How Climate Works

This collection covers the machinery of Earth's climate: how sunlight becomes heat, how greenhouse gases trap that heat, how oceans and ice sheets store and move energy, and why adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere changes the whole balance. Each explainer walks through one mechanism at a time, in the order a curious reader would actually ask about it. Everything here reflects the mainstream scientific consensus as assessed by the IPCC and agencies like NASA and NOAA. We simplify the physics without distorting it, we flag genuine uncertainties where they exist, and we never dress the science up as either catastrophe fan-fiction or manufactured doubt.
