Europe's Climate Suffers From Lack Of Clouds And Rain...Not From A CO2 Increase

Europe’s Climate Suffers From Lack Of Clouds And Rain…Not From A CO2 Increase

The 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 downpour. Both factors […]

New Study: The Lowest Tibetan Plateau Glacial Temps Were Still 3°C Warmer Than Today

New Study: The Lowest Tibetan Plateau Glacial Temps Were Still 3°C Warmer Than Today

“Even the lowest pollen derived Pleistocene MAT [mean annual temperature] estimates are still ∼3.5 to 2.5 °C warmer than the modern KPB MATs [Kunlun Pass Basin] of ∼ −6.1 °C.”  – Schwarz et al., 2023 The Kunlun Pass Basin (KPB) in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau is the largest alpine permafrost region on Earth. About 4 […]

California's Mean Annual Temps Were Up To 3.8°C Warmer Than Today During The Last Glacial

California’s Mean Annual Temps Were Up To 3.8°C Warmer Than Today During The Last Glacial

From 14,000 to 45,000 years ago, when the atmospheric CO2 values were said to be under 200 ppm, California lakes record millennial-scale mean annual air temperature (MAAT) variations of over 12°C and intervals when it was nearly 4°C warmer than modern. Per a new paleotemperature reconstruction (Olson et al., 2023) from a California lake, there […]

New Study: 90% Of Recent Warming Is From Shortwave Cloud Forcing...Humans Contributed 0.03°C

New Study: 90% Of Recent Warming Is From Shortwave Cloud Forcing…Humans Contributed 0.03°C

Data 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 of temperature changes. […]

Solar Variability Linked To Climate Change...CO2 Not 'The Primary Driver For Nearly All Of Earth's History'

Solar Variability Linked To Climate Change…CO2 Not ‘The Primary Driver For Nearly All Of Earth’s History’

A new study exposes the uncertainty in solar activity reconstructions, but suggests solar models explain climate changes far better than atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Proxy model estimates of the impact of solar variability on climate are highly uncertain. For example, estimations of the increase in solar irradiance over the last 400 years range anywhere from 0.75 […]

Earth's Greenhouse Effect Has Not Been Enhanced, But Instead Its Impact Has Declined Since 1983

Earth’s Greenhouse Effect Has Not Been Enhanced, But Instead Its Impact Has Declined Since 1983

In 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 effect impact on […]

Water Vapor, Clouds Are The Real Direct Masters Controlling Our Climate

Water Vapor, Clouds Are The Real Direct Masters Controlling Our Climate

Clouds reduce the energy at the surface, i.e. they currently cool the climate.  The DIY way to demystify „greenhouse gas” claims, Part 6 Are you feeling helpless when trying to assess the veracity of “climate doom is looming” claims we are permanently bombarded with?  Don’t give up trying to understand the relevant basics, there is […]

Real-World Observation: Increasing CO2 By 7,000 ppm Has A 0.3°C Temperature Differential

Real-World Observation: Increasing CO2 By 7,000 ppm Has A 0.3°C Temperature Differential

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 concentrations in the atmospheric […]

New Research: Prolonged Exposure To 25,000 ppm CO2 'Does Not Negatively Impact Cognition'

New Research: Prolonged Exposure To 25,000 ppm CO2 ‘Does Not Negatively Impact Cognition’

The governmental need to portray elevated CO2 as dangerous to humans was recently pitted against the governmental need to require face masks be worn on healthy people. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic requiring healthy people of all ages to wear face masks in public settings became a common governmental policy – especially in […]

New Study: Atmospheric CO2 Residence Time Is Only 5 Years - Too Short To 'Affect The Climate'

New Study: Atmospheric CO2 Residence Time Is Only 5 Years – Too Short To ‘Affect The Climate’

Since the early 1990s the conventional assumption, aligned with modeling, has been that a molecule of human CO2 emission stays in the atmosphere –  its residence time – for centuries. This fits the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) narrative. But empirical evidence contradicts these model-based assumptions. Residence time is closer to 5-10 years. In Table 1 […]

Greenland Temperatures Rose 1°C In 1994 ... Since Then They Have Been 'Relatively Constant'

Greenland Temperatures Rose 1°C In 1994 … Since Then They Have Been ‘Relatively Constant’

A warming event that spans only one year, with decades of stable temperatures before and after, would not appear to align with rapidly rising human CO2 emissions or a gradually rising atmospheric CO2 concentration. From 1958 to 2020, as CO2 rose from 320 ppm to 410 ppm, Greenland had a warming period of 1°C that […]

Objective Science Assessment: Hypothesis CO2 Controls The Climate Is On Quicksand

Objective Science Assessment: Hypothesis CO2 Controls The Climate Is On Quicksand

Do you feel helpless when trying to assess the veracity of “climate doom is looming” claims we are constantly bombarded with? For ordinary citizens, it seems nearly impossible to tell right from wrong when it comes to assess such claims. Don’t give up trying to understand the relevant basics, there is a rather simple way […]
