In 2020, scientists continued to publish papers affirming global sea levels are today about 2 meters lower than they were a few thousand years ago. During the last interglacial (~116 to 128 thousand years ago), when CO2 peaked at just 280 ppm but surface temperatures were so much warmer that much less water was locked […]

Prior to the transition from the last ice age to the current interglacial climate, when CO2 levels still lingered below 250 ppm, the relative sea levels in southern Greenland were “at least ∼32 m above present.” Relative sea levels have undergone a series of major changes since the last glacial maximum, when global sea levels […]

By Kirye and Pierre Gosselin Hachijojima is a volcanic Japanese island some 287 kilometers south of Tokyo, to which it belongs. 7,522 people live on its 63 km2 of area. Image cropped from Google Maps. What makes Hachijojima interesting climatically is its rural, non-urban features – in the middle of the ocean – making station siting there […]

By Kirye and Pierre Gosselin COVID 19 deaths in Japan diverts attention from growing number of suicides It’s a long known but also a tragically long ignored problem in Japan: suicide. With all the focus on COVID-19 nowadays, other more pressing problems often fall off the radar and get ignored. One problem in Japan is […]

By Kirye and Pierre Gosselin A few days ago we looked at the Antarctic peninsula stations and saw that over the past 2 decades 13 of 13 of these stations showed cooling trends. Today we look at 12 stations located at the eastern side of Antarctica, where temperatures are colder: Below the stations’ data from […]

Though the media like to tell their audience that man-made climate change is leading to more extreme weather, the data don’t support it. In fact, one could easily argue that Japan’s climate is more agreeable today. By Kirye in Tokyo and Pierre Gosselin No trend in long-term annual precipitation Over the past 100 years, for […]

Our skeptic in Japan… Many readers have surely read articles by Japanese blogger/contributor Kirye here at NoTricksZone since about a year and a half. Japanese climate blogger Kirye thinks Japan will be the last developed country to ever question climate change. Kirye, who wishes to remain anonymous, lives in Tokyo and has answered some questions […]

By Kirye and Pierre Gosselin Recently Japanese scientist Dr. Kiyohiko Ikeda (@IkedaKiyohiko) retweeted about a newspaper book review appearing in the Sankei Shinbum, which reported on how Marc Morano’s best selling “The Politically Incorrect Guide To Climate Change” was hitting the book market in Japan. 今日の産経に、地球温暖化の不都合な真実がありました。いよいよ地球温暖化、CO₂削減とは何だったか、明らかにされています。国連の気候変動サミットも、色あせて、白々しく感じたものでした。風力発電のアホらしさは最初から分かっているのに、なぜ被害を拡大したのか。悪党よ pic.twitter.com/0yFnfS8KXL — 由良 守生 (@zan4736511) October 8, 2019 Mr. Morano’s […]

By Kirye in Tokyo Cooling August trends and stunningly early snows in Europe contradict global catastrophist warming claims. Recently we heard reports of the earliest snowfall in Greta Thunberg’s Sweden in 20 years, and “stunning” snowfall in Norway. So it’s been strange to hear during these hysterical days of Fridays for Future (FFF) how snowfall […]

By Kirye and Pierre Gosselin It’s been long known that NASA GISS has been going through its historical temperature data archives and erasing old temperature measurements and replacing them with new, made up figures without any real legitimate reason. This practice has led to the formation of new datasets called “adjusted” data, with the old […]

By Kirye (Tokyo) Canada’s CBC here recently cited “a leaked report” which claimed Canada is “warming at twice the global rate.” According to the “leaked report”, Canada’s annual average temperature over land has warmed 1.7 C when looking at the data since 1948. But that claim is misleading when recent data is considered. Over the […]
