The Mystery Of 536 AD: The Worst Climate Disaster In History

Researching a climatic catastrophe that rocked the Earth in A.D. 535, causing two years of darkness, famine, drought and disease. Written records from China, Italy, Israel and many other countries suggest a huge catastrophe blighted the world in 535AD. But the cause of it has been uncertain. Was it a comet? An asteroid? A volcano? Archaeologist David Keys reveals the latter is to blame for the Dark Ages of famine and plague that shaped the world order of today.

$Trillions For Nothing…Damning Report: Green Energies Grow Only “Paltry Two Percent In Entire Decade”!

No Tricks Zone  | June 18, 2022 Global transition to green energies stagnates By Kalte Sonne (Translated/edited by P. Gosselin) This is reported by various media. Put simply, global energy demand is rising faster than the expansion of renewable energies, or at least so fast that the increases are only marginally reflected in the overall balance. There is, for example, the German taz (emphasis added): A paltry two percentage points increase in an entire decade: In 2020, only 12.6 percent of global energy demand was met by renewable energies. In 2009, the figure was 10.6 percent. This is the conclusion …

Researchers: Wood Burning Unsustainable, Huge Footprint…”Will Accelerate Warming For Decades”

Researchers: Wood Burning Unsustainable, Huge Footprint…”Will Accelerate Warming For Decades”

No Tricks Zone by P. Gosselin | June 17, 2022 “Worse than fossil fuels”…wood burning “must stop…” Source: Klimaschau 115 Governments and activists like claiming that burning wood and wood pellets from trees in power plants is an effective way to reduce global CO2 emissions. Yet researchers now say it is in fact having the opposite effect. Hat-tip: Klimaschau 115 A team led by Laura Bloomer concluded here in a report that “burning trees and other forest biomass for energy is contrary to climate mitigation, biodiversity protection, and environmental justice goals” and that “governments must stop promoting climate-damaging forest bioenergy.” …

BBC’s Institutional Alarmism

BBC’s Institutional Alarmism

Not a Lot of People Know That By Paul Homewood | June 13, 2022 I’ve now had a chance to write a fuller account of my new paper on the BBC: The BBC has been accused of institutional alarmism in a new report published by Net Zero Watch. It reveals the BBC’s persistent exaggeration and false information when it comes to climate and weather-related news. The study, written by me, reveals that the BBC has been forced to correct a dozen items of false claims and fake news in climate-related coverage after receiving public complaints in recent years. The paper …

A conservative calculation of specific impulse for CO2

A conservative calculation of specific impulse for CO2

Bud Bromley | June 11, 2022 Richard Feynman frequently reminded us, “If it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is. It does not make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is – if it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. That is all there is to it.” (Feynman, 1965) In the 2 years following the June 15, 1991 eruption of the Pinatubo volcano, the natural environment removed more CO2 than the entire increase …

Greenland’s Summers Surprisingly Cooling Over Past Decade…Driven By Natural Oceanic Cycles

Greenland’s Summers Surprisingly Cooling Over Past Decade…Driven By Natural Oceanic Cycles

No Tricks Zone By P. Gosselin | June 12, 2022 Science Daily here reports: “Climate changes in the tropical Pacific have temporarily put the brakes on rapid warming and ice melting in Greenland.“ Hat-tip: Klimaschau Science Daily adds: “A puzzling, decade-long slowdown in summer warming across Greenland has been explained by researchers at Hokkaido University in Japan. Their observational analysis and computer simulations revealed that changes in sea surface temperature in the tropical Pacific Ocean, thousands of miles to the south, trigger cooler summer temperatures across Greenland. The results, published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, will help improve …

Energy Crisis Is A Taste Of What The IEA Has In Store For Us

Energy Crisis Is A Taste Of What The IEA Has In Store For Us

Not a Lot of People Know That By Paul Homewood | June 11, 2022 Biden may call it the “Putin price hike”, but the root cause of our energy crisis has been festering for a few years now. Tilak Doshi details how the oil and gas sector in the West has been starved of investment in this Forbes article. Governmental climate policies, pressure on banks from governments, central banks and regulators not to lend to fossil fuel companies, the activities of eco-activist investors, woke hedge funds and judicial decisions have all contributed to a gradual decline in new investment. Instead …

Prof. Feynman on Scientific Theories

It doesn’t matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are. If it doesn’t agree with experiment, it’s wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science.
