Svensmark Hits Back At Scienceblog’s Florian Freistetter Over Vahrenholt Book
There’s been lots of disingenuous criticism from the CO2 end-of the world warmists and Armageddonists aimed at Fritz Vahrenholt’s and Sebastian Lüning’s new best selling skeptic book Die kalte Sonne. Much of it attacking Svensmark’s theory of solar amplification via cosmic rays. Again. none have really read the book, they simply repeat the same old [...]
Book By Vahrenholt – German Warmist Scientist Claims: “I Need Only Two Sentences To Show It’s CO2!”
ARD German public television presented a short clip of Fritz Vahrenholt and the contents of his new book during its early morning show on Monday. ARD had an agitated Prof Mojib Latif on to respond. It is still unclear why Latif is agitated with Vahrenholt to begin with, as they both agree that CO2 is [...]
Prestigious Institute Director Eicke Weber Reveals Stunning Lack Of Climate Science Knowledge In Interview
If an “expert” sits down for an interview with a leading media outlet, he should at least know what he’s talking about. Unfortunately this was hardly the case for Georg Feulner of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and Eicke Weber, Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems in Freiburg, Germany, both [...]
“IPCC Ignored An Entire Field Of Science”, Die Welt Reports. Slams “Intergovernmental Panel On CO2″!
The online DIE WELT today has a leading commentary here on the fallout of Fritz Vahrenholt’s and Sebastian Lüning’s skeptic book that has delivered a body blow to the German global warming movement. The DIE WELT piece, written by Ulli Kulke, is titled: “Climate science is the new replacement religion” In contains a plea for [...]
More Peer Reviewed Papers Showing “It’s The Sun, Stupid!”
One of the IPCC’s most dubious achievements is ignoring so many papers showing that the sun plays a huge role in our climate. The sun play a role? Yeah, right! A reader brings our attention to some recent papers showing that the sun plays a major role on climate, not that the IPCC will be [...]
Scafetta: IPCC Warming Claim Is “Erroneous…IPCC Projections For The 21st Century Cannot Be Trusted”
A new paper has been published by the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar Terrestrial Physics, authored by Nicola Scafetta, 2012: Testing an astronomically based decadal-scale empirical harmonic climate model versus the IPCC (2007) general circulation models. Entire paper available here. It’s not a secret that the IPCC models are all rigged to make CO2 look [...]
The Sun’s Impact On Earth’s Temperature Goes Far Beyond TSI – New Paper Shows
No surprise here. Just more inconvenient results for CO2 broken-record dogmatists. New paper: GISS temps and solar activity A recent paper published by the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar Terrestial Physics (74) 2012 87-93 and authored by Souza Echer et al. suggests that solar cycles, to a substantial extent, drive global temperatures, and that likely [...]
Nir Shaviv: CO2 “Climate Sensitivity Is On The Low Side”
Somehow I missed Nir Shaviv’s comment about Jasper Kirby’s CLOUD experiment, read here: Shaviv writes (emphasis added): Ok, so what do these results imply? The first point was essentially pointed above. The results unequivocally demonstrate that atmospheric ionization can very easily affect the formation of condensation nuclei (CNs). Since many regions of earth are devoid [...]
Kook Science and Predictions Spreading Beyond Climatology
It’s a slow climate news day here in Germany, and this story at chinadaily.com happened to catch my eye. Russian scientists expect to meet aliens by 2031 So there you are. Kook scientists (funded by the poor taxpayers) are also to be found in fields other than climate science. To be honest, I’d say the odds these aliens [...]
Global Warming On Pluto Caused By The Sun (Even 3 Billion Miles Away!)
The online Financial Times Deutschland reports that a British team of astronomers, led by Jane Greaves of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, have found strong evidence of global warming of Pluto’s atmosphere using the 15-meter James Clerk Maxwell Telescope in Hawaii. They also detected carbon monoxide in its atmosphere. The researchers also say that new [...]
