Bear with me a little bit on this post as I am going to get a little bit technical, but it’s necessary so that you understand how CO2 works in our atmosphere. Decades of misinformation about carbon dioxide have taken their toll, and we are...
Meteorology, and climatology are disciplines that require a combination of study, logic, and education, using proven physical laws as the basis for deriving conclusions. If any one of those components is missing the end result is, at best, bad science. At worst, it leads to...
As we approach the start of summer in the northern hemisphere, the sun is reaching its northernmost pinnacle in our skies. As a result, daylight exceeds darkness by its greatest amount during the 24-hour day. And, it makes it much easier to heat up...

A little over 70% of the surface of the Earth is water. Changes in the thermal patterns we see in the oceans have a huge influence over our weather patterns. The warm and cold areas in the ocean shift gradually over time….and usually similar patterns...
Kansas has more industrial wind turbines than any other state. Since 2002, the wind energy component went from 2% to 36% of the net generating capacity for the state. I am using Kansas as the example to since it is the most extreme case...
