CLAM Bake!

Climate Learning and Modeling Development Environment

CLAM Bake is a complete Python programming environment that allows you to code and run simple climate computer programs.

Getting Started

Use the buttons to toggle between this page, the code editor, the console output, the interaction window and the graphics canvas.

Introduction to CLAM Bake

This development environment provides access to:

Editor — A place to enter Python programs.
Console — A place to view the output of programs.
Canvas — A place where graphics can be drawn.
Library — A place where multiple programs can be save or loaded.

Credits and Thanks

The core of CLAM Bake is Skulpt, the Python to Javascript translator developed by Scott Graham.

The editor, CodeMirror, was developed by Marijn Haverbeke.

Python itself is a robust high-level programming language created by its Benevolent Dictator for Life, Guido van Rossum.

Powerpoint friendly version of SkS Christmas cartoon

Posted on 25 December 2012 by John Cook

Four years ago, I posted a cartoon of Santa confronted with a melting Arctic. Considering 2012 saw record Arctic sea ice melt (and the ensuing silly season), now seems like an appropriate time to revisit that cartoon. I've created a new 1024 x 768 pixel version of the cartoon, suitable for use in Powerpoint presentations and added it to the SkS Graphics resource. Like all SkS-created graphics, it's under a Creative Commons licence and hence freely available for reuse by other bloggers and communicators. Enjoy and merry Christmas and happy holidays from all of us at SkS!

Actually JC, if you had put it up earlier, I could have printed it out and sent it as a Christmas card.

Hi John

Wishing you, your family and Skeptical Science another successful year!

Paul D,

Commiserations. Here in Ireland, we seem to have escaped the deluge you have experienced.

The island of Ireland is (roughly) the size of England, but with a far smaller population density. So we (possibly) have more natural sinks & more empty floodplains for water to drain into the sea. I presume we get the same rainfall, in fact I thought Ireland got more on the average!

However, after the egregious bulding boom, it is only a matter of time before we are caught again on the wrong side of nature.

To John Cook & Co: Happy Christmas to the Skeptical Science team!
