Tokyo and its Pacific Hachijojima island have not seen warming in decades. By Kirye, and Pierre Many urban areas, experts argue, have seen their mean annual temperatures rise due to the growing urban sprawl of concrete, asphalt and steel, and not so much because of greenhouse gases. This affect is the so-called urban heat island […]

By Kirye and Pierre Gosselin As urban expansion continues worldwide, it wouldn’t surprise anyone that cities would see a growing number of hot days as asphalt, concrete, steel and automobiles act as heat sinks that absorb the summer sun’s energy, a phenomenon known as the urban heat island effect (UHI). Indeed this has been the […]

By Kirye in Tokyo Hachijojima is a rural-type island off the coast from the megapolis of Tokyo in the Pacific. What makes Hachijojima interesting is that it is ideal for comparing its trend to a heavily urban environment, like Tokyo’s. Hachijojima is located roughly 300 km, out to sea, from Tokyo and thus is hardly […]

Co-written by Kirye Tokyo is a huge, sprawling megapolis on the island nation of Japan. With its great urbanization over the past decades, observers could expect to see some warming at least from the urban heat island effect as well as from the “huge” warming the planet has allegedly seen globally over the past 30 […]

And here I don’t mean the frosty atmosphere created by fat boy, Big Kim in NoKo. Our skeptic in Japan, Kirye, informs us at Twitter that Tokyo saw its coldest August 11 in almost 60 years. She writes: Not only Japan, Western Europe and USA are seeing cold weather, but New Zealand as well has […]

A Warmer Past: Non-Hockey Stick Reconstructions Roy et al., 2023 Holocene air temperatures were reconstructed from δ18O measurements from the nearby Agassiz Ice Cap. The 25-yr mean annual air temperature record shows a rapid Early Holocene warming, with temperatures being 6–8°C warmer than today at 10,000 yr b2k followed by a gradual cooling to AD […]

Most climate models are worse than garbage, a number of real measurements, peer-reviewed studies and data show. Their phony results are mainly used to spread fear. Models put out hyper-exaggerated fiction. Image: PIK. The outputs of model simulations often get confused by the media and public as real measurement results. But often they are generated […]

By Kirye and Pierre The meteorological winter, defined as December 1 to February 28, has just ended and the data for mean winter temperature are available for the Pacific island nation of Japan. The question on everyone’s mind is: Are winters getting colder, or are they getting milder like the media like having us believe […]

By Kirye (photo, right) and Pierre Why has January, the dead of winter, been cooling at so many locations over the recent decades? End of warming? Looking at the data for mean January temperature for a number of places shows something we would not expect in a warming world: the mid winter month has been […]

A Warmer Past: Non-Hockey Stick Reconstructions Martin et al., 2020 France max Holocene temps (14°C) were 7°C warmer than the modern value (7°C) Modern climatic parameters were obtained from the instrumental database of Meteo-France at the nearby station of Mazet-Volamont (1130 m) located 11 km distant, for the period 2009-2017 … Temperature values were corrected […]

Hundreds of publications show how climate in many regions around the world varies in sync with solar activity. More evidence is provided by Japanese climate scientist Kyoji Kimoto. ======================================= Climate Change Governed By The Sun By guest author Kyoji Kimoto, kyoji@mirane.co.jp January 22, 2021 I’ve compiled a list of six examples how the sun impacts […]
