According to a new study, coral proxy sea surface temperature (SST) evidence suggests the northern South China Sea (nSCS) naturally warmed and cooled at rates of 1 to 1.5°C per decade from about ~5300-5100 years ago. Image Source: Wu et al., 2026 In contrast, the nSCS temperature record has been flat to slightly declining in […]

Scientists (Yilgan and Jónsdóttir, 2026) report annual mean sea ice extent in the Greenland Sea was 8.4 times greater in 2023 (2,403.6 km²) than in 2019 (287.6 km²). In the month of January, the sea ice extent was 6.4 times larger in 2024 (20,308 km²) than in 2017 (312 km²). Hand-in-hand with the recent sea […]

The CO2-induced “polar amplification” narrative peddled by climate alarmists has just taken another hit. It has previously been shown increasing CO2 by over 120 ppm (278 ppm to 400 ppm) cools the Antarctic climate (Notholt et al., 2024). These scientists found there has been a slight (-0.01°C) overall net cooling CO2 influence since 1750. Image […]

May’s weather and Spring 2026 in the context of the last 100 years By Frank Bosse, KlimaNachrichten editor Germany’s DWD national weather service has published its monthly, preliminary, data for May 2026. These data also include the preliminary regional averages for temperature (14.1 °C) and precipitation (65 mm). In terms of temperatures, 14 of the […]

Century-scale patterns of solar activity suggest the onset of the next Little Ice Age cooling period is here. Newly published research utilizing historical solar magnetic field phase analysis documents the impact of solar activity on Earth’s temperature. Cold “Little Ice Age” periods can be reliably linked to Grand Solar Minima (GSM). For example, during the […]

“The results indicate that extremes in heat-related metrics for daily T [Max] in the summer have not increased and in fact often show modest declines since 1899, due mostly to the early heat events during 1925-1954.” – Christy, 2026 The contiguous United States (CONUS) has the most reliable and comprehensive long-term daily maximum and minimum […]

The drivers of warming and glacier retreat in Antarctic climates are not aligned with a linearly-rising trend of atmospheric CO2. Scientists (Park et al., 2026) have assessed that over the last four decades the patterns of air temperature, sea surface temperature, and glacier retreat near King George Island (just north of the northernmost tip of […]

Because cold temperatures are so much more dangerous to human health than warmth, a modest 0.5°C warming could save over 10,000 lives per year in the US. A new study indicates that from 2000 to 2020 there were 6,129 annual deaths attributable to excess summer heat across 1,514 US counties (representing 91% of the United […]

Decades of satellite data confirm the globe has been substantially greening – as defined by rising Leaf Area Index (LAI) values – since the 1980s. The CO2 fertilization effect (CFE) enhances plant productivity via improved light use efficiency and water use efficiency. In other words, with elevated CO2, photosynthesis rates are not as hampered as […]

Record cold at the South Pole … Amundsen-Scott Station records -61.3°C … coldest October temperature in Southern Hemisphere since 1981. The German, realist European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE) presents its latest video on the subject of Antarctica and contrasts the new records with mainstream media coverage of climate change. On October 15, 2025, […]

Global warming was significantly more pronounced in the early 20th century and prior to 1940, or back when CO2 emissions rates were 8.6 times lower than they were from 1983-2024. A new study using 60 million daily maximum/minimum temperatures from 1600 global weather stations across 29 countries indicates the globe warmed at a rate of […]
