A French physicist recounts the evidence affirming temperature changes are the cause of changes in atmospheric CO2 concentrations throughout the last 423 thousand years of the ice core record, thus invalidating the claims of more than a negligible role for CO2 in affecting climate changes. In a new study Dr. Pascal Richet re-emphasizes the “most […]

Significant influence of solar activity on winter temperature in Scandinavian polar night So far, much of Europe has seen a cold and wet 2021. It may be related to solar cycles. An essay at Die kalte Sonne by Dr. Ludger Laurenz looks at the relationship between solar activity and weather trends, and believes this summer’s […]

200,000 euros damage? For some, like Greenpeace activists, VW is moving much too slowly stopping the sales of internal combustion engine (ICE) cars. And so they think they are justified trespassing and removing the keys of cars waiting to be loaded for export. Greenpeace activists overcame a fence using ladders and removed the keys from […]

A team of scientists believe they’ve made a forecasting breakthrough, suggesting the NAO is in fact highly predictable. Especially Europe’s winter temperatures are modulated by the North Atlantic atmospheric pressure pattern known as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). As the name implies, it describes the natural fluctuations in the difference of atmospheric pressure at sea […]

There has been a sustained global-scale effort to reduce coal power capacity in recent years. Meanwhile, China’s government has been busy loosening restrictions on coal plant construction to power its post-pandemic economy. In 2020, China built over three times as much new coal power capacity as all other countries in the world combined – with […]

Warmth led to the rise of the Roman Empire, while cooling accompanied its demise A new paper appearing in Scientific Reports titled “Persistent warm Mediterranean surface waters during the Roman period” by Margaritelli et al looks at the climate at the time of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, and beyond. Hat-tip: Die […]

UPDATE: my TWITTER account has now been blocked by Dorsey & Co. for violating their rules. My offence: “Calling the COVID vaccines “experimental”. Not kidding! At Boris Reitschuster’s site, Christian Euler reports on virologist, 2008 Nobel laureate Dr. Luc Montagnier, who recently called the current policy of mass vaccination “a serious mistake” and “a scientific […]

A professor of hydrology from the University of Athens eviscerates the “naïve” paradigm that says the natural state of Earth’s climate is constancy and stability, only changing when an “external agent” (i.e., a rapid increase in fossil fuel emissions ) acts upon it. Instead, (a) water is the main element driving climate and (b) the […]

Our fellow Dutch climate blogger and friend Klimaatgek writes about how cold this spring has been in the Netherlands this year, namely April and May. Not long ago I reported how Germany had seen its fourth coldest April since recordings began in 1881. May so far hasn’t been warm either as the DWD German weather […]

If you repeat a truth often enough, then it stays that way. Comprehensive analyses of data again show no link between rising CO2 and tropical storm intensity or frequency. It’s important to repeat that regularly. Zoe Phin The latest comes from statistics expert, Zoe Phin, who looks at the alarmists’ claim that increasing CO2 emissions […]

Costly climate policy may be heralding Germany’s next socially explosive powder keg Welt science journalist Axel Bojanowski warns in last Sunday’s ‘Welt am Sonntag’ that higher prices on CO2-intensive activities such as short haul flights will hit people who fear high costs more than they fear climate change. “The Elite of the Climate Activists”. ‘Welt […]

A new study asserts that when Greenland naturally warms by multiple degrees per decade, this “abrupt climate variability can result entirely from unforced or noise-induced oscillations of the coupled atmosphere-ice-ocean system.” This means the recent modest climate changes for Greenland may easily fall within the scope of an unforced natural variability pattern. In the last […]
