Russian Sulfur Dioxide May Be The Cause Of Arctic Warming
Sulfur Dioxide and Arctic Warming By Ed Caryl Sulfur dioxide, SO2, is not a greenhouse gas. But it should not be ignored when discussing climate. We know that the SO2 injected into the stratosphere by large volcanoes such as Agung, El Chichon, and Pinatubo, can cause cooling for a period of years. This is because [...]
New Paper: Large Greenland Glaciers Ending On Land Or In Fjords “Have Hardly Changed Or Have Even Become Slower”!
A new paper has been published by Twila Moon et al titled: 21st-Century Evolution of Greenland Outlet Glacier Velocities appearing in the journal Science. Lead author Twila Moon finds that claims of rapid Greenland glacier acceleration are massively overstated. The study contradicts all the bedwetting projections made by the crackpots at NASA or the PIK in Potsdam. The [...]
Germany’s $3-Million “Energy-Efficient Test Home Of The Future” Flops
The European Institute for Climate and Energy takes a look at how Germany’s experimental taxpayer-paid “energy-efficient home” is doing. The home is a project by the German Federal Ministry for Transportation, Construction and Urban Development (BMVBS). As you can see, it leaves little to be desired aesthetically. The ugly-duckling energy self-sustainable home that isn’t. Erected [...]
Mama Mia! Italian Paleoclimatologists Discover Little Ice Age Extended Well Beyond North Atlantic Region
Dr. Sebastian Lünning’s and Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt’s climate website Die kalte Sonne, has a report on a paper on the Maunder Minimum in the Journal The Holocene. What follows is a translation in English: Study by Diodato and Bellocchi show that Little Ice Age was not restricted to North Atlantic region (Painting by Hendrick Barentsz) The [...]
Germany Succeeds Making Energy Unaffordable For 15% Of Its Population – 600,000 Households Disconnected Annually!
Every year 600,000 households (2 million people) are getting their power switched off in Germany because they can’t afford the skyrocketing electric bills. At that rate the country (population 80 million) will become blacked-out like North Korea by 2050. Renewable energy boom leaves Germans in the dark. It’s one way of reducing carbon emissions – [...]
Der Spiegel Reports On Germany’s “Setting Sun” – The Collapse Of The Solar Industry
Countries like the USA who have been seduced by German socialists and Greens into thinking that solar energy and green energy feed-in schemes are a job creator and an engine to prosperity ought to think again. Der Spiegel reports. Eastern Germany Hit Hard by Decline of Solar By Charles Hawley The global solar industry has entered [...]
German Insurance Industry Fanning The Fears Of “Climate Change” – Takes Over At The IPCC To Cash In
The insurance industry is one of the primary beneficiaries of the climate change panic. The more people fear climate-related disaster, the more inclined they’ll be to buy up insurance or to pay higher premiums. No industry has a a greater interest in fanning climate panic than the insurance industry. Hat-tip: a reader. Media and the New York Times [...]
Tim McCarver Nominated For 2012 Nobel Physics Prize – McCarver’s Theory: Home Runs Correlate With CO2!
And thus he has a good shot of joining the elite ranks of Nobel Laureates along with the esteemed Al Gore and the IPCC. Hat-tip: Hot Air. Will Tim McCarver be nominated for the 2012 Nobel Prize for Physics? If anyone needed more evidence that climate change science has become completely irrational and idiotic, here’s [...]
The Green Wave – How Vermont Protects the Environment (Warning: Graphic Photos!)
Last fall I wrote about how self-anointed environmental mastermind politicians in my homestate of Vermont bulldozed public opposition, lots of trees and finally the top of Lowell Mountain to make way for “climate-saving” 450-foot industrial wind turbines. Read here and here. Here’s how environmental protection by these political environmental pimps appears so far, hat-tip: energizevermont.org. Crushed [...]
Russian Lake Vostok Scientists Say “New Ice Age Is Unavoidable”
Someone forgot to tell the Russians that natural climate factors no longer count for anything, and that from the 20th century on man-made CO2 is the sole driver of the climate – now making the Earth only warmer and warmer. Lake Vostok under almost 4000 meters of ice in Antarctica. Source: US Government. The German edition [...]
No Relation Found Between Cosmic Rays And Atmospheric Transmission
On Cosmic Rays and Clouds By Ed Caryl There have been several papers and articles recently about Svensmark’s theory that claim cosmic rays produce cloud nuclei, which in turn produce clouds that affect the Earth’s climate. My recent article showed the relationship between atmospheric transmission, the Earth’s albedo, and temperature. Photo by Krish Dulal. If [...]
Klaus-Eckart Puls: Sea Level Rise Is Slowing Down – “There’s Going To Be No Acceleration”
Veteran meteorologist Klaus-Eckart Puls made a presentation on sea level at the 4th climate conference in Munich at the end of last year. The data are clear: sea level rise is slowing down. Here are the data Puls presents: 0:35 – Not everyone is convinced sea levels will rise quickly. Qatar just built a stadium [...]
Mann’s End
Chris Horner posted a video on Facebook a few a hours ago where he reviews and brings us up to date on the efforts by the University of Virginia faculty to defy the law of the land by refusing to release taxpayer-owned documents surrounding Climategate. There must be some something really embarrassing that needs to stay [...]
Radiation Balance Variables Put CO2 In The Back Seat As A Driver
By Ed Caryl The sun supplies about 1360 watts per square meter to the Earth as seen by satellites at the top of the atmosphere. This power varies by about 1.3 watts over the 11-year solar cycle. Energy is reflected back to space by clouds and the earth’s surface. Some energy is radiated to space [...]
