Cool and wet weather expected to plague Europe into August The previous three hot and dry European summers of 2018, 2019 and 2020 led “experts” to declare this was all the new normal for future – unless we surrender our freedom to regulatory masterminds. But no sooner was the ink of that declaration dry, did […]

Dozens of rapid warming and cooling periods episodically occurred throughout the last glacial. However, they have often been dismissed as local-only events. A 2020 study published in Science robustly affirms steeper-than-today warming periods spanned both hemispheres and 23 of 25 were “globally synchronous.” Geologists have long recognized that Greenland abruptly warmed up by 5 to […]

Climate alarmism is looking increasingly like organized fraud and deception. A German YouTube video reveals a number of charts prepared by Tony Heller illustrating how climate alarmists hide data in order to produce an alarming impression of the globe’s climate. Today we present 4 pairs of charts to show how climate alarmists carefully cherrypick their […]

What would we do without coal? The first half of 2021 saw a massive 20% drop in wind power consumption in Germany…while “coal power saw a renaissance.” In the latest climate video, Die kalte Sonne cites a variety of electric utility companies and electric power trade associations concerning electric power consumption in Germany for the […]

From 1979-2018 East Antarctica cooled -0.70°C/decade (-2.8°C), West Antarctica cooled -0.42°C/decade (-1.68°C), but the Antarctic Peninsula warmed 0.18°C/decade (0.72°C). Thus, as a whole, the Antarctic continent has cooled by about -1.5°C to -2°C during the same period CO2 rose from 337 to 410 ppm. Zhu et al., 2021 “The temperature trend from ERA5 is consistent […]

Leibnitz scientists find no significant trends for the whole of Germany in terms of heavy rainfall We hear the message all the time from the German mainstream media and climate alarmists: Weather extremes are becoming more and more frequent, as the recent flood shows. But a recent paper titled “Frequency Trend Analysis of Heavy Rainfall […]

CO2 scaremongering and the truth about German floods By Fred F. Mueller Last week we saw flood disasters in various areas of Germany and other European countries, especially in the area of the Ahr River, which have not only caused billions in damage, but tragically also claimed up to more than 200 lives. Considering that […]

Forty to 50 years ago there was “general agreement” in estimates of the resulting radiative forcing (1 to 2 W/m²) and surface temperature change (0.5°C ±0.3°C) when directly doubling CO2 concentrations from 280 to 560 ppm. By the late 1980s the “consensus” estimates doubled to 3.7 W/m² forcing and 1.2°C warming instead. Apparently “basic physics” […]

Germany under water. Photo by P. Gosselin Climate alarmist media waking up? Germany’s climate alarmist media appears to be waking up a little, and thus are not totally buying the claims being made by German leaders that the devastating floods were due to climate change. It’s becoming increasingly clear the human catastrophe was the result […]
