By Kirye and Pierre Gosselin The media like saying summers have been getting hotter, especially Europe. So Today we look at the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) July data that go back at least 20 years in Ireland, Sweden and Finland. According to the climate crisis believers, mid summer there is supposed to be getting hotter. […]

In the early 1900s, the globally-averaged distribution of calculated surface temperature estimates ranged between 14 and 15°C. For 1991-2018, HadCRUT, Berkeley, and NASA GISS also estimate today’s global temperature is about 14.5°C. Scientists estimating Earth’s surface temperature has been an ongoing pursuit since the early 19th century. A new study (Kramm et al., 2020) suggests […]

A new temperature reconstruction indicates today’s sea surface temperatures are colder than all but a few millennia out of the last 156,000 years. A Southern Ocean site analyzed in a new study (Ghadi et al., 2020) has averaged 1-2°C during glacials and 4°C during interglacials. Today, with a 410 ppm CO2 concentration, this location has […]

It’s been a rather cool summer in much of Europe so far. And just before some hot weather is about to sweep across Central Europe starting tomorrow, winter made a brief comeback – at the peak of summer – in the Alps! Image for illustration only. Source: NASA Snow down to 2300 meters “At high […]

It is claimed Earth’s surface has warmed by 1°C in the last 140 years – which is a supposedly rapid climate change. But a new study suggests the Northern Hemisphere surface naturally cooled by 1°C in 8 or 9 years, then warmed up again by 1°C within decades during the Late Antique Little Ice Age. […]

A new study finds China’s 2016 “cold wave” – a sudden 6°C temperature plunge below the average, sustained over several days – resulted in a dramatic increase in cold-related deaths for a period of 5 weeks. Since the 1980s, there have been 20 times more deaths attributable to cold weather than to hot weather (Gaspirrini […]

Germany has been seeing the opposite of the hotly projected “another record hot” summer the media blared on about earlier in May. Instead it’s been pretty cool this month. Looking at the maximum temperatures reached so far this month at major northern Germany cities, today is the first for many to see readings finally hit […]

Also the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) projects a sturdy Arctic sea ice extent for this July, meaning no falling summer ice extent trend since 2007! The climate alarms are being muffled. Snowfan here gives us the latest on global mean temperature and Arctic sea ice. After the year’s low in June 2020, with an anomaly […]

A new study documents the dominance of internal variability in decadal-scale global temperature changes and suggests we may experience a global cooling trend during the next 15 or even 30 years despite rising greenhouse gases. Maher et al. (2020) acknowledge that internal variability in global surface temperature variations is “a difficult concept to communicate” because […]

UPDATE: Here’s an even earlier version of the NASA GISS data plot of Hokitika station before all the data altering began (hat-tip Iggie). It shows temperatures had been COOLING: Source: NASA By Kirye and Pierre Gosselin We continue to hear warming horror stories coming from the island of New Zealand, and the socialist by sales […]

By Kirye and Pierre Gosselin This is how alarmists operate today: Find one single extreme weather event and immediately behold it as proof of an impending climate change catastrophe. Never mind such events have happened earlier when CO2 was much lower. “Record” heat at Verhojansk Earlier this week, for example, teenage activist Greta Thunberg tweeted […]

By Kirye (photo right) and Pierre Gosselin Today we post before-and-after mean annual temperature charts for 6 US stations in the midwest region with a low brightness index (BI), meaning low impact from the urban heat island (UHI) effect, which arises from widespread asphalt, concrete and infrastucture. The low BI index tells us that the stations are […]
