No longterm trend in heatwaves in North America By Dr. Sebastian Lüning and Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt (German text translated/edited by P Gosselin) The playbook is well-known: After a drought, heat wave or flood occurs, journalists and climate alarmists fall all over themselves in the race to issue shrill warnings that this is only the beginning and […]

Scientists are increasingly concluding that changes in low level cloud cover, not CO2, are what govern the surface radiation budget in the polar regions, driving and determining the retreat of the ice sheets. Image Source: https://www.nature.com/articles/nclimate3363 It is considered “established science” that “the greenhouse effect of clouds may be larger than that resulting from a hundredfold increase […]

WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS PROFANITIES FROM TWITTER! At Twitter I ran across this young lady who announced to the public she had just ditched her vegan diet after being on it for 4 years, most of which she describes as a living hell.

German ARD public television wishes to believe climate skepticism in the country is fueled by American Big Oil dollars. The reality is that German skepticism is a far broader phenomenon. I didn’t become aware of this recent German ARD Monitor investigative report until yesterday. The ARD Monitor public television report, aired earlier this month in […]

A 2017 peer-reviewed paper authored by physicist Dr. Hermann Harde drew considerable response upon its publication in the journal Global and Planetary Change. Harde’s conclusion that less than 15% of the increase in CO2 concentration since the 19th century could be attributed to anthropogenic emissions was deemed unacceptable by gatekeepers of the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) […]

Parts of Europe woke up to near record low temperatures, snow and surface frost this morning as cold air swept across the continent from the north. Just a couple of weeks ago the climate ambulance chasers were hysterically crying climate wolf as much of the continent baked at high temperatures under drought conditions. But now […]

The contradictions we see in global warming science are often staggering. And climate scientists wonder why so many are skeptical. Some years ago I published 30 contradictory pairs of peer-reviewed papers that claim global warming causes both more and less of something. Surely there are many more contradicting pairs out there today. We also keep […]

As the Arctic summer ice melt approaches its peak, we can say with high certainty that this year’s ice melt will extend the trend of a rebounding Arctic ice mass by another year. Arctic summer sea ice now growing 12 years Our Japanese skeptic blogger and good friend Kirye reports using the data from the […]

Coral reef bleaching events occur after exposure to unusually warm water temperatures or excessive sunlight. Activists claim that today’s coral bleaching events are not only unprecedented, but reefs will soon disappear. In contrast, scientists have determined that modern-day bleaching events are not unusual or unprecedented, but only a continuation of a naturally-occurring phenomenon. A few […]

As the heat and drought peaked across northern Europe in early August, the media became chock-full of climate doom stories of how the heat and drought were all sure signs of a tipping planet, always citing the ever reliable doomsday scientists. Right in the middle of the hysteria was German public television, such as ZDF. […]

A commentary by Prof. Dr. Joachim Weimann on Germany’s renewable energies flop appearing in German flagship daily the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) underscores how wind and sun are delivering nothing of what was originally promised. German economist calls Germany’s Energiewende “an extremely poor result.” Image cropped here, Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg. Hat-tip: Windwahn, Die […]

Over the years there has been a sustained effort to portray human exposure to very high levels of CO2 as toxic. A new study undercuts these claims, as the decision-making performances of controlled-experiment participants were not impaired when exposed to CO2 concentrations as high as 15,000 ppm. As a political activist, Al Gore has often […]
