Hard hitting global and local news

The students are naive but great and the administrators vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional.

Tweet One of the surprising things is that the sea is not flat, but there are places where sea level is lower than others, rising faster than others or slower. Mostly bunnies just look at the averages, but the money, just as with temperature and precipitation changes is local. Turns out that the northeast US coast, from Cape Hatteras on north up to Maine is the so called Northeast Hot Spot (NEH) and the rate of sea level rise since 1950 or so is three times the global. Sallenger Doran and Howd explore the " Hotspot of accelerated sea level rise on the Atlantic coast of North America ". Turns out it’s not all bad news because In the late twentieth century, sea levels were relatively low along the North American east coast, particularly north of Cape Hatteras8,9
An Apology From Eli For about a year, Eli has been saying that the UAH (and the RSS) software for decoding the (A)MSU data is not publically available. To be honest the Rabett had expected that if it was available somebunny (Hi Lucia) would be churning away on it and others (Hi Steve) would be auditing and still others would be rewriting it in Python ( Hi Nick ) and they would have haruphed at Eli. Well, it turns out that a recent poke at this by Eli, brought a pointer to a place where this was mentioned three years ago, Dr. Christy and Dr.

California cap-trade passes second test better than first California’s cap-and-trade passed, barely, its first test last fall with an auction price that just barely exceeded the $10/ton minimum price. The second auction of carbon allowances last week went better, with all carbon allowances selling at $13.62/ton , right in the middle of the expected range of $11-15/ton. The amount of carbon allowances released for auction isn’t so big that regulated buyers figured they only needed to pay the minimal amount because it would only take minimal effort to comply with or buy allowances later, nor was it so little that buyers were forced to pay top dollar and would then come screaming that the political system is demanding more change than is economically feasible. Coming in at another $3/ton also means more money available to fund the other important parts of California’s climate mitigation plan. Finally, half the 2016 allowances were sold, which is fine – the market has another way to satisfy the same demand by selling them as futures . So far, the California system seems to be doing a lot better than Europe’s. Probably not a huge surprise – we got to see what didn’t work.
