Share this…FacebookTwitterFailure to correct the “coarse temporal resolution” of pre-1970s maximum daily rainfall data changes the sign of trend analysis from slightly positive to solidly negative in the last century (1921-2020). Those who ascribe to the position that humans can control the weather by engaging in fossil-fuel related activities (such as using planetary-heating smartphones) literally […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterRecent reconstructions suggest CO2 concentrations may have ranged between 150 and 600 ppm (or more) throughout the last 4 million years. We routinely see screaming headlines such as CO2 in the Atmosphere Climbs to Highest Level in 4.5 Million Years or Carbon Dioxide Levels Reach Highest Point in Human History. However, these claims that […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterTwo weeks before Dr. Michael E. Mann and colleagues published their 23 April 1998 “hockey stick” chart in Nature, a peer-reviewed journal published a paper asserting “an overwhelming majority of climate scientists” (50 out of 60) view catastrophic human-caused global warming – and even global warming itself – as an “unsupported assumption”. At the […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterA new study uses existing temperature and CO2 records and albedo/natural variability attribution to suggest most of the recent warming is natural. The climate sensitivity to CO2 forcing is just over 0.2°C for a 100 ppm concentration increase. Dr. Syun-Ichi Akasofu is an “expert in aurora physics, solar physics, geophysics, and magnetosphere” and the […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterFrom about 14,000 to 12,000 years ago, when CO2 hovered around a “safe” ~240 ppm, Siberian Arctic July temperatures reached ~8 to 12°C, which is at least 4°C warmer than today (Andreev et al., 2008). Grass grew 300-350 days a year in the late stages of the last glacial in the Siberian Arctic. This […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterDuring the Medieval Warm Period surface temperatures were 1-1.3°C warmer and sea levels 1 meter higher in the southern Far East Russia study region. Another new study (Lyashchevskaya et al., 2022) casts doubt on the claims of an unprecedentedly warm modern climate. Even though the atmospheric CO2 levels were a “safe” 265 ppm, the […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterScientists admit that 3 different Greenland Summit (GISP2) temperature reconstruction “strategies” produce 3 different paleoclimate temperature results. The reconstructions chosen as the most “robust” are therefore the ones that align best with the authors’ presuppositions. In a new study published in Quaternary Science Reviews scientists (Döring and Luenberger, 2022) report they reject a reconstruction […]

Share this…FacebookTwitter15% of modern global warming (ocean) can be attributed to geothermal heat fluxes through the sea floor that persistently heat the ocean. Evidence of more than 100,000 formerly or currently active volcanic vents permeate the Earth’s sea floor (Kelley, 2017). Active volcanoes spew 380°C sulfuric acid and “metal-laden acidic fluids” into the bottom waters […]

A new study (Weiss et al., 2022) indicates Baltic Sea regional surface temperatures ranged between 21-24°C from ~5.7 to 7.7 ka (thousand years ago). This period is referred to as the Baltic’s Holocene Thermal Maximum. Temperatures dipped to […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterScientists continue to assert CO2-induced global greening will continue unabated in the 21st century…just as it has since the 1980s. As Earth’s surface becomes greener, it becomes cooler, offsetting much of the projected warming. Satellite observations affirm the planet has become much greener over the last 4 decades, and this greening trend is largely […]
