gas, coal, oil, etc.), we've added tons and tons of carbon dioxide to the air.  In…

The Webb Telescope has only been running for a bit over a month now, but it has already produced a picture of a Galaxy older than any we've seen before.  This Galaxy, called GLASS-z13, existed when the Universe was only…

Saint Louis got hammered today with more rain than they've ever seen before.  How much?  Some spots near Saint Louis got nearly a foot of rain in about 10 hours.  That's roughly a third of the rainfall they normally get…

As you know, we've gotten a good bit of rain so far this month, which has really helped our drought situation.  Check out the maps below from July 1st and today - just 3 weeks later.  Some good news.

Now this is cool!  Scientists have detected a strange and persistent radio wave from far, far away.  "Not only was it very long, lasting about3 seconds, but there were periodic peaks that were remarkably precise, emitting every fraction of a…

Below is a tweet that sums up what's going on in the UK. Daniel Swain @Weather_West "The U.K. has broken essentially every temperature record there is to break by considerable margins over the past 24 hours. An astonishing and extremely…

It's really hot - especially in Europe right now.  This is all the result of Global Warming.  And we are respo0nsible for this.  The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas, etc.) since the late 1800's has increased the concentration…

Underwater robots are able to give scientists a much more complete look at what's going on in the Ocean.  Here are a few excerpts from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. Researchers are using autonomous underwater robots to sample environmental…

We've seen a huge difference in our drought over the past two weeks.  Yes, we all know it's been rainy.  That rain has, at least for now, effectively eliminated our drought here in the Midlands.  Check out the image from…

Some good news on the forecasting front.  NOAA got some new, really fast computers that will help all of us in the coming years.  Remember, calculating what's going to happen in weather and climate boils down to a math/physics problem. …
