The Earth is getting greener. Environmentalists want to stop that.

.. --- A recent Science paper by J-F. Busteri and 30 named coauthors assisted by 239 volunteers found, looking at global drylands (about 40% of land areas fall into this category), that we had undercounted global forest cover by a whopping “at least 9%.” 239 people were required to examine over 210,000 0.5 hectare (1.2 acre) sample … Continue reading The Earth is getting greener.

Scientist: Sea Ice Expanding, Driven by Falling Temperatures

.. __ While there’s been thousands of legacy media stories about the very real decline in summer sea-ice extent in the Arctic Ocean, we can’t find one about the statistically significant increase in Antarctic sea ice that has been observed at the same time. Also, comparisons between forecast temperature trends down there and what’s been observed are also very … Continue reading Scientist: Sea Ice Expanding, Driven by Falling Temperatures
