Article 400 – Decoding The Global Warming Book
This article summarizes eight years of global warming research. It also happens to be my 400th article. There is a lot of information packed into the links.
Global Warming Insights In Small Pieces (Part 3)
This is part 3 of a story that documents a recent trip to California.
Global Warming Insights In Small Pieces (Part 2)
We were already down two strikes by the end of day 1. Mother nature was throwing curveballs at us that we could not have hit. Who would have thought that a National Park could be on fire on the day that you traveled thousands of miles to see it?
KC Episode #27 – For Me, Every Day is Earth Day
For me, every day is an Earth Day. The video shown in this article explains why that is the case.
Save Planet Earth Via In-Q
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.
Five Ways Power BI Is Now Better Than Tableau!
In this article, I describe the motivation behind my previous article. The clickbait method was used to entice people to read the article. In this article, I describe where I got the idea to do this.
How To Do Trend Modeling In #Alteryx
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.
Temperature Changes Over the Past 50 Years: A Visual Tour Country by Country
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.
Global Climate Data Set 2 – Monthly and Decade Average Temperatures
In this article, I give links to monthly aggregated temperatures, as well as decade aggregated results. These files are much smaller than the daily data files and should be easier for most people to render in Tableau or their favorite graphics package.
Global Climate Data Set 1 – Daily Temperatures
This is the first article of a series that will give download links to the processed global climate data sets I have developed. This article contains daily temperatures from monitoring stations around the world.
My #Alteryx17 Climate Change Presentation
June 6, 2017 was a great day for me. I was able to discuss three years of work with a room full of people at the Alteryx 2017 Inspire Conference. It was dream come true.

Do You Live In An Area Impacted By Global Warming?
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.
A Descriptive and Predictive Study of North American Air Temperature Changes Using #Alteryx and #Tableau
In my continuing series of understanding air temperature changes over time, I go deep to develop predictive models of air temperature changes at over 3200 monitoring stations. Alteryx and Tableau simply were outstanding in allowing me to perform this work in a couple of nights.
