A new working paper titled Climate Skeptics In Germany And Their War Against The Energy Revolution by the Department of Political Science, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Vienna, written by Dr. Achim Brunnengräber of the University of Berlin Department of Political Science, has just been released.

Big, embarrassing news for German climate scientists. With 11 days remaining, Germany this year is set for its 5th colder-than-normal winter (DJF) in a row (a record), this according to high-profile German meteorologist Dominik Jung at www.wetter.net here (photo left). Jung is an often-quoted meteorology expert of the German media. I’m really quite (pleasantly) surprised because I […]

The PIK has issued a press release on another one of its patently alarmist, statistically selective and manipulative studies, BASED ON MODELS, claiming the end of the world is near. I’m sure this study will be shown to be preposterous in just a matter of days. No matter, the German media can hardly contain itself. […]

Right…and starvation leads to obesity. The alarmists at the German Potsdam Climate Institute now claim global warming leads to colder and snowier winters, which lead to accelerated ice melt in Antarctica. In their latest blog article, Dr. Sebastian Lüning and Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt say this is like claiming eating more makes you lose weight. =================================================== New […]

Dr. Hans H.J. Labohm has written an overview, soon to appear in Energy and Environment Journal titled: Climate Scepticism in Europe. Dr. Hans Labohm says climate science scepticism is “very much alive and kicking” in Europe. The opening sentences set the tone in no uncertain terms. He calls the notion of dangerous manmade global warming a […]

UPDATE 1: Heartland reply: Heartland.org/reply-to-critics UPDATE 2: Hat-tip Judy, Energytribune.com/desmog-debunked UPDATE 3: Heartland.org/reply-to-critics “The DesmogBlog web site was created by John Lefebvre, who pleaded guilty to federal money-laundering charges.” ========================================== Few US organizations are feared and hated in Germany like the Heartland Institute is today. It’s probably number 2 on the list behind Marc Morano/CFACT. […]

On Friday I wrote about how the print edition of Die Zeit had published a twisted drive-by slander piece on climate skeptics, targeting Marc Morano of Climate Depot, the Heartland Institute, EIKE and Fritz Vahrenholt (photo left). Unsurprisingly the report’s authors, Kerstin Kohlenberg and Anita Blasberg, have no formal science training; they are sociology majors. That explains […]

German online news weekly FOCUS here has a report on the impacts of climate change on European winters, particularly those in Germany. Dubious science: German scientists claim warming Arctic leads to a colder and warmer Northern hemisphere. Photo source: NASA, public domain. A few years back we all heard scientists saying that snow and cold […]

Although the silence that has spread over the mainstream media and “climate community” has been deafening, skeptic blogs on the other hand have been stepping in earnestly to inform the public on what the climate is really doing. The blogosphere has been ablaze over the last few days. In Germany the media has been dead silent […]
