“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 [...]
Milankovic Cycles and Climate Change
Milankovic Cycles and Climate Change Is it distance from the sun, or length of summer? By Ed Caryl A draft paper by Dr. James Hansen and Dr. Makiko Sato triggered a rebuttal by Dr. Martin Hertzberg on WUWT. The Hansen paper made a claim that weaker insolation in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) due to distance [...]
German Scientist: CO2 Not The Cause of Climate Change – Cold Period Is Anticipated
The European Institute For Climate and Energy (EIKE) released a paper today written by German physicist Dr. Horst Borchert. The paper reveals a clear relation between solar activity and ocean cycles, and thus act as the main climate drivers. Measured data shows no CO2 impact on climate. Paper as pdf here. Unfortunately, the paper is only [...]
Sunspots and Temperature
Ed Caryl, author of One Of Our Hemispehere Is Missing and A Light In Siberia, brings us his latest essay. If history is an indicator, then today’s simultaneously declining PDO and AMO, in combination with a solar quiet period, mean that a “rapidly cooling situation” may be in the works, or we could even be [...]
Svensmark’s Cloud Theory May In Fact Cause Warming, Taunts German Scientist
I’ve gotten into a bit of a squabble at Georg Hoffmann’s blog concerning Henrik Svensmark’s cosmic ray cloud-seeding hypothesis. Hoffmann cites two recent papers that investigate Forbush decreases and their impacts on clouds, and thus climate. The two papers reach different conclusions. The first paper is by Calogovic et al. (Jürg Beers Gruppe) in GRL, which analyses [...]
A New Little Ice Age Is Called Off By FOCUS Magazine
The last two years of minimal solar activity did not prevent the earth from warming, and thus shows that the theory that the recent abnormally low solar activity could lead to a little ice age is false, so writes German FOCUS magazine. Online FOCUS magazine here reports on how solar activity has awoken, and thus the prospects [...]
Lebedev Physics Institute: Solar Maximum May Be Postponed Again
SOHO latest image: Last Friday the German edition RIA NOVOSTI Russian news agency reported that there were five clusters of sunspots on the sun, leading some scientists to believe that the sun’s unusual lull may be over for good. Scientists have been observing sunspots for hundreds of years. Many believe solar activity has a major impact [...]
Judith Lean Forgets Clouds, Water Vapour And Longer-Term Ocean Oscillations As Factors
Some of you will recall this pretty face we saw a couple of months ago. We got to know her here, here and here. The IPCC based solar impact on climate on the “consensus of a single astronomer, who agreed with herself”. In March, 2008, Dr. Lean made a presentation on global warming, see the following video link: [...]
