A recent New York Times article explores claims that climate change may be worsening winter cold extremes. While some scientists argue that Arctic warming destabilizes the polar vortex, long-term data show a clear decline in extreme cold events, challenging that narrative.
In this analysis, Dr. Matthew Wielicki examines the EPA’s 2009 Endangerment Finding, contending that the ruling was effectively decided in advance and later justified through a structured scientific review, with far-reaching consequences for climate regulation.
Claims that climate science is “settled” are frequently used to justify far-reaching policy decisions. In this article, Vijay Jayaraj examines how model uncertainties, conflicting evidence and real-world observations challenge the idea of certainty in the climate debate.
America’s Irreversible Goodbye to Climate Governance The [...]
Periods of cold weather are often cited in debates about climate change—but what do they really tell us? In this article, Fernando del Pino Calvo Sotelo examines how rain, snow, and low temperatures are interpreted in the climate discussion, separating scientific evidence from popular narratives.
Is the Mediterranean really a climate hotspot? Drawing on long-term hydroclimatic observations, Demetris Koutsoyiannis and Theano Iliopoulou revisit the evidence and highlight the region’s striking climatic complexity.
Claims that today’s Arctic or global temperatures are unprecedented in the Holocene are still widely repeated in scientific literature. In this article, Andy May examines temperature proxy records and shows that both the magnitude and the rate of warming during the Holocene have been misrepresented.
In 2011, BBC viewers were told that polar bears in the Barents Sea were starving due to climate-driven sea ice loss. Later scientific evidence shows that this portrayal was inconsistent with data already available at the time.
Surface temperatures in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica have cooled for decades, defying the projections of leading climate models and puzzling researchers worldwide. In this article, physicist Ralph B. Alexander examines three recent studies that propose strikingly different explanations for this unexpected climate anomaly.
Large-scale lithium-ion battery storage is expanding rapidly, often with limited public discussion of safety and environmental risks. The article below examines a recent white paper by engineer Richard Ellenbogen that analyzes these risks, particularly when such facilities are sited in densely populated or environmentally sensitive areas.
