The belief that modern sea levels are unprecedentedly high takes another hit. In southern South America sea levels were ~6 meters higher than today from 8000-6000 years ago, when CO2 hovered around 265 ppm but it was much warmer with less ice. Sea levels then gradually fell to present levels, the lowest in 8000 years. […]

UPDATE: “The burning freighter has arrived at its new temporary anchorage after a risky transport along the Dutch Wadden Sea islands. This was announced by the water authority in The Hague on Monday. The new, less dangerous anchorage is about 16 kilometres north of the island of Schiermonnikoog,” Germany’s NIUS.de here reports. A major North […]

“Weather situation from mid to late October”…cold and rains drown heat alarmism across Europe. Highs only in the 50s and 60s Fahrenheit. NOAA August forecast for Europe flops! Early in the summer, “experts” like the NOAA had predicted a record hot and dry summer was likely for Europe. The first 6 weeks of the summer, […]

The mean annual temperature was 2-3°C warmer than present during the Holocene Thermal Maximum in arid central Asia. Over the last few millennia, Silk Road human civilizations (e.g., Sui, Tang, Ming, Yuan Dynasties) flourished during warm periods and declined during cool periods (Ding et al., 2023). The modern hydroclimate in this region does not stand […]

German meteorologist Kai Zorn says plants in Germany have enough water, drought charts designed to produce artificial panic”…heavy rains and cool weather forecast for Central Europe the next 10 days. By early summer this year, much of the the German media and authorities were outright giddy about a summer of extreme heat waves and drought, […]

“The compilation of land- and sea-surface [thermometer] uncertainty yield a 1900-2010 global air-temperature record anomaly of 0.86 ± 1.92°C (2 σ), which renders impossible any conclusion regarding the rate or magnitude of climate warming since 1850 or earlier.” – Dr. Patrick Frank (2023) The global surface air temperature record is so contaminated by systematic error […]

As Europe adventurously moves to wean itself off fossil fuels, more and more plans are being made to fill the electricity supply gap with wind energy. But one major UK wind project illustrates how they are economically risky as the economy teeters. Symbol photo. Image: P. Gosselin Blackout News here reports that Swedish energy giant […]

Germany’s radical, fear-porn health minister, Karl Lauterbach, has once again stirred controversy with another of his wild doomsday exaggerations. Italian minister of tourism unamused Nius.de here reports how Italy is “angry with the German health minister” who has been spending his summer vacation in the Italian Tuscany. Since the end of Corona and the start […]

“Climatological models…pretend on a long-term description of the atmosphere…ignoring physical laws in climatology.” – Smirnov, 2022 “[T]he Kirchoff law is neglected in climatological models. This leads to a large mistake in prediction of the global temperature change.” “[D]oubling the concentration of atmospheric CO2 molecules leads to the following change of the global temperature T = […]

“The most intense climate lie”: Last week it was all over the news: Temperatures in southern Europe skyrocketing to 48°C! But none of it was true. Surface temperature chart: European Space Agency (ESA) The hysteria was started when climate sensationalist media outlets in Germany and elsewhere, like the Relotius Spiegel, uncritically cited a sloppily and […]

Greenland’s climate and ice/snow volume have not been cooperating with the anthropogenic global warming narrative. The 1929-1931 Wegener expedition real-world observations reveal Greenland temperatures, ice extent were then “of a comparable magnitude” to recent decades (Abermann et al., 2023). The 1930 snow line was higher (more melt) than the 2000-2020 average, “similar” to the record […]
