I really hate doing this, because I know that the poor scientist will probably be summoned to some office somewhere for an earful, or just suddenly disappear in some big ice crevice. We all know that in Germany terrible things happen to climate scientists (and journalists) and who don’t say the right things. Our friends […]

German “intellectual” online daily Die Zeit here interviews four (state-funded) alarmists (some more, some less) just to reassure its readers that the world is indeed coming to a catastrophic end. Here it’s interesting to compare the remarks of Hans von Storch and Stefan Rahmstorf on the subject of sea level rise of the North Sea, as […]

Here’s a feast for kings. 🙂 /// FOIA 2011 — Background and Context /// “Over 2.5 billion people live on less than $2 a day.””Every day nearly 16.000 children die from hunger and related causes.” “One dollar can save a life” — the opposite must also be true.

Awhile back Stefan Rahmstorf took a few readings off the coast of North Carolina and concluded sea levels were rising faster than at any time since Jesus had walked on water. Well, Der Spiegel noticed it 63 years ago in 1948 and wrote a piece called “America will become less”. Obviously Rahmstorf had only recycled an old story […]

UPDATE 1: Roger Pielke Jr: Here is another good example why I have come to view parts of the climate science research enterprise with a considerable degree of distrust.” =============================================== With the IPCC 5th report due to come out in the near future, the order books at hockey stick factories are full.

Halloween is already in full swing at the Potsdam Institute For Climate Impact Reseaarch in Germany. Witches, goblins, flesh-eating zombies and scary monsters are stirring about and spreading disturbing horror visions. Right now Stefan Rahmstorf is frozen by such a vision like a deer in the headlights. Rahmstorf, who has the unscientific habit of taking cyclic graphs and drawing […]

What follows is a good overview explaining why the measurement of Global Mean Sea Level (GMSL) is fraught with much uncertainty and so subject to substantial error. Michael Limburg of the European Institute for Climate and Energy tells us why.

Online German flagship national daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) has a piece on the hype surrounding hurricane Irene, which we recall was supposed to end up being the most super-charged hurricane to hit the Northeast US in a quarter century. It ended up being a hurricane of hype, and nothing else. But the FAZ writes if […]

It wasn’t long ago a PNAS study led by Stefan Rahmstorf had come out claiming sea level rise is “accelerating”. This of course was followed by the mainstream media jumping on the global warming bandwagon and trumpeting doom and gloom would strike sooner than we ever thought, maybe even before we die. Unfortunately, the acceleration […]

Here is a sampling of the media reaction coming from Germany on CERN’s cosmic ray cloud seeding experiment. Normally the German mainstream media is quick to report on new scientific developments, especially anything indicating catastrophic global warming. But this time they have been slow and cautious. FOCUS magazine online starts with: Climate skeptics doubt that man-made […]
