There is nothing unprecedented or even significant about modern warming magnitudes or rates. Antarctic ice cores are routinely used to represent not only global-scale CO2 records, but global temperature records over the last 800,000 years. Interestingly, if we compare modern Antarctica to paleo Antarctica we learn “no continent-scale warming of Antarctic temperature is evident in the […]

Climate changes fostered by “unforced natural climate variability” may be more than an order of magnitude larger than the climate changes commonly attributed to anthropogenic forcing. In a new study, scientists have attempted to identify the mechanisms explaining Greenland’s many historical (~80,000-11,700 years ago) climate changes that amounted to 10-15°C “in a decade or two.” […]

Media, “experts” blame global warming for surging glaciers! The article from Germany’s online Merkur discusses a seemingly paradoxical but dangerous phenomenon in the context of climate change: glacier “surges” (sudden advances). Symbol image of a Karakoram glacier, generated for illustration purposes only by Grok AI. While glaciers worldwide are said to be shrinking due to […]

The Sahara Desert has shrunk, satellite images confirm…evidence of a real ecological shift For decades, the narrative surrounding the Sahara was one of unstoppable desertification—a vast, arid landscape slowly swallowing everything in its path, including Europe alarmists have warned. Symbol image generated by Grok AI However, recent scientific findings are painting a much more hopeful […]

Warming across Germany in the last 3 decades can be explained by declining cloud and aerosol albedo and consequent rising solar radiation. Not CO2. Another new study affirms clouds and aerosols play a key role in explaining trends in solar surface radiation (SSR), which is “essential for the global energy cycle driving the climate system.” […]

Pollen-reconstructed New Brunswick (Canada) spring temperatures affirm the Medieval Warm Period or Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA, 900-1400 CE) was 1°C warmer (3.2°C vs. 2.2°C) than both the Little Ice Age (LIA, 1400-1850 CE) and modern period (1850 to present). Other sites in this region also show no net warming since the 1800s and 1-3°C cooling […]

Euronews.com here reports that coal is expanding rapidly as again more than fifty large coal-fired power plant units were connected to the grid worldwide. Coal power plants rapidly came on online worldwide. Symbol image, created by Grok AI China is showing less concern for CO2’s possible impact on the climate and went ahead and commissioned […]

For the last 3000 years the Beaufort Sea region has had “permanent sea ice.” According to a new study, there was “no sea ice” in the Arctic’s Beaufort Sea from 11,700 to 8200 years ago. During this period, summer sea surface temperatures (SSTs) averaged ~7°C, varying up to 9.6°C. “The Early Holocene (11.7−8.2 ka) is […]

Victory for climate skeptics, science in the Netherlands…erased historical heat waves get reinstated The Clintel (Climate Intelligence) reports that the KNMI (the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute) has reinstated seven historical heatwaves from the pre-1950 era that had previously been “erased” from official records due to statistical adjustments. Tropical days at De Bilt, version 0, 1 […]

It’s not even mid February, and Germany’s gas storage buffer is already down to 25.5% full, and faces rationing. LNG Supply Blocked By Sea Ice German authorities hope to avert a supply shortage by importing gas from the Netherlands and Norway, and shipments of LNG. However, according to Blackout News, the LNG terminal on the […]

“D–O signals [10-16°C warming events within decades to centuries] are not just seen in Greenland – they are registered globally.” – Liu et al., 2026 From 57,000 to 29,000 years ago, with Last Glacial atmospheric CO2 concentrations flatlining at ~200 ppm, there were 11 instances when Greenland abruptly warmed by 10-16°C within a span of […]
