A documentary dubbed “The Weather Machine” produced in 1975 – long before NASA fiddled with the data – warned of an impending ice age (10:35), and maintained that the globe is cooling. Hat-tip: reader The Indomitable Snowman. The documentary attempted and succeeded at presenting the latest on climate change at the time. Changing climate accepted as normal […]

More Wind Turbines, More Habitat Harm, Loss Scientists (Krekel and Zerrahn, 2017 ) report that the installation of wind turbines near human populations “exerts significant negative external effects on residential well-being” and a “significant negative and sizable effect on life satisfaction” due to “unpleasant noise emissions” and “negative impacts on landscape aesthetics”. “We show that the […]

German skeptic and weather expert ‘Schneefan’ here writes how climate activist Mark C. Serreze recently announced this year’s sea ice extent was at the smallest all-time area.

Public opinion of wind energy in Germany, once unanimously high, has eroded considerably over the past years as more people begin to realize that the country’s once idyllic countryside is turning into a blighted industrial landscape.

A remarkably unsophisticated paper was published a few months ago curiously entitled Internet Blogs, Polar Bears, and Climate-Change Denial by Proxy. Among the list of co-authors of Harvey et al. (2017) are two rather familiar names in climate science circles: Michael E. Mann and Stephan Lewandowsky. The 14 authors liberally utilize name-calling and broad-brushed […]

The article that follows below is from the UK online Independent here. Regrettably the editors screwed up and inserted the wrong English text in the video and misidentified the participants as well. The discussion is in fact about CO2 being the sole real driver of global climate. Moreover, the talk round took place in London, and not Egypt. This […]

UPDATE:Hat-tip: Kenneth Graph showing increasing Adélie penguin numbers during 1982-2015 Che-Castaldo et al., 2017 “We found a marked and steady increase in [Adélie penguin] abundance around the rest of the Antarctic continent, including both Eastern Antarctica and the Ross Sea [during 1982-2015].” Scientists have historically determined that increasing Adélie penguin numbers seem to coincide with […]

“We now seriously need a Schellnhuber timeout. […] We do hope the new PIK leadership will correct the extreme direction the institute is currently on and rapidly puts an end to the flow of climate-alarmist press releases.“ At their Die kalte Sonne site here, Dr. Sebastian Lüning and Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt comment on Prof. Hans-Joachim […]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNupy65SURo Comedy clubs aren’t usually thought of as venues for serious debate about controversial topics like climate change. And yet in a rare debate opportunity, Harvard-Smithsonian Center astrophysicist Dr. Willie Soon took full advantage of the short time he had available to him. He critiqued “consensus” science, the ocean acidification narrative, the poverty-inducing reliance on wind and […]

A new study shows that the Antarctic Ice Shelf has been thickening – in times of global warming. Logic: Global warming cannot be the driving factor for Antarctic ice shelf mass, let alone CO2. ===================================== West Antarctic Ice Shelf: El Nino takes, La Nina gives By Dr. Sebastian Lüning and Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt (German text translated/edited by […]
