As heat pumps become the latest trend, so is their theft. And because they are installed outdoors, insurance companies refuse to cover the losses. Swiss site Tichy’s Einblick here reports on how police and consumer advocates are warning homeowners heat pumps are being stolen and that often aren’t insured because they are not not secured […]

The UN Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (IPCC) is misleading policy makers by focusing on an implausible worst-case emissions scenarios, concludes a new analysis report published by the Clintel Foundation: “The Frozen Climate Views of the IPCC“ The IPCC is hiding the good news about disaster losses and climate-related deaths and wrongly claims the estimate […]

The claim that rising global surface temperatures will induce more storm activity is contradicted by observations. Scientists reporting on the contrasting albedo effects of clouds in the Northern vs. Southern Hemispheres (Blanco et al., 2023) assess clouds have a “profound” effect on the global radiation budget and thus our climate. The Southern Hemisphere is cloudier […]

NASA data show no planetary warming over the past decade. Are we heading for cooling? Twitter account Zacki here tweeted on the northern and southern hemisphere sea land land surface temperature trend over the past decade, using NASA GISS data. First lets begin with the northern hemisphere for the past 9 years: There’s been no […]

By Christian Freuer, EIKE (Translated, edited by P. Gosselin) The western US has had an historic winter. From record-breaking cold spells to unprecedented amounts of snow, this has been a memorable cold season – and one that runs counter to the prophecies of the AGW party. Starting with the cold – and according to data from […]

Data analysis again reveals the increase in absorbed shortwave forcing has been driving modern climate change since the 1970s. CO2 changes are more of an effect than a cause of temperature increases. Scientists have for years been pointing to the causality sequencing problem inherent in the claim that CO2 is the driver of temperature changes. […]

Plastering the landscape with wind turbines for producing renewable energy may lead to regional drought. Germany has so far installed over 30,000 wind turbines, which is about 1 every 11 sq. km. Plans are calling for doubling or even tripling wind power capacity. But this may be detrimental as new studies show that wind farms […]

Germany April 2023 was the wettest in 15 years, 1.5°C cooler than mean Symbol photo by P. Gosselin According to the preliminary data gathered from the German DWD National Weather Service’s 2000 surface stations, April ,2023, was the first to be wetter than normal in 15 years. Over the past decade and a half before […]

Per a new study on the hydrological cycle’s role in climate change, today’s state-of-the-art climate models “assume the mean relative humidity at the ocean surface is constant.” They are also known to “assume unchanged wind conditions.” Even with this imaginary constancy, “uncertainties in modeling the hydrological cycle significantly [orders of magnitude, or more than 100-fold] […]

Charts by Tony Heller’s wife, Kirye The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has released the mean temperature data for April, 2023, for Tokyo and its island in the Pacific: Hachijō-jima. April is the big month of spring, and warming would tell us that this month ought to be getting colder due to more CO2 in the […]

The accumulation of over two centuries of precipitation records across Greece indicates there have been overall slightly declining trends in precipitation extremes across the region and “negligible climate variability.” This supports a new study’s tongue-in-cheek title referencing a “404 Not Found” climate crisis. Eight scientists have published a new study examining the popularized conceptualization of […]
