The globe may have only warmed by 0.41 to 0.83°C in the last 140 years. According to a new study, weather station data has been shown to non-climatically and erroneously record warmer-than-actual temperatures due to the steady and perpetual aging process almost universally observed in temperature gauges. When a weather station temperature gauge’s white paint […]

The radiation budget changes shaping trends in global dimming (cooling) and global brightening (warming) are driven by cloud cover changes, which are themselves modulated by internal deep ocean processes. A new study assesses the associated factors in North Atlantic climate variations, noting how critical clouds are in modulating Earth’s Energy Imbalance (EEI). “Cloudiness is the […]

“The heat retention in the greenhouse Earth is caused by all gas components…mainly by nitrogen and oxygen. It is not permissible to exclusively assign the GH effect of 33° to water vapour, CO2, and the other trace gases.” – Ullmann and Bülow, 2024 Chemical physicists Helmut Ullmann and Martin Bülow have published a new paper […]

Per a new study, the last 200 years of global warming are associated with cloud cover decline, and this decreasing cloud albedo can be linked to “the dominant roles of external forces – volcanic, solar, and oceanic – in their mutual influence after the LIA [Little Ice Age].” Scientists have repeatedly reported a satellite-observed (CERES) […]

When assessing the climate-altering effects of downwelling longwave radiation, the root mean square error associated with calculating this value is 29.7 W/m². For some reason, scientists characterize measurements with an observation error this large as “high accuracy”. In an imaginary world where no clouds exist (clear-sky), the surface longwave downward radiation (LWDR) calculated for a […]

Yet another scientific study concludes CO2 is an insignificant contributor to Earth’s recent temperature changes. New research involving a comparative analysis of satellite (CERES) observations of absorbed solar radiation (ASR) and CO2 radiative forcing modeling finds CO2 may have contributed just 0.09°C to the 0.52°C temperature increase from 2000 to 2023. The rising ASR trend […]

Climate models failed to simulate the observed 1970-2014 Pacific Ocean cooling. The 21st century southwestern US megadrought has been linked to this cooling, which “may have been caused by a forced response to greenhouse gas emissions.” A new study provides a fresh look at the circular, self-contradictory reasoning that proponents of the anthropogenic global warming […]

To claim that anthropogenic CO2 emissions drive global warming, radiative forcing modeling studies must assume 1) clouds do not ever change, 2) cloud albedo is constant, and/or 3) clouds do not exist. None of these are real-world conditions. The real atmosphere is what scientists refer to as all-sky, an atmosphere where clouds not only exist […]

“Earth’s energy imbalance has doubled from 0.5 ± 0.2 W/m² during the first 10 years of this century to 1.0 ± 0.2 W/m² during the past decade. The increase is the result of a 0.9 ± 0.3 W/m² increase absorbed solar radiation (ASR)…” − Loeb et al., 2024 Satellite observations from CERES (Clouds and the […]

“…sea surface temperature has been the primary determinant of baseline atmospheric P(CO2) across the entire Cenozoic” – Frank, 2024 A new study analyzes paleo atmospheric CO2 levels using the modern-day observation that oceans release more CO2 as they warm and less CO2 as they cool – a reference to Henry’s Law. “…ambient CO2 is released […]

“The main factor governing the annual increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration is the SST [sea surface temperature] rather than human emissions.” – Ato, 2024 Another day, another new scientific paper has been published reporting efforts to curb anthropogenic CO2 emissions are “meaningless.” In this study multiple linear regression analysis was performed comparing SST versus anthropogenic […]

“Clearly, the atmospheric CO2 observation data are not consistent with the climate narrative. Rather, they contradict it.” – Koutsoyiannis, 2024 Per a new study, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) utilizes “inappropriate assumption and speculation,” as well as non-real-world models of “imaginary data,” to claim CO2 emissions derived from fossil fuel burning function “weirdly,” […]
