A recent investigative interview by Apollo News featuring former Hamburg Environmental Senator and energy expert Fritz Vahrenholt has sparked intense debate over the stability of Germany’s power grid and the future of its industrial economy. As Germany aggressively transitions away from traditional baseload power and over to erratic renewable energies like wind and sun, government […]

Recent Germany forecasts of “never seen before heat” coming next week are already fizzling out. OI course there’s going to be some hot weather next week, but probably nothing like the click-baiting media have been warning. Snowfan at “wobleibtdieerderwaermung” reports today that none of the ECMWF models is predicting a heat wave and that they […]

Greenland is halfway through its current (2025-2026) melt season. So far it’s not looking good for the alarmist narrative. Image Source: Polar Portal For perspective, there is more ice and snow on Greenland today than for nearly any other period in the last 10,000 years. Image Source: Larocca and Axford, 2022

Wind energy means a large-scal technological regression Image: EIKE In his presentation at the Climate and Energy Conference held by the Germany-based European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE) in Halle, Prof. Horst-Joachim Lüdecke explored the energy efficiency of wind turbines and finds that it is a terribly inefficient way to produce electricity. Prof. Horst-Joachim […]

“…a distinct pattern of water vapor suppressing the [sea surface temperature] diurnal amplitudes at low latitudes” – Harris et al., 2025 Observations show morning-to-evening sea surface warming amplitudes can exceed 5°C. Water vapor (WV), the greenhouse gas (GHG) mostly responsible for Earth’s greenhouse effect, adds ~0.1°C warming to this 5°C diurnal change in the high […]

Radiative forcing imbalances are predominantly elicited by anomalies and trends in surface solar radiation, which is modulated by aerosol and cloud albedo. New research indicates that from 1750 to present there was a total net -10.95 W/m² surface radiative forcing (RF) over South Asia. This negative radiation imbalance – a cooling effect – has been […]

Munich’s first ever water restrictions ever (by its first-ever Green mayor)… €50,000 fine if kids caught cooling themslves under a garden hose! Real or feigned emergency? Germany’s online BILD reports on drastic water bans just implemented by the city of Munich due to what he dubiously claims to be “an ongoing water shortage.” Following a […]

“Slight warming of the air is also observed with [100,000 ppm] CO2 but is close to the temperature resolution of the sensors with ±0.1°C. Given an approximately 400 times lower CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, this warming is likely negligible.” – Schnell and Harde, 2026 New lab experiment research shows that the addition of 100,000 […]

French authorities seem to prefer seeing citizens suffer through heatwaves – and die by the thousands – than utilizing modern air conditioning. Image by P.

Today’s climate models are so inaccurate they must be improved a hundredfold just to detect a CO2 signal in climate change. Though clouds “are the largest moderator of Earth’s radiation budget and their absorption of solar radiation directly influence our understanding of climate change,” NASA’s models of the cloud capacity to alter solar radiation diverge […]

Highest level in 13 years… Higher than the 1980s average! The analysis by the Canada Ice Service (chart below) shows that on July 6, 2026. sea ice extent in the Western Arctic, including the Northwest Passage, reached approximately 1.29 million km². That’s higher than the average of the 1980s. Hat-tip: Snowfan This marks the second-largest […]
