Abrupt, dramatic climate changes happen naturally. Scientists find Sahara went from green to parched in just a matter of decades. Symbol image generated by Grok AI. The claim that human emissions are causing the climate to change dramatically and abruptly is used to instill fear among the population. Without human emissions, the climate would still […]

Studies from Central China, Russia, and Central Europe indicate there was just as much (0r more) warming and drought prior to 1900, or when CO2 concentrations were under 300 ppm. A new 1606 to 2016 Central China winter (minimum) temperature reconstruction (Jiang et al., 2024) reveals cold periods only occurred in 9 years of the […]

Paleoclimate evidence affirms warmth reduces drought frequency and intensity. A new study utilizes Asian tree pollen records to affirm that for the last 8000 years centennial-scale warming periods were associated with reductions in drought, famines, crop failures. “…warm periods were associated with increased precipitation along with relatively short-lived drought events.” In contrast, centuries of cooling […]

North Africa seems to be greening as a result of climate change, which mostly occurs naturally. Satellite photos and studies have shown that the Sahara desert has been shrinking over the past 40 years, e.g. read here and here. The latest news is from the southeastern Moroccan desert, which is among the driest around the […]

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 […]
