Jochem Marotzke, Director of Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPIM), says we would have to wait 20 years before seeing any impact on climate from CO2 reductions, based on model simulations. Climate variability prevails… ===================================================== Reduction of CO2 emissions possibly would have no effect on climate over the coming 20 years By Die kalte […]

People familiar with the chaos that is weather will agree that seasonal forecasts based merely on computer simulations are highly speculative and involve much guesswork. The quality of their output leaves little to be desired. As much as some of these forecasts may be presented with authoritative tones, in the end they all come with a […]

• CO2 emissions from termites are more than double human emissions from fossil fuels. Image sources: New York Times, 1982, Zimmerman et al., 1982 • Termite populations have been observed expanding rapidly in recent decades. Image Source: Grace, 2006 Image Source: Buczkowski and Bertelsmeier, 2017 • CO2 emissions from soil is 9 times greater than human CO2 […]

Unmasking Marcott’s “Uptick” 20th century “uptick” from Marcott et al., 2013, RealClimate.org Almost immediately after it was introduced to the public, the lead author of Marcott et al. (2013) squelched the narrative that said the hockey-stick-shaped reconstruction he and his colleagues produced is a robust representation of modern global-scale temperature changes. In an interview with Marcott published […]

By Kirye The media, alarmist scientists and many leading policymakers often tell the public “the Arctic is rapidly melting”. And if a poll were done today, a vast majority of the people in Japan and elsewhere would say this is true. Unfortunately they have become the victims of “fake news”. Luckily we have some hard […]

The Swiss online Basel BAZ news site reported yesterday how the Yellow Vest fossil fuel tax protests have spread across Belgium and into the Netherlands, and so threaten to become a European phenomenon. Previously it was thought that a move away from fossil fuels and higher taxes on them were the will of the people […]

By Kirye Increasing CO2 in the atmosphere is supposed to be trapping heat and thus warming the global temperature. But when we look at the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) statistics from my home country of Japan, one does not find any such warming over the recent decades. I looked at the number of so-called cold […]
