CO2 concentrations have risen from 310 ppm to 410 ppm since the 1930s. However, there has been no net change in Arctic or Greenland temperatures during these last 90 years. During the Pliocene, CO2 also ranged between about 300-400 ppm, but the Arctic was 15-22°C warmer and sea levels 25 meters higher than today. Is […]

Greenland’s ice sheet mass losses have significantly decelerated since 2013 – a reversal from the rapid retreat from the 1990s to 2012 driven by cloud forcing and the NAO (Ruan et al., 2019). The post-2013 “relatively stable” ice sheet even gained mass during 2017-’18 (Andersen et al., 2019). Ruan et al., 2019 Decelerated Greenland […]

Our German skeptic friend Snowfan here keeps us up to date on the latest ODEN “Ship of Fools” attempt to travel across an Arctic that is supposed to be ice-free by now. The incentive to cross the Arctic passages in the summer is huge. Doing so would mean at least a week of fame with […]

Where have all the globe-trotting climate ambulance chasers gone? Well, they’re nowhere to be found in Europe nowadays. Hat-tip: Snowfan in Germany The reason is the unusual cold that has swept across a large swath of the continent and which has sent temperatures plummeting to near freezing. Icebox July: Parts of Central Europe saw ground […]

Geothermal heat flux can foment upper mantle temperature anomalies of 800–1000 °C, and these extreme heat intensities have been found to stretch across 500 km of central-east Greenland. This could result in “a significant contribution of ice melt to the ice-drainage system of Greenland” (Artemieva et al., 2019). Evidence of more than 100,000 formerly or currently […]

Again and again photos are being taken out of context and wild climate alarm stories are being fabricated from them. And once the pictures have made it around the world, those involved end up having to backpedal a few later. In June 2019 it happened again. This time it was a dog sled photo from […]

Reports of shrinking sea ice are fake news By Snowfan (June 19) The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) expects sea ice extent growth in June 2019: The DMI plot for the development of Arctic sea ice area (extent) from June 1979 to the PROGNOSE for June, 2019. Since 2010, i.e. 9 years ago, the sea ice […]

In the first 5½ months of 2019, over 200 scientific papers have been 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 ²²²²mainstream media sources. These […]

By Kirye and P. Gosselin Once predicted to be ice-free by climate “experts”, the Arctic ice has not lost any volume over the current decade. Using the modelled ice volume data from the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI), we see June 15 volume trend has been flat since 2010: Data source: DMI Next we examine the […]

At Twitter NoTricksZone’s contributor Kenneth Richard posted this paper appearing in the Journal Science in 2011. The papers find that “summer temperatures during the HTM in North Greenland were 2° to 4°C warmer in this part of the Arctic. Atmospheric CO2 concentrations back then of course were much lower than the historically very modest 410 […]

No Reason For Panic: The Oscillating Gulf Stream By Die kalte Sonne (German text translated/edited by P Gosselin) Image: NASA JPL (public domain) The Gulf Stream provides heating for Western Europe. Some climate activists paint horror scenarios on the wall that the Gulf Stream is slowing down or even stopping due to climate change – […]

Modelled data by the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) show that Arctic sea ice stopped shrinking 13 years ago, defying earlier predictions made by climate scientists and models. By Kirye and Pierre Gosselin A few days ago we showed how Antarctica’s coastal stations were in fact cooling somewhat rather than warming. This came as a surprise […]
