Share this…FacebookTwitterLarge regions of the globe have been cooling or not warming in recent decades according to several new scientific papers. A new paper shows the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), sea surface temperatures near southern Chile, and the entire region between 50-70°S have cooled or not warmed since the early 1980s (Collins et al., […]

Share this…FacebookTwitter For over 40 years (1961-2002), the Greenland ice sheet cooled, thickened, and gained mass just as anthropogenic CO2 emissions were sharply rising. Image Source: Mikkelsen et al., 2018 According to Greenland ice sheet instrumental records, there was a dramatic cooling trend during summer months from the late 1980s to early 2000s (Chylek et […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterEven NASA says it: Without the Earth’s greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere, the planet would be on average a frigid -18°C. But because of the preindustrial 280 ppmv CO2 and other GHGs in our atmosphere, the average temperature of the Earth thankfully moves up by 33°C to +15°C (see chart below), based on […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterScientists (Bragato and Holzhauser, 2019) find natural catastrophes like tornadoes and earthquakes and pandemics like plague, cholera, and influenza “concentrate in the periods of ice expansion in Europe” whereas periods of economic expansion and a lower incidence of natural catastrophes and pandemics occur during deglaciation phases, or warm periods. Century-scale cooling can be elicited […]

September is coming to an end and signs of autumn are everywhere. On everyone’s mind now is the question of what kind of winter to expect: bitter […]

According to peer-reviewed science, Sweden was at least 3°C warmer than it is today about 6000 to 9000 years ago, when CO2 concentrations lingered around 265 ppm. At 410 ppm CO2, 21st century Sweden is colder now than almost any time in the last 9000 years. Image Source: Grudd, […]

Recently we heard reports of the earliest snowfall in Greta Thunberg’s Sweden in 20 years, and “stunning” snowfall in Norway. So it’s been strange to hear during these hysterical days of Fridays for Future (FFF) how […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterBy Kirye NASA GISS likes to go back in history and alter the temperature figures from recorded datasets from all around the world, and then declare global warming. Yet when we examine the (real) unadjusted, unaltered data, we find an entirely different story: In many places there has been little or even no warming […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterBy Kirye and Pierre Gosselin Parts of Europe have seen a couple of brief but intense heat waves this summer, and so some of the public got brainwashed by the media into thinking the continent’s summer climate is rapidly getting hotter and that all this is the new normal. Yet, when we examine the […]

The authors of a new study (Jiao et al., 2019) point out that temperature changes in the Tianshan mountains are “mainly influenced by the solar activity via the mean minimum temperature within approximately 11-year periods.” Despite some warming since […]
