It’s not a secret that scientists and politicians have been deeply disappointed by the spectacular failure of climate models. 98% of the long-term climate models failed to project the 16-year warming stop, all having overstated the warming. So maybe it should not come as surprise that recently the German government quietly put out a bulletin describing a […]

Meteorologists warned us that snow was on the way and would fall below the 500 m elevation in southern Germany and elsewhere. Moreover, they warned us that this winter could be one of the worst in 100 years for Central Europe. No one knows if it’s really going to be such a winter, but one […]

Proven by thousands of temperature datasets, the earth’s climate fluctuated cyclically in the past, and there’s an overwhelming body of evidence showing a close correlation with solar activity and other powerful natural factors. If the IPCC had truly examined past temperature developments and compared them to solar data, they’d have seen there is something remarkable […]

It’s long been known that Greenpeace environmentalists are condescending, know-it-all activists, who believe to hold the moral high ground, to be the keepers of the truth. That sort of mindset has led Greenpeace activists to a false belief they are above the law, that their perceived law is supreme to everyone else’s. Time and again […]

Larry Bell has an excellent op-ed piece here at Forbes about Germany’s failing green energy experiment. Let it be a warning to others thinking of adopting the German plan. I’m very pleased to say NoTricksZone played an important role in contributing to the FORBES’ piece. This is an important issue because many countries in the […]

Carbon Dioxide and the Ocean By Ed Caryl In my last post, Figure 1 illustrated how much the annual carbon dioxide flux, the red trace, varied from year to year. Studies (here, here, and here, among others) have been done on the annual carbon flux, but they ignore this variation by using running averages, or […]

The (tired) sun in September 2013 and spectral progress By Frank Bosse and Fritz Vahrenholt (Translated/edited by P Gosselin) Currently solar activity is especially low. Solar sunspot number (SSN) in September was at 36.9, and thus was just 36% of the usual mean value 58 months into the cycle. The sun continues to remain in an […]

Online Spiegel as of right now has an unflattering report on the UN IPCC AR5 climate report as its top headline. This hardly helps the credibility of climate scientists. The headline article is dubbed: Contradictory Prognoses: Scientists Discover Discrepancies In UN Climate Report, written by Spiegel science journalist Axel Bojanowski. The bold print introduction: The UN warns […]
