Climate science: staring into the sun?
…the science could unfold, and how this could alter policies and market sentiment (chart above). [restrict] Introduction: Why the Sun Matters? Much climate science is clear and uncontraversial, making it…
Global average temperatures: are the data robust and reliable?
…thermometer under the world’s armpit and waiting three minutes… How are global average surface temperatures measures? Surface air temperatures (SATs) are measured at weather stations. 32,000 weather stations are currently…
Costs of climate change: solving the paradox?
…climate change are only $1.5trn per year. So paradoxically, the energy transition appears to cost 2x more than climate change itself (note below). https://thundersaidenergy.com/2021/01/08/costs-of-climate-change-a-paradox/ What implications? The note above spells…
How does methane increase global temperature?
How does methane increase global temperature? This article outlines the theory. We also review the best equations, linking atmospheric methane concentrations to radiative forcing, and in turn to global temperatures….
Adiabatic flame temperature: hydrogen, methane and oil products?

Energy needed to produce steam: enthalpy and entropy data?
…expand. So how can we quantify this effect? Density-of-steam-at-different-temperatures-and-pressures In energy terms, we can quantify how the latent heat of vaporization declines as pressure and temperature increase. At 1-bar of…
Density of gases: by pressure and temperature?
…Gas Constant (in J/mol-K) and T is absolute temperature in Kelvin. The Density of a Gas can be calculated as a function of pressure and temperature, simply by re-arranging the…
Boltzmann energy overview?
…chart below shows that chemical reactions proceed exponentially faster when temperatures are higher, which is why industrial heating is over 25% of all global energy use. Faster reactions will tend…
