Climate Change over the past 4000 Years

By |2024-12-04T15:30:35+01:004 December 2024|News, USA|Comments Off on Climate Change over the past 4000 Years

I last wrote about Climate Change and Civilization for the past 4,000 Years in 2016. Since then, a lot has changed, and I’ve learned a lot more about the subject. First, we learned that various air and sea temperature proxies, such as ice core δ18O or tree rings, are all different. For a discussion of some temperature [...]

Natural Climate Change Factors

By |2024-12-10T11:31:45+01:003 December 2024|News, USA|Comments Off on Natural Climate Change Factors

“Consensus” scientists do not believe that solar variability, internal climate variability (in this model simplified to the ~67-year stadium wave), or volcanism influence net global warming or climate change since 1750, yet considerable evidence exists that these factors have an impact. I’ve previously built a model of the HadCRUT5 global average temperature (see here) from seven [...]

Floods in Valencia, Spain How Politicians and Media Exploit Natural Disasters for a Climate Agenda Let’s get one thing straight: The recent floods in Valencia, Spain, have nothing to do with climate change and everything to do with ignored infrastructure needs and poor urban planning.

Why the 2024 climate report is more about fear than facts. The recent article published in BioScience, "The 2024 state of the climate report: Perilous times on planet Earth," is a parade of exaggerated claims and half-truths, a propaganda piece designed to scare the public into adopting misguided policies while turning a [...]

Professor Richard Lindzen recently spoke in Brussels, at the invitation of the Hungarian political think tank MCC, about the role of consensus in political movements claiming a scientific basis (as is the case nowadays with climate). Below is the full text of his speech. “Hopefully, we will awaken from this nightmare before it [...]

Facebook Censorship of “Climate: The Movie” due to a Science Feedback “Fact Check”

By |2024-04-15T13:16:33+02:0015 April 2024|News, USA|Comments Off on Facebook Censorship of “Climate: The Movie” due to a Science Feedback “Fact Check”

By Andy May Facebook’s censorship is totally out of hand, and their “independent and nonpartisan fact checks” are anything but. Now they are censoring “Climate: The Movie.” The supposed “fact checks” provided by Science Feedback and Climate Feedback (they are two branches of the same organization) have been shown many times to [...]
