Share this… Facebook TwitterCO2 “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 […]

Share this… Facebook Twitter“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 […]

Share this… Facebook Twitter“Climatological models…pretend on a long-term description of the atmosphere…ignoring physical laws in climatology.” – Smirnov, 2022 “[T]he Kirchoff law is neglected in climatological models. This leads to a large mistake in prediction of the global temperature change.” “[D]oubling the concentration of atmospheric CO2 molecules leads to the following change of the global […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterPoliticians have gotten in the bad habit of blaming everything on climate change “to shift responsibility away from themselves”. Expert: Climate change is not to blame for everything Hat-tip: Klimanachrichten here We have to wonder what attacks Friederike Otto will face from the social media. The climate attribution researcher is quoted in […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterOver the last 210 million years [Myr], (a) CO2 falls as temperatures rise (negative correlation, r = -0.76), (b) mass extinctions occur 4.08 Myr after CO2 peaks, and (c) global warming/CO2 radiative forcing “did not cause extinction of biodiversity.” A new study has been published in Earth’s Future journal that supplements a […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterPer a new study, million-year variations in cosmic rays (CR) modulating cloud cover, which, in turn, drives variations in incident solar radiation on short- and long-term timescales, is the dominant cause of million-year climate variations, explaining all 7 Ice Age epochs over the Phanerozoic. In contrast, declining CO2 and rising solar luminosity […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterThe higher temperatures are clearly attributable to a reduction in cloud cover, not CO2 The DIY way to demystify “greenhouse gas” claims Rapidly rising temperatures and drought in parts of central Europe are caused by a long-term trend of receding cloud cover. Fewer clouds result in increased solar energy influx and reduced […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterData analysis again reveals the increase in absorbed shortwave forcing has been driving modern climate change since the 1970s. CO2 changes are more of an effect than a cause of temperature increases. Scientists have for years been pointing to the causality sequencing problem inherent in the claim that CO2 is the driver […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterThe global mean surface temperature (GMST) effects of a 1 W/m² radiative forcing, or positive/negative energy imbalance, has been obtained from the observations from the 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption. CO2’s climate effects are claimed to be many times larger than observations indicate. The observed climate sensitivity (CS) to a perturbation to Earth’s […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterIn the satellite era scientists have continued to observe the Earth’s total greenhouse effect (which includes effects from greenhouse gases and clouds) exerting an overall negative impact (cooling) on surface temperatures since the 1980s. This rules out both CO2 and an enhanced greenhouse effect as drivers of global warming. Earth’s total greenhouse […]

Share this… Facebook Twitter Surface air CO2 concentrations vary by 100s to 1,000s of ppm within a span of hours to days or weeks across the natural world. The observational evidence suggests these variations are neither driving or even causing temperature changes. According to recent field research (Mungai, 2021) conducted in Kenya, the observed CO2 […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterIt is claimed that an additional 60-75 W/m² of absorbed solar radiation can only produce a climate warming of 4-5°C. Doubling CO2 since pre-industrial times (280 to 560 ppm) is said to result in an additional 3.7 W/m² increase in radiative forcing. However, it is inconsistently claimed this ~20 times smaller value […]
