The Shocking Climate Graph @climateofgavin Doesn’t Want You To See

WUWT Anthony Watts | Feb. 3, 2021 Just a couple of days ago, climate scientist Dr. Roy Spencer suggested U.S. Warming Trends could be largely spurious. In his analysis, Dr. Spencer examined another dataset maintained by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and found that when adjusted for population density, weather stations used to measure climate trends report lower long term temperature trends: “… the highest population density stations had ~0.25 C/decade warming trend, with a reduced warming trend as population density was reduced…” He adds: “Significantly, extrapolating to zero population density would give essentially no warming in the United …

Could Recent U.S. Warming Trends be Largely Spurious?

January 29th, 2021 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D. Several lines of evidence suggest observed warming trends are not nearly as large as what you have been told. It’s been almost eight years since I posted results on my analysis of the global Integrated Surface Database (ISD) temperature data. Despite finding evidence that urbanization effects on temperature measurements have not been removed from official land temperature datasets, I still refer people to the official products (e.g. from NOAA GHCN, HadCRUT, etc.). This is because I never published any results from my analysis. But I’ve started thinking again about the question, …

How Busy Was the 2020 Hurricane Season?

How Busy Was the 2020 Hurricane Season?

By Neil L. Frank | December 11, 2020 The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, with 30 named storms, is going down in the record books as having the most named storms of any season on record. But are we comparing apples and apples—or apples and oranges? Some people blame the recent increase in named storms—tropical storms and hurricanes—on global warming, and infer that we must stop spewing CO2 into the atmosphere to curb the warming and so prevent the increase in storms and the damage they cause. But the raw data for hurricane history is contaminated by changes in observing tools, …

The U. S. Has No Business in the Paris Climate Accords

Shale Magazine By: Tom D. Tamarkin & Foster Friess December 19, 2020 In March 2019, House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi unveiled the Climate Action Now Act which was a bill that essentially forbids the US withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accords. At the same time Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer announced a new Democratic committee on climate change that would give the Senate a larger climate change forum. The House bill passed the House but not the Senate and the Senate climate change committee went nowhere. Under President Donald Trump’s order, the US filed its intent to withdraw from …

Study suggests no more CO2 warming

Study suggests no more CO2 warming

CFact | By David Wojick | October 26th, 2020 Precision research by physicists William Happer and William van Wijngaarden has determined that the present levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide and water vapor are almost completely saturated. In radiation physics the technical term “saturated” implies that adding more molecules will not cause more warming. In plain language this means that from now on our emissions from burning fossil fuels could have little or no further impact on global warming. There would be no climate emergency.  No threat at all. We could emit as much CO2 as we like; with no effect. …

The truth behind renewable energy

The truth behind renewable energy

Can renewable energy sources supply the world with a large share of the energy it requires? While some environmentalists advocate the total replacement of fossil fuels by solar, wind and battery power, Dr Lars Schernikau explains why this is impossible. by Dr. Lars Schernikau, HMS Bergbau Group, Germany & Singapore Download the Full Article   Photo: A young man burning electrical wires to recover copper at Agbogbloshie, September 2019; Wikipedia Free License   Today we hear and read about the climate crisis every day, driven by well-funded campaigns. But we hear little of the perils of switching from conventional energy …

Emergency and Continuous Exposure Guidance Levels for Selected Submarine Contaminants: Volume 1 (2007)

Emergency and Continuous Exposure Guidance Levels for Selected Submarine Contaminants: Volume 1 (2007)

The National Academies Press 3 Carbon Dioxide This chapter summarizes the relevant epidemiologic and toxicologic studies on carbon dioxide (CO2). Selected chemical and physical properties, toxicokinetic and mechanistic data, and inhalation exposure levels from the National Research Council (NRC) and other agencies are also presented. The subcommittee considered all of that information in its evaluation of the Navy’s current and proposed 1-hour (h), 24-h, and 90-day exposure guidance levels for CO2. The subcommittee’s recommendations for CO2 exposure levels are provided at the conclusion of this chapter along with a discussion of the adequacy of the data for defining those levels …

Greenland and the 1950s Climate Consensus

Greenland and the 1950s Climate Consensus

WUWT October 13, 2020 What’s Natural? by Jim Steele Glaciers around the world reached their greatest size in four thousand years by 1850. Then abruptly the world began to warm. Arctic sea ice lost 40% of its thickness by 1940. Around the Arctic island of Spitsbergen melting sea ice allowed shipping season to lengthen from 3 months to 7 by 1940, meanwhile 400 additional square miles of sea ice was melting along the Russian coasts. By 1950, 96% of Europe’s glaciers were retreating and small glaciers had simply disappeared. In the tropics, Africa’s Kilimanjaro’s iconic glaciers was also shrinking alarmingly. …
