Cooling trends of up to -2.15°C per decade are not consistent with the “global warming” narrative. According to a new study (Li et al., 2025), 98% of the Central Eurasia study area (40-65°N and 50-130°E) experienced significantly declining temperatures from 2004-2020. Specifically, the region cooled by nearly -2.0°C – a rate of -1.425°C per decade […]

What Spain Has Learned Since The April 28 Blackout By Frank Bosse (Klimanachrichten) We reported here on the circumstances that caused the Spain Blackout last month: oscillations in a controlled system that were built up and contained too few integrative components, which had previously prevented this from happening. This is mainly due to the increasing […]

By Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt If you look at the climate website of the Helmholtz Association with the ambitious name “Climate Facts” under Antarctica, you will read the following: “The important mainland ice of Antarctica is disappearing, and at an increasing rate”. According to the Helmholtz Association, this is of great significance for rising sea levels. […]

DNA evidence suggests the limit of Antarctic sea ice was ~2000 kilometers farther south than it is today 2500 to 1000 years ago. Elephant seals can only breed in the Southern Ocean’s subantarctic, sea ice free waters. For example, today’s largest colony breeds on Macquarie Island (54.5°S). Scientists (Wood et al., 2025) have now identified […]

The French are finding out that combining nuclear power with unstable wind and sun is not a good idea and is a risk to the power grid. Spain recently had to learn a similar lesson in a most painful manner. Symbol image generated by Grok AI. In a recent EDF report on nuclear safety, Rapport […]

According to a new study, the recent short-term (2011-2022) decreasing Antarctic sea ice concentration (SIC) trend has not offset the overall 43-year (1979-2022) trend of increasing Antarctic SIC. The strongly negative sea surface temperatures and SIC correlation coefficient (-0.73) indicates the waters around Antarctica have undergone a long-term cooling trend. Image Source: Sahoo et al., […]

Recent studies shows that the Arctic and Antarctic have cooled over the past 2 decades, and that ice mass has gained in the Antarctic Wilkes Land-Queen Mary Land region. Hat-tip: TKP The study, “Spatiotemporal mass change rate analysis from 2002 to 2023 over the Antarctic Ice Sheet and four glacier basins in Wilkes-Queen Mary Land” […]

The Surface Mass Balance (SMB) for the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) has been remarkably stable since the 1970s. However, according to the authors of a new study (a preprint soon to be published), “in recent years, the SMB has increased on the AIS, in particular for 2022, which mostly originates from mass gain on the […]

Once considered a key technology in the green energy transition, companies are waking up and finding out that hydrogen isn’t the answer to the challenges posed by renewable energies such as wind and sun. Symbol image generated by Grok 3 AI “Instead of progress, disillusionment dominates. The EU in particular – especially Germany – is […]

A new surface air climate reconstruction method (Roberts et al., 2025) has determined neither the entire region from 60-90°S (Southern Ocean, Antarctica) nor the continental US have undergone any unusual or unprecedented warming in the modern era. The 60-90°S region had much warmer-than-modern periods throughout the last 12,000 years. Image Source: Roberts et al., 2025
