New record low temperatures were set Sunday morning in several locations as an unseasonably cool and much drier air mass settled across the state behind a cold frontal passage.

The cities of Meridian, Greenwood, Greenville and Vicksburg all set new record lows with Crystal Springs tying its record low after temperatures dropped well down into the 50s with mid and upper 40s in some locations.

Greenville's low temperature of 50 degrees broke a record low that has stood for over 85 years (1924).

Why the IPCC 's romance novelist must resign

An independent review group supported by the academies of science from 100 countries has demanded that the UN-sanctioned IPCC stick to the facts, avoid policy advocacy, and come up with a conflict-of-interest policy to ensure IPCC members are not moonlighting for agenda-driven companies or organizations. With global warming advocates criticizing skeptics for being in the pockets of Big Oil, it only stands to reason that the IPCC be held to the same standard.

Power of persuasion creates critical mass for climate action

Climate change is not just a theory, it is a scientific fact, like gravity or the orbit of Earth around the sun. The consequences of global warming are so severe that avoiding climate change is not just a policy, it must become the overriding context of policy: economic policy, social policy, infrastructure policy and foreign policy, including policy on immigration and refugees.

Consider the following thought experiment on mutual persuasion. Suppose we date the start of public persuasion at 1990, the date of publication of the first report of the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change.

Let us suppose that each year one person who accepts that climate change is real and requires strong action persuades one other person to think the same way. At the end of 1991 there are two people who are persuaded.

In the following year, those two people each now persuade one other person, so at the end of 1992 there are four people. Thus each year the number of people who think action on climate change is needed doubles.
