The greening of the Earth’s vegetated areas is “attributed to CO2 fertilization, climate change, and land use changes.” New remote sensing research (Gutiérrez-Hernández and García, 2025) uses robust statistical methods to eliminate false positives and spurious correlations in establishing vegetation trends in the satellite era. The scientists find 38% of the Earth’s land surface has […]

Citing Bloomberg, Blackout News here reports that “the use of coal continues to rise sharply.” This suggests that the hundreds of billions invested annually in green energies are unable to satisfy the global demand for energy. Moreover, predictions of declining coal consumption are failing to materialize and show that green energy strategies are failing at […]

Ice shelf collapse was much more pronounced and exceptional millennia ago than it has been over the last 47 years. The advent of post-1970s “climate change” and polar amplification due to the rapidly rising trend in human greenhouse gas emissions was supposed to unleash catastrophic ice calving losses and increases in iceberg size throughout the […]

There’s no question that Germans and Europeans are much worse off than they’ve been in a very long time. This has been due to incompetent, ideological leadership shadowy and global puppeteers. Fortunately their days may soon be numbered, as 2025 offers many rays of hope. Merry Christmas! Image: P. Gosselin I’ve actually found myself longing […]

The 2013-2022 warming trend and the extreme warmth in 2023 were “not associated with” declining outgoing longwave radiation induced by rising greenhouse gases. Instead, a new study published in the journal Science contends that decreasing cloud albedo and the consequent increase in ASR, or absorbed solar radiation (+0.97 to 1.10 W/m²/decade according to ERA5 and […]

Two brief periods of wind doldrums and Germany’s power supply reaches its limits … German Chemical Industry Association: “It’s desperate.” By Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt From November 2 to November 8 and from December 10 to December 13, Germany’s electricity supply from renewable energies collapsed as a typical winter weather situation with a lull in the […]

The evidence that rising CO2 concentrations lead to inconsequential warming keeps piling up. In a new study, seven Viennese researchers provide more evidence the CO2 absorption band is already saturated at today’s concentrations (over 400 ppm). Rising CO2 levels thus cannot drive significant global warming. “Data from ground measurements indicate that the downward (backward) radiation […]

A new analysis indicates tripling the atmospheric CO2 concentration from 100 to 400 ppm only produces a 0.3°C surface warming effect. Eight engineers (Wei et al., 2024) from the National Sun Yat-Sen University in Taiwan have assessed the capacity of rising CO2 concentrations to affect surface air temperature (SAT) over a 5-year research observation period. […]

Was the Earth’s biosphere really in a largely stable CO2 balance before 1850? (Almost) all politicians, scientists from all climate disciplines, the media and international big business are telling us in unison that we are destroying the global climate and that the world is on the brink of extinction. By burning fossil fuels such as […]

Cost-benefit analyses affirm it would be better to abandon Net Zero policy initiatives and instead “do nothing” about greenhouse gas emissions. New research finds CO2’s largest possible climate impact is “negligible.” The cumulative expected temperature change in doubling CO2 from 400 to 800 ppm is only 0.81°C at most, and this is “certainly not cause […]

15 years ago, to illustrate its own demise due to the rising sea, the government of the Maldives once held a publicity stunt cabinet meeting underwater. Today, however, new airports are being built in the island state. Where’s the doom? Hat-tip: EIKE Similarly, is the story of the demise of the South Sea islands due […]

Paleoclimate evidence affirms warmth reduces drought frequency and intensity. A new study utilizes Asian tree pollen records to affirm that for the last 8000 years centennial-scale warming periods were associated with reductions in drought, famines, crop failures. “…warm periods were associated with increased precipitation along with relatively short-lived drought events.” In contrast, centuries of cooling […]
