Getty Images The blue DB6 Mk2 Volante was given to the Prince of Wales for his 21st birthday From BBC | Oct. 11, 2021 Challenged about his own efforts to reduce his carbon footprint, Prince Charles said he had switched the heating of Birkhall to biomass boilers, using wood chips from trees felled in the estate’s forest. He has installed solar panels at Clarence House, his London residence, and on the farm buildings of his Gloucestershire home, Highgrove. He said he had installed heat pumps at some of his properties and a hydroelectric turbine in the river that runs beside Birkhall. He was also challenged on his long-standing …

By Larry Hamlin | Oct. 12, 2021 Biden and his climate alarmist Democrats have falsely claimed that increasing heat waves in the U.S. caused by climate change require that new government actions will be needed to protect people from heat related illnesses with these heat waves leading to increased heat related deaths and emergency room visits. The Democrats alarmists claims of increasing heat waves occurring across the U.S. because of climate change are unsupported by Biden’s own EPA data which shows that the U.S. in not experiencing increased occurrences or intensity of heat waves based on EPA’s 125 years of extreme heat event trending data across the U.S. …

No Tricks Zone P. Gosselin | 10. October 2021 In the latest climate and energy video by German site Die kalte Sonne, media claims of increasingly stronger and frequent hurricanes are examined closely and reach the conclusion: “Over the past 170 years, hurricanes have not occurred more frequently or gotten more intense.” In the wake of hurricane Ida, a number of mainstream media outlets, like German ZDF, blared that hurricanes have gotten worse over the recent decades – due to global warming. But that statement has been found to be driven more by alarmism and activism, and not based on …

Dr. Antero Ollila October 6, 2021 The Nobel Prize Committee has given the following arguments for their choice of rewarding researchers Suykuro, Manabe and Klaus Hasselman: “For the physical modelling of the Earth’s climate , quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming.” The Committee also presented a brief description of Manabe’s climate model: “Suykuro Manabe was the first researcher to explore the interactions between radiation balance and the vertical transport of air masses due to convection, also taking account of the heat contributed by the water cycle”. For me it looks like the skeptical and contrarian climate websites have totally …

Manhattan Contrarian By Francis Menton | October 03, 2021 The bureaucrats of the world, particularly in the UN and developed countries, have the idea that they are going to eliminate all use of fossil fuels by somewhere around 2040-50. They have no conception of how to accomplish that, other than to order from on high that it shall occur and assume that somebody else will figure out the details. This gives the rest of us the opportunity to sit on the sidelines and observe how bureaucratic fantasy gradually runs into the brick wall of physical reality. Back in June I …

No Tricks Zone By Kirye and Pierre | 1. October 2021 Tokyo has seen its coolest September in over 30 years, according to data from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). Data source: JMA. Tokyo’s mean temperature for September, 2021, was 22.3°C — the coolest recorded September mean in over 30 years. Hachijojima island Meanwhile, Hachijojima, an island belonging to Tokyo out in the Pacific and absent of the urban heat island effect, saw a September mean temperature of 24.5°C: Data source: JMA.  Plotting the data going back 107 years, the island has not seen any real warming at all in …

Viscount Monckton of Brenchley | Oct. 2, 2021 The New Pause has lengthened by a further month, from 6 years 8 months to 6 years 9 months. As usual, it is calculated as the longest period, up to the most recent month for which data are available, during which the trend on the UAH global mean lower-troposphere temperature dataset is zero. If anyone has seen a mention of this emerging and now quite long Pause in any mainstream news medium, let me know in comments. Here in the UK, the unspeakable BBC has kept the fact secret from its rapidly-dwindling …

by Larry Hamlin | Oct. 1, 2021 In a prior article I had already concluded that none of the 5 major global temperature anomaly measurement systems (UAH, RSS, GISS, HadCRUT5 and NOAA) agreed that July 2021 was the “hottest month ever” as falsely hyped by AP climate alarmist writer Seth Borenstein and as erroneously promoted by climate alarmist “scientists” at NOAA. This result was particularly significant and embarrassing for NOAA since its global temperature anomaly for July 2021 was reduced in value as a part of its August temperature update posting from their prior “hottest month ever” claim which meant that the …

Not a Lot of People Know That By Paul Homewood | September 22, 2021 As you will recall, the Paris Agreement set a target of 2C warming from pre-industrial levels, but parties agreed to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C. These of course were only “wishes”, and the Agreement had contained nothing of substance to meet either of these objectives. Nevertheless, the upcoming COP26 is increasingly being presented as an opportunity to get global warming down from 2C to 1.5C. Even if you accept the basic premise of GHGs, this is a nonsense. As already pointed …

August 12, 2021: Today, the Swiss journal “Atmosphere” accepted this for publication. edberry.com | September 12, 2021 Comments by scientists: “Dear Ed, Congratulations – a wonderful piece of work.” – Dr. Nils-Axel Morner “A proper model must address all CO2 in the atmosphere at once, without discrimination. You do that magnificently from first principles.” – Dr. Gordon Fulks “Ed does not make mathematical mistakes in solving his rate equations.” – Dr. William Happer Dr. Richard Courtney wrote in his email to global-warming-realists@googlegroups.com on November 21, 2019: Dear Ed, I again provided my 2008 paper as an attachment to an email earlier today.  …
