Examining the beliefs underpinning the assumption that humans are heating up the planet can be enlightening. A book focusing on CO2 storage has recently been published by two geophysicists (Amundsen and Landro, 2023). Using insights from Svante Arrhenius, the late 19th century founding “father of climate change,” the authors assess that the radiative lifetime of […]

Wildfires, very much in the news recently, have tapered downward significantly over the recent decades, contradicting the doom and gloom spread by climate alarmists and media. German science editor Axel Bojanowski posted a chart at Twitter depicting the annual global total wildfire carbon emissions in metric tonnes since 2003: Wild fire emissions have trended down […]

The higher temperatures are clearly attributable to a reduction in cloud cover, not CO2 The DIY way to demystify “greenhouse gas” claims Rapidly rising temperatures and drought in parts of central Europe are caused by a long-term trend of receding cloud cover. Fewer clouds result in increased solar energy influx and reduced downpour. Both factors […]

Both the history of the Holocene as well as trends from recent decades continue to undermine claims of unprecedented sea level or coastal changes operating in tandem with rising CO2 concentrations. Per a new published study (Martins et al., 2023), during the Mid-Holocene (~7000 to ~4000 years ago), when CO2 was a “safe” ~265 ppm, […]

Germany moves to roll out a “vegan surveillance state” The German government’s SRU Council on the Environment recommends all citizens be limited to a meat equivalent of just 2 sausages a month in an all-encompassing totalitarian behavior control plan. Back to the old Communist days, and perhaps even worse. Image: East Berlin, 1988. Photo: Laurent […]

A new study utilizing satellite observations determines Antarctic-wide ice shelves gained 661 Gt of mass from 2009 to 2019. An approach relying on assumptions of an unrealistic “steady state” or fixed calving flux (instead of real-world time-variable observations) estimates a net Antarctic ice shelf loss of -20,028 Gt over this same 11-year period – a […]

Climate science gets violently shaken up! Sediment core analyses show hurricanes were more frequent when the globe was cool, during the Little Ice Age. Germany’s “klimanachtrichten” (climate news) here reports on surprise findings concerning hurricanes frequency. It turns out hurricanes were more frequent during the Little Ice Age, when global temperatures were a degree colder, […]

Germany’s DWD national weather service has released the preliminary figures for Germany’s mean temperature and precipitation for May, 2023. The month was normal in terms of temperature using the 1991-2020 climate mean and drier than normal. May has shown no warming trend for almost four decades By Stefan Kämpfe, EIKE Those who hoped for compensation […]

“[N]o numerical modeling work has shown that Thwaites Glacier is currently undergoing an irreversible retreat.” – Gudmundsson et al., 2023 It was only months ago that mainstream US journalists published articles claiming the Thwaites “Doomsday” Glacier has only “a few more years” until it collapses into the sea (ABC News, CBS News). This “spine-chilling” catastrophe […]
