In recent decades there have been “notable cooling trends” throughout many regions of the globe according to several new studies. A year ago NoTricksZone (NTZ) announced Greenland Has Been Cooling In Recent Years – 26 Of Its 47 Largest Glaciers Now Stable Or Gaining Ice. Six months ago NTZ cited several scientific papers indicating The […]

Temperature stations along the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula indicate “marked statistically signficant cooling” has occurred since 1991, with the Larsen Ice Shelf cooling at a rate of -1.1°C per decade. Image Source: Bozkurt et al., 2020 Bozkurt et al., 2020 “Observed near-surface temperature trends indicate important contrasts between summer and autumn for the period 1991−2015. […]

Global warming should mean that the period of May 11-15 – known as the Ice Saints in Europe – when late spring frosts often occur, would become less frosty over the years. But the opposite has been the case since 1995. =============================================== Why have the Ice Saints gotten colder over the past 25 years? By […]

Unusual cold and snow are expected to sweep across North America and Europe over the coming days, thus threatening crops. Not that mid May is approaching, global warming alarmists tell us we should already be expecting heat waves. But right now the opposite is in the forecast: snow and extreme cold! Who would have thought? […]

At the end of the last glacial, when CO2 concentrations hovered around 250 ppm, there were abrupt warming and cooling events in the Spanish mountains (Béjar range) with magnitudes of 3°C within decades. Peak temperatures were at times warmer than today. It has often been claimed that abrupt warming and cooling events with amplitudes reaching […]

Reforestation removes CO2 from the atmosphere. Reforestation substantially cools the Earth’s land surfaces. Therefore, reforestation offers a “meaningful opportunity for local climate mitigation and adaptation”. So why are we focused on CO2 mitigation via reduction in fossil fuel use? Cooling the surface via reforestation A few months ago NoTricksZone featured a new study that determined […]

The latest NCEP GFS global temperature anomaly plot shows a sudden cool down is expected for the globe by May 6, with a downward trend since the beginning of the year. Hat-tip: Snowfan. Meanwhile some models are now suggesting La Niña thresholds could be met by September 2020, which would further cool the globe. Alaska […]

Geologist Dr. Sebastian Lüning just released a video that challenges the claim that today’s warming is unusual and caused mostly by human activities. While the video’s main focus is on Germany, it presents several key points that tell us why natural factors are just as much at play, if not more. Sea surface temperature fluctuations […]

March mean temperatures over Northern Europe showed an overall cooling trend and so with it a later start to spring, the data from the Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA) show. By Kirye and Pierre Gosselin Europe saw a very mild winter – one of the mildest on record – and so people living here believe it’s […]

By Kirye and Pierre Gosselin China has a widespread network of temperature stations used by NASA. Today we plot the NASA mean annual V4 unadjusted temperature data since 1997 for 18 stations situated in the northwest China Shinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, shown in the map below (blue dots): The plotted NASA data appear as follows: […]

Widespread frost to grip Europe The past winter has been an unusually mild one for most of Europe, which has led many people to think spring was here to stay. But the weather pattern has since switched. Instead of westerly winds bringing mild temperatures and rains across Europe, as they did all winter long, we […]

Donations now welcome! Before we jump into the data, readers may have noticed that NoTricksZone is now accepting donations – after close to 10 years of not doing so. Hosting services and the hourly rates specialists charge for troubleshooting are painfully expensive, and so any support, no matter how small, is very much appreciated. I’ve […]
