The radiative impact of CO2 on the ocean’s thermal skin layer cannot penetrate deeper than 0.01 mm. This effectively eliminates the potential for CO2 to be a driver of global warming. According to mainstream anthropogenic global warming (AGW) science, 93% of global warming is manifested in the 0-2000 m oceans. Just 1% of global warming […]

Roland Tichy’s site here reports that although car traffic in the German city of Stuttgart has decreased significantly due to COVID-19, the drop in NO2 content has only been “slight”. So it cannot be the evil diesel engine cars that are “choking” our cities. Image: NASA here (public domain) “The Corona crisis is bringing it […]

Corona shows the stark attitude differences between the sciences of climate and virology. While one arrogantly claims to monopolize the truth, the other acknowledges the great uncertainties. Image: CDC By Dr. Sebastian Lüning, Die kalte Sonne (Text translated, edited by P Gosselin) The corona virus with all the effects is currently pushing all other issues […]

The Corona crisis has reduced car traffic, yet air quality has not improved. This suggests that the automobile’s role in air pollution has been vastly exaggerated. Image: NASA (public domain) There are fewer cars on the road in major German cities due cities to the massive COVID-19 restrictions and “green zones”, “and yet it apparently does not […]

Dr. Knut Wittkowski, the former head of the epidemiology department at Rockerfeller University, says doing nothing would have been more effective – and ultimately cost fewer lives – than the “containment” strategy now in operation across the world. By restricting movement and confining people in their homes we are unnecessarily prolonging or widening the curve […]

Now that severe restrictions concerning mobility and social distance have been put in place and led to a shut down of a large part of the economy, climate activists claim that already we are seeing huge environmental benefits, among them: cleaner air. One person here in Germany even tweeted that he had not seen such […]
