A new paper has been published by Twila Moon et al titled: 21st-Century Evolution of Greenland Outlet Glacier Velocities appearing in the journal Science. Lead author Twila Moon finds that claims of rapid Greenland glacier acceleration are massively overstated. The study contradicts all the bedwetting projections made by the crackpots at NASA or the PIK in Potsdam. The […]

German flagship news magazine Der Spiegel reports here on new satellite measurements of Himalayan glaciers. Not long ago IPCC scientists, among them Prof. Hans-Joachim Schellnhuber and train engineer Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, claimed with grave tones that the Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2030. Hat-tip: a NTZ reader. That, among other errors, fantasies and exaggerations, turned out […]

Not long ago, the IPCC got one on the knuckles for grossly exaggerating Himalayan glacial ice melt, preposterously claiming the glaciers there would be gone by 2035. Now it comes to light that the IPCC has also grossly exaggerated the importance of glaciers as a source of fresh water supply for populations. This is what […]

Ed Caryl has become a regular contributor here, and today he presents insights on the causes of glacial melt. Here he discusses how absorption of solar energy by soot and Black Carbon contribute significantly to glacial melting and that CO2 is a minor factor. Glaciers – The Dark Side. It’s Not the CO2 Carbon […]

A new study reports Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) glacier melt has added a grand total of just 0.74 cm to sea levels from 1992-2020. The authors apparently consider this amount − +0.26 mm/yr of meltwater equivalent − highly alarming. The study assesses 203 glaciers in the AIS Western Peninsula and documents a statistically significant rising […]

Greenland is halfway through its current (2025-2026) melt season. So far it’s not looking good for the alarmist narrative. Image Source: Polar Portal For perspective, there is more ice and snow on Greenland today than for nearly any other period in the last 10,000 years. Image Source: Larocca and Axford, 2022

Higher sea levels were due to a warmer climate, or the consequence of more water in ocean basins rather than locked up on land as ice. In a new study, scientists assess they can now clearly separate “tectonic and climate signals in Holocene sea-level records” by precisely identifying patterns of long-term vertical land motion near […]

Growing climate skepticism in Europe… An inconvenient tree found in the Alps shows climate was warmer 6000 years ago. A recent video from the German language channel Report24news features Dr. Johannes Steiner, who discusses the discovery of ancient biological material (a large tree log) under retreating glaciers and its implications for the current climate narrative.

Greenland’s ice mass losses have dramatically decelerated since 2012. According to a new study (Nilsson and Gardner, 2026), from 1992-2023 the ice loss from Greenland ice sheet (GIS) and peripheral glaciers has added a total of only 1.1 cm (11 mm) to global sea levels. This is a sea level contribution rate equivalent of just […]

The mechanisms driving the meters-higher sea levels a few thousand years ago do not support claims that CO2 is a driver. A comprehensive analysis (Zhang et al., 2025) of the South China Sea region indicates warmer sea water was fundamentally responsible for sea levels that were, on average, 2-3 meters higher (and in some regions […]

Throughout the last 10,000 years there have globally been much warmer and more extensive iceless periods than observed in the modern era. “There is reliable geological evidence that the temperature of most warming phases in the Holocene were globally higher or similar to that of the current warming period, Arctic sea ice was less extensive, […]
