Global warming should mean that the period of May 11-15 – known as the Ice Saints in Europe – when late spring frosts often occur, would become less frosty over the years. But the opposite has been the case since 1995. =============================================== Why have the Ice Saints gotten colder over the past 25 years? By […]

Scientists suggest relative sea level changes are well-correlated with natural variability and accelerated sea level rise is a “recurring feature” of what has been observed for over 300 years. Five of six studied regions along the North American Atlantic coast show declining sea level rates (mm/yr) in recent decades. After retreating into the sea until […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed how scientific dissent is not only being suppressed and marginalized in Germany when it comes to climate science, but with virology and public health. The online German national daily Die Welt here writes, “Virologists and physicians fear for their freedom of expression in the Corona crisis.” Climate scientists are getting […]

War on windpark-blocking red kites? Authorities are offering a €1000 reward for information leading to solving 11 cases of dead red kite protected birds. Nine of the deaths were due to a long-banned poison. Protected red kites being poisoned in north Germany.

Stefan Rahmstorf on the IPCC modelling breakdown: Reason to breathe a sigh of relief, new climate models are far too sensitive. By Die kalte Sonne (Translated by P. Gosselin) DER SPIEGEL provides a regular platform for the controversial climate scientist Stefan Rahmstorf. On 12 May 2020 he was allowed to: Stronger temperature rise: Why the […]

Both during the last interglacial (~120,000 years ago) and from roughly 2000 to 7000 years ago, relative sea levels were from 6-10 meters to 1-3 meters higher than they are today, respectively. For a list of over 100 other scientific papers indicating sea levels across the world were multiple meters higher when Earth’s CO2 concentrations […]

Today we look at the mean annual temperatures of western USA stations that have a Brightness Index (BI) of 0, meaning they are not subjected to urban heat island impacts. Many people are claiming that temperatures worldwide are rising due to greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. First we begin with the station located at […]

Elsevier has accepted a new paper by Lüdecke et al, 2020, showing natural oceanic and solar cycles play a large role in modulating Europe’s climate. Offers new chances for robust midterm temperature prognoses. The paper, in press, journal pre-proof, analyzes natural variability in European monthly temperatures on decadal and multidecadal timescales and their possible drivers. […]

An observational analysis of photometric evidence suggests solar forcing of Earth’s atmosphere could vary by as much as ±4.5 W/m² since 1750, which is “far larger than the IPCC estimate of −0.30 to +0.10 W/m²” (Judge et al., 2020). A 2017 study suggested the solar activity during the “modern maximum period from 1940 to 2015” […]

Nesting red kite shot dead because of wind energy? By Die kalte Sonne (Text translated by P. Gosselin) Red kites have little chance against wind turbines. Image: Thomas Kraft (ThKraft) – Own work, CC BY-SA 2.5 Red kites and wind power just do go well together. These predatory birds can find good prey especially where farmers mow […]

Image: NASA Earth Observatory. Public Domain Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt’s Monthly Solar Report The global mean temperature in April 2020 was again significantly lower than in February and March, at 0.38°C above the average from 1981 to 2010. The average temperature increase on the globe from 1981 to February 2020 was 0.14°C per decade. The further […]

Unusual cold and snow are expected to sweep across North America and Europe over the coming days, thus threatening crops. Not that mid May is approaching, global warming alarmists tell us we should already be expecting heat waves. But right now the opposite is in the forecast: snow and extreme cold! Who would have thought? […]
