The magnitude problem persists for peddlers of Climate Alarm. During the last interglacial (LIG) 127-119k years ago atmospheric CO2 was said to be 275 ppm, and yet the global sea levels were 6-9 m higher than they are today. The higher sea levels were due primarily to the LIG’s substantially warmer temperatures, which meant that […]

Solar forcing may have a 4 to 7 times greater effect on climate change than current climate models indicate, which may mean modern climate change is predominantly natural rather than anthropogenic. Anthropogenic global warming (AGW) attribution may be significantly dependent on the choice of dataset. Advocates of AGW may only use Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) […]

Non-greenhouse gases like O2 and N2 (air) absorb radiation “almost to the same degree” as CO2 does in outdoor experiments, which is “proof that the greenhouse theory cannot be true.” – Allmendinger, 2023 A principal reason why CO2 is regarded as a special gas, the “control knob” of the globe’s surface temperature, is that it […]

CO2 “only affects a small range of long-wave re-radiation from the surface of the Earth,” and there “seems to be no connection between carbon dioxide and the temperature of the Earth.” − Harris, 2023 New research published in the MDPI journal atmosphere by Dr. Stuart A. Harris asserts past and modern climate changes are natural […]

More evidence emerges suggesting modern relative sea level (RSL) is among the lowest in several millennia. About 7000 years ago coasts were rapidly submerged beneath the sea at rates of up to 22 meters per year. Ancient shoreline elevation evidence indicates RSL along the coasts of Central Japan has fallen ~0.82 m since the 1800s […]

“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 […]

“Oddly, while the principal direction suggested by the models is ΔIn[CO₂] → ΔT, the explained variance is impressively low (10-15%) in this direction and impressively high (reaching 90%) in the opposite direction, at ΔT → ΔIn[CO₂].” − Koutsoyiannis et al., 2023 One of the most basic concepts in physics is that causes precede effects and effects […]

A stable current global sea level record has apparently been “corrected” to show accelerated rise since the 1990s. A few months ago we highlighted a new study indicating satellite observations reveal Antarctic-wide ice shelves gained +661 Gt of mass from 2009 to 2019. Instead of reporting on these actual observations, agenda-driven scientists have long been […]

“In a modified experiment, where IR emission from the heating source is present, no heating but a slight cooling of a black object is found when air is replaced by CO2. The modified experimental situation is also more like the earth/atmosphere situation.” – Seim and Olsen, 2023 Scientists Hermann Harde and Michael Schnell published a […]

More and more evidence is emerging that the modern warming trends are naturally driven, not anthropogenic. Per CERES observations the surface incident shortwave (SW) radiation anomaly increased by +1.61 W/m² from 2001 to 2019, and +1.75 W/m² from 2001 to 2021 (Ollila, 2023). This SW increase is likely due to natural variations in cloud cover […]

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 […]

Since the early 2000s there has been no net change in the Greenland ice sheet mean annual surface temperature, as well as no net change in melt extent percentage. Greenland’s ice coverage was, for most of this year (September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2023), observed to be significantly above the long-term (1981-2010) climate average. […]
