Over the past 40 years of satellite observation, Antarctic sea ice defied global warming predictions and gained impressively. The mean temperature of the southern ice cap also shows no warming. In 2017, after decades of inconvenient rise, sea ice extent suddenly fell to record low level and panic activity among global warming alarmists began to […]

One complaint often heard within the scope of the climate debate is the very poor and misleading communication of science by the media to the public. Image: NASA Earth Observatory, public domain Warmer-than-normal early summer for northern hemisphere The latest example involves a summer weather update by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), called The Global […]

NOTE: Sorry about putting up the wrong chart earlier. Now the correct chart for Iceland is up. I was in a rush today and so was a bit less than diligent. -PG (When the wife says be ready by 7 pm, she means it!) ====================================== By Kirye, and P. Gosselin Iceland is situated in the […]

Today, the region north of Svalbard is encrusted with sea ice for all but a few weeks per year and summer sea surface temperatures (SSTs) hover near 0°C. Scientists (Brice et al., 2020) have determined this same region had sea ice-free conditions last about 10 months per year while SSTs reached 4°C just ~4100 years […]

Central Europe has been getting WETTER over the long term, and not drier like much media like to suggest. Dry years are nothing new. Lately in Central Europe we’ve been hearing a lot about drought becoming the new normal – all because of man-made global warming, of course. Lots of hype made from 2 years […]

Leading German daily Bild here reports on the controversy, which still continues to swirl, over Germany’s all-time record high temperature recorded last year in North Germany near the Dutch border. Independent meteorologists say the readings needs to be thrown out Last year on July 25th, the Lingen thermometer reached a whopping 42.6°C, far eclipsing the […]

In a new climate reconstruction for the Tibetan Plateau (Liang et al., 2020), scientists report a) the highest Holocene temperatures occurred about 8,500 to 6,000 years ago; b) “century-scale climate fluctuations” correlate “statistically and visually” with solar forcing estimates; and c) “we are in the middle of the 500-yr-long relatively warm period” and “this natural […]

Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) climatologists remain involuntarily stuck in thick pack ice while two sister ships remain waiting in a fjord at Spitsbergen. Let’s see how long this is going to take. Hat-tip: Snowfan Inconvenient sea ice. German Polarstern research vessel stuck in “two-year” ice, 500 km from Spitsbergen. Image: MOSAIC. German icebreaker and research […]

Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) president Craig Rucker tweeted the results of the most recent Gallup Poll, which found Americans have little concern about climate change. Positive news to kick off Memorial Day weekend: Gallup Poll finds only measly 2% of Americans believe ‘Climate Change’ is the most important problem facing our nation. pic.twitter.com/nyN4aZlZVy […]

German public broadcasting Deutsche Welle (DW) here reports how Mexico has decided to end its transition the renewable energies, angering activists and investors. The move, DW reports, “is scaring off environmentalists and investors” and could be the “death knell for renewable energies.” Apparently President Andrés Manuel López Obrador had traveled to Oaxaca and saw how […]

During the Early Holocene, when CO2 levels lingered near 260 ppm, ice core records suggest surface temperatures in Iceland were about 3°C warmer than today. Iceland’s extensive lakes and glaciers topography provides a verifiable history of the region’s paleoclimates. For example, scientists can infer summer temperatures 3°C warmer than today in Iceland to account for […]

Emerging dissidence: 22-year-old student Clemens Traub used to be a regular Fridays For Future demonstrator, until he woke up and realized the whole thing was run by what he now calls “big-city arrogance” and “socially privileged eco-hipsters”. The political science student, member of the German SPD socialist party, in fact says the movement is so […]
