New Study: People Distressed, Anxious About Climate Have Less 'Climate-Specific Knowledge'

New Study: People Distressed, Anxious About Climate Have Less ‘Climate-Specific Knowledge’

Share this… Facebook Twitter“The degree of one’s emotions varies inversely with one’s knowledge of the facts, the less you know the hotter you get.” – Bertrand Russell Per a new study, people who are less knowledgeable about the climate and environment are more likely to experience climate change anxiety (e.g., “I find myself crying because […]

New Study: Climate Models Have Uncertainties, Errors Over 100x Larger Than Claimed Drivers Of Warming

New Study: Climate Models Have Uncertainties, Errors Over 100x Larger Than Claimed Drivers Of Warming

Share this… Facebook TwitterPer a new study on the hydrological cycle’s role in climate change, today’s state-of-the-art climate models “assume the mean relative humidity at the ocean surface is constant.” They are also known to “assume unchanged wind conditions.” Even with this imaginary constancy, “uncertainties in modeling the hydrological cycle significantly [orders of magnitude, or […]

Are ENSO Regime Changes Connected To Major Climate Shifts? Are We Tipping To Cooling?

Are ENSO Regime Changes Connected To Major Climate Shifts? Are We Tipping To Cooling?

Share this… Facebook TwitterBy Gabriel Oxenstierna We’ve had a La Niña for nearly three years. But now it has officially ended, and ENSO has moved into its neutral phase, the “La Nada”.[1] The La Niña event lasted three winters in a row, something that has only occurred twice before in modern times: 1973–1976 and 1998–2001.

Nature Geoscience: "Eastern Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet HAS GROWN Over Last 20 Years"

Nature Geoscience: “Eastern Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet HAS GROWN Over Last 20 Years”

Share this… Facebook TwitterThe German Klimaschau here presents a new video, this one featuring a new study on the Antarctic Ice Shelf published in Nature Geoscience: Ice sheet “has grown” According to a University of Cambridge press release dated May 13, 2022, “The eastern Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet has grown in area over the last […]

Most Of The Pacific Ocean's Volume Has Undergone Intensifying Cooling Since 1993

Most Of The Pacific Ocean’s Volume Has Undergone Intensifying Cooling Since 1993

Share this… Facebook TwitterThe Pacific Ocean is 5 to 6 km deep. New research indicates the bottom half (2 km to the bottom) of the Pacific has been robustly cooling since 1993.  A new preprint details the “surprising” Pacific cooling pattern from two ocean heat content (OHC) datasets over the 1993-2017 period. Most OHC records […]

Pre-1970s 'Global' Sea Surface Temp Measurements Are No More Reliable Or Accurate Than Guessing

Pre-1970s ‘Global’ Sea Surface Temp Measurements Are No More Reliable Or Accurate Than Guessing

Share this… Facebook TwitterThe accuracy of the long-term global instrumental temperature record – especially the data obtained before the 1970s – wholly rests on the assumption that sailors obtained precisely reliable temperature measurements as they pulled wooden or canvas buckets out of the water from ships at random depths, locations, and times of day. They […]

'A Significant And Robust Cooling Trend' In The Southern Ocean From 1982–2020 Defies Climate Models

‘A Significant And Robust Cooling Trend’ In The Southern Ocean From 1982–2020 Defies Climate Models

Share this… Facebook TwitterA new study reports there has been a -0.3°C cooling in the Southern Ocean since 1982 per multiple observational data sets. The authors detail the “failure of CMIP5 models in simulating the observed SST cooling in the Southern Ocean.” The Southern Ocean is today about 1-2°C colder than it has been for […]

South America's Sea Levels Were Multiple Meters Higher And SSTs 2-5°C Warmer Until Recent Centuries

South America’s Sea Levels Were Multiple Meters Higher And SSTs 2-5°C Warmer Until Recent Centuries

Share this… Facebook TwitterSeveral new and recent studies have affirmed that the waters surrounding South America – from Peru to Chile to Argentina to Brazil – were several degrees warmer and sea levels multiple meters higher than today until the Little Ice Age centuries. A new study suggests ~4,000 to 5,000 years ago coastal Argentina’s […]

Radiosonde Temps Show Northern Hemisphere, Tropical Warming Has Mostly Paused Since 1998

Radiosonde Temps Show Northern Hemisphere, Tropical Warming Has Mostly Paused Since 1998

Share this… Facebook TwitterA new study indicates nearly all the Northern Hemisphere and Tropical warming in the last 40 years occurred by the late 1990s. CO2 has risen by about 50 ppm since 1998 (367 to 418 ppm). Interestingly, upper-air measurements of temperature from balloon-borne sensor radiosonde data, shown below in the image from a […]

New Study: Half The 2000-2019 Global Ocean Warming Has Been From Internal Fluxes, Not Surface Forcing

New Study: Half The 2000-2019 Global Ocean Warming Has Been From Internal Fluxes, Not Surface Forcing

Share this… Facebook TwitterSince 2000 there has been a natural reduction in net air-sea fluxes at the same time there has been rapid warming in the Indian Ocean. This affirms anthropogenic surface forcing cannot explain the recent warming in at least half the global ocean. The Indian Ocean covers approximately 20% of the ocean surface, […]

Global Sea Surface Temperature Records Suggest Only Modest Warming In The 20th And 21st Centuries

Global Sea Surface Temperature Records Suggest Only Modest Warming In The 20th And 21st Centuries

Share this… Facebook TwitterGlobal sea surface temperatures have only been warming at a rate of about 0.06°C per decade since 1950. According to Dieng et al., 2017, global sea surface temperatures (SST) cooled slightly (-0.006°C/decade) from 2003 to 2013. This reduced the overall 1950-2014 warming rate to 0.059°C per decade. Image Source: Dieng et al., […]

Share this… Facebook Twitter How close is the tipping point? New studies on the Atlantic current system assess the threshold between natural fluctuations and a climate change-driven evolution 25 April, 2022/Kiel, Germany. With a new publication in the scientific journal Nature Climate Change, researchers from Kiel once again contribute to the understanding of changes in […]
