All that glisters green is not gold… The electric car market is reeling in Europe…Germany’s electric car ambitions have taken another body blow as Swedish Northvolt declares bankruptcy in USA. The massively taxpayer-subsidized gigafactory now under construction in Heide is in jeopardy and becoming a huge embarrassment for Germany’s Socialist-Green government.

Even though atmospheric CO2 rose from 337 ppm in 1979 to 420 ppm in 2022, there is no evidence of a warming trend across Antarctica during this period. According to a new study, Antarctica’s station data indicate a pronounced cooling trend by over -1°C (-0.53°C per decade) from 1979-1999. The cooling trend thereafter slowed to […]

She made Germany the sick old economic man of Europe and the world. No one has arguably transformed Germany more fundamentally than Angela Merkel, Germany’s first female chancellor. Under Merkel, Germany allowed hundreds of thousands on immigrants to pour into the country, forever changing the German culture fabric. Her policies also crippled Germany’s energy supply […]

More evidence has emerged suggesting there is more sea ice in the Arctic today than nearly any time in the last 8000 years. According to a new study, biomarker evidence suggests the Barents Sea (Arctic) was seasonally “ice free” from ~8000 to ~2100 years ago, or back when the CO2 concentration was said to be […]

Germany’s CO2 tax is set to increase from the current 45 euros a tonne to 55 euros at the turn of 2025… This will drive up heating and energy costs consumers and businesses. Hat-tip: Blackout News The hefty rise means the tax on CO2 will almost double in just 2 years. In 2023, the carbon […]

The Little Ice Age By Klimanachrichten The period between 1250 and 1860 is also known as the Little Ice Age. We have already reported on it several times here. The Little Ice Age was the undoing of the Franklin expedition, among others. In search of the Northwest Passage, the crew failed because of the ice, […]

Paul Homewood wrote about poorly sited weather stations in Great Britain, thus making readings and climate data rather questionable. The European Institute for Climate And Energy (EIKE) now reports of Great Britain’s phantom weather station network: one third of all its stations don’t actually exist. By Maurice Forgeng. Original article: Epoch Times here. “All climate forecasts […]

Fundamental components of the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) paradigm fail molecular chemistry. According to a new study, the notion that we can and must reduce atmospheric CO2 so as to avoid climate catastrophe (e.g., runaway global warming or ocean acidification) does not withstand probing academic scrutiny. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a mitigation strategy […]

New research indicates there has been no reduction in sea ice in Antarctica’s Robertson Bay (Ross Sea) during the last century. Instead, the frigid Little Ice Age and its expanded sea ice conditions continue unabated through the 20th and 21st centuries. Between ~8000 and 3500 years before present the Antarctic ice sheet experienced several millennia […]

The CO2 scam and “climate denial” German researcher concludes CO2 warming immensely exaggerated…. IR radiation of clouds considerably reduces the greenhouse effect of CO2.” The prosperity and political stability of our countries are in grave danger. The reason for this is an ideology that claims catastrophic climate change caused by the alleged “greenhouse gas” CO2 […]

Any 21st century ice melt across Greenland cannot be due to an accelerated warming trend, as the island as a whole has been cooling since the 1990s. New research analyzes two decades of Greenland land surface temperature (LST) data. Contrary to the popular narrative of a significant warming trend, Greenland has instead cooled from 2000-2019 […]
