Share this…FacebookTwitterBy Kirye and Pierre Gosselin This is how alarmists operate today: Find one single extreme weather event and immediately behold it as proof of an impending climate change catastrophe. Never mind such events have happened earlier when CO2 was much lower. “Record” heat at Verhojansk Earlier this week, for example, teenage activist Greta Thunberg […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterThere is no apparent connection between Greenland’s ice melt and atmospheric CO2 concentrations. The ice that blankets Greenland today stands over 3 kilometers high. This ice volume can almost completely vanish – with just a tiny ice cap in the eastern highlands remaining – when CO2 concentrations only reach pre-1750 levels, or 260 to […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterIn recent decades there have been “notable cooling trends” throughout many regions of the globe according to several new studies. A year ago NoTricksZone (NTZ) announced Greenland Has Been Cooling In Recent Years – 26 Of Its 47 Largest Glaciers Now Stable Or Gaining Ice. Six months ago NTZ cited several scientific papers indicating […]

I was in a rush today and so was a bit less than diligent. -PG (When the wife says be ready by 7 pm, she means it!) ====================================== By Kirye, and P. Gosselin Iceland is situated in […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterToday, the region north of Svalbard is encrusted with sea ice for all but a few weeks per year and summer sea surface temperatures (SSTs) hover near 0°C. Scientists (Brice et al., 2020) have determined this same region had sea ice-free conditions last about 10 months per year while SSTs reached 4°C just ~4100 […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterDuring the Early Holocene, when CO2 levels lingered near 260 ppm, ice core records suggest surface temperatures in Iceland were about 3°C warmer than today. Iceland’s extensive lakes and glaciers topography provides a verifiable history of the region’s paleoclimates. For example, scientists can infer summer temperatures 3°C warmer than today in Iceland to account […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterPolar ice showing longer term stability. No basis for behind claims of a rapid melt. By Kirye and Pierre Gosselin We keep hearing how the ice at the poles is supposedly disappearing rapidly, yet a look at the latest data show this is not the case. Polar ice has remained steady for the last […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterScientists now acknowledge cloud cover changes “control the Earth’s hydrological cycle”, “regulate the Earth’s climate”, and “dominate the melt signal” for the Greenland ice sheet via modulation of absorbed shortwave radiation. CO2 goes unmentioned as a contributing factor. Image Source: Hahn et al., 2020 Climate modeling of factors influencing Greenland warming, surface melt have […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterA new reconstruction for SE Greenland (1796-2013) shows temperatures have risen and fallen without any hockey-stick-like trajectories for the last 200+ years. Temperatures were warmer than today in the 1920s and 1940s and even briefly during the 1800s. If rising CO2 concentrations are a driver of Arctic warming, the 19th and 20th centuries should […]

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 […]
