The binding UN international treaty on limiting greenhouse gases and forcing “sustainable” living is dead. Is anyone listening any more? UN briefing to, um, hardly anyone. The world has once again been rescued (for the time being) from the real menace: radical environmentalism. We’ve done it. We’ve succeeded in dumping a load of sand into the machinery […]

The study appeared in the journal of BMC Public Health. Bild writes that increasing obesity does not only causes chronic ailments such as diabetes and cardio-vascular […]

Where Is All That Water Coming From? By Ed Caryl DirkH asked an interesting question in the comments to my last post: “It would be interesting to know how much of sea level rise is due to ancient aquifer depletion. Anyone got a number for that, in mm/yr?” The short answer (paper #1) is, about […]

While Ivy league pundits sit comfortably in their intellectually sanitized world of academia and discuss the possible virtues and boldness of Germany’s fast-track energy transition to renewable energy (80% less CO2 by 2050), Germany’s media, business and political leaders are now sounding the alarms for disaster. FOCUS cover story title: “Energy End! Why it it […]

The UK Telegraph here has published a comment by Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt, who together with geologist Dr. Sebastian Lüning authored the skeptic book “Die kalte Sonne“, which was on the Spiegel bestseller for a number of weeks earlier this year. Hat-tip: Neil Jones via Facebook. Fritz Vahrenholt: “…if these models fail so dramatically in the past, how […]

Geologist Dr. Sebastian Lüning and Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt found a Japanese tree-ring temperature reconstruction from 1995, one that should have been heeded by the IPCC and Michael Mann before they took the world on a 10-year joyride in the stolen car of “climate science”. Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age found far, far away from the […]

The Sahara is the world’s largest desert, one that geologist Dr. Sebastian Lüning – having participated in scientific expeditions there over the course of a decade – is very familiar with. Lüning and Fritz Vahrenholt recently wrote a post about a new study that examines climate cycles of the Sahara region throughout the Holocene. Contrary to what many […]

At their Die kalte Sonne website, Professor Fritz Vahrenholt and Dr. Sebastian Lüning present a guest post by Prof. Jan-Erik Solheim, who comments on the huge divergence between Hansen’s 1988 forecast and actual observations. I’ve translated his guest post in English: =================================================== What ever became of James Hansen’s 1988 temperature forecast? Time for an evaluation […]

UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon has written a guest piece for Der Spiegel. In it he declares that “consumption is dead” and that a new economic model is needed for the planet. The UN’s green agenda proposes a global concentration camp of forced environmental labor. However, like everyone one else, he cannot tell us […]

We can all recall the part in Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth about Naomi Oreskes claiming the scientific literature is unanimous on global warming being mostly caused by man-made greenhouse gases. Of course that turned out to be completely distorted, misleading and mostly wrong. Popular Technology.net has been updating a list of peer-reviewed papers that […]

Here’s another example on how a once respected science journal has meandered off into junk-rated energy propaganda. Nature now says that global warming will cause blackouts. And of course there’s even media out there gullibale enough to believe it and to spread the nonsense. This to me is an admission that they know blackouts are […]
