But once again we are learning that it’s more fake than fact. Last Friday the mercury soared to 45.9°C (114.6°F) in Gallargues-le-Montueux in southern France according to French national weather service Météo-France. Media outlets not […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterThe CO2 greenhouse effect presumably perturbs the Earth’s energy budget by driving trends in downwelling longwave radiation from the top of the atmosphere, which in turn drives changes in surface temperatures. Two scientists (Zeppetello and Battisti, 2019) have observed the opposite: perturbations in surface temperatures are what drive changes in downwelling longwave. Consequently, they […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterBy Kirye and Pierre Gosselin It’s been long known that NASA GISS has been going through its historical temperature data archives and erasing old temperature measurements and replacing them with new, made up figures without any real legitimate reason. This practice has led to the formation of new datasets called “adjusted” data, with the […]

Further, colder periods – which are associated with […]
