Share this…FacebookTwitterTwo new studies refer to the natural decline in cloud and aerosol reflectivity and consequent rise in incoming solar radiation or sunlight duration as the explanation for warming trends across Europe. CO2 is not even mentioned as a factor in climate change. Scientists point out that, for Europe, “the decrease in cloud cover is […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterCO2’s impact on the total net greenhouse effect (GHE) or longwave (LW) forcing trend has been offset by the dominant impact of cloud cover since the 1980s. It is now widely accepted that changes in clouds, naturally driven by changes in atmospheric circulation, “may be the most important parameter controlling the radiation budget, and, […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterA world renowned astrophysicist says the IPCC’s climate warnings cannot be taken seriously and that climate models use tricks to put the blame on CO2 Pierre Heumann at Weltwoche has a feature story on renowned Israeli astrophysicist, Nir Shaviv, professor at the Racah Institute of Physics, Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Hebrew University astrophysicist, Prof. Nir […]

Share this…FacebookTwitter In 2020, more than 400 scientific papers were published that cast doubt on the position that anthropogenic CO2 emissions function as the climate’s fundamental control knob…or that otherwise serve to question the efficacy of climate models or the related “consensus” positions commonly endorsed by policymakers and mainstream media sources. Over 400 scientific papers […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterOceans cover 71% of the Earth’s surface. An analysis of CO2’s radiative effect on ocean temperatures finds CO2 forcing is negligible even after reaching a concentration of 1,071 ppm. In the tropical oceans, 500 to 1,000 W/m² of solar radiation uniformly heats the first 2 meters of the ocean surface by 2 Kelvin in […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterHundreds of publications show how climate in many regions around the world varies in sync with solar activity. More evidence is provided by Japanese climate scientist Kyoji Kimoto. ======================================= Climate Change Governed By The Sun By guest author Kyoji Kimoto, kyoji@mirane.co.jp January 22, 2021 I’ve compiled a list of six examples how the sun […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterEuropean winter temperature variability is “dominated” by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), which is, in turn, modulated by solar activity. Even proponents of anthropogenic global warming (AGW) agree natural processes (AMO, NAO, ENSO, solar forcing, volcanism) drive temperature variability. But they insist the rising temperature trend is human-caused. So if we don’t have a […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterOur friend “Snowfan” here reports the sun has now gone 30 days without sunspots as we progress into solar cycle 25. A number of scientists have been warning that the earth may be heading into a cooling phase due to lower sunspot activity over the past 15 years. Is cooling in the works? Solar […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterEchoing the determination of NASA scientists, a new study suggests the natural variability in cloud cover allowing more solar radiation to be absorbed by the Earth’s oceans drove the 2014-2020 global warming. NASA scientists (Loeb et al., 2018) used satellite data to assess the 2014-2017 warming was driven by a +0.83 W/m² shortwave forcing due […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterThe magnitude of claimed global warming since the mid-1800s has tripled from 0.56°C to 1.72°C in the last few years. As recently as 1994, the IPCC claimed global surface temperatures had risen “0.3 to 0.6°C” (0.45°C) since 1861. By 2001, it was changed to 0.61°C warming from 1861 to 2000 (IPCC TAR 2001). Image […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterIn a new climate reconstruction for the Tibetan Plateau (Liang et al., 2020), scientists report a) the highest Holocene temperatures occurred about 8,500 to 6,000 years ago; b) “century-scale climate fluctuations” correlate “statistically and visually” with solar forcing estimates; and c) “we are in the middle of the 500-yr-long relatively warm period” and “this […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterAn observational analysis of photometric evidence suggests solar forcing of Earth’s atmosphere could vary by as much as ±4.5 W/m² since 1750, which is “far larger than the IPCC estimate of −0.30 to +0.10 W/m²” (Judge et al., 2020). A 2017 study suggested the solar activity during the “modern maximum period from 1940 to […]
