Germany approaching energy state of emergency…shutdown of heavy industries. The consequence: another economic body blow the country cannot afford…gross policy negligence As Germany’s heating gas supply becomes increasingly tense and nears emergency low levels, policymakers will likely blame a “colder than normal winter.” But that claim will not hold. The real reason: It is what […]

Modern climate science is constructed on a foundation of belief. Svante Arrhenius is known as the “godfather” of the CO2 greenhouse effect. Today’s climate models are still based on his 1896 thought-experiment calculations of CO2’s imagined capacity to warm Earth’s surface (71% water) out of a frozen solid state by tens of degrees. His one-dimensional […]

Decades of satellite data confirm the globe has been substantially greening – as defined by rising Leaf Area Index (LAI) values – since the 1980s. The CO2 fertilization effect (CFE) enhances plant productivity via improved light use efficiency and water use efficiency. In other words, with elevated CO2, photosynthesis rates are not as hampered as […]

Germany’s shift to green energy has really turned into a nightmare. It’s the dead of winter and already the first heating gas storage facility in Germany is near empty, only 6% full! Storage facility. Symbol image generated by Grok Germany desperately needs to pray for a warm February miracle if the country is to […]

Record cold at the South Pole … Amundsen-Scott Station records -61.3°C … coldest October temperature in Southern Hemisphere since 1981. The German, realist European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE) presents its latest video on the subject of Antarctica and contrasts the new records with mainstream media coverage of climate change. On October 15, 2025, […]

“[D]uring the last 6 ky, repeated, meter-scale, rapid (<300 y) rises alternated with meter-scale falls…interpreted as global.” – Higgs, 2026 A new study uses excavation evidence (wall ruins, coins, pottery) to suggest sea level rise (SLR) rates reached ~4 m in ~70 yrs (60 mm/year, or 20 times the modern rate of 3 mm/year) from […]

German energy channel Energie & Outdoor Chiemgau looks at the heating gas supply in Germany, which is steadily approaching a tense phase as storage levels dwindle. If Germany’s cold January continues as forecasts suggest, natural gas rationing will be likely. Image cropped here. This January is described as one of the coldest in the last […]

Across the globe, vermetid gastropods (shelled snails, or molluscs) are a “critical paleo-sea level indicator” for ancient coastline reconstructions (Angulo et al., 2026). Along the Brazilian coast, vermetid shell radiocarbon ages indicate the relative sea level (RSL) was “more than 2 m above present” between 6000 and 7000 years ago. (The charts shown in the […]

German philosopher Schopenhauer: Stupidity creates certainty while intelligence creates doubt…Why climate alarmists are, well, idiots. German philosopher Authur Schopenhauer The video, Why ‘Idiots’ Think They’re Intelligent — Schopenhauer, reminds us a lot of all the idiots out there who are convinced of the AGW crisis and why they believe the absurdity, and lots of other […]

“Remarkably, we found here that species-level extinctions related to climate change have not significantly increased over the last approximately 200 years.” – Saban and Wiens, 2025 According to many recent studies intended to alarm the public about the consequences of tenths-of-a-degree warmer surface air temperatures, “20-30% of all plant and animal species may be lost […]

Doping cows…””In some cows, the rumen no longer functions.” The Germany-based European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE) presents its latest climate video, Number 243, and discussed the use of the feed additive Bovaer (3-nitrooxypropanol / 3-NOP), which is designed to reduce methane emissions from cattle. Symbol image by P. Gosselin To meet climate targets, […]

A large portion of the Greenland ice sheet that is today over 500 m thick did not exist during the Early to Mid Holocene. Prudhoe Dome (PD), a 2500 km² section of northwestern Greenland’s ice sheet (GIS), is today 500 to 600 m thick (Walcott-George et al., 2026). Approximately 6000-8000 years ago, or when atmospheric […]
