There was a sharp fall in the number of low-lying clouds in 2023Busà Photography/Getty Images Changes in cloud cover may account for why global temperatures for the past two years have exceeded the predictions of climate models. 2023 and 2024 saw temperature records repeatedly smashed, with both years now showing average temperatures around 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level.

Now, researchers believe the answer lies in a sharp drop in low-lying cloud cover in 2023. This change reduced Earth’s albedo –…
The University of Michigan Board of Regents did not vote on whether to defund its diversity, equity and inclusion program at its final meeting of the year Thursday following protests on campus to keep the embattled program intact.

QUESTION: Marty, you said December was a chaotic month that was geopolitical and the risk of major earthquakes in California. Is this what the computer was forecasting?

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the tremor hit about 60 miles west-southwest of Ferndale, California. It’s not clear if any damage or injuries were reported. However, while the computer projected the natural events for this week, the last two weeks of the month appear to be the…
