Connection between cosmic rays, clouds and radiation budget is reaffirmed…CO2 role thus has to be much smaller. There have been a flurry of recently published studies on radiative forcing and its variation due to cloud changes. The latest is a new study published in the journal Nature. Climate scientists Dr. Henrik Svensmark and colleagues have found […]

Satellite data raise doubts about man-made climate change Climate models do not represent reality. They sre running too hot. Climate modeling has been awarded the Nobel Prize. But two German researchers prove that observations are more important than calculations in climate research. By Alex Reichmuth (Switzerland) (Translated, edited by P. Gosselin) There was great […]

German online heise.de reports here that the European Commission now “aims to classify nuclear power and natural gas as sustainable”, likely in a bid to avert an energy supply meltdown. Previously Europe had excluded nuclear power and natural gas as a climate-friendly source of energy, but now that energy prices have begun to skyrocket and […]

The discovery of whale bones and marine shells at ancient beach sites 32 to 36 meters above today’s shorelines have been dated to the Early to Middle Holocene. Beach ridges were still several meters higher than today during Roman and Medieval times. The relative sea levels of the ancient past can be discerned by identifying […]

Cooked up consensus… Image: Copyright NoTricksZone Martin Landvoigt writes on truth and consensus, climate models, the “fundamental and methodological difficulties” in climate science and how “hard, robust evidence is largely lacking” and so it’s “a matter of weakly substantiated opinions”. Climate consensus and the climate By Martin Landvoigt at Philosophieren für alle), Die kalte Sonne (Text excerpt […]

Scientists continue to affirm the critical role of clouds in modulating the Earth’s energy budget, and, hence, the climate. The total net forcing of the entirety of the CO2 influence on climate has been less than 2 W/m² since 1750 (Feldman et al., 2015). Image Source: Feldman et al., 2015 On a per-decade basis, a 22 […]

A recent volcanic eruption in Spain has led to one solar farm getting buried by a meter of volcanic ash. As you can imagine, it’ll take awhile and considerable expense to get that facility back online, if at all. Volcanic ash is a major problem for solar panel performance.

New temperature reconstructions using coral skeletons as proxies reveal there has been no apparent net warming in the Great Barrier Reef, central Indian Ocean, and South China Sea since the 19th century – or even in recent decades. Coral skeletons can be used as proxies to reconstruct 1870s-present sea surface temperatures “throughout the Great Barrier […]
