Will Coppock's global warming science fair project passed the screening fair today. There were 124 entrants at Hillsdale Middle School screening fair. Fifty-six, including Will, earned the right to go on to the Balboa park two-county fair at the end of March. The judges were most favorably impressed with Will Coppock's paper, "The Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Global Warming: Three Mysteries." The abstract of his paper is:
This paper examines the temporal and spatial distribution of the rise in the global mean near surface temperature over the last century, commonly called "global warming." Three non-uniformities in the distribution of global warming will be demonstrated and discussed: - there is more heating at the poles than the tropics, - nighttime low temperatures warm faster than daytime highs, and - in each hemisphere, there is more warming during the winter than the summer. The author asserts that these three non-uniformities are the result of an increase in greenhouse gas concentrations in the Earth's atmosphere. The increase of these three observations in the years 1950 to 1999 as compared to the years 1900 to 1949 supports this assertion, because there are higher gas concentrations in the more recent interval. Will received valuable advice from Dr. William M Connolley, a climate scientist well known to members of this forum.
