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.” …

Not a Lot of People Know That By Paul Homewood | June 13, 2022 I’ve now had a chance to write a fuller account of my new paper on the BBC: The BBC has been accused of institutional alarmism in a new report published by Net Zero Watch. It reveals the BBC’s persistent exaggeration and false information when it comes to climate and weather-related news. The study, written by me, reveals that the BBC has been forced to correct a dozen items of false claims and fake news in climate-related coverage after receiving public complaints in recent years. The paper …

Bud Bromley | June 11, 2022 Richard Feynman frequently reminded us, “If it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is. It does not make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is – if it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. That is all there is to it.” (Feynman, 1965) In the 2 years following the June 15, 1991 eruption of the Pinatubo volcano, the natural environment removed more CO2 than the entire increase …
