New paleoclimate records from Europe, Scandinavia-Russia, China, and the northeastern USA indicate there has been no unusual modern warming. Instead, these newly published reconstructions show warmer periods and more rapid centennial-scale warming events occurred in past centuries, or when CO2 concentrations were much lower than they are now. United States In the late 1990s Dr. […]

Two new papers use tree ring proxy evidence to suggest modern European temperatures are neither unusual nor higher than they were during the Medieval Warm Period. Image Source: Esper et al. (2020) Esper et al. (2020) have produced a new temperature reconstruction for Southern Europe to complement past reconstructions for Northern and Central Europe. They […]

A new reconstruction for SE Greenland (1796-2013) shows temperatures have risen and fallen without any hockey-stick-like trajectories for the last 200+ years. Temperatures were warmer than today in the 1920s and 1940s and even briefly during the 1800s. If rising CO2 concentrations are a driver of Arctic warming, the 19th and 20th centuries should presumably […]

The missing context: Climate change in the Mediterranean region By the Kalte Sonne (German text translated/edited by P. Gosselin) On October 11, 2019, Spiegel Online once again shined brilliantly parroting climate alarm. The German weekly news magazine could certainly now use their former science editor, Axel Bojanowski, who looked at climate science objectively. The topic […]

Rahmstorf way off: New study finds no robust relationship between shrinking sea ice, European cold waves By Die Kalte Sonne (German text translated/edited by P Gosselin) Photo: Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research A good six years ago, Potsdam climate researcher Stefan Rahmstorf was outraged by the German Weather Service (DWD) at his at Klimalounge […]

Claims that modern temperatures are globally warmer than they were during Medieval times (~800 to 1250 A.D.) have been contradicted by a flurry of new (2019) scientific papers. Southern Ocean/SE Pacific (SSTs) The Medieval Warm Period (1100 years BP) was 1.5°C warmer than today (14°C vs. 12.5°C) in the SE Pacific or Southern Ocean. Collins […]

Two more new papers add to the voluminous paleoclimate evidence that most of the last 10,000 years were much warmer than modern. The globe was about 4 to 6°C warmer than it is today between 9000 and 6000 years ago, when CO2 concentrations centered around 265 ppm. Image Source: ScienceDaily.com Some regions exceeded the 4 […]

Early May saw a surprise heavy snowfall across parts of central Europe and near record levels for that particular time of year up in the Alps. Such events do little to bolster public confidence in the claim the globe is warming. So leave it to the ultra-alarmist Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) to […]

Democracy under attack by scientific elitists Lately we’ve been seeing a worrisome trend of questioning democracy’s effectiveness in fostering social progress. Too often we cynically hear “The average citizen is just too stupid to vote correctly at the ballot box” and important decisions should be done by “real experts”. Schellnhuber and the Potsdam Institute This […]

Could a transition in paleoclimate reconstruction be underway? More and more, scientists aren’t hiding statements or graphical depictions of the lack of modern warming or the much-warmer Holocene past. A compilation of 35 papers from across the globe indicate that modern climate is not unusual, remarkable or unprecedented, and that large regions of the Earth […]

Cold in the USA: That’s got to be climate change, right? By Die kalte Sonne (German text translated/edited in the English by P Gosselin) “Climate communicators” always have the same “right” interpretation for every weather event: It’s climate change! A warm, especially dry summer in Germany? Climate change! We reported on this just recently. Polar […]

Modern Climate Warming Is Not Dangerous, Unprecedented, Globally Pervasive Image Source: Lansner and Pepke Pedersen, 2018 Image Source: ScienceDaily.com The Hockey Stick Fails The PAGES 2k Consortium (2013) attempted to compile an unprecedented-looking hockey-stick-shaped Holocene reconstruction. Instead, it has withered under scrutiny. Analysis of the PAGES 2k data clearly shows that 20th century warmth is merely a partial […]
