Activists claim that today’s coral bleaching events are not only unprecedented, but reefs will soon disappear. In contrast, scientists have determined that modern-day bleaching events are not unusual or unprecedented, but only a continuation of a naturally-occurring phenomenon. A […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterGoogle+emailRecent research has emphasized that “critical mysteries remain” in our ability to quantify or even understand carbon cycle processes as they relate to Earth’s water bodies. Observational constraints prevent the detection of an anthropogenic signal in ocean carbon uptake trends on decadal timescales (McKinley et al., 2017). Many new papers even contradict the IPCC-endorsed […]

In contrast, during the Holocene the oceans naturally warmed at a rate and magnitude several […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterGoogle+emailDespite hysterical headlines from the fake media claiming the weather is weirding out due to man-made climate change, recent studies show that it’s mostly superstition and that our modern climate in fact is well within the range of natural climate variability. If one really wants to understand today’s weather and climate, it is essential to […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterGoogle+emailIn the past it has been widely reported that high and abruptly changing CO2 concentrations during the Permian led to climate conditions that were “too hot for complex life to survive” on the planet. Today, scientists have determined that the opposite may be true: the Permian mass extinction event occurred during a period of […]
