CMIP6: Not-so-sudden stratospheric cooling

Real Climate

In the band of radiation where CO2 absorbs a lot (~15 $mu$m), increasing CO2 levels in the troposphere make it ever harder for those photons to get to the stratosphere or above. CMIP6 model spread and mean compared to the NOAA-STAR observations for three SSU channels (using the historical simulations continued by SSP5-85 after 2014).

Missouri Community and Its Children Grappling With Conflicting Nuclear Waste Exposure Reports

Union of Concerned Scientists

Radiation exposure can damage the DNA in cells leading to a host of health problems including cancer and auto-immune disorders. What’s more troubling is the Centers for Disease Control reports children and young adults, especially girls and women, are more sensitive to the effects of radiation. UCS also suggests consideration of St.

Experimental evidence found for long-distance intermolecular forces

Physics World

The forces are mediated by electromagnetic radiation, and they could explain how molecules find their targets inside the crowded interiors of living cells. In the 1960s, the theoretical physicist Herbert Fröhlich suggested that the resonant exchange of radiation between macromolecules and their cognate partners could be the answer.

Will Canada finally protect monarch butterflies?

Enviromental Defense

Another co-factor, radiation from wireless communications can affect navigation during migration. In 2014, COSEWIC had recommended that protection for western bumblebees also be increased. Wireless radiation for telecommunications impairs monarch navigation ability. Meg Sears, Chairperson, Prevent Cancer Now.

A distraction due to errors, misunderstanding and misguided Norwegian statistics

Real Climate

The most important problem with the sun-climate explanation is that there has been no long-term change in either solar activity or cosmic radiation over the last hundred years that can explain the global warming we are now seeing.
