False and misleading “fact check” about Connolly, et al., 2021

By |2021-09-11T12:37:25+02:0011 September 2021|News, USA|Comments Off on False and misleading “fact check” about Connolly, et al., 2021

By Andy May Dr. Ronan Connolly and his co-authors respond to obvious false claims, in a supposed “fact check” about their latest paper on how solar variability may be affecting the climate. We applaud Dr. Ronan Connolly, Dr. Willie Soon, and Dr. Michael Connolly for rapidly and publicly calling out this fraudulent fact check. Misinformation [...]

Countdown to COP26 on the road to failure

By |2021-09-10T10:45:09+02:0010 September 2021|News, USA|Comments Off on Countdown to COP26 on the road to failure

By David Wojick  It is less than 60 days until COP26 convenes in Glasgow. We can expect a flood of climate horror stories (including flooding). But there will also be some discussion of the actual issues, so here is a brief breakdown of the big four. Keep in mind that the alarmists have a bit [...]

Nature promotes frivolous lawsuits

By |2021-09-06T11:16:42+02:004 September 2021|News, USA|Comments Off on Nature promotes frivolous lawsuits

By Andy May A Dutch joke*: “The Judge asks an attorney pleading his case: ‘Am I ever to hear the truth?’ The attorney responds: ‘No, my Lord, only the evidence.'” It is safe to say that no evidence exists that man-made climate change has harmed anyone. Further man-made climate or climate change [...]

Carbon Dioxide Has Reached a Point of Diminishing Returns

The Greenhouse Effect Explained by David Siegel, see original post here People like Al Gore think that the greenhouse effect is like a blanket, where the atmosphere, which in 1960 had 3 molecules per 10,000 of CO2 and now has 4 out of 10,000, smothers the earth, preventing heat from escaping. In their [...]

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum or PETM

By |2021-08-18T17:16:38+02:0018 August 2021|News, USA|Comments Off on The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum or PETM

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 [...]

Fact check : What the floods really have to do with “climate”

By |2021-07-27T16:18:35+02:0027 July 2021|Australia, Canada English, News, United Kingdom, USA|Comments Off on Fact check : What the floods really have to do with “climate”

By Sebastian Lüning In medieval times, the priest would have declared that it would have been a punishment from God for the wicked behavior of sinners. Today's explanation is unfortunately not far from that. In mid-July 2021, prolonged heavy rain caused severe flooding in western Germany. There were many dead and missing, [...]

Can we predict long-term solar variability?

By |2021-07-24T14:06:41+02:0024 July 2021|News, USA|Comments Off on Can we predict long-term solar variability?

By Andy May This post is a result of an online conversation with Dr. Leif Svalgaard, a research physicist at Stanford University. Leif knows a great deal about the Sun and solar variability and can explain it clearly. Our disagreement is over whether long-term solar variations could be large enough to affect Earth’s climate [...]

Sea Level Model Fail

By |2021-07-22T18:21:44+02:0022 July 2021|News, USA|Comments Off on Sea Level Model Fail

From a post by Arnout Jaspers at clintel.org. In 2016, a headline grabbing study said that the Antarctic ice sheet is much more unstable than [previously] estimated.  As a consequence, projected sea level rise in 2100 would double. Computer modelers from Deltares and KNMI scrambled back to their drawing boards to upgrade their prognoses [...]

Judith Curry: a 5 minute summary of the climate debate

By |2021-07-15T12:43:48+02:0015 July 2021|News, USA|Comments Off on Judith Curry: a 5 minute summary of the climate debate

How would you explain the complexity and uncertainty surrounding climate change plus how we should respond (particularly with regards to CO2 emissions) in five minutes? Last week I served on a panel for a summer school in Canada for engineering students. They are working on the energy transition, and their Professor wanted [...]

Flawed Heatwave Report Leads to False Headlines in Major Media

By |2021-07-14T17:59:27+02:0014 July 2021|News, USA|Comments Off on Flawed Heatwave Report Leads to False Headlines in Major Media

From The Cliff Mass Weather Blog Last week we witnessed a major failure in science communication regarding the Northwest heatwave. A failure that misinformed you and millions of others, and a failure that highlighted glaring weaknesses in the media’s ability to cover important scientific issues. And it revealed the disappointing behavior of some members [...]
