A German expert joins renowned physicists in pointing out that the climate data harbor far too much uncertainty and that conclusions drawn from such data are “pseudoscience”. At geologist Dr. Sebastian Lüning’s Die kalte Sonne here, Dr. Andreas Karl presents an essay on the reliability of the modern temperature record (1850-2020) based on recorded measurements. […]

Undisputed temperature reconstructions from around the world show the planet was much warmer over most of the Holocene (past 10,000 years) than it is today. Kenneth recently wrote how a wealth of new research in glacier and sea ice extent show modern Iceland is 2-4°C colder than all of the last 8000 years. Only the […]

Scientists are increasingly finding that abrupt, decadal-scale temperature changes of multiple degrees Celsius can arise unforced and spontaneously. The surface temperatures for the Greenland ice sheet have been known to warm 8 to 16°C “within decades or less” – yes, fewer than 10 years – due to “unforced oscillations.” In other words, no external forcing […]

A huge success has been achieved for nature and species conservation in Germany, reports the Naturschutzinitiative e.V. (NI). This means installing wind parks in nature-sensitive areas will remain extremely difficult. RESULT: Endangered species and biotopes will remain protected. Red kites will now be less threatened – photo: Ingo Kühl/NI The notorious § 1 paragraph 5 […]

UC Davis professor Frank Mitloehner dismisses the claims that livestock is bad for the planet, says ruminants in fact enhance global food production and sequester carbon. Ruminants play a critical role in feeding the global population, sequestering carbon, says UC Davis professor Frank Mitloehner. Photo: P.

A wealth of new research in glacier and sea ice extent show modern Iceland is 2-4°C colder than all of the last 8000 years except for a slightly colder late 19th century. Even the 1700s were warmer with less ice than today in and around Iceland. A new study (Geirsdóttir et al., 2020) now affirms […]

Die kalte Sonne Image: GWPF Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt was interviewed by the Hamburger Abendblatt on a new book he co-authored: “Unerwünschte Wahrheiten: Was Sie über den Klimawandel wissen sollten“ (Unwanted Truths: What You Have To Know About Climate Change). He warns that Germany’s energy policy of transitioning to renewable energies could lead to a “dramatic […]

It’s Christmas season, and so it’s a good time to think twice about indulging in all the sweets out there. I wrote about sugar earlier, but a refresher doesn’t hurt. 10 reasons to drastically reduce sugar, and to TAX it Not about “socialism”! The latest research not only shows sugar is addictive, but how it […]

Pressured by climate activism, power genherator Vattenfall announced it will shut down its recently commissioned 1.65 GW modern Moorburg coal power plant in Hamburg, Germany. It will take the equivalent of over 1600 wind turbines to take up the slack. Just days ago, I reported here how Big Wind and crony politicians are pushing to […]

At an outdoor test site in Italy CO2 concentrations vacillating between 1,000 and 750,000 ppm have no more or less an effect on local temperatures than a nearby site with stable, ambient (<400 ppm) CO2 concentrations. Mofette fields are “natural carbon dioxide springs” that allow us to observe the effect that a 100% (1,000,000 ppm) […]

“The wind power industry cannot be expanded in a ‘nature-compatible’ way,” says nature conservation group Naturschutzinitiativ. Slams pseudo environmental groups, the German Green Party. Yesterday I wrote about plans to transform 20 million square meters of a 1000-year old forest into an industrial wind complex comprising 60 200+ meter tall turbines with a rotor diameter […]

Green madness and environmental destruction 20 million square meters of 1000-year old “fairy tale” forest to be designated as an industrial wind park zone. “Approval procedure in final phase”! At Facebook, environmentalist Gero Lenhardt writes a desperate plea to rescue one of Germany’s most idyllic, fairy tale-like forests: the Reinhardswald located in the hilly region […]
