Share this…FacebookTwitterA new study indicates nearly all the Northern Hemisphere and Tropical warming in the last 40 years occurred by the late 1990s. CO2 has risen by about 50 ppm since 1998 (367 to 418 ppm). Interestingly, upper-air measurements of temperature from balloon-borne sensor radiosonde data, shown below in the image from a new study […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterSince 2000 there has been a natural reduction in net air-sea fluxes at the same time there has been rapid warming in the Indian Ocean. This affirms anthropogenic surface forcing cannot explain the recent warming in at least half the global ocean. The Indian Ocean covers approximately 20% of the ocean surface, but this […]

According to Dieng et al., 2017, global sea surface temperatures (SST) cooled slightly (-0.006°C/decade) from 2003 to 2013. This reduced the overall 1950-2014 warming rate to 0.059°C per decade.

New studies on the Atlantic current system assess the threshold between natural fluctuations and a climate change-driven evolution 25 April, 2022/Kiel, Germany. With a new publication in the scientific journal Nature Climate Change, researchers from Kiel once again contribute to the understanding of changes in the Atlantic […]

By Die kalte Sonne (Translated, edited by NoTricksZone) It was supposed to be a groundbreaking forecast, the early prediction of the weather phenomena El Niño and La Niña. Both affect the weather in very different ways. It would have been so nice to know a year […]

Share this…FacebookTwitter15% of modern global warming (ocean) can be attributed to geothermal heat fluxes through the sea floor that persistently heat the ocean. Evidence of more than 100,000 formerly or currently active volcanic vents permeate the Earth’s sea floor (Kelley, 2017). Active volcanoes spew 380°C sulfuric acid and “metal-laden acidic fluids” into the bottom waters […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterBefore their approval, largescale projects in Germany – almost without exception – have to be studied to determine their impacts on the surrounding environment. This step seems to be ignored for North Sea wind farms. Hat-tip: Die kalte Sonne. Wind farms are altering the North Sea Atmospheric wakes extending from the bottom to the […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterScientists say there’s just too little data available to suggest the Gulf Stream is slowing down, and there won’t be in the next five years. Die kalte Sonne looked at the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, the system of surface and deep currents in the Atlantic Ocean that – among other things – transports warmer […]

Mueller Politicians, scientists of all disciplines, the media and big money tell us CO2 acts as a “greenhouse gas” trapping heat inside the atmosphere and that the consequence will be a runaway global warming if we do not stop the burning of any type […]

Motes Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) is quantitatively driven by a steady relative humidity decrease of 0.13%/year throughout the troposphere since 1970 per the chart below, and not CO2 GHG (Green House Gas). The resulting evaporation reduction is […]
