As the science of the warmists gets exposed as woefully inadequate, slipshod and flawed, all they can do now is give each other awards in pompous ceremonies in an effort to generate a (fake) sense of achievement and contribution. They’ve been reduced to a pretend world. One example is the Technical University of Berlin recently awarding […]

Energy poverty is sweeping over modern Germany like never before. Flagship German newspaper Die Welt has an online report titled: Fast 800.000 Deutsche können Strom nicht bezahlen. In English: Almost 800,000 Germans cannot pay for electricity. Green energy leaves Germans in the dark.

This just released prestigious report is not going to please the IPCC scientists. It calls for a profound change of course in climate research. Snip of the report’s front cover. The Research Council Of Norway has conducted a comprehensive evaluation (see right side bar) of the status of climate science in Norway and released their results. […]

According to the University of Wisconsin, Madison here, on June 11, 2012, the South Pole Station measured a new record low temperature. Antarctica weather station. Photo source: http://amrc.ssec.wisc.edu/aboutus/ The mercury dropped to -73.8°C/-100.8°F, breaking the previous minimum temperature record of -73.3°C/-99.9°F set in 1966. Must be because of global warming! Hat/tip: http://www.kaltesonne.de/

Geologist Dr. Sebastian Lüning’s and Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt’s website looks at the NOAA’s and NCDC’s relentless search for new climate records with which to scare the public. But as they show, despite what these alarmists conjure up, the warming is not getting faster, period. Figure 1: Temperature development of the last 33 years based on […]

In the 5-minute video below, there are lots of statements made that are worth quoting. Many are from environmentalists who now seem to realize something went horribly wrong. “Green yes, but not like this!” One of my favorites is by Justin Lindholm at the 4:35 mark: Maybe 10,000 years from now they’ll come around and wonder […]

It turns out that some earlier interglacials were much warmer than the current one and that the variations cannot be explained by greenhouse gases alone. Source: Alfred Wegener Instutute A new temperature reconstruction suggests that (NATURAL) feedback mechanisms and amplifiers had to be at play. […]
