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

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 …

Thirty Years of Unique Data Reveal What’s Really Killing Coral Reefs

Brian Lapointe, Ph.D., senior author and a research professor at FAU’s Harbor Branch, swims above bleached coral reefs in Looe Key in the lower Florida Keys. (Photo credit: Marie Tarnowski) Florida Atlantic University By gisele galoustian | 7/15/2019 Coral reefs are considered one of the most threatened ecosystems on the planet and are dying at alarming rates around the world. Scientists attribute coral bleaching and ultimately massive coral death to a number of environmental stressors, in particular, warming water temperatures due to climate change. A study published in the international journal Marine Biology , reveals what’s really killing coral reefs. …

Rebuttal and corrections to Dr. Roy Spencer’s analysis and comments regarding the Pinatubo Study

Bud Bromley & Tomer Tamarkin April 16, 2023 Dr. Roy Spencer is mistaken on all of the points in his review and posts concerning the ClimateCite-Bromley-Tamarkin-Menahem Pinatubo Study report and associated collateral materials. Our main Pinatubo study is not about the CO2 emissions from Pinatubo, as Tom Tamarkin has correctly instructed Roy numerous times over the course of the last year. . There was no reason or interest to attempt to quantify the CO2 emitted from Pinatubo. Others have estimated and reported that CO2 release. But more importantly, the perturbation to CO2 trend following the eruption which we studied was …

CCP Proves ‘Climate’ Fight Not Really About Climate

The Epoch Times By Alex Newman | January 10, 2023 Commentary You don’t have to be a climate scientist to know the ringleaders of the “climate change” bandwagon don’t truly believe the narrative they’re selling. And it’s not just because they jet around the world in private jets to lecture you about your car and your hamburgers. In fact, if the people at the top bought into the notion that human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are really “pollution” producing a “climate crisis,” they would be doing exactly the opposite of what they’re actually doing. Examining climate policy and communist …

Municipalities of Puerto Rico v. Exxon Mobil, et al. Part 2: RICO-teering

Russell Cook | Jan. 4, 2023 Bad enough that this lawsuit filing from the Milberg Coleman Bryson Phillips Grossman LLC law firm has a no-win appearance of being either a mismanaged effort guided by the Sher Edling law firm without any disclosure of that partnership, or it appears to be a spectacularly inept and possibly unethical plagiarizing of the accusation content and other bits from the 16 boilerplate copy Sher Edling lawsuits. I detailed all of that in my Part 1 blog post (handily reproduced at WUWT, enabling me to reach a wider reading audience). Exponentially worse for Milberg Coleman is the widespread news …

The New Pause lengthens: 100 Months with No Warming At All

By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley | Jan. 3, 2023 The cold weather on both sides of the Atlantic last month seems to have had its effect on temperature, which fell sharply compared with November, lengthening the New Pause to 8 years 4 months, as measured by the satellites designed, built and operated by Dr Roy Spencer and Dr John Christy at the University of Alabama in Huntsville: The graph shows the least-squares linear-regression trend on the monthly global mean lower-troposphere anomalies. The least-squares method was recommended by Professor Jones of the University of East Anglia as a reasonable method of …

The rise and fall of peer review

Experimental History Adam Mastroianni | Dec 13, 2022 Why the greatest scientific experiment in history failed, and why that’s a great thing For the last 60 years or so, science has been running an experiment on itself. The experimental design wasn’t great; there was no randomization and no control group. Nobody was in charge, exactly, and nobody was really taking consistent measurements. And yet it was the most massive experiment ever run, and it included every scientist on Earth. Most of those folks didn’t even realize they were in an experiment. Many of them, including me, weren’t born when the …

Equilibrium Doubled-CO2 Sensitivity by Observational Methods

By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley | Dec. 22, 2022 Dr Roy Spencer, in his formidable recent paper, has made perhaps the most comprehensive effort ever to evaluate all the available meteorological data and to derive therefrom an upper-bound estimate of <2.1 K equilibrium doubled-CO2 sensitivity (ECS). His method, like all the best methods, is based more on observational than on numerical techniques. He concludes that 2.1 K is an upper bound because climatology has not taken sufficient account of subsurface warming from below (Professor Viterito has long suspected subocean volcanism as a significant contributor to recent warming), and has also …
