Share this…FacebookTwitterHumans have been recording flowering/bloom dates in China for over 1,000 years. These records affirm modern warmth in China is neither unprecedented nor unusual. Per temperature reconstructions gleaned from phenological records in poems, Central China had multiple 1-2°C warmer decades than 1961-1990 during the 1st millennium (Liu et al., 2021).

Share this…FacebookTwitterWind turbines do not reduce surface warming. They enhance it. Wind power expansion is thought to be “green,” reducing CO2 emissions and consequent surface warming. But a new study (Qin et al., 2022) affirms the warming “saved” by emissions mitigation is easily exceeded by the direct surface warming from turbine-atmosphere interactions. In assessing of […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterMultiple studies affirm negative vaccine effectiveness against the COVID-19 Omicron variant. Now there is evidence full vaccination is negatively affecting death rates. In February, 2021, the Big Pharma-endorsed claim that the new mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are 95% effective against infection with COVID-19 was wholly adopted by governments across the world. What did the falsely […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterWe have updated our “Extremely Low CO2 Climate Sensitivity” scientific paper list with new papers added from 2021 and some newly discovered papers from the past. As of 2016 this list had only 50 papers on it (as indicated by the web address). In less than 6 years the list has grown to 137 […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterContrary to what would be expected with alarmingly high sea level rise rates, shorelines across the world are expanding rather than retreating into the sea. A few months ago we highlighted an analysis of the post-2000 net expansion (from 1007.60 km² to 1069.35 km², or +6.1%) in coastal land area for 221 Pacific and […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterAn observational assessment undermines claims that elevated CO2 levels are harmful to humans. Every year there are several papers published attempting to establish CO2 as a pollutant in indoor settings. This has likely served to scare people to regard elevated CO2 levels as dangerous – which is almost certainly the intent. For example, I […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterOver 700 low-lying islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans have coasts that have been stable to expanding in size since the 1980s. The relative sea level rise has only been +0.46 mm/year in these regions with “almost trivial acceleration of +0.0091 mm/year²”. The claim that sea levels are rising so fast that low-lying […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterMultiple scientific studies and testing data compiled by national health centers expose the harrowing truth: injection with COVID-19 vaccines actually increase the likelihood of infection with the Omicron variant. There were 1.61 million new COVID cases confirmed on 29 December. This is hundreds of thousands more than any other single day since the pandemic […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterThe cryosphere is failing to cooperate with the anthropogenic global warming narrative that says rising greenhouse gas emissions should be catastrophically melting Arctic ice. Scientists (O’Regan et al., 2021) report Ryder Glacier in north Greenland has advanced 2,881 m from 1948-2015 given its advancing rate of 43 m/yr-1. Its modern ice extent is about […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterThe net climate forcing from albedo changes can account for the increase in ocean heat content in recent decades. Scientists (Goode et al., 2021) have determined Earth’s albedo declined from 1998-2017, driving a +0.5 W/m² net increase in absorbed solar radiation, a positive energy imbalance. Image Source: Goode et al., 2021 The authors report […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterAstrophysicists conclude climate models are deeply flawed. Doubling CO2 to 560 ppm only elicits about 1°C warming. Dr. Frank Stefani is an astrophysicist who has published several recent papers (Stefani et al., 2016, Stefani et al., 2017, Stefani et al., 2018, Stefani et al., 2019, Stefani et al., 2020) on the role of solar […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterA summary of some of the latest research affirms COVID vaccine effectiveness at preventing and reducing disease/viral load is very temporary and prone to disappearing. This suggests shot after shot in perpetuity is required to maintain one’s “vaccinated” status. Disturbing research on the waning effectiveness of COVID vaccines has been elevated from the pre-print to […]
