Principia Scientific by James G Matkin | January 16, 2020 Climate science is supposed to be settled, right? We are told that there is an overwhelming agreement, or consensus, among scientists that most weather and climate changes that have occurred since the mid-20th century have been caused by human activity — our fossil fuel burning and CO2 emissions in particular. We are told that natural mechanisms that used to dominate are no longer exerting much of any influence on weather or climate anymore. Humans predominantly cause weather and climate changes now. For example, we are told that extreme weather (hurricanes, …

WUWT January 17, 2020 By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley In the increasingly vain hope of success in flogging the dead horse Global Warming, revisionists are increasingly trying to pretend that climatologists’ original predictions of doom were accurate. Here, I shall take a further look at the single most important prediction of them all: IPCC’s prediction of medium-term warming from 1990-2025 in its First Assessment Report. When I recently pointed out that a revisionist paper praising models’ original predictions in fact proved they greatly exaggerate, faithful adherents of the New Religion piled in to try to say the original predictions were …

American Thinker By J.B. Shurk | January 13, 2020 There is a credibility crisis for Western governments. For too many years, their incompetence and deceit have forced ordinary citizens to question whether they produce more harm than good. On both sides of the Atlantic, the governing elite play by a set of rules that separates them from those they govern. They ignore popular discontent while placing themselves above the law. It is in this volatile climate that they push the greatest con game ever concocted: man-made global warming. This is the hubris that brings empires crashing down. Like any confidence …

Washington Times By Anthony J. Sadar  | January 9, 2020 Predictions of climate gloom and doom have gotten more confident and dire with each passing year. But the passing years have not been kind to the certainty of their fruition. As a new academic semester gets underway at the beginning of this new decade, the college campus is where catastrophic climate change has actually happened over the most recent decades. Like the inception of a violent storm, the destructive change had small beginnings. The field of climatology in the 1970s, when I was a student of meteorology at Penn State, …

By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley Jan. 5, 2020 This will be a long posting, because it is necessary to nail the childish myth that global warming caused the bushfires in Australia. The long, severe drought in Australia, culminating in the most extensive bushfires in recent history, ought to have aroused sympathy for the cattle-ranchers who have lost their livestock and the citizens who have lost their homes. But no. Instead, those who profiteer by asserting that global warming is the cause of every extreme-weather event have rushed to state – falsely – that an “overwhelming scientific consensus” (to cite the …

Principia Scientific | By  T L Winslow | Dec. 30, 2019 Ever hear of the Big Lie Theory? The CO2 greenhouse warming theory is a gigantic scientific hoax with ulterior purposes. It originated back in the 19th century when understanding of thermodynamics was still primitive and atmospheric CO2 levels were low. In 1988 as it was about extinct it was picked up and propagated by the globalist Marxists at the U.N. and their politician-run IPCC octopus of kept scientists, academics, journalists, and politicians as part of a vast plot to foist Marxist world government by scaring the world into giving …

Principia Scientific  by Viv Forbes | Dec. 24, 2019 Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927) was a Swedish scientist who first claimed that the burning of hydrocarbons like coal, oil, gas, peat, and wood may cause global warming. In 1895, he calculated (incorrectly) that a doubling of the atmospheric CO2 concentration would lead to a 4-5o C rise in global temperature. However, Arrhenius suggested that this increase could be beneficial, making the various climates on Earth “more equable” and stimulating plant growth and food production. Then a showman/politician, Al Gore, gave life to the theory that extra carbon dioxide due to human activities will …

Principia Scientific by Jim Hoft | December 1, 2019 Here we go… More lies from the globalist elites. It never stops.And then when they toss out these absurd numbers they wonder why nobody with a brain trusts them! UN General Secretary General Antonio Guterres, the former Socialist president of Portugal, kicked off the international Climate Summit that begins on Monday and lasts until December 13th. In his speech Guterres hurled out several threats to his audience including the line that “the point of no return is not on the horizon but rather it is being thrown at us.” And then …

WUWT Author: Thomas K. Bjorklund, University of Houston, Dept. of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences October16, 2019 Key Points From 1850 to the present, the noise-corrected, average warming of the surface of the earth is less than 0.07 degrees C per decade. 2. The rate of warming of the surface of the earth does not correlate with the rate of increase of fossil fuel emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere. Recent increases in surface temperatures reflect 40 years of increasing intensities of the El Nino Southern Oscillation climate pattern. Abstract This study investigates the relationships between surface temperatures from 1850 to …

By Chris Martz | November 9, 2019     INTRODUCTION Just when wildfires weren’t enough, we now have people blaming cold weather on a warming climate, which seems quite contradictory. In light of the Arctic outbreak in forecast this coming week, people like Phil Plait (who has since blocked me) took to Twitter (Figure 1) to claim that man-made climate change is causing frigid, Arctic air to be displaced south into the United States, Europe, and Asia. Figure 1. Phil Plait thinks cold weather is caused by climate change. His argument, which is supported by some climate scientists, suggests that …
