Permafrost Far More Stable Than Claimed…German Expert Calls Danger Of It Thawing Out “Utter Imbicility”!
Die Welt blogger and science journalist Ulli Kulke writes here about how another scare story (melting permafrost) is a load of “imbecility”. In the above paper, permafrost expert Georg Delisle shows that permafrost scare is irrational bedwetting. Source: Poster Bad Honnef. Some alarmist scientists claim melting permafrost could lead to a dangerous “tipping point” as [...]
Leading Austrian Climatologist Reinhard Böhm Dead – Authored Over 150 Papers On Climate And Glaciers
It saddens us to report that prominent Austrian climatologist Reinhard Böhm has died unexpectedly, Der Spiegel reports. He was 64. Leading Austrian climate scientist Reinhard Böhm (64) dies. (Photo source: ZAMG) News of his death was made public by the Central Office for Meteorology and Geodynamics in Vienna (ZAMG). Spiegel calls him the “father of [...]
It’s The Soot Stupid! Leading Environmental Group NABU Says Soot Is 50% Responsible For Arctic Warming
With every passing year we get without global warming, CO2 loses more and more of its credibility as the cause for climate change. So what to do? Move on to another issue that will do just as well. Blame it on soot from automobiles and industry, and push for lots of regulation. Black soot is responsible [...]
“Thing Of The Past” Now A Thing Of August! Snow Blankets Alps Down To Less Than 1600 Meters!
A sudden blast of cold polar air accompanied by heavy precipitation led to heavy snowfall in the Alps at levels below 1600 meters. Read here (in German). Snow falls in August under 1600 meters elevation in southern Germany. Up to 35 cm of snow fell at some locations. Wetter.24 reports: Low pressure system “Christine” delivered [...]
Multiple Glacier Studies Show Wide Holocene Climate Variations In Asia And Europe
A recent study by A.R. Agatova et al investigated glacier dynamic and climatic variations in the southeastern part of the Russian Altai during the last 7000 years and show distinct natural climatic changes had occurred. Not surprisingly, these changes coincide with changes occurring at other parts of the globe, and so add to the massive [...]
Papers Showing Sun As Main Driver Keep Rolling In – IPCC Focus On CO2 Looking More Like A Delusional Obsession
Dr. Sebastian Lüning (geologist) and Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt (chemist) at their website here discuss a recent (peer-reviewed) paper appearing in the journal Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology. I’ve translated and edited the text in English with their kind permission. Oases of the Chinese Taklamakan Desert Greened Up In Sync With Solar Millenial Cycles by Sebastian Lüning and Fritz [...]
New Paper: Large Greenland Glaciers Ending On Land Or In Fjords “Have Hardly Changed Or Have Even Become Slower”!
A new paper has been published by Twila Moon et al titled: 21st-Century Evolution of Greenland Outlet Glacier Velocities appearing in the journal Science. Lead author Twila Moon finds that claims of rapid Greenland glacier acceleration are massively overstated. The study contradicts all the bedwetting projections made by the crackpots at NASA or the PIK in Potsdam. The [...]
Klaus-Eckart Puls: Sea Level Rise Is Slowing Down – “There’s Going To Be No Acceleration”
Veteran meteorologist Klaus-Eckart Puls made a presentation on sea level at the 4th climate conference in Munich at the end of last year. The data are clear: sea level rise is slowing down. Here are the data Puls presents: 0:35 – Not everyone is convinced sea levels will rise quickly. Qatar just built a stadium [...]
Major Face Palm! New Satellite Measurements Show HIMALAYAN GLACIERS ARE GROWING!
German flagship news magazine Der Spiegel reports here on new satellite measurements of Himalayan glaciers. Not long ago IPCC scientists, among them Prof. Hans-Joachim Schellnhuber and train engineer Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, claimed with grave tones that the Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2030. Hat-tip: a NTZ reader. That, among other errors, fantasies and exaggerations, turned out [...]
It’s The Claim “Antarctica Is Warming” That Is Disintegrating – And Not Much Else
Rudolf Kipp has written an essay on the false alarmism surrounding a warming Antarctica. What follows is the English version: ============================================ Every Year The Same Story – Ice Melt in Antarctica By Rudolf Kipp The topic of this article ought to handled in short order. When you take a look at the data from Antarctica, [...]
Veteran Meteorologist On PIK Greenland Scenario: “Oracle of Delphi…They’ve Opened Up The Seven Seals!”
Prophetic revelations of disturbing end of world visions… PIK Makes The Ice Melt Away By Meteorologist Klaus Eckart Puls (Translated, condensed by P Gosselin) The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid recently came out with computer-model generated scenarios showing that Greenland would melt away [1]. This scenario of [...]
Der Spiegel Warned Of Warming In 1948, Then Cooling In 1974, And Again Warming In 1986!
Jeez…can’t these guys make up their minds! Here’s Der Spiegel writing about global warming in 1948, just 26 years before it warned the planet was cooling (1974), read that here, which was only 12 years before they again warned of warming (1986), read it here! The 1948 piece is titled: It’s getting warmer on the planet. Below are [...]
New Tree Ring Study Shows Little Ice Age And Medieval Warm Period Were Global
A new paper here on the Jorge Montt Glacier at the Chilean Patagonia is out in Climate of the Past journal. What’s interesting is that this glacier is located in Chile – in South America, far away from the North Atlantic region. A team of scientists studied tree rings from old trees recently exposed by the retreating [...]
Is Permafrost Methane A Climate Time Bomb? “Only in Scenarios – Not In Reality” Says German Permafrost Scientist
It amazes me how the media take a non-story and inflate it into a “climate time-bomb”. The Sueddeutsche Zeitung has an interview today with Dr. Hans-Wolfgang Hubberten, a director at the Alfred-Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), who has been studying the permafrost in Siberia for 20 years now. Not surprisingly he sees signs of some [...]
