Berkeley Earth's Detailed Methodology Published in New Paper
While our fully open-source surface temperature datasets have been publicly available for some time, this paper represents the first time our complete, detailed methodology has been formally published. The paper specifically includes discussion of Berkeley Earth's treatment of air temperature in the Arctic region, and provides comparison between the global warming trends indicated by Berkeley Earth's dataset vs. other global temperature records.

Nuclear Waste Needs to Be Part of the Conversation on Climate Change
"The climate crisis requires immediate action to reduce carbon-based energy sources. Nuclear energy is part of the low-carbon energy mix, but if we don’t solve the waste problem then we’re not being responsible." Berkeley Earth Co-Founder and President Elizabeth Muller explores the connection between nuclear waste and climate change, and what her new venture Deep Isolation is doing to solve this crucial issue.
