Amsterdam, November 1, 2022 Your Excellencies: By the year 2030, historians will wonder with amazement how it could happen that the UN in previous decades had proposed far-reaching climate-related measures that totally failed to arrest global warming, but instead would have the unintended consequence of an unprecedented negative impact on the world’s prosperity [...]

Meridional Transport, the most fundamental climate variable

By |2022-10-27T12:35:15+02:0027 October 2022|News, USA|Comments Off on Meridional Transport, the most fundamental climate variable

By Andy May “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.” (Barry, Craig, & Thuburn, 2002) This is the transcript of the talk I gave in [...]

by Nicola Scafetta reposted from Climate Etc. Two publications examining the equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) have recently been published in Climate Dynamics: Scafetta, N. (2022a). CMIP6 GCM ensemble members versus global surface temperatures. Lewis, N. (2022). Objectively combining climate sensitivity evidence. These two papers are significant because they take different but complimentary approaches and achieve the same [...]

How the Greenland ice sheet ‘really’ fared this year

By |2022-09-26T17:07:02+02:0026 September 2022|News, Uncategorized|Comments Off on How the Greenland ice sheet ‘really’ fared this year

The Greenland ice sheet’s melt season is over, bringing the 2021-2022 season to a close. Below I take a deep-dive into how the poster boy for global warming fared over the past 12-months. ‘SURFACE’ MASS BALANCE Greenland’s ice sheet gains snow and ice from September through to the following June, and then, as [...]

New peer reviewed paper: climate sensitivity a third lower

By |2022-09-21T18:27:12+02:0021 September 2022|IPCC, News, United Kingdom|Comments Off on New peer reviewed paper: climate sensitivity a third lower

Official IPCC estimates of future global warming may be overstated Press Release by GWPF A new paper reduces the estimate of climate sensitivity – the amount of warming expected for a doubling of carbon dioxide concentrations – by one third. The results therefore suggest that future global warming will be much [...]

A Much Larger Greenhouse Effect – But Temperatures Dominated by Cooling

By |2022-09-15T16:13:15+02:0013 September 2022|News, The Netherlands|Comments Off on A Much Larger Greenhouse Effect – But Temperatures Dominated by Cooling

Guest post by Wim Röst Foreword Especially for Policymakers The greenhouse effect appears to be much higher than previously assumed. However, that also means that the greenhouse effect does not determine the temperature. Earth's temperatures are way lower. The level of Earth's temperatures appears to be completely dependent on cooling by the [...]

The Greenhouse Effect, Revisited

By |2022-09-13T17:49:37+02:0013 September 2022|News, USA|Comments Off on The Greenhouse Effect, Revisited

"If it [a scientific hypothesis] disagrees with experiment, it’s WRONG." Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman As a further addendum to my series of posts in 2020 and 2021 on the CO2 global warming hypothesis, this post presents another challenge to the hypothesis central to the belief that humans make a substantial contribution to [...]
