Even NASA says it: Without the Earth’s greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere, the planet would be on average a frigid -18°C. But because of the preindustrial 280 ppmv CO2 and other GHGs in our atmosphere, the average temperature of the Earth thankfully moves up by 33°C to +15°C (see chart below), based on the […]

Usually shunned by the German mainstream media, today moderate, rational voices on the issue of climate change are beginning to be heard on the air waves once again. This may be temporary. We’ll just have to wait and see. Leading German climate science critic Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt. Image: Die kalte Sonne For example, just days […]

Mainstream climate science claims CO2 molecules “slow down the rate of heat-loss from the surface” like a blanket does. And yet the rate at which a CO2 molecule retains or slows down heat loss is, at most, a negligible 0.0001 of a second. A CO2 concentration of 300 ppm versus 400 ppm will therefore have […]

Scientists (Bragato and Holzhauser, 2019) find natural catastrophes like tornadoes and earthquakes and pandemics like plague, cholera, and influenza “concentrate in the periods of ice expansion in Europe” whereas periods of economic expansion and a lower incidence of natural catastrophes and pandemics occur during deglaciation phases, or warm periods. Century-scale cooling can be elicited by […]

By Kirye and Pierre Gosselin Recently Japanese scientist Dr. Kiyohiko Ikeda (@IkedaKiyohiko) retweeted about a newspaper book review appearing in the Sankei Shinbum, which reported on how Marc Morano’s best selling “The Politically Incorrect Guide To Climate Change” was hitting the book market in Japan. 今日の産経に、地球温暖化の不都合な真実がありました。いよいよ地球温暖化、CO₂削減とは何だったか、明らかにされています。国連の気候変動サミットも、色あせて、白々しく感じたものでした。風力発電のアホらしさは最初から分かっているのに、なぜ被害を拡大したのか。悪党よ pic.twitter.com/0yFnfS8KXL — 由良 守生 (@zan4736511) October 8, 2019 Mr. Morano’s […]

It’s unusual to see rationality over climate change in the German media, but sometimes it manages to get through. In April this year I missed an important podcast interview with one of the world’s most prominent Sahara Desert researchers, geologist Dr. Stefan Kröpelin, by the Düsseldorf-based German daily, Rheinische Post.

Germany may be soon re-introducing a dark period where political opponents are simply declared mentally ill by the state and forcibly hospitalized for “treatment”.

In a new study, scientists report that about 17,000 to 20,000 years ago, when CO2 levels hovered near 190 ppm, “summer temperatures were higher here [North Slope, Alaska] than they are today” (Kuzmina et al., 2019).

Yesterday the online Hamburg Abendblatt published an interview with Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt on the recent climate demonstrations and alarmism. Vahrenholt calls the demonstrations and demands “over-the-top”, and a real threat to the economy. He says the climate models are unreliable and predictions of great warming “absurd”. Co-founder of Germany’s modern environmental movement, Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt. […]
