The polar vortex theory takes a beating: The claim a warm Arctic is behind the brutally cold winter conditions at the mid latitudes is shown by a Nature study to be scientifically baseless. Hat-tip: Die kalte Sonne. Now that Europe and North America are getting blasted by unusually severe winter weather, which climate alarmists predicted […]

A Warmer Past: Non-Hockey Stick Reconstructions Martin et al., 2020 France max Holocene temps (14°C) were 7°C warmer than the modern value (7°C) Modern climatic parameters were obtained from the instrumental database of Meteo-France at the nearby station of Mazet-Volamont (1130 m) located 11 km distant, for the period 2009-2017 … Temperature values were corrected […]

By Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt at Die kalte Sonne (Translated by P. Gosselin) June 7, 2020 Dear ladies and gentlemen First, the global mean temperature of satellite based measurements was surprisingly much higher in May 2020 than in April. In contrast, the global temperatures of the series of measurements on land and sea decreased. The difference […]

A German weekly “Die Zeit” commentary criticizes the hostility directed at skeptical climatologists and epidemiologists. “Where do we end up if a scientist’s degree of alarm becomes a litmus test for his scientific respectability?” Science activism represents “relapse into pre-enlightened thinking”. Dogmatists refusing to look through Galileo’s telescope. Image cropped here. The false prophets Over […]

2019 science: Absolutely no climate alarm No alarm on every aspect: stable polar ice, normal sea level rise, no consensus, growing snow cover, less tropical storms, tornadoes, shrinking deserts, global greening, predictions wrong, models flawed, climate driven by sun, ocean cycles, biodiversity, warmer 1000 years ago…etc… 2019 saw a great amount of new science emerge […]

Image Source: National Academy of Sciences, Understanding Climatic Change About 45 years ago, the “consensus” in climate science (as summarized by Williamson, 1975) was quite different than today’s version. 1. The Medieval Warm Period was about 1°C warmer than present overall while the “largely ice-free” Arctic was 4°C warmer, allowing the Vikings to navigate through […]
