Real Climate

The fact that there is a natural greenhouse effect (that the atmosphere restricts the passage of infra-red (IR) radiation from the Earth’s surface to space) is easily deducible from; i) the mean temperature of the surface (around 15ºC) and, ii) knowing that the planet is normally close to radiative equilibrium. in IPCC TAR).

A glimpse into the future of radiation therapy

Physics World

Citing the ESTRO 2022 programme, she noted that many researchers are already developing adaptation and personalization for every part of the radiation treatment chain. Instead, even though it may be hard to use and difficult to interpret, use this information to personalize radiation therapy at every level for every patient.”.

Science denial is still an issue ahead of COP28

Real Climate

The energy balance of our planet , the radiation arriving and leaving, is continually monitored by a global radiation network at the surface and by dedicated satellites. And yes, also the increase in back-radiation towards the Earth surface from the CO2 greenhouse effect is a measured fact.

Phantastic Job!

This work was first instigated as part of the pre-development of the Smithsonian’s Deep Time exhibit (which opened in 2019). It is not as though people have not tried – we discussed this here in 2014, where we made a plea for better graphs of the global temperature. Now, 10 years later, we finally have something. 0.6ºC (95% CI).

What is Ethylene Oxide? Answers to Your Questions about the Cancer-Causing Chemical

Union of Concerned Scientists

EPA proposed changes to its MON rule in 2019, regulating toxic emissions for about 200 chemical plants that produce solvents, plastics, and pesticides across the country. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also acknowledged that it has a role to play in identifying alternatives to EtO for sterilizing medical equipment.
