A new paper reveals that climate models have failed to take important natural factors, such as the North Atlantic Oscillation, into account in their climate models on which leaders have been basing their policies. A new paper in Nature says NAO not taken adequately into account by climate models. Image: see video (German) here. Paper […]

Echoing the determination of NASA scientists, a new study suggests the natural variability in cloud cover allowing more solar radiation to be absorbed by the Earth’s oceans drove the 2014-2020 global warming. NASA scientists (Loeb et al., 2018) used satellite data to assess the 2014-2017 warming was driven by a +0.83 W/m² shortwave forcing due to […]

German skeptic site Die Kalte Sonne here debunks a recent alarmist article appearing in Spiegel aimed at shocking its readers. The reality, it turns out, is not shocking at all. Greenland ice doomed? According to Spiegel, the Greenland ice sheet is already doomed (that is unless we skip the usual democratic process and just act […]

CORRECTION: The chart below is misleading. The ARD has not changed its color scheme. The chart for 2009 shows the 3-day forecast, whose color coding according to ARD in fact has not changed. The 2019 is the forecast chart for the day, and this 1-day chart uses a different color code for temperature. It too […]

In an interview with flagship daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ here), Max-Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPIM) Director Dr. Jochen Marotzke said predicting how many degrees of warming we need to prepare for was like reading tea leaves and that he is not worried about “climate tipping points”. He also spoke of the wide disagreement among […]

In the early 1900s, the globally-averaged distribution of calculated surface temperature estimates ranged between 14 and 15°C. For 1991-2018, HadCRUT, Berkeley, and NASA GISS also estimate today’s global temperature is about 14.5°C. Scientists estimating Earth’s surface temperature has been an ongoing pursuit since the early 19th century. A new study (Kramm et al., 2020) suggests […]

Climate alarmism dissenters getting increasingly vocal. Yesterday I reported on how science editor Axel Bojanowski at German national daily DIE WELT had written a commentary on the deceptive use of a faulty climate hockey stick by ZDF German broadcasting. Naturally whenever anything of the sort happens here in Germany, attack dog Stefan Rahmstorf of the […]

A new temperature reconstruction indicates today’s sea surface temperatures are colder than all but a few millennia out of the last 156,000 years. A Southern Ocean site analyzed in a new study (Ghadi et al., 2020) has averaged 1-2°C during glacials and 4°C during interglacials. Today, with a 410 ppm CO2 concentration, this location has […]

Günther Aigner released a German video with the title “Die Alpengletscher im Klimawandel: Status quo“ (The Alps glaciers in climate change: status quo). Hat-tip: Die kalte Sonne Today global warming alarmists insist blaming climate change on man-made CO2 emissions. Yet, everywhere we look it’s difficult to find any correlation between CO2 and warming. Pre-industrial history […]

The COVID 19-pandemic has led the German public to grow weary and distrustful of the “follow the science” mantra and to realize that it means losing liberty and fundamental rights. Political shifts and public opinion changes are afoot in Germany as libertarians and conservatives become every more disenchanted with the restrictions. Tens of thousands gathered […]
