by Javier Vinós & Andy May “These shifts are associated with significant changes in global temperature trend and in ENSO variability. The latest such event is known as the great climate shift of the 1970s.” Anastasios A. Tsonis, Kyle Swanson & Sergey Kravtsov (2007) 4.1 Introduction While the study of weather variability has a [...]
Originally posted by Matt Briggs at his blog. I am one of the more than one thousand scientists and related professionals who signed the World Climate Declaration, an effort started by a friend of ours, Marcel Crok, and Guus Berkhout. Together, they run Clintel. From Climate Intelligence. You can visit them. Now you’d think a [...]
The NSW Premier handed down the 2022 Flood Inquiry report last week and at the same time many of the 1,498 written submissions were made public. The submissions make for harrowing reading, especially the first-hand accounts from the Lismore community.

There is much discussion as to why this bill looks like it will pass, when previous climate bills (carbon tax, carbon [...]
By Javier Vinós & Andy May Reposted from Climate Etc. “The atmospheric heat transport on Earth from the Equator to the poles is largely carried out by the mid-latitude storms. However, there is no satisfactory theory to describe this fundamental feature of the Earth’s climate.” Leon Barry, George C. Craig & John Thuburn (2002) [...]
By Javier Vinós & Andy May Reposted from Climate Etc. “The complicated pattern of sun-weather relationships undoubtedly needs much further clarification, but progress in this field will be hindered if the view prevails that such relationships should not be taken seriously simply because the mechanisms involved in explaining them are not yet identified.” Joe W. [...]
By Francis Menton Reposted from Manhattan Contrarian If my posting has been a little light for the last month or so, it’s because I’ve been working on a big Report for the Global Warming Policy Foundation on the subject of energy storage as a means to back up electricity generation from wind [...]
by Javier Vinós and Andy May Reposted from Climate Etc. “Probably no subfield of meteorology has had as much effort devoted to it as the effects of solar variability on weather and climate. And none has had as little to show for the research labor.” Helmut E. Landsberg (1982) 1.1 Introduction The sun [...]
UN Sec-Gen Guterres’ address to Petersburg Climate Dialogue illustrated the energy illiteracy of climate ideologues, says Friends of Science, saying he should step down for misleading the world. Likewise, climate ideologues, using skewed assessments of livestock and fertilizer emissions, are tinkering with food and farming systems that work well; global famine looms - this [...]
© Clintel Foundation / Wednesday July 27, 2022 Let's put the recent European heat wave in some perspective... On July 19th, the only extremely hot day of the summer so far in The Netherlands, the KNMI (Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute) was quick to claim that extreme temperatures in [...]
