The phenomenon of increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane) is assumed to lead to sharply rising temperatures in polar regions, or “polar amplification.” As it turns out, it doesn’t. Per a new radiative forcing model (Notholt et al., 2024), increasing CO2 from pre-industrial to present levels (278 to 400 ppm) […]

The suggested way of doing this would be a new, very fatal pandemic, so reports One America News (OAN) Volcanologist and ultra-hysterical climate scientist Prof. Bill McGuire posted a comment on X: “If I am brutally honest, the only realistic way I see emissions falling as fast as they need to, to avoid catastrophic #climate […]

Disturbing resting seafloor CO2 is yet another way humans are believed to be heating up the planet. Only 1% of the seafloor has been molested by dragging nets through the sand (trawling) in an effort to retrieve the seafood staples we enjoy. But that’s enough to wreak havoc on the Earth’s climate at the top […]

At the European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE) YouTube account, the young EIKE climate lady delivers the latest climate video, focusing on the Himalayas, which, as some of you may recall, would go ice-free by 2030, according to Prof. Hans-Joachim Schellnhuber. The video features a paper by Salerno et al, 2023: “Local cooling and […]

A new study finds warmth-demanding species could survive in the Holocene Arctic (northern Norway) hundreds to thousands of km north of where they reside today. This affirms temperatures were “higher than today” with much less snow and ice back then. DNA evidence from a site north of the Arctic Circle indicates African wildcat (Felis lybica) […]

German weather site wetteronline.de reported “extreme winter cold” in Antarctica as the mercury plummeted to “almost minus 80 degrees Celsius” on April 29, 2024. Image: NASA And it’s not even winter yet. Hat-tip: Heinz “On April 29, almost minus 80 degrees were measured at the Russian Vostok research station. Such extreme cold is rarely reached […]

Der Spiegel reports: Germany e-car industry is a crisis headed for a catastrophe. New Tesla unsold cars now being parked in an old airfield. Germany’s 2030 e-car target now a lunatic fantasy Sales of e-cars in Germany are plummeting, signaling more trouble for the country’s move to a green society. Overall, for Q1 2024, EV […]

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 […]
