The CERES team (Willie Soon, Ronan and Michael Connolly) was invited by the Heritage Foundation to contribute a Special Report on what is known about the causes of global warming since the 1850s.

Why the 2024 climate report is more about fear than facts.

Willie Soon, Ronan and his father Michael Connolly released a new interesting video about the snow cover debate. Clintel covers this debate in chapter 4 of our report The Frozen Climate Views of the IPCC. The three scientists published a paper in 2019 comparing snow cover in climate models with observations. In [...]
John Robson, a historian, makes excellent short videos about climate change. You can subscribe to his channel. Yesterday he posted a somewhat longer video focussing on the role of the sun.

Political debates over climate policy under the present zeitgeist of climate-change hysteria is like competing to see how many witches you can burn. This is how Professor William Happer described the situation after his recent lecture on the three greenhouse gases targeted by today's draconian national agricultural policies. Professor Happer gave this [...]
Ross McKitrick, the Canadian economics professor who publishes regularly in climate journals, gave an online talk for the Irish Climate Science Forum and the international CLINTEL Foundation (of which I am the cofounder).
