CERES co-team leader, Dr. Ronan Connolly, has just launched his own YouTube channel, @RonanConnollyScience. His first video describes the paper we posted about yesterday. We have also uploaded the video to the CERES YouTube channel. If you’d like to learn more of our research, please subscribe to both channels:

In this video, Dr. Ronan Connolly describes our latest paper on the Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) measurements in the satellite era, 1978-present. TSI represents the amount of energy reaching the Earth from the Sun.

Scientists have been debating what trends, if any, there have been in TSI since the first TSI satellites were launched in 1978. Some scientists have claimed that there has been almost no long-term changes other than an 11-year up-and-down cycle tracking the sunspot cycles. Others have suggested that there have been additional multi-decade-long TSI trends between each cycle.

Here, Ronan digs into these debates and presents the new results that will change our understanding of this ongoing scientific mystery.

Awake Freedom TV On Roku is Broken!  🙂

I could no longer maintain the costs on my own, so I moved the off of a dedicated server which was needed for the TV platform to work.  On top of that, I want to build an app Awake Freedom TV app, for mobile phones.  We need your help to first resurrect our TV channel, and then build the mobile app.   In order to do that, I need a minimum of 800/month on subscription payments.  Please help anyway you can with the form below.
