“Our results showed that the global greening was still present in 2001–2020, with 55.15% of areas greening at an accelerated rate…compared with 7.28% of browning.” – Chen et al., 2024 The CO2 fertilization effect has been dominant driver of the global-scale increase in “leaf area index” (LAI), or greening, since the 1980s. Scientists have estimated […]

By Frank Bosse During weather events, how often are we confronted with the simple claim: “More heat leads to more energy available, which leads to severe storms“? This is so catchy that it can be understood with just a basic knowledge of physics. So is the claim: “The warmer the tropical sea the more severe […]

The data from Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) Pacific typhoons formed and those making landfall in Japan are now available and have been tabulated by Tony Heller’s wife, Kirye. Result: no rising trend for the past 70 years! The JMA’s data go back more than 7 decades, to 1951. First we look at the latest data from the […]

“There can be no climate equilibrium state that can be perturbed by an increase in the atmospheric concentration of CO2…” – Clark, 2023 The anthropogenic global warming paradigm has a magnitude problem – especially when it comes to the assumption that we humans can warm the ocean with our CO2 emissions. New research suggests the […]

Energy poverty is spreading in Germany. Citizens, especially seniors, can no longer afford to heat their residences Blackout News reports on how German senior citizens, who, due to high energy prices, are being increasingly forced into a life of poverty and struggling to keep warm at home. “Many pensioners can no longer pay heating costs […]

Doubling the 2005 CO2 concentration (380 ppm) to 760 ppm only produces a globally-averaged 2.26 W/m² perturbation at the top of the atmosphere (TOA). This doubled-CO2 forcing is close to 0 W/m² for large portions of the globe – including below 0 W/m² for Antarctica. The IPCC claims doubling CO2 produces a 3.7 W/m² TOA […]

“Results are somewhat in contrast to climate projections” Hat-tip: Klimanachrichten The European Space Agency (ESA) here reports on runoff and river discharge, which are important components in Earth’s water cycle. With the globe allegedly warming, drought and heatwaves are said to be more frequent and so the hotter climate should lead to reduced water runoff […]

Tokyo and Hachijō-jima island haven’t seen any warming in over 25 years, the Japan Meteorological Agency data show. Charts by Kirye The mean temperature data for 2023, for the city of Tokyo, Japan, and its Hachijō-jima island in the Pacific are now available from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). First we look at latest annual […]

New paper in ‘Nature’: Himalayan glaciers melting much more slowly than expected, researchers blame warming! Image: NASA (public domain) Germany’s online Frankfurter Rundschau (FR) reports on “baffled scientists” and how the Himalayan glaciers are cooling, yet insist the reason is global warming. The FR reports: This development is unusual because the Himalayan glaciers have continuously […]
