An End… and a New Direction

Guest Editorial: Dr. Tim Ball I thought about making this my last article on climate for this or any other website except my own. I planned the action some time ago, but it was the recent headline in the Telegraph that triggered this penultimate move. It said, “Climate change is a risk investors can’t ignore: Black Rock latest to sound the alarm on environment.” Climate change is not a risk factor. Current climate and climate changes are normal and well within the pattern of change over history, certainly the last 10,000 years. The world believes otherwise, despite efforts by me …

New CO2 Science: From Climate Demon to Saint

Principia Scientific April 8, 2019 by John O’Sullivan The new millenium is seeing revolutionary change in our understanding of carbon dioxide (CO2). Once the demon global warming gas, scientists are increasingly accepting they got that wrong. We examine some of the astonishing developments. Robin Wylie, is a doctoral candidate in volcanology, at University College London. Like other experts in this field he will shock you with a surprising new fact. Planet Earth is a heavy smoker. The true extent of its habit, though, has only recently begun to surface. Until around the start of this new century, the academic consensus …

Association for Progress in Freedom on “Climate Change” and “Climate Protection”

The falsification of the radiative greenhouse gas effect By: Tom D Tamarkin We have aligned the Great Climate Debate Mango project and EnergyCite with Vereins Fortschritt in Freiheit e.V. zu „Klimawandel“ und „Klimaschutz“ or the Association for Progress in Freedom on “Climate Change” and “Climate Protection” (APFC) in cologne, Germany. APFC’s position on AGW/climate change is quite simple and rests on the fact that “greenhouse gases” (water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, CFCs, and the like) do not transfer heat through the so called IR radiative greenhouse gas theory and that theory has been proven false within the frame …

Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics

By: Gerhard Gerlich Ralf D. Tscheuschner Abstract The atmospheric greenhouse effect, an idea that authors trace back to the traditional works of Fourier 1824, Tyndall 1861, and Arrhenius 1896, and which is still supported in global climatology, essentially describes a fictitious mechanism, in which a planetary atmosphere acts as a heat pump driven by an environment that is radiatively interacting with but radiatively equilibrated to the atmospheric system. According to the second law of thermodynamics such a planetary machine can never exist. Nevertheless, in almost all texts of global climatology and in a widespread secondary literature it is taken for …

Proof of the Atmospheric Greenhouse Effect

Arthur P. Smith (Submitted on 29 Feb 2008) A recently advanced argument against the atmospheric greenhouse effect is refuted. A planet without an infrared absorbing atmosphere is mathematically constrained to have an average temperature less than or equal to the effective radiating temperature. Observed parameters for Earth prove that without infrared absorption by the atmosphere, the average temperature of Earth’s surface would be at least 33 K lower than what is observed.

Comments on the Proof of the atmospheric greenhouse effect

Gerhard Kramm, Ralph Dlugi, and Michael Zelger University of Alaska Fairbanks, Geophysical Institute 903 Koyukuk Drive, P.O. Box 757320, Fairbanks, AK 99775-7320, USA Arbeitsgruppe Atmosphärische Prozesse (AGAP), Gernotstraße, D-80804 Munich, Germany Abstract: In this paper it is shown that Smith (2008) used inappropriate and inconsistent formulations in averaging various quantities over the entire surface of the Earth considered as a sphere. Using two instances of averaging procedures as customarily applied in studies on turbulence, it is shown that Smith’s formulations are highly awkward. Furthermore, Smith’s discussion of the infrared absorption in the atmosphere is scrutinized and evaluated. It is shown …

Reply to “Comment on ‘Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics” by Joshua B. Halpern, et al

Gerhard Gerlich, Ralf D. Tscheuschner (Submitted on 2 Dec 2010) It is shown that the notorious claim by Halpern et al. recently repeated in their comment that the method, logic, and conclusions of our “Falsification Of The CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics” would be in error has no foundation. Since Halpern et al. communicate our arguments incorrectly, their comment is scientifcally vacuous. In particular, it is not true that we are “trying to apply the Clausius statement of the Second Law of Thermodynamics to only one side of a heat transfer process rather than the entire process” …

What’s Wrong with the Claim that “97% of Climate Scientists Agree” about Global Warming?

Cornwall Alliance June 8, 2017 By Neil L. Frank, Ph.D. A variety of studies have purported to find an overwhelming consensus among climate scientists on global warming. However, the studies rarely specify what it is to which the scientists agree. Usually it is nothing more than that the earth has warmed since 1800 and that human activity has contributed significantly to the warming—something almost no skeptics would deny. No study—whether a survey of published articles or a survey directly of scientists—has found anything remotely near a 97% consensus not only that the earth has warmed and that human activity has …
