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…FacebookTwitterTwo recent scientific publications underscore how mass extinction events are associated with global cool-offs, glaciation and sea level fall, and NOT warmer climates. Life thrives when the globe gets tropically warm. Photo credit: NASA, public domain There’s been a lot of hype and hysteria surrounding the claims that the recent, modest global warming supposedly […]

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 […]

The Medieval Warm Period was about 1°C warmer than present overall while the “largely ice-free” Arctic was 4°C warmer, allowing the Vikings to […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterBy Kirye and Pierre Gosselin Whenever NASA GISS announces how recent global temperatures are much hotter than, for example, 100 years ago, just how statistically reliable are such statements? Most will agree, based mainly on sundry observations, that today is indeed warmer than it was when surface temperatures began to be recorded back in […]

Rising CO2 leads to Antarctic cooling.

It has long been established that exposure to extremely low temperatures induce coral bleaching and high mortality rates just as much as warm SSTs do. Further, colder periods – which are associated with […]
