Germany’s greens are hopelessly arrogant, believe they’ve been bestowed with superior intelligence, and are thus convinced they have been naturally selected to boss the rest of the world around. Well, these really aren’t attributes of greenies, but of other colored people who have discovered the effectiveness of putting on a green act. Climate activists fret […]

Perhaps some leading opinion-shapers in Germany have become aghast at the hysterical and hyper-irrational reaction coming from “climate scientists” in the wake of typhoon Yolanda, a single, destructive storm supposedly brewed by the misdeeds of darker forces, e.g. the 90 top carbon emitters of the world. Despite the progress science and technology we’ve seen since the […]

UPDATE: GISS data confirm Jung’s results. Note: the temperature data was evaluated by meteorologist Jung, and not the Austrian weather service, as was mistakenly reported. The result, however, remains unchanged. ============================== Perhaps you’ve been wondering why the alarmists have been so shrill lately?

David Robert Grimes of the Irish Times latest piece pretty much tells us all we all need to know about the state of mind of climate alarmists nowadays: it’s one of mounting frustration that’s on the verge of exploding anger. Are calls for anger what one typically sees from the winning side of a debate? […]

Last Thursday evening and yesterday winter made its debut in Southern Germany and Austria – and how! Read more here.

It’s good to see that there are a few journalists who actually take journalism seriously and question what they are being told. One publication that has been doing a good job on this is Switzerland-based Weltwoche, which has written two pieces about the latest IPCC report. See here and here. Photo: Alex Reichmuth, Weltwoche.

Can We Expect Extreme Weather? By Ed Caryl The latest rallying cry from the catastrophic AGW crowd is that we can expect more heat waves, roaming heat waves, popping up unexpectedly and unpredictably. We hear this from Kevin Trenberth here (and refuted by Willis Eschenbach here), and from the PIK here. What about this? Is […]

The public by now has heard every climate scare story at least five times over the last three decades. They’ve stop listening years ago. Yet, the last remaining, diehard alarmists are reaching ever deeper into their bag of tricks in an attempt to reawaken the good old days of climate alarmism. We certainly can tell we […]

PIK scientist Stefan Rahmstorf at Twitter directs our attention to an interview he gave on German Public Radio. The interview is about new models that predict the frequency of heat waves globally will double in the next seven years alone, i.e. by 2020, and quadruple again by 2040.

And DEATH by heat by 2100 if we don’t stop burning carbon now. The ultra-alarmist Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) forecasts that the number of heat-wave days will double in just seven years, so reports CO2 Handel website here.

Depleted of scare stories, the global warming scare industry is desperate and has resorted to the latest scare tactic, claiming that warming leads to violent conflict. The online Spiegel reports here on a study appearing in the journal Science by Solomon Hsiang et al claiming that global warming causes shortages in resources and thus increases […]
