Dr. Willie Soon is firing up his coal fired time machine and travelling back to the age of the dinosaurs. Brilliant and very entertaining 5 minute video by Soon and the team of Gorilla Science (Martin Durkin and Tom Nelson, who also produced Climate: The Movie last year). Just watch it [...]
Prof. Kees de Lange met William Happer during his visit in The Netherlands last November. After that they exchanged several emails about the paper Happer en his colleague William van Wijngaarden wrote. De Lange kindly translated his knowledge of the paper into a blog article that is non-technical. This is an excellent paper [...]
by Christian Gerondeau, with the support of the Association des Climato-Réalistes (France). 1. There's no prosperity, and no way out of poverty, without energy. Inhabitants of developed countries emit 10 tonnes of CO2 each per year, those in developing countries emit 3,7 tonnes, and those in the poorest countries 0,3 tonne. 2. The lack of access [...]
The eminent American physicist William Happer was invited by CLINTEL to visit The Netherlands after he spoke at the excellent EIKE conference in Germany in November. He gave a very interesting one hour talk in Amsterdam. The following day he was interviewed by Marcel Crok of CLINTEL for an online platform called [...]
World leaders, do you realize how disruptive your energy policies are? Do you also realize how disruptive your lockdowns are? In his Christmas message to World Leaders, Guus Berkhout has three wake-up calls: 1. CO2 budgets and total lockdowns are based on fear; they limit human rights, feed extremism and push mankind [...]
By Andy May In my last post I plotted the NASA CO2 and the HadCRUT5 records from 1850 to 2020 and compared them. This was in response to a plot posted on twitter by Robert Rohde implying they correlated well. The two records appear to correlate because the resulting R2 is 0.87. The least square’s function used made the global [...]
By Andy May This post was updated 9/24/2021 to reflect reader comments. The phrase “greenhouse effect,” often abbreviated as “GHE,” is very ambiguous. It applies to Earth’s surface temperature, and has never been observed or measured, only modeled. To make matters worse, it has numerous possible components, and the relative contributions of the possible [...]
By Samuel Furfari Professor Richard Lindzen of MIT University, one of the world’s leading experts on atmospheric physics, had these extraordinary words: ‘Carbon control is a bureaucratic dream. If you control carbon, you control life’. The European Commission (EC), in its desire to control CO2 emissions, is going to – although it is not intended [...]
In Part 1, we introduced the concepts of climate sensitivity to CO2, often called ECS or TCR. The IPCC prefers a TCR of about 1.8°C/2xCO2 (IPCC, 2013, p. 818). TCR is the short-term, century scale, response of surface temperature to a doubling of CO2, we abbreviate the units as “°C/2xCO2.” In these posts we review lower [...]
The IPCC claims, in their AR5 report, that ECS, the long-term temperature change due to doubling the atmospheric CO2 concentration or the “Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity,” likely lies between 1.5° and 4.5°C, and they provide no best estimate (IPCC, 2013, p. 85). But their average model computed ECS is 3.2°C/2xCO2. Here, “°C/2xCO2” is the temperature change [...]
