FIFTY YEARS OF CLIMATE FEARMONGERING

FIFTY YEARS OF CLIMATE FEARMONGERING

This is a letter sent to various editors by Thorpe Watson. An earlier version was published in the Trail Times (“The ‘green’ road to poverty and misery”, 30 January 2025). It was a response to a letter critical of Russ Babcock’s letter entitled: “Mother Nature is in charge; she always has been”, 26 December 2024. This letter should provide at least some relief for anyone suffering anxiety attacks triggered by political propaganda alleging a man-made climate crisis. Please be assured that there is ample scientific evidence refuting the cultish belief in a CO2-induced climate crisis and that such alarmism stems …

Climatists Make Their Case by Omitting Facts

Climatists Make Their Case by Omitting Facts

Science Matters Jan. 12, 2025 One of the world’s top economists has written an expert court report that forcefully supports a group of children and young adults who have sued the federal government for failing to act on climate change. (Source: Inside Climate News  here) Excerpts in italics with my bolds. Stiglitz, a Columbia University economics professor and former World Bank chief economist, concludes that increasing global warming will have huge costs on society and that a fossil fuel-based system “is causing imminent, significant, and irreparable harm to the Youth Plaintiffs and Affected Children more generally.” He explains in a …

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 …

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 …

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

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

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 …

Q&A: IPCC wraps up its most in-depth assessment of climate change

carbonbrief.org March 23, 2023 The final part of the world’s most comprehensive assessment of climate change – which details the “unequivocal” role of humans, its impacts on “every region” of the world and what must be done to solve it – has now been published in full by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The synthesis report is the last in the IPCC’s sixth assessment cycle, which has involved 700 scientists in 91 countries. Overall, the full cycle of reports has taken eight years to complete. The report sets out in the clearest and most evidenced detail yet …
