In just one day we will know if this is the Arctic Sea Ice Minimum. South Carolina and North Carolina are seeking "normality" according to the LA Times after one Hurricane - the first of the season. They may not get it this Winter. This page will be updated daily, then we will make an …

"No one expected quail eggs!" Zero Footprint Week in the Bay Area If the United States can displace the inefficiencies in its locally-produced work and energy, by being more efficient on a local level, we can survive internally as a democratically-governed people of every ethnic and cultural background until a broader alternative is reached. Other nations …

Did you know that NASA/NOAA have been taking Vital Signs of Earth for 50 years or more? This graph, based on the comparison of atmospheric samples contained in ice cores and more recent direct measurements, provides evidence that atmospheric CO2 has increased since 1950 beyond ANY KNOWN OR RECORD DATE .

This Nature Communications followed up with two journals articles has been accurate during the study period of the early 21st Century, and onward to last Winter. That is nearly two decades of accuracy in predicting Arctic Vortex collapse. While there is no generic loss of Arctic Sea Ice responsible, the Barents-Kara Seas sets in motion with …
In just a few days we will reach Arctic Sea Ice Minimum.. This page will be updated daily - then we will make an assessment for the coming year. The Arctic Sea Ice Minimum indicates how warm the Arctic Sea and Air have become and how severe our Winters east of the Rockies and coastal …

We have much to learn. Classically, the Sun is in the …
It sounds "Zen" doesn't it? Or even a hint of "Cargo Cult Science," like psychology. The Lost Art of Finding Our Way is neither. Rather, it is a mathematical and scientific exposition on the basis of navigation, meteorology, and astrophysics as humanity has developed them. If you do not understand trigonometry, this is not the …
