For awhile it appeared the German mainstream media were going to ignore the reality that the globe hasn’t warmed since the issue has been around (15 years). But last Friday, Spiegel here was the first major German media outlet to break the ice and asked where the warming’s gone?” Read about it here. Saturdays’s major […]

Spiegel has finally gotten around to conceding that global warming has ended, at least for the time being. Yesterday Spiegel science journalist Axel Bojanowski published a piece called: Klimawandel: Forscher rätseln über Stillstand bei Erderwärmung (Climate change: scientists baffled by the stop in global warming). We’ve been waiting for this admission a long time, and […]

I commented at Facebook about Lance Armstrong earlier today, writing that I had pretty much lost respect for Lance when he paired up with jet-setting climate activist and “rock star” Sheryl Crow, and watching John Kerry acting like his best fan at the 2004 Tour. Today it doesn’t surprise me that he has turned out […]

Arctic sea ice extent today is, for all practical purposes, BACK TO NORMAL! Chart source: http://www.ijis.iarc.uaf.edu/en/home/seaice_extent.htm. That return to normal only means one thing. The “dramatic melt” of August 2012 had to have been reversed completely by an equally dramatic refreeze this winter. Unfortunately we’re not going to find any news stories about that in the media, are […]

The European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE) has been looking at the temperature trends for Germany. The German media, politicians and institutes have been insisting that warming and climate change are happening faster than ever. However, this claim is completely foreign to reality. ========================================= Climate change in Germany is cooling. No increasing temperatures in […]

The PIK has issued a press release on another one of its patently alarmist, statistically selective and manipulative studies, BASED ON MODELS, claiming the end of the world is near. I’m sure this study will be shown to be preposterous in just a matter of days. No matter, the German media can hardly contain itself. […]

If there ever was a confirmation that the UN climate conferences have been a total failure, then this is it. According to the German Press Agency (dpa), Germany is now looking for partners in order to found a “coalition of the willing” for implementing the transition to renewable energies. Apparently, the creation of green jobs and […]

And the headlines of bitter cold have not been limited to Russia, Siberia, Mongolia and China, but also to subtropical regions, way down in southern Asia. People there have been dying of record cold. FOCUS magazine here reports that also “Bangladesh is shivering under a […]

Earlier this week I featured a shocking video of a workcrew taking down the active nest of a pair of bald eagles in Ontario – to make way for wind turbines. Video made by: http://ontario-wind-resistance.org/ Ever since, there’s been harsh media coverage about that event, for example here: No room for eagles in green energy […]
