Covering Climate Now

Covering Climate Now

Not A Lot of People Know That Oct. 17, 2024 By Paul Homewood I have been tracking Covering Climate Now for some time now. They were set up to influence journalism worldwide, in order to push the alarmist agenda by, basically, telling lies: Covering Climate Now supports, convenes, and trains journalists and newsrooms to produce rigorous climate coverage that engages audiences. Co-founded in 2019 by Columbia Journalism Review and The Nation magazine in association with the Guardian and WNYC, CCNow invites journalists everywhere to transform how our profession covers the defining story of our time. Unless news outlets around the …

The State of Earth’s Climate 2024 – No Evidence of a Planetary ‘Crisis’! – Professor Ole Humlum

Held by Zoom on Wednesday, June 19, 2024 Prof. Ole Humlum used meteorological and climatological data to objectively assess the state of earth’s climate. Global air temperatures in 2023/24 are reported to be the “highest on record” – how significant is that? Global temperature records do confirm that observed average global air temperature rise is about +0.15°C per decade – is that serious? Since 2004, the global oceans above 1900 m depth on average have warmed about 0.037°C – are the oceans “boiling”? Are recent variations between El Niño and La Niña episodes in any way unusual? To what extent …

Nature – Not Man – Controls CO2

The Physics & Chemistry of Carbon Dioxide Formation, Absorption, Gasification and Transport in the Earth’s Atmosphere & Hydrosphere

Tom Tamarkin and Bud Bromley June 20, 2024 A common misconception propagated by the media and alternative energy companies today is that man contributes to the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. This is simply not true. Atmospheric CO2 concentration is controlled by fundamental laws of physics and chemistry. Man could increase his current release of carbon dioxide from the burning of natural gas and fossil fuels by a factor of ten and the net total amount of CO2 in the atmosphere would be roughly the same as it is today. Conversely, if man eliminated his CO2 releases, the atmospheric …

Absorbed solar radiation anomaly challenges the IPCC science

Absorbed solar radiation anomaly challenges the IPCC science

Dr. Antero Ollila June 1, 2024 The warming spike in 2023 has caused extraordinary reactions among climate scientists but also comment that nothing unusual is going on and everything fits into the “natural variability” calculated by climate models. Mika Rantanen and Ari Laaksonen, researchers at the Finnish Meteorological Institute, proved in their study (Reference 1) that September 2023 was the warmest with a difference of 0.5°C and that its occurrence is statistically very unlikely (in normal language impossible) to be caused by greenhouse gases. NASA administrator Gavin Schmidt acknowledged in his World View article in the journal Nature 19 March 2024 …

The cloud thermostat is the dominant climate controlling mechanism

The cloud thermostat is the dominant climate controlling mechanism

Lecture by Dr. John F. Clauser in May, 2024. Download notes as PDF ICSF invited Dr Ole Humlum to a Zoom lecture Held on Wednesday, May 8, 2024 Jim O’Brien was host. Dr Clauser demonstrates, based on his recent groundbreaking research, that there are serious faults in the IPCC models of the Earth’s atmosphere and that its interpretation of observational data from a variety of observational modalities are flawed. He then introduces his original research on the cloud-thermostat mechanism, which he concludes is the overwhelmingly dominant climate controlling feedback mechanism that stabilizes the Earth’s climate and temperature and thereby actually …

CO2 diffusion in polar ice: observations from naturally formed CO2 spikes in the Siple Dome (Antarctica) ice core

Jinho AHN, Melissa HEADLY, Martin WAHLEN, Edward J. BROOK, Paul A. MAYEWSKI, Kendrick C. TAYLOR ABSTRACT. One common assumption in interpreting ice-core CO2 records is that diffusion in the ice does not affect the concentration profile. However, this assumption remains untested because the extremely small CO2 diffusion coefficient in ice has not been accurately determined in the laboratory. In this study we take advantage of high levels of CO2 associated with refrozen layers in an ice core from Siple Dome, Antarctica, to study CO2 diffusion rates. We use noble gases (Xe /Ar and Kr /Ar), electrical conductivity and Ca2+ ion …

Valentina Zharkova: “in next 30 yrs, global warming prob. will be last thing in our mind”

Graduated with first class with distinction degree in Applied Math from Kiev National University, Kiev, Ukraine (1975); did PhD in Astrophysics ‘Radiative transfer of solar prominences’ at Main Astronomical Observatory, Kiev, Ukraine, viva in 1984. Worked as Researcher/Lecturer/ Senior Lecturer at KNU (1975-1994). In 1992 moved to Glasgow University, UK as Senior Research Fellow to investigate energetic particles in solar flares. Discovered sunquakes induced by flaring processes, published a paper in Nature, 1998 with wide media coverage. In 2000 moved to Bradford University as Lecturer, then Reader (2002) and Professor of Applied Mathematics (2005). Joined Northumbria University in September 2013 …
