By Kirye and Pierre Gosselin It’s been a particularly mild winter in Europe this year. But that hasn’t changed the long-term trend over the past 30 years. Now that the February 2020 data have been coming in, we plot the mean February temperatures for some countries in Europe. Sweden Three of 5 stations show February […]

A new study assesses a reduction in tree cover via urbanization or by clearing forests for cropland can warm up a locality by 1°C within 10 years. In contrast, transitions from croplands and urban centers to forests leads to cooling. Europe has been cooling recently (1992-2015) from land cover transitions to forests. Image Source: Huang […]

German broadcaster RTL here reported how Northern Hemisphere snow mass has reached the highest level in years. Image: Finnish Meteorological Institute The Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) reports the total amount of snow in the northern hemisphere this winter season has been well above the long-term average from 1982 to 2012. This will come as a […]

One of Europe’s oldest temperature series goes back 300 years: Berlin-Dahlem. Cyclic behavior. Source: Free University of Berlin/Wikipedia Readers will note the mean temperatures were warmer than they are today. The 1990s and 2000s were similarly warm as they were in the mid 1700s. Moreover, the long-term trend was downward from 1760 to 1990, despite […]

From 2008 to 2016 a widespread cooling ranging from 0.6°C to more than 2.0°C has chilled effectively the entire oceanic region from E. Canada to N. Iceland to S. Europe. The cooling persists year-round and extends from the surface down to depths of 800 m. Image Source: Bryden et al., 2020 A year ago scientists […]

Experts: polar bears and winter snow on the increase The online Japanese Independent Web Journal (IWJ) reports on a leading figure in polar bear research, Dr. Susan Crockford, who says “polar bears will not become extinct due to climate change” and that “in fact, polar bears have increased rather than become extinct!” Crockford’s findings contradict […]

By Kirye and Pierre Gosselin Northern Europe and the Arctic show signs of winter cooling over the past decades. Could the global warming theory be in for an upset? Looking at January data over the northern Europe, we see no real warming trend for the month, according to data from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). […]

A new 5680-year tree-ring temperature reconstruction for southern South America (Lara et al., 2020) reveals (a) no clear warming trend in recent decades, and (b) the 18th and 19th centuries (and many centennial-scale periods from the last 5680 years) had much warmer temperatures than today. Image Source: Lara et al., 2020 In addition to finding […]

In 2019, more than 440 scientific papers were published that cast doubt on the position that anthropogenic CO2 emissions function as the climate’s fundamental control knob…or that otherwise serve to question the efficacy of climate models or the related “consensus” positions commonly endorsed by policymakers and mainstream media sources. Image Source: Collins et al., 2019 […]

A new reconstruction (Martin et al., 2020) shows peak mean annual temperatures (14°C) were 7°C warmer than today (7°C, 2009-2017) ~7800 years ago in France. In the last 200 years temperatures have fallen by ~3°C. Image Source: Martin et al., 2020 Another new study (Caillouet et al., 2019) finds little to no signficant climate changes […]

Rapid cooling in the North Atlantic has reversed regional sea level changes and has apparently spread to the Greenland ice sheet. Image Source: Chafik et al. (2019) Despite stressing global sea level rise is worrisome and due to anthropogenic warming, Chafik et al. (2019) report a distinct cooling trend in the North Atlantic that coincides […]

By Kirye and P. Gosselin Yes, climate change is real. But what they don’t tell us is that in many places that change has gone in the opposite direction of what alarmists like to have us think. Moreover, that change is obviously driven far more by natural causes, such as solar and oceanic cycles, and […]
