Human footprints embedded into rock that used to be a sand beach at the limit of the seashore’s “swash flow” and high tide lie 20 to 30 meters above the present sea level. The footprints are dated to ~90,000 years ago. It is estimated that sea levels were globally about 6 to 9 meters higher […]

The “greener” Germany gets, the bloodier its economy becomes. How much can an economy bleed before it dies? Since Germany has become hostile to industry and its Green Revolution has made energy prices among the world’s highest, it’s no wonder that the country’s economy is hemorrhaging economically. Companies are shutting down and moving out. Foreign […]

“CO2 is only present in the atmosphere in trace amounts (0.04%) and lacks sufficient enthalpy to have any measurable effect on the atmosphere’s temperature.” – Nelson and Nelson, 2024 New research (Nelson and Nelson, 2024) further documents the inconsequential role that CO2 plays in climate. Less than 4% of longwave infrared radiation is absorbed by […]

Though the following video was posted 4 years ago, and has since amassed 1 million views, it clearly explains why John Cook’s paper is 97% bogus. It’s good to remind people of this video every now and then.

Across Europe there has been a downward trend in cloud and aerosol albedo over the last 40 years, allowing more solar radiation to reach the surface. This “brightening” effect thus explains recent warming. A new study (Wacker et al., 2024) from a “testbed site” in Germany reports total and direct shortwave (SW) radiation forcing rose […]

Psychology of zealots, dogmatists and radicals in a nutshell Videos on near-death experiences (NDEs) are posted everywhere. Just how many are for real and how many are click-baiting, made-up stories is impossible to tell. But I feel the following one is genuine, and offers wisdom for everyone on opposite sides of hot-button issues: What the […]

Early Holocene was warmer 10,000 years ago…Arctic ice melted. The European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE presents its latest climate video at its Youtube channel. Examined today is a paper appearing in the journal Nature Communications titled: “Seasonal sea-ice in the Arctic’s last ice area during the Early Holocene” The authors looked at sea […]

A warmer world lengthens human life, whereas a cooling world may result in “orders of magnitude” higher excess death rates. A 2022 Lancet study reported 791 heat-related excess deaths and 60,753 cold-related excess deaths in England and Wales each year during the years spanning 2000-2019. That’s an excess death ratio of about 85 to 1 for […]

Adding CO2 to the atmosphere can have no significant climatic effect when rising above the threshold of about 300 ppm. Due to saturation, higher and higher concentrations do not lead to any further absorption of radiation. If one were to paint a white surface black so as to allow it to absorb as much heat […]
