A few years ago NE China was shown to be up to 7-9°C warmer than present during the Early Holocene (Zheng et al., 2018), when CO2 concentrations drifted around 260 ppm. Image Source: Zheng et al., 2018 Now two new studies indicate […]

Across the globe, no clear precipitation trends have been observed in the last several decades (Nguyen et al., 2018) Image Source: Nguyen et al., 2018 Instead of an intensification of the hydrological cycle projected […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterLooking at NASA’s Vegetation Index data, the news is good: the globe has greened 10% so far this century. That’s good news because we know this ultimately means greater crop production area and forest expansion. Ironically, what many “experts claim to be a huge problem (CO2) is in fact one of the major reasons […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterDespite media claims of increasing wildfires across the globe, data show the opposite is in fact the case: wildfires have been trending downwards since NASA started recording data. Two days ago Kenneth wrote about how paleoclimatological findings suggested wild fires in Australia and the northwestern US raged with greater frequency and regularity until 500 […]

The climate alarmist Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC) says climate protection policies are more than 5 times more expensive than they have to be. More trees are the way to go. Yet climate protection is […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterScience absurdity… “Climate experts” blame climate change for Lake Victoria record high levels, after blaming climate change for the low levels in 2006. Today we look at one particular segment of Dr. Sebastian Lüning’s highly interesting, newly released climate change news show Klimaschau (Climate View). Very low level in 2006 In it he examines […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterThe southwestern US was nearly a desert from about 9000 to 5000 years ago, when Holocene peaks in aridity, surface temperature, and wildfire rates occurred. Arctic sea ice was at its lowest extent of the Holocene during these years. Image Source: Lachniet et al., 2020 A new extensively-referenced study (Lachniet et al., 2020) reviewing […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterJust recently Anthony Watts posted an article on wildfires penned by Paul Homewood. Lately alarmists have been blaming the active forest fire season on global warming. They warn that warmer temperatures will lead to more wildfires. Is it so? First it’s important to note that warmer temperatures don’t necessarily lead to more drought and […]
