Future Global Warming Scenarios ‘Potentially Beneficial’, Cooling May Cause Ecological ‘Declines’ Fan et al., 2017 “Our data suggest that future global warming scenarios would potentially be beneficial for the hydrological and ecological conditions of the EASM [East Asian Summer Monsoon] margin, while small decreases in the precipitation and temperature superimposed on the long-term deteriorated climate may […]

Textbook Details Robust Planetary Theory Explaining Climate Change Without CO2 Wiley Textbook Image Source The increasingly corroborated atmospheric mass pressure (gravity) explanation for variances in planetary temperatures – which precludes a significant role for CO2 concentration changes – has now advanced from peer-reviewed scientific journals to university-level textbooks. The “adiabatic theory” of the greenhouse effect (adiabatic: […]

Anthropogenic Emissions ≠ CO2 Concentration Changes For the last 3 years, human CO2 emissions rates have not risen. In fact, according to the IEA, we burned slightly more fossil fuels in 2014 than we did in both 2015 and 2016. Despite the lack of growth – even slight decline – in human emissions rates during 2014 – […]

Scientists Increasingly Discarding ‘Hockey Stick’ Temperature Graphs Now Updated: 300 Non-Hockey Stick Graphs “[W]hen it comes to disentangling natural variability from anthropogenically affected variability the vast majority of the instrumental record may be biased.” — Büntgen et al., 2017 Last year there were at least 60 peer-reviewed papers published in scientific journals demonstrating that Today’s Warming Isn’t […]

Natural Forcing Of Arctic Climate Increasingly Affirmed By Scientists Gajewski, 2015 Three years ago a cogent paper was published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature that was surprisingly candid in its rejection of the position that the substantial warming and sea ice reduction in the Arctic occurring since the late 1970s should be predominantly attributed […]

Natural Variability Dominates Climate Last week, the newly published Gagné et al. (2017) paper received some attention because the authors pointed out that Arctic sea ice grew substantially between 1950 and 1975, consistent with the in-phase cooling trend during that period. Gagné et al., 2017 “Updated observational datasets without climatological infilling show that there was […]

I. Failing/Failed Renewable Energy, Climate Policies (10) Jones and Warner, 2016 Here we quantify the changes in the global energy mix necessary to address population and climate change under two energy-use scenarios, finding that renewable energy production (9% in 2014) must comprise 87–94% of global energy consumption by 2100. Our study suggests >50% […]
I. Lack Of Anthropogenic/CO2 Signal In Sea Level Rise (34) Donchyts et al., 2016 Earth’s surface water change over the past 30 years [1985-2015] … Earth’s surface gained 115,000 km2 of water and 173,000 km2 of land over the past 30 years, including 20,135 km2 of water and 33,700 km2 of land in coastal areas. [A net decline […]
I. Solar Influence On Climate (133) 1. Moreno et al., 2016 The major external forcing of the climate system derives from the Sun. A solar signature has been found in global mean surface temperatures, with evidence directly related to two noticeably different features of the Sun’s dynamics: its short-term irradiance fluctuations and secular […]
