Coastal history analyses increasingly suggest sea levels are lower today than at any time in the last 7000 years – even lower than the 1600s to 1800s. Recently we compared cartology from the 17th to 19th centuries to direct aerial images of coastal positions today. Rather surprisingly, there seemed to be more land area below […]

In a new paper, atmospheric physicist Dr. Richard Lindzen summarizes the “implausible” claims today’s proponents of dangerous anthropogenic global warming espouse. Dr. Richard Lindzen retired several years ago, and yet his immense contribution to the atmospheric sciences lives on. His research is still cited about 600 times per year. Lindzen recently published another scientific paper […]

By Kirye (photo right) and Pierre Gosselin Today we post before-and-after mean annual temperature charts for 6 US stations in the midwest region with a low brightness index (BI), meaning low impact from the urban heat island (UHI) effect, which arises from widespread asphalt, concrete and infrastucture. The low BI index tells us that the stations are […]

In recent decades there have been “notable cooling trends” throughout many regions of the globe according to several new studies. A year ago NoTricksZone (NTZ) announced Greenland Has Been Cooling In Recent Years – 26 Of Its 47 Largest Glaciers Now Stable Or Gaining Ice. Six months ago NTZ cited several scientific papers indicating The […]

Recently I wrote here how Germany’s now infamous record-setting weather station in Lingen was producing readings that were 2-3°C hotter than surrounding stations, yet the German DWD weather service refused to acknowledge the station was likely producing bad data. Today they admit the station has problems and that they will be moving it to a […]

Temperature stations along the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula indicate “marked statistically signficant cooling” has occurred since 1991, with the Larsen Ice Shelf cooling at a rate of -1.1°C per decade. Image Source: Bozkurt et al., 2020 Bozkurt et al., 2020 “Observed near-surface temperature trends indicate important contrasts between summer and autumn for the period 1991−2015. […]

So far no signs of another super hot-dry summer for Europe, which media have been alarming about. Veteran Swiss meteorologist Jörg Kachelmann tweeted the 45-day projections for Europe. In terms of precipitation, Europe saw drought conditions over the past two summers (2018 and 2019) and climate alarmists claimed this would be the new normal. And […]
