A new reconstruction of Arctic (NW Greenland) sea ice cover (Caron et al., 2019) reveals modern day sea ice is present multiple months longer than almost any time in the last 8000 years…and today’s summer sea surface temperatures are among the coldest of the Holocene. Yet another new study (Caron et al., 2019) shows today’s […]

This is not meant to be mean-spirited, but rather I present this as humor. This brilliant parody was produced by John Meredith, a.k.a. John Mollusk. We all love Greta as a child and wish her well. Unfortunately Greta had been coaxed into giving a speech which was way over the top and totally lacked judgement […]

At 410 ppm CO2, 21st century Sweden is colder now than almost any time in the last 9000 years. Image Source: Grudd, 2008 […]

For example, German online news weekly FOCUS here reports how the Singapore government “does not want electric cars” and even “is blocking electric cars”. E-cars dirtier than claimed According to Minister Masago Zulkifli bin Masagos Mohamad, who is responsible for the environment […]

CO2 concentrations have risen from 310 ppm to 410 ppm since the 1930s. However, there has been no net change in Arctic or Greenland temperatures during these last 90 years. During the Pliocene, CO2 also ranged between about 300-400 ppm, but the Arctic was 15-22°C warmer and sea levels 25 meters higher than today. Is […]

By Kirye in Tokyo Cooling August trends and stunningly early snows in Europe contradict global catastrophist warming claims. Recently we heard reports of the earliest snowfall in Greta Thunberg’s Sweden in 20 years, and “stunning” snowfall in Norway. So it’s been strange to hear during these hysterical days of Fridays for Future (FFF) how snowfall […]

Good news: Germany’s “climate rescue” plan is light years away from FFF demands, thus postponing economic suicide leap, Bad news: plan means considerable hardship for German consumers and economy. Haunted by visions of a climate collapse, German government yet decides to postpone its economic death leap, instead proposes highly watered down climate-rescue plan. FFF’s draconian […]

A growing proportion of Sweden’s energy is derived from burning biomass (wood), which increases CO2 emissions 65% and 285% more than coal and natural gas energy generation, respectively. And yet because governmental policy – not science – has (wrongly) declared biomass burning “renewable” and “carbon neutral”, Greta Thunberg’s Sweden is falsely credited with reducing its […]

Greta, the Swedish teenage activist is calling for radical cuts in CO2 emissions – on a scale that would have profound impacts on the world’s market system. Moreover, Lomborg calls […]
