Nuclear fusion offers the most hope at rectifying human induced climate change. Nuclear fusion is how the sun works. In a press release, Lockheed Martin states a breakthrough: The Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] Skunk Works® team is working on a new compact fusion reactor (CFR) that can be developed and deployed in as little as […]

Climate-related Health Risks
The World Health Organization calls for stronger action on climate-related health risks: “The evidence is overwhelming: climate change endangers human health,” says Dr Margaret Chan, WHO Director-General. “Solutions exist and we need to act decisively to change this trajectory.” Previously unrecognized health benefits could be realized from fast action to reduce climate change and its […]

Strange July Weather
NASA reports that North America weather patterns for July 2014 were upside down: If you live in the northern hemisphere, the past few weeks have been strange. In places where it should be seasonably hot—the eastern and southern United States and western Europe—it’s just been warm. In places where weather is usually mild in the […]

Consequences Of Climate Change
NASA scientists warn: Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted and trees are flowering sooner. Effects that scientists had predicted in the past would result from global climate change are now occurring: loss […]

Climate Change and the Presidental Action Plan
The President’s Plan to Cut Carbon Pollution in America Reducing Carbon Pollution from Power Plants Power plants are the largest major source of emissions in the U.S., together accounting for roughly one-third of all domestic greenhouse gas pollution. PROGRESS: In September 2013, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced proposed carbon pollution standards for new power […]

Collapse Of West Antarctica
The collapse of the ice sheet in West Antarctica have raised concern about the rising sea level. “This is really happening,” Thomas P. Wagner, who runs NASA’s programs on polar ice, said. “There’s nothing to stop it now. But you are still limited by the physics of how fast the ice can flow.” “Today we […]

Global Warming Exponential Damage
The U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reported that global warming is spiraling out of control. “The world, in many cases, is ill-prepared for risks from a changing climate,” the IPCC said. FAQ 1: Are risks of climate change mostly due to changes in extremes, changes in average climate, or both? People and ecosystems across […]

News from the Ice Wars
The Membrane Domain has been conducting Human Induced Climate Change Experiments since 1999. One of the first scientist to hypothesize that global warming was exponential (as opposed to the linear models) requested fellow scientists to conduct studies. One Membrane Domain scientists began a study on the decline of the ice mass. The analysis is on-going; […]

Extreme Weather Events and the Meandering Jet Stream
The extreme weather events effecting the USA, England and Australia by be a result of a change in the Jetstream. The BBC reports: New research suggests that the main system that helps determine the weather over Northern Europe and North America may be changing. The study shows that the so-called jet stream has increasingly taken […]

Winter Storm Battering Mid-Atlantic and New England
NASA — The monster winter storm that brought icing to the U.S. southeast moved northward along the Eastern Seaboard and brought snow, sleet and rain from the Mid-Atlantic to New England on February 13. A new image from NOAA’s GOES satellite showed clouds associated with the massive winter storm stretch from the U.S. southeast to […]
