Yet another region of the world has failed to cooperate with then anthropogenic global warming narrative. Asad et al., 2024 “The longest 10 years’ warm periods were observed during the early decades of the twentieth century (AD 1918–1927…)…” “The five hottest years (based on 7.33 °C ± 0.99 °C) were AD 1896 (9.80 °C), 1892 […]

CO2-induced global warming was supposed to intensify the hydrological cycle and extreme precipitation. It hasn’t. New research (Mitchell and Knapp, 2024) at a southeastern United States study site indicates there has been no significant trend in either total precipitation or intense rainfall events (IRE) over the last 250 years (1770-2020). However, there was more IRE […]

“The real atmosphere does not follow the GHG [greenhouse gas] GE [greenhouse effect] hypothesis of the IPCC.” – Miskolczi, 2023 CO2 increased from 310 ppm to 385 ppm (24%) during the 60 years from 1948 to 2008. Observations indicate this led to a negative radiative imbalance of -0.75 W/m². In other words, increasing CO2 delivered […]

Higher likelihood of extreme snowfall in the French Alps in coming decades. And, greening Africa Hat-tip: Klimanachrichten Global warming is often cited as having a negative impact on snow and ice melt in cold regions, yet new research published in The Cryosphere has suggested that extreme snowfall events may be a feature of some locations at higher latitudes and […]

“…the rate of change in CO2 concentration is controlled, not by emissions, but by the global temperature” – Emrén, 2023 A new study published in the International Journal of Global Warming once again questions the popular narrative that says humans can control the temperatures of the ocean and melt the polar ice sheets by engaging […]

“Oddly, while the principal direction suggested by the models is ΔIn[CO₂] → ΔT, the explained variance is impressively low (10-15%) in this direction and impressively high (reaching 90%) in the opposite direction, at ΔT → ΔIn[CO₂].” − Koutsoyiannis et al., 2023 One of the most basic concepts in physics is that causes precede effects and effects […]

A new study identifies a major correlation flaw in paleoclimate research. The “missing” correlations are more common than correlations. In the past we have identified major contradictions in the widely-accepted contention that the entire Earth freezes its way into glacial climates that cyclically last roughly 100,000 years, interrupted by ~10,000-year interglacials. This 100,000-year glacial-interglacial cycle […]

In the last 25,000 years there has been an anti-correlation between rising CO2 and the Siberian Arctic temperature – the opposite of what is claimed by proponents of the anthropogenic global warming narrative. According to a new study, Arctic Siberia was 4°C warmer than it is today from 15,000 to 11,000 years ago, when CO2 […]

The governmental need to portray elevated CO2 as dangerous to humans was recently pitted against the governmental need to require face masks be worn on healthy people. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic requiring healthy people of all ages to wear face masks in public settings became a common governmental policy – especially in […]

The warming “predicted from climate models” has not materialized in yet another temperature record. In an “assessment of the performance of the climate projections” for all of Italy over the 1948-2021 period, we can observe no rising temperature trend (shown in green) that could align with the rise in CO2 emissions per a new study. […]

A 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 (Madonna […]

In a recent paper, scientists expressed their surprise that the Arctic had started warming already back in the early 20th century, 100 years ago. This, along with the obligatory CO2 climate warming lip service, is described in a Cambridge University press release. Hat-tip: Die kalte Sonne ================================== Arctic Ocean started getting warmer decades earlier than […]
