By Charles Rotter | July 22, 2022 Most people are more worried about high gas and food prices, which green policies make worse. Bjorn Lomborg writes in the Wall Street Journal, The chattering classes who jet to conferences at Davos or Aspen have for years been telling the rest of us that our biggest immediate threats are climate change, environmental disasters and biodiversity loss. They point to the current heat waves killing thousands across Europe as the latest reason to change our societies and economies radically by switching to renewables. Such arguments are misleading. It’s true that as temperatures rise …

By Bud Bromley | July 15, 2022 Erroneous assumptions based on the 1958-1964 works of Bert Bolin are deep in the orthodoxy of human-CO2-caused global warming /climate change.  Bert Rickard Johannes Bolin (1925 – 2007) was a Swedish meteorologist who served as the first chairman of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), from 1988 to 1997.  “Bolin is credited with bringing together a diverse range of views among the panel’s 3,500 scientists into something resembling a consensus.” (Sundt, Nick. 1995.) He was professor of meteorology at Stockholm University from 1961 until his retirement in 1990.  Bolin’s papers were based on differential equations, calculus and assumed …

No Tricks Zone By Kenneth Richard on 7. July 2022 A new study (Gupta et al., 2022) indicates that from 2000-2019 73% of the 15 sites considered have been cooling and 67% have experienced a lengthening of sea ice duration. Canada’s Hudson Bay extends into the Arctic Ocean and its coasts are teeming with polar bears. Scientists report 11 of 15 Hudson Bay sites have been cooling since 2000. The average cooling for these 11 sites is -0.34°C per decade. Image Source: Gupta et al., 2022 Cooling °C per decade, 2000-2019 Chesterfield Inlet: -0.25°C Cape Tatnum: -0.3°C Fort Severn: -0.5°C …

By Bud Bromley | July 2, 2022 The error in Friedlingstein et al is much larger than expected. Friedlingstein et al Page 4. “when the cement carbonation sink is included), ELUC was 0.9 ± 0.7 GtC yr-1 , for a total anthropogenic CO2 emission of 10.2 ± 0.8 GtC yr-1 15 (37.4 ± 2.9 GtCO2).” The amounts above are their calculation, not mine. Friedlingstein et al reported their estimate for 1 year’s (2020) increase for human fossil fuel emissions, land use and cement = 37.4 +- 2.9 Gt CO2. This is their estimate of emissions not net emissions. Net CO2 …

By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley | July 2, 2022 The New Pause paused last month because I was ill. Many apologies for the interruption. Now, however, it resumes – and it has lengthened from 7 years 7 months to the end of April 2022. To the end of June 2022, the New Pause is now 7 years 10 months in length: This Pause, like its predecessor, which was an impressive 18 years 8 months (UAH), or 18 years 9 months (HadCRUT4), is, as always, not cherry-picked. It is derived from the UAH monthly global mean lower-troposphere temperature anomalies as the …

tambonthongchai.com | Dec. 29, 2020 THIS POST IS A CRITICAL REVIEW OF A LECTURE ON CARBON BUDGETS FOR THE CLIMATE ACTION OF REDUCING AND ELIMINATING FOSSIL FUEL EMISSIONS SO THAT HUMANS CAN CONTROL THE CLIMATE AND SAVE THE PLANET. LINK TO SOURCE: https://futureoflife.org/2019/10/29/not-cool-ep-18-glen-peters-on-the-carbon-budget-and-global-carbon-emissions/ PART-1: WHAT CLIMATE SCIENTIST DR. GLEN PETERS SAYS GLEN PETERS, CLIMATE SCIENTIST, AND CARBON BUDGET EXPERT. Topic: We’ll learn what the carbon budget is and why it’s hard to calculate, why some causes of carbon emissions are harder to address than others, how the phrase “carbon footprint” is so often misused and why it’s also hard to …

The English Channel and the coast of Sussex England Bud Bromley | June 25, 2022 We should not rely on estimates of human CO2 from fossil fuels to calculate atmospheric CO2.  These data can only be used for the very broadest estimate of trend direction.  This is not meant as a critique of the long and diligent curation of these fossil fuel numbers by the U.S. Oak Ridge National Laboratory, nor critique of the works of Friedlingstein et al.  These curators must work with the data they are given.  Over the years many of the countries submitting fossil fuel data …

FrontPage Mag by Daniel Greenfield | June 24, 2022 A crisis requires a perpetual atmosphere of fear and the insistence that things are getting worse and worse all the time. “We have already poisoned the atmosphere, we have to repair and heal the Earth and the only way to do that is to remove carbon dioxide permanently,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm bizarrely claimed as part of Biden’s ‘Earthshot” to destroy America’s economy and turn the rest of it over to Communist China. Bud Bromley makes an important point in his analysis of CO2 levels. As Ron Clutz summarizes, “Those committed to …

No Tricks Zone by P. Gosselin | June 17, 2022 “Worse than fossil fuels”…wood burning “must stop…” Source: Klimaschau 115 Governments and activists like claiming that burning wood and wood pellets from trees in power plants is an effective way to reduce global CO2 emissions. Yet researchers now say it is in fact having the opposite effect. Hat-tip: Klimaschau 115 A team led by Laura Bloomer concluded here in a report that “burning trees and other forest biomass for energy is contrary to climate mitigation, biodiversity protection, and environmental justice goals” and that “governments must stop promoting climate-damaging forest bioenergy.” …
