Figure: AR6 hockey stick "Climate change is accelerating". With these words, the 8 o'clock national news started last week. The reason: the new, sixth IPCC report. Various media published similar statements. Leftwing newspaper De Volkskrant: "UN panel IPCC: climate change is accelerating, man is 'unmistakably' the cause". Only De Telegraaf dared to let some [...]
by Ross McKitrick – repost from Climate Etc. One day after the IPCC released the AR6 I published a paper in Climate Dynamics showing that their “Optimal Fingerprinting” methodology on which they have long relied for attributing climate change to greenhouse gases is seriously flawed and its results are unreliable and largely meaningless. Some of the errors would [...]
The PETM or Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum was a warm period that began between 56.3 and 55.9 Ma (million years ago). The IPCC AR6 report (actually a draft, not a final edited report), released to the public on August 9, 2021, suggests that this warm period is similar to what is happening today and they [...]
by Ross McKitrick - repost from Climate Etc. Two new peer-reviewed papers from independent teams confirm that climate models overstate atmospheric warming and the problem has gotten worse over time, not better. The papers are Mitchell et al. (2020) “The vertical profile of recent tropical temperature trends: Persistent model biases in the context of internal [...]
By Steve McIntyre - repost of Climate Audit About 20% of the PAGES 2019 proxies are 50 Asian tree ring chronologies, all of which were originally published as chronologies in PAGES (2013). At the time, none of these series (and certainly not in these digital versions, had ever been published in technical literature, [...]
By Steve McIntyre Original post here Although climate scientists keep telling that defects in their “hockey stick” proxy reconstructions don’t matter – that it doesn’t matter whether they use data upside down, that it doesn’t matter if they cherry pick individual series depending on whether they go up in the 20th century, that it [...]

Guus Berkhout As enormes inundações na Europa mostram que o escoamento de água na União Europeia (EU) é insuficiente para proteger os cidadãos. Mesmo no sul do meu país (Holanda), com um excelente histórico de gestão da água, os danos são enormes. Como isso pôde acontecer? Cidadãos culpados A situação ao longo [...]
By Madhav Khandekar* Toronto, Canada The recent extreme heat episode (June 29- July 5, 2021) over the NW region of Canada-USA led to highest recorded temperature of 49.7C in Lytton (British Columbia) in Canada. This unusual weather event was caused by a development of a ‘heat dome’ resulting from a persistent high-pressure [...]
Guus Berkhout Ogromne poplave u Europi su pokazale da sustav odvodnje u EU nije uspio zaštititi stanovništvo. Čak i na jugu moje zemlje (Nizozemske), koja ima odlične rezultate vodnog upravljanja su nastale ogromne štete. Kako se to moglo dogoditi? Građani okrivljeni Situacija uz morsku obalu i velike rijeke u mojoj zemlji je [...]
