In this American Thinker piece by Clarice Feldman, the parallels to Steve McIntyre just jumped right out at me. The German press is trying to make it look like the Democrats are thrilled about Ryan being the running mate, (predictably) painting Ryan as a “huge target” and a “radical conservative”, just because he believes in […]

Hans von Storch’s Klimazwiebel here posted an insightful essay by University of Bielefeld sociologist Prof. Peter Weingart titled (roughly translated): “The Limits of Science Advising Policy – Forget About the Opportunities“. Weingart cautions us against allowing an elite class of scientists to shape our public policy.The essay first appeared in Gegenworte – Hefte für den Disput über […]

We all know that Romney is wishy-washy when it comes climate change science, and that us so-called skeptics were not at ease with that. Well, now you can cast your worries aside. Over the last hours there’s been a lot of buzz out in the media that Paul Ryan has been chosen as Romney’s running […]

By Ed Caryl Some commenters on my previous articles using MODTRAN, here and here, have called into question the validity of using it to investigate the physics behind the CAGW theory. Of course in the 24 year history of MODTRAN, the US Air Force and many other organizations, including climate scientists, have validated the software […]

The main pillar of the global warming, climate change theory is the claim that trace gas CO2 is the single major player impacting climate today. To maintain this, alarmist scientists and climate modelers have been forced to blow up the effects of CO2 by one order of magnitude in their models and to neglect a series […]

It seems that parts of the German mainstream media are becoming more cautious with the information warmist scientists feed them. For example Axel Bojanowski of Der Spiegel here writes a report about Richard Muller’s “CALL me a converted skeptic” opinion piece that appeared in the “New York Times”, which the German and international warmist media gleefully pounced upon. But Bojanowski […]

By Ed Caryl This is a short extension to my last article on Why The Earth Is Cooling. When I first began exploring Modtran, the numbers it produced for downward radiation at the surface seemed to make no sense. It nearly always produced the same number, and I thought that part of the program was broken. […]

By Ed Caryl The Climate Team has always claimed that a doubling of CO2 would add 3.7 Watts/m2 to the global climate budget and thus this would fry us all. This fate is their religion’s version of Hell, except we will all suffer this rather than just the “sinners,” thus giving them leverage to force […]

Another short one… Last week my wife and I spent a few days in Berlin, and we visited the German Historical Museum. Part of Germany’s very early history involves the Roman Empire, which never succeeded in taming the unruly tribes east of the Rhine. Climate change during the Roman Empire days, when CO2 was below 300 ppm. […]

A small break from my blogging break… You can’t tame the weather and regulate the Earth’s temperature by regulating a single trace gas. You’d be more successful with a rain dance. H/t: WUWT

Dear readers It’s time for a break from blogging. I’ve gotten a hefty amount of work to do and the deadlines are really tight. There’s no way I will be able to blog regularly for the next two weeks. I may be able to post a short item or two here and there, but not more. It’s […]
