Share this…FacebookTwitterA recent paper published in the Swedish journal Geografiska Annaler: Series A, Physical Geography authored by Holmlund and Holmlund, found that the strongest melts of the Storglaciären in Sweden occurred between the 1930s and 1960s. The glacier mass then even increased from the early 1970s to the mid 1990s. According to the authors, geodetic […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterSeveral new studies use evidence from temperature-sensitive plant species and megafauna remains to reconstruct an Arctic climate that was 6°C to 22°C warmer than today when CO2 concentrations lingered near 300 ppm. Navigating the Arctic Ocean William Barentsz discovered Arctic Svalbard as he sailed through an open-water Arctic Ocean using a wooden boat in […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterThe perspective that polar bears are endangered by global warming because reduced sea ice limits their seal-hunting opportunities is contradicted by observations of (a) polar bears thriving (body condition) during melt season, and (b) no trends in reduced seal consumption by polar bears in the 21st century. From the 1880s to 1940s, the Arctic’s […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterLately we’ve been hearing reports of how Arctic sea ice has (unexpectedly) reached normal levels this winter. This is a bit of good news which the media avoid mentioning. But the resurgence of Arctic ice has hardly been good news for global warming alarmists, and especially for the 300 crew members of German high-tech […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterExperts: polar bears and winter snow on the increase The online Japanese Independent Web Journal (IWJ) reports on a leading figure in polar bear research, Dr. Susan Crockford, who says “polar bears will not become extinct due to climate change” and that “in fact, polar bears have increased rather than become extinct!” Crockford’s findings […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterArctic Surprise By Professor Fritz Vahrenholt A few days ago, an international research group from the USA, Canada and Switzerland led by Lorenzo Polvani of Columbia University (New York) published a sensational study in Nature climate change, which attributes a large part of the warming of the 20th century to CFCs (“Substantial twentieth-century Arctic […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterGreenland’s largest glacier (Jakobshavn) has quite abruptly thickened since 2016. The thickening has been so profound the ice elevations are nearly back to 2010-2011 levels. The nearby ocean has cooled ~1.5°C – a return to 1980s-era temperatures. The world’s glaciers have not been following along with the CO2-driven catastrophic melting narrative. Alaska For example, […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterBy Kirye and Pierre Gosselin Northern Europe and the Arctic show signs of winter cooling over the past decades. Could the global warming theory be in for an upset? Looking at January data over the northern Europe, we see no real warming trend for the month, according to data from the Japan Meteorological Agency […]

Arctic sea ice extent has “continuously” grown for ~4800 years, with modern conditions a bit lower than the peak of the last few centuries. Image Source: Syring et al., 2020 In a new […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterIn 2019, more than 440 scientific papers were published that cast doubt on the position that anthropogenic CO2 emissions function as the climate’s fundamental control knob…or that otherwise serve to question the efficacy of climate models or the related “consensus” positions commonly endorsed by policymakers and mainstream media sources.

The following chart shows northern hemisphere snow cover for fall, where we see a formidable upward trend: Next we see the chart for wintertime northern hemisphere snow cover. […]

According to a just-published Geophysical Research Letters paper (van der Bilt et al., 2019), not only were surface temperatures 7°C warmer than today in High Arctic Svalbard due […]
