Another solar farm gets wrecked by hailstorm…toxic chemicals now threaten environment On March 16th, near Needville Texas, thousands of solar panels were destroyed by a powerful hailstorm, causing significant damage to a large 10,000-acre solar farm in the area. It’s tornado season! The storm brought baseball-sized hail and smashed the solar panels at the Fighting […]

At Klimanachrichten, Dr. Ludger Laurenz looks how solar influence on rainfall in Germany. Precipitation patterns linked to the 22-year Hale cycle. While droughts and periods of heavy precipitation in Germany are often blamed on CO2 climate change by the media and pseudo-experts, Laurenz sees a clear link to the 22-year solar Hale cycle. This can […]

Planners and governments keep denying vulnerability. Europe is still considering massive solar energy plants along sun-rich North Africa in order to produce hydrogen gas that could be piped over the European mainland, despite having concluded 10 years ago that such projects wouldn’t pay off. In the latest push, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Robert Habeck […]

The globe’s cities are warming primarily due to declining albedo, not CO2 radiative forcing. According to a comprehensive new study published in Remote Sensing of Environment, CO2 fertilization has led to an enhanced greening trend in 72.6% of cities across the world since 1985, accelerating to 89.2% since 2001. Per the authors, this greening trend […]

We introduce the green boondoggle debacle of Erfstadt, Germany. In 2018, with pomp and fanfare, the German town of Erfstadt opened a 90-meter test stretch solar bike path: Among those there for the grand opening was the German Minister of Environment, Svenja Schulze of the SPD socialist party. Little did the dignitaries in attendance know, […]

“The first modern GSM1 [Grand Solar Minimum] occurs in 2020 – 2053 with the cycle amplitudes reduction to 80% in cycle 25, to 30% in cycle 26 and to 70% in cycle 27 from the maximum amplitude of cycle 24.” − Zharkova et al., 2023 Per a new study, Earth’s Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) has […]

Mysteriously, warming is happening across the solar system. The one common factor is at the center of it all: the sun. The solar system’s powerful sun. Artist’s image of a solar storm hitting Mars, stripping ions from the planet’s upper atmosphere. Image: NASA, public domain. Because man is burning fossil fuels, our planet is allegedly […]

Nearly all of the alleged anthropogenic link to climate change can be removed simply by exchanging and/or replacing biased temperature and solar activity data sets. A new study authored by 37 scientists in the journal Climate finds using rural-only Northern Hemisphere temperature data (i.e., removing artificial, non-climatic urban heat effects) reduces the post-1850 warming trend […]

Multimillion dollar solar project gets reduced to a heap of toxic rubble by one single hail storm. The Scottsbluff, Nebraska 5.2 MW Community Solar project was part of the NPPD’s Sunwise program that consisted of an array has over 14,000 solar panels. It’s reported that it had been put into operation in 2019. Surely the project […]

Those who refuse to learn by reading will end up learning by feeling. Great Britain is finding out that going without coal power is a lot easier said than done. They don’t work well in the winter either. Photo: P. Gosselin Summer temperatures in the UK have boosted the demand for electricity, and so the […]

A new study exposes the uncertainty in solar activity reconstructions, but suggests solar models explain climate changes far better than atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Proxy model estimates of the impact of solar variability on climate are highly uncertain. For example, estimations of the increase in solar irradiance over the last 400 years range anywhere from 0.75 […]

Scientists have once again affirmed the 2000-2020 total greenhouse effect (longwave) forcing has been declining in recent decades just as absorbed solar radiation has been increasing due to cloud albedo modulation. The latter explains the net positive Earth Energy Imbalance (EEI) and consequent global warming during this period. Recently we detailed the satellite-observed decline in […]
