Share this… Facebook Twitter“In a modified experiment, where IR emission from the heating source is present, no heating but a slight cooling of a black object is found when air is replaced by CO2. The modified experimental situation is also more like the earth/atmosphere situation.” – Seim and Olsen, 2023 Scientists Hermann Harde and Michael […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterAnything but certain… By AR Göhring, EIKE Source: https://www.mdpi.com/2225-1154/11/9/179 A highly topical peer-reviewed study in the scientific magazine “climate” proves on the basis of measured data that the “man-made” climate change claimed by the media and politicians is anything but certain. 37 international scientists from different institutions statistically examined public data on […]

Share this… Facebook Twitter“Climatological models…pretend on a long-term description of the atmosphere…ignoring physical laws in climatology.” – Smirnov, 2022 “[T]he Kirchoff law is neglected in climatological models. This leads to a large mistake in prediction of the global temperature change.” “[D]oubling the concentration of atmospheric CO2 molecules leads to the following change of the global […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterThere is a “direct link” between the location of origin for recent ice melt in Antarctica and geothermal heat flow. High geothermal heat flow (GHF) is mostly why Antarctic ice melts, not “atmospheric and ocean forcing,” which is what has been commonly thought until recently (Haeger et al., 2023). Even though atmospheric […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterOver the last 210 million years [Myr], (a) CO2 falls as temperatures rise (negative correlation, r = -0.76), (b) mass extinctions occur 4.08 Myr after CO2 peaks, and (c) global warming/CO2 radiative forcing “did not cause extinction of biodiversity.” A new study has been published in Earth’s Future journal that supplements a […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterExamining the beliefs underpinning the assumption that humans are heating up the planet can be enlightening. A book focusing on CO2 storage has recently been published by two geophysicists (Amundsen and Landro, 2023). Using insights from Svante Arrhenius, the late 19th century founding “father of climate change,” the authors assess that the […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterThe higher temperatures are clearly attributable to a reduction in cloud cover, not CO2 The DIY way to demystify “greenhouse gas” claims Rapidly rising temperatures and drought in parts of central Europe are caused by a long-term trend of receding cloud cover. Fewer clouds result in increased solar energy influx and reduced […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterFrom 14,000 to 45,000 years ago, when the atmospheric CO2 values were said to be under 200 ppm, California lakes record millennial-scale mean annual air temperature (MAAT) variations of over 12°C and intervals when it was nearly 4°C warmer than modern. Per a new paleotemperature reconstruction (Olson et al., 2023) from a […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterData analysis again reveals the increase in absorbed shortwave forcing has been driving modern climate change since the 1970s. CO2 changes are more of an effect than a cause of temperature increases. Scientists have for years been pointing to the causality sequencing problem inherent in the claim that CO2 is the driver […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterA new study exposes the uncertainty in solar activity reconstructions, but suggests solar models explain climate changes far better than atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Proxy model estimates of the impact of solar variability on climate are highly uncertain. For example, estimations of the increase in solar irradiance over the last 400 years range […]
