Share this…FacebookTwitterBy Kirye in Tokyo In Japan we often hear about “climate change” and how citizens are told by their elected officials that it is necessary to act quickly to combat it. Leaders worldwide want to have trillions of already scarce dollars to “mitigate climate change”. But what if there hasn’t been any real changes in […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterAs winter progresses through January and heads into February, the latest forecast tells us one thing: Global warming is not putting an end to brutal cold winter conditions like experts said it would in the early 2000s. At his Weatherbell Analytics Saturday Summary yesterday, meteorologist Joe Bastardi pretty much gave his seal of approval […]

What makes Hachijojima interesting is that it is ideal for comparing its trend to a heavily urban environment, like Tokyo’s. Hachijojima is located roughly 300 km, out to sea, from Tokyo and thus […]

Image Source: Abdussamatov, 2012 When it comes to the Sun’s influence on climate, one conclusion is certain: there is no widespread scientific agreement as to how and to what extent solar activity and its related parameters (i.e., galactic cosmic rays, geomagnetic activity, solar wind flux) impact changes in the Earth’s temperature […]

About 8,000 to 10,000 years ago, this region was 6°C warmer than today. Consequently, the region’s glaciers were much smaller (or non-existent) at […]
