Radiative emissions from greenhouse gases delay cooling, do not produce warming

Bud Bromley October 12, 2019 More than 10 years ago, Dr. Roy Spencer explained (1) in detail with examples why the climate models are wrong.  All models were overstating climate sensitivity to greenhouse gases.  The models were all (at the time) too sensitive to radiative forcing because they had misunderstood feedback processes, that is, feedback is an effect of radiative forcing, not a cause.  His blockbuster revelation was that ALL feedback from radiative emissions from greenhouse gases is negative. This note confirms Dr. Spencer’s conclusion at the molecular level.  In the troposphere, the layer of air closest to earth’s surface, …

Michael Mann “Hockey Stick” Update: Now Definitively Established To Be Fraud

Manhattan Contrarian August 26, 2019 | Francis Menton The Michael Mann “Hockey Stick” is suddenly back in the news. It’s been so long since we have heard from it, do you even remember what it is? The “Hockey Stick” is the graph that took the world of climate science by storm back in 1998. That’s when Mann and co-authors Raymond Bradley and Malcolm Hughes published in Nature their seminal paper “Global-scale temperature patterns and climate forcing over the past six centuries.” A subsequent 1999 update by the same authors, also in Nature (“Northern Hemisphere Temperatures During the Past Millennium: Inferences, …

Cough up the ‘secret science,’ climate propagandists!

WND Exclusive: Pat Boone continues his challenge to disgraced ‘hockey stick’ fabricator By Pat Boone | October 11, 2019 Dear reader, fellow citizen: I hope you remember a column recently in this space in which I let you know about a monumental development in this whole “global warming” panic. I shared with you the results of a little-reported court trial that detailed the embarrassing exposure of the most quoted “climate expert” as a total fraud! My purpose is to free us all from this ridiculous “Sky is Falling” scam and its primary “Chicken Little.” Now for a follow up, a …

Global Warming: Fact or Fiction? Featuring Physicists Willie Soon and Elliott Bloom

Is global warming real? Have any such predictions been established scientifically? Would massive “carbon” taxes and other controls put America and the world—especially the poor—at great risk? At this special event, geoscientist and astrophysicist Willie Soon separates fact from fiction in the global warming debate. He explains why the forecasts from CO2 climate models have been so wrong—and why solar influences on clouds, oceans, and wind drive climate change, not CO2 emissions. Stanford University physicist Elliott Bloom then comments. “The whole point of science is to question accepted dogmas. For that reason, I respect Willie Soon as a good scientist …

A Climate Modeller Spills the Beans

Quadrant 23rd September 2019 Tony Thomas There’s a top-level oceanographer and meteorologist who is  prepared to cry “Nonsense!”on the “global warming crisis” evident to climate modellers but not in the real world. He’s as well or better qualified than the modellers he criticises — the ones whose Year 2100 forebodings of 4degC warming have set the world to spending $US1.5 trillion a year to combat CO2 emissions. The iconoclast is Dr. Mototaka Nakamura. In June he put out a small book in Japanese on “the sorry state of climate science”. It’s titled Confessions of a climate scientist: the global warming …

A Short Summary of Soon, Connolly and Connolly

By Andy May Soon, Connolly and Connolly (2015) is an excellent paper (pay walled, for the authors preprint, go here) that casts some doubt about two critical IPCC AR5 statements, quoted below: The IPCC, 2013 report page 16: “Equilibrium climate sensitivity is likely in the range 1.5°C to 4.5°C (high confidence), extremely unlikely less than 1°C (high confidence), and very unlikely greater than 6°C (medium confidence).” Page 17: “It is extremely likely that more than half of the observed increase in global average surface temperature from 1951 to 2010 was caused by the anthropogenic increase in greenhouse gas concentrations and …

Re-evaluating the role of solar variability on Northern Hemisphere temperature trends since the 19th century

Willie Soon, Ronan Connolly, Michael Connolly Abstract Debate over what influence (if any) solar variability has had on surface air temperature trends since the 19th century has been controversial. In this paper, we consider two factors which may have contributed to this controversy: Several different solar variability datasets exist. While each of these datasets is constructed on plausible grounds, they often imply contradictory estimates for the trends in solar activity since the 19th century. Although attempts have been made to account for non-climatic biases in previous estimates of surface airtemperature trends, recent research by two of the authors has shown …

No Climate Emergency say 500 Scientists to UN

On the same day that Greta Thunberg made an impassioned speech to the UN about her fears of a climate emergency, 500 scientists sent a registered letter to the UN Secretary-General stating that there is no climate emergency and climate policies should be designed to benefit the lives of people.
