The New Pause that goes on giving

The New Pause that goes on giving

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 …

Confirmed – all 5 global temperature anomaly measurement systems reject NOAA’s July 2021 “hottest month ever” hype

Confirmed – all 5 global temperature anomaly measurement systems reject NOAA’s July 2021 “hottest month ever” hype

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 …

Investors Lose £24 Million In Wind Scam

Investors Lose £24 Million In Wind Scam

Not a Lot of People Know That By Paul Homewood | Sept. 27, 2021 h/t Lez Beware green investments! Holders of “mini-bonds” issued by Future Renewables Eco, a wind farm investment company, are braced to lose more than half their investments after it collapsed into administration on Sept 17. It owned 10 wind turbines across Britain and was funded by 750 bondholders who ploughed £24m into the company between 2015 and 2017.  They were due to vote on Sept 18 on whether the company should be wound up or placed in administration, but the company’s bosses said early voting suggested …

New Documentary Reveals How Corrupt And Destructive Green Energies Are: “This Is A Broken System”

Headwind The green energy future is not green at all, a stunning new documentary shows how corrupt and destructive it is to our environment. A former KPMG employee in London realizes that the green energy movement is corrupt throughout. “The whole time things started feeling funny. It was like a glitch. It’s like, this doesn’t feel right. These people are doing these big projects, making lots of money. But they’re not sustainable. You know, these are some of the most ego-driven monsters. There is a lot of dark stuff in these companies’ supply chains. It’s all about money, and they’re …

The Impossibility Of The 1.5C Target

The Impossibility Of The 1.5C Target

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 …

Limits to existing quantitative understanding of past, present and future changes to atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration

A presentation by Richard S. Courtney to the Climate Conference held In New York, on 2 to 4 March 2008 Synopsis This presentation demonstrates that it cannot be known what if any effect altering the anthropogenic emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) will have on the future atmospheric CO2 concentration. It is commonly assumed that the rise in atmospheric CO2 concentration during the twentieth century (approx. 30% rise) is a result of anthropogenic emissions of CO2 (1,2,3) . However, the annual pulse of anthropogenic CO2 into the atmosphere should relate to the annual increase of CO2 in the atmosphere if one …

Preprint #3: Human carbon emissions caused only 25% of the CO2 increase

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.  …

Checking for model consistency in optimal fingerprinting: a comment

Abstract Allen and Tett (1999, herein AT99) introduced a Generalized Least Squares (GLS) regression methodology for decomposing patterns of climate change for attribution purposes and proposed the “Residual Consistency Test” (RCT) to check the GLS specification. Their methodology has been widely used and highly influential ever since, in part because subsequent authors have relied upon their claim that their GLS model satisfies the conditions of the Gauss-Markov (GM) Theorem, thereby yielding unbiased and efficient estimators. But AT99 stated the GM Theorem incorrectly, omitting a critical condition altogether, their GLS method cannot satisfy the GM conditions, and their variance estimator is …

How much has the Sun influenced Northern Hemisphere temperature trends? An ongoing debate

Abstract In order to evaluate how much Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) has influenced Northern Hemisphere surface air temperature trends, it is important to have reliable estimates of both quantities. Sixteen different estimates of the changes in TSI since at least the 19th century were compiled from the literature. Half of these estimates are “low variability” and half are “high variability”. Meanwhile, five largely-independent methods for estimating Northern Hemisphere temperature trends were evaluated using: 1) only rural weather stations; 2) all available stations whether urban or rural (the standard approach); 3) only sea surface temperatures; 4) tree-ring widths as temperature proxies; …
