In a series of articles physicist Ralph B. Alexander examines whether weather extremes are becoming more frequent or intense. Following his previous article on hurricanes, this installment focuses on tornadoes.
Reports that climate change is the biggest threat to tourism are nonsense, says Linnea Lueken.
Roger Pielke Jr. will give two lectures on Sunday 11 October 2026 at Antropia in Driebergen, the Netherlands, at the invitation of the Clintel Foundation. The American researcher will discuss climate change and extreme weather, climate-related damage, climate scenarios and the politicisation of climate science. The afternoon is open to supporters, critics and anyone interested in understanding his research.
Can we now declare that the hypothesis that increased global temperatures cause increased hurricane frequency and intensity has been definitively falsified? And if not, when can we declare it, Francis Menton wonders.
In a series of articles on extreme weather attribution, physicist Ralph B. Alexander examines whether observational evidence supports claims that weather extremes are becoming more frequent or intense. Following his previous article on floods, this installment focuses on hurricanes and typhoons.
Gerrit Hiemstra, a well-known retired Dutch TV weatherman, was given the opportunity to ramble on for several minutes about the hot and dry summer in Europe during a highly-rated talk show on public service television. Naturally, according to him, the summer was the result of climate change, and Hiemstra also had a solution: stop filling up your car and eating meatballs. In the article below, Marcel Crok picks apart the claims made by Hiemstra.
Already the Climate Porn industry is using the ghastly death and destruction in Nepal to sell Net Zero and Socialism, even though landslides have always happened, and there was a far worse one in 1190 AD, says Jo Nova.
Human-caused global warming is a modest problem. It is not an existential threat to humanity, says popular American meteorologist Cliff Mass.
In a series of articles on extreme weather attribution, physicist Ralph B. Alexander examines whether observational evidence supports claims that weather extremes are becoming more frequent or intense. Following his previous article on droughts, this installment focuses on floods.
Climate scientist and public-policy scholar Roger Pielke Jr. argues that the climate debate has become increasingly detached from the underlying evidence. In a wide-ranging interview on the Love Journalism show, Pielke discussed extreme weather, climate scenarios, decarbonisation, energy policy, political polarisation, journalism and his transition from academia to becoming one of Substack’s most widely read climate writers.
