According to a new study, Greenland temperature stations indicate there was an abrupt 2.9°C warming trend from 1922-1932 (10 years) that was almost identical to the 3.1°C warming trend from 1993-2007 (14 years). Between the two warming periods (identified as WP1 and WP2 in the study) was an overall ~3°C cooling from 1933-1992. Thus, as […]

“Observations show no significant decline in Arctic sea ice concentration (SIC) since 2012…revealing a negligible trend of -0.4% per decade…” – Wang et al., 2025 Scientists are now acknowledging the sharply declining trend in Arctic sea ice from the mid-1990s to 2010s (-11.3% per decade), as well as the “negligible” or flat trend since 2012 […]

Late summer Arctic sea ice extent has remained steady for almost 2 decades. In the late 2000s, experts and climate bedwetters, like Al Gore – warned the late summer Arctic sea ice would disappear already by 2015. That prediction has yet to even come anywhere near close to happening. According to the US National Snow […]

Another year, another well-above-average (1981-2010 mean) snow and ice accumulation on the Greenland ice sheet (indicated by the blue vs. gray trend lines, right chart). The net mass gain (blue) again exceeded the net mass loss (red) during 2024-2025. Image Source: Polar Portal The Greenland Ice Sheet melt percentage and surface temperature have been […]

In 2007 Al Gore won a Nobel Peace prize for predicting summer (September) Arctic sea ice would “vanish” in the next 5 to 7 years, or by 2014. Since 2007 Arctic sea ice extent (SIE) losses have ceased. Instead, the SIE trend has been stable for nearly two decades (Stern, 2025). “Before 2007, September SIE […]

Holocene (11,700 to 8,200 years ago) Arctic (Svalbard) temperatures “were up to 9°C higher than today” according to the authors of a new Nature journal study. At that time CO2 was thought to only hover around 260 ppm. Svalbard then cooled as CO2 rose for the next 8,000 years – a negative correlation that wholly […]

A recent paper explains how a weaker Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could actually reduce Arctic warming by the end of the century… …despite the overall trend of Arctic amplification (“the disproportionate warming of the Arctic compared to the global average.”) Symbol image. Source: NASA The study shows that a weakening AMOC can partially counteract […]

By Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt If you look at the climate website of the Helmholtz Association with the ambitious name “Climate Facts” under Antarctica, you will read the following: “The important mainland ice of Antarctica is disappearing, and at an increasing rate”. According to the Helmholtz Association, this is of great significance for rising sea levels. […]

“Will dissuade people from climate doomism,” researcher hopes. Ice sheet runoff at the coast has much less impact on the AMOC than melting ice bergs ou to sea do. We hear it again and again: the melting ice in Greenland due to global warming will soon lead to a collapse of the Gulf Stream system, […]

The alarmist narrative that says disappearing sea ice serves to enhance and worsen global warming may now be discarded. For decades it has been assumed the sea ice concentration (SIC) reduction trend in the the Arctic over the first 30 years of the satellite era (1979-2007, with a flat trend since then) would lead to […]

Germany’s Klimanachrichten here presents peer-reviewed climate science that shows permafrost is not really a tipping point we need to worry about. Here’s the text of what is reported on the video: “Permafrost soils store a lot of CO2 and are often described as a critical tipping element in the Earth system, which suddenly and globally […]

CO2 theory called into question…inconvenient truths emerge A new study by Bierman et al titled: Plant, insect, and fungi fossils under the center of Greenland’s ice sheet are evidence of ice-free times, shows that “in the middle of Greenland, where a three-kilometer-thick ice sheet now sits, plants and insects once flourished and at CO2 levels […]
