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 [...]
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 Javier Vinós & Andy May reposted from Climate Etc. “On the other hand, I think I can safely say that nobody understands climate change.” J. Vinós, paraphrasing Richard Feynman’s words about quantum mechanics. 7.1 Introduction This plain-language summary has been written at the request of some readers of our series of [...]
by Nic Lewis reposted from Climate Etc. Official estimates of future global warming may be overstated. A brief summary in press release style of my new paper (written in the third person) One of the most important conclusions of the recent 6th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC AR6) was [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
"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 [...]
by Judith Curry - Reposted from Climate Etc. In which wicked scientists are the good guys. Activism by climate scientists has been the topic of numerous prior blog posts at Climate Etc. Such activism is generally focused on eliminating fossil fuels. This post presents a new framing for the activism issue. While [...]
