CCP Proves ‘Climate’ Fight Not Really About Climate

The Epoch Times By Alex Newman | January 10, 2023 Commentary You don’t have to be a climate scientist to know the ringleaders of the “climate change” bandwagon don’t truly believe the narrative they’re selling. And it’s not just because they jet around the world in private jets to lecture you about your car and your hamburgers. In fact, if the people at the top bought into the notion that human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are really “pollution” producing a “climate crisis,” they would be doing exactly the opposite of what they’re actually doing. Examining climate policy and communist …

Municipalities of Puerto Rico v. Exxon Mobil, et al. Part 2: RICO-teering

Russell Cook | Jan. 4, 2023 Bad enough that this lawsuit filing from the Milberg Coleman Bryson Phillips Grossman LLC law firm has a no-win appearance of being either a mismanaged effort guided by the Sher Edling law firm without any disclosure of that partnership, or it appears to be a spectacularly inept and possibly unethical plagiarizing of the accusation content and other bits from the 16 boilerplate copy Sher Edling lawsuits. I detailed all of that in my Part 1 blog post (handily reproduced at WUWT, enabling me to reach a wider reading audience). Exponentially worse for Milberg Coleman is the widespread news …

The New Pause lengthens: 100 Months with No Warming At All

By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley | Jan. 3, 2023 The cold weather on both sides of the Atlantic last month seems to have had its effect on temperature, which fell sharply compared with November, lengthening the New Pause to 8 years 4 months, as measured by the satellites designed, built and operated by Dr Roy Spencer and Dr John Christy at the University of Alabama in Huntsville: The graph shows the least-squares linear-regression trend on the monthly global mean lower-troposphere anomalies. The least-squares method was recommended by Professor Jones of the University of East Anglia as a reasonable method of …

The rise and fall of peer review

Experimental History Adam Mastroianni | Dec 13, 2022 Why the greatest scientific experiment in history failed, and why that’s a great thing For the last 60 years or so, science has been running an experiment on itself. The experimental design wasn’t great; there was no randomization and no control group. Nobody was in charge, exactly, and nobody was really taking consistent measurements. And yet it was the most massive experiment ever run, and it included every scientist on Earth. Most of those folks didn’t even realize they were in an experiment. Many of them, including me, weren’t born when the …

The 60- & 88-year temperature oscillations are related to planetary and solar oscillations

Dr. Antero OIlila Dec. 19, 2022 The mechanism and even the existence of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) have remained under debate among climate researchers, and the same applies to general temperature oscillations of a 60-90-year period. The recently published study of Ollila and Timonen has found that these oscillations are real and they are related to 60- and 88-year periodicities originating from the planetary and solar activity oscillations. These oscillations can be observed in the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), the Pacific Multidecadal Oscillation (PMO), and actually in the global surface temperature (GST). The similarities between the GST, AMO, PMO, …

Equilibrium Doubled-CO2 Sensitivity by Observational Methods

By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley | Dec. 22, 2022 Dr Roy Spencer, in his formidable recent paper, has made perhaps the most comprehensive effort ever to evaluate all the available meteorological data and to derive therefrom an upper-bound estimate of <2.1 K equilibrium doubled-CO2 sensitivity (ECS). His method, like all the best methods, is based more on observational than on numerical techniques. He concludes that 2.1 K is an upper bound because climatology has not taken sufficient account of subsurface warming from below (Professor Viterito has long suspected subocean volcanism as a significant contributor to recent warming), and has also …

UAH – What is Foretold

David Archibald | Dec. 21, 2022 We all know that Santa’s workshop is somewhere in the Arctic, producing toys for the world’s children. Also north of the Arctic Circle is Professor Humlum’s office at the Unversity of Svalbaard wherein he toils each month to update a report on climate. The first chart in that report is the UAH temperature for the lower troposphere, copied following and annotated with lines showing the evident trends: Figure 1: UAH global temperature anomaly In the period from 1978 to 2015, the lower bound of the record is shown by the orange line. Then there …

“All-the-Above” Energy Policy Is a Compromise That Reverses Human and Environmental Progress

CO2 Coalition by Dr. Indur Goklany | Dec. 9, 2022 The Net Zero energy policy pursued by the current administration would essentially, sooner or later, phase out fossil fuels. That would roll back much of the progress America and the world has witnessed since the 19th century in economic and human well-being while increasing pressures on the rest of nature. An alternative, embraced by many conservatives, is the “all-the-above” (ATA) policy. This approach preserves the option of using fossil fuels but with strict limitations that, however, are not founded on empirical science. Moreover, ATA would hamstring economic growth, increase the …

Climate Insights 2020 Surveying American Public Opinion on Climate Change and the Environment

About the Project This report is the first in a series by researchers at Stanford University, Resources for the Future, and ReconMR examining American public opinion on issues related to climate change—beliefs about existence and threat, as well as public support for government action and specific policy preferences. Since 1997, Stanford University Professor Jon Krosnick has explored American public opinion on these issues through a series of rigorous national surveys of random samples of American adults, often in collaboration with RFF. For the 2020 iteration of the Climate Insights survey, 999 American adults were interviewed during the 80-day period from …

Climate lockdowns coming? You will be tracked in your suburb and happy about it.

A cartoon from the WEF just for you good girls and boys JoNova Dec. 4, 2022 The 15 Minute City is a UN and WEF plan, because they care about you want you drive less. In the WEF’s own words — this rearrangement of cities is absolutely about climate change: As climate change and global conflict cause shocks and stresses at faster intervals and increasing severity, the 15-minute city will become even more critical. And the solution was the pandemic (they really say that): The obvious, yet incomplete, answer is the pandemic…. with COVID-19 and its variants keeping everyone home …
