These are a collection of Ken Black’s Independent Research on Global Warming/Climate Change. The work began in 2014 and has continued through 2022.
It is not easy to explain the significance of the global warming work that I am doing. There are times, however, when the data sets align perfectly and I try to use the information to help people understand global warming. Today is one of those days – July 25, 2019.
I have been on a mission for five years. This mission continues to fascinate me as Mother Nature is sharing her secrets with me. I have been working to understand global warming so that I can teach people about what is really happening on our planet. This is my story.
Each day I get to fulfill my analytics dreams. This occurs because of great software from Alteryx, Tableau, and Mapbox, as well as having very talented friends like Allan Walker and Anya A’Hearn. To learn about my latest global warming insights, read this article.
For me, every day is an Earth Day. The video shown in this article explains why that is the case.
In-Q is a spoken word artist. His work is insightful and interesting. This work of art helps me understand why I have chosen to do the global climate change work I have been doing for years. I hope you enjoy the video.
Global warming has been visualized using world-wide temperature anomaly data. This work uses a pre-computed data set to understand temperature changes over the past 7 decades.
This is the second of a three part series showing how Tableau, Alteryx and Power BI can be used to perform trend modeling of data. In this article, Alteryx is used to perform the work.
A climate skeptic recently wrote a snide article that sent me into action. This article is a rebuttal to his work and explains why roads can be buckling in Bethel, AK.
Three years have come down to this article. I now feel that I have a good grasp on the spatial and temporal changes in temperature over the past 50 years. I feel like I have now achieved one of my goals in doing this work.
It has taken me eight months to finish this series on achieving data comprehension. This is the third and final installment that explains how I have learned to be a data exploiter. You will need to read the article to find out what that means.
This is a fun article. I created a Tableau dashboard that allows us to view 55 years of temperature data to see if global warming is impacting where we live. When you spend a little time using this tool, you will have a better appreciation of the variability of weather and the difficulty of concluding anything about global warming.
I take a detailed look at maximum air temperature changes over North America. I wanted to see what has happened over my lifetime, or over the past 5 decades. The results are very interesting, at least to me.
The more I work with this data set, the more I want to know about how our climate is changing. There are so many questions I have and in this article, I have been able to answer a few of them.
I had an idea about global climate changes that I wanted to investigate. When the analysis was finished, the results surprised me and have helped me begin to understand the air temperature changes that are occurring around the world.
This article was written in one day in March, 2015, and then forgotten for 1.5 years. Today I revived and revised the manuscript to get this thing out into the blogosphere. One day, I predict, someone will thank me for writing this one.
