Scientists (Liu et al., 2021) have assessed the Pacific North American (PNA) pattern, “largely a mode of internal variability,” is “an important driver of western Arctic sea variability and trends”. The heat-redistributing PNA pattern recently shifted from a negative (1980s) to positive (1995-) phase. This internal shift “induced significant increases in poleward heat” transport, explaining […]

Bad news for the acceptance of electric cars in Germany as new survey finds results “astonishing”. German online weekly FOCUS reports according to several Allensbach surveys that although there is a strong interest in environmentally friendly mobility among people, they don’t view electric cars as being particularly practical, let alone green.

The IPCC-endorsed anthropogenic global warming (AGW) paradigm finds a warming Antarctica results in more precipitation locked up as ice on the continent. This contributes to reducing sea levels: a -1.2 mm/year−1 mitigation of sea level rise over the next 80 years. In the 4th IPCC report, Working Group 1 (the physical science) reported that as […]

German energy expert Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt writes at Die kalte Sonne that “developing country” China is pulling the wool over the world’s eyes as it continues to rapidly expand its coal power. UN winks it through. How relevant is our [German] coal phase-out worldwide? While Germany says goodbye to coal-fired power plants, the global picture […]

Two new studies refer to the natural decline in cloud and aerosol reflectivity and consequent rise in incoming solar radiation or sunlight duration as the explanation for warming trends across Europe. CO2 is not even mentioned as a factor in climate change. Scientists point out that, for Europe, “the decrease in cloud cover is caused […]

The media and activists, among them a number of “Climate scientists”, have been declaring that Greenland ice melt has been accelerating. Today the German Klimaschau climate news video reports, however, that this has not been the case over the recent years. All the recent talk about accelerating Greenland ice loss over the past years is […]

Northeast China has not been cooperating with the anthropogenic global warming narrative. A few years ago NE China was shown to be up to 7-9°C warmer than present during the Early Holocene (Zheng et al., 2018), when CO2 concentrations drifted around 260 ppm. Image Source: Zheng et al., 2018 Now two new studies indicate this […]

By Kirye and Pierre Today we update 12 stations located at the eastern side of Antarctica, where surface temperatures are colder than those located near the peninsula: Chart: NASA-GISS. Below the NASA data from the 12 stations are plotted going back almost 4 decades, to 1983. The first chart has 4 of the stations, and […]
