WUWT By John A. Parmentola, The RAND Corporation | Oct. 1, 2022 I have been working on Milankovitch Theory for about three years, trying to understand it. In doing so, I have gained some new insights into this theory. I have also discovered that there are some misconceptions about what it is. This brief note summarizes my work while clarifying several aspects of the theory. Milankovitch Theory is not a complete theory. It’s more of a hypothesis concerning insolation changes over time and the associated recurrence of ice ages. It is also not a climate model, as some assume. The …

By: Bud Bromley September 28, 2022 Earth’s oceans can easily absorb all known and estimated carbon if that carbon were burned and CO2 emitted to the air.  Ocean is an infinite sink for carbon.  This “infinite CO2 sink” is due to several factors, including importantly these two: (a) bicarbonate ion (HCO3–) is over 90% of the ionized CO2 gas in sea water. The several elemental ionic species in normal sea water which readily combine with bicarbonate ion (to form molecules or ionic pairs) are more abundant in seawater than bicarbonate ions, and (b), both CO2 gas and its ionic species …

Everything that needs electricity is made with the oil derivatives manufactured from crude oil. In an all-electric world, there will be nothing to power without oil. Published Sept 22, 2022 at Heartland https://www.heartland.org/news-opinion/news/america-is-successfully-pursuing-esg–extreme-shortages-guaranteed Energy growth, electricity AND the products made from oil derivatives manufactured from crude oil and the fuels to power ships, planes, militaries, and space programs, are directly linked to prosperity and well-being across the globe. Today, most of the energy the world consumes is from hydrocarbons, with crude oil being the dominant source of transportation fuels. Today, crude oil is the ONLY source for the oil derivatives …

By Bud Bromley | September 23, 2022 Roy Spencer, PhD. (attached pdf.) and Murry Salby, PhD. (video link and text excerpt below), Tom Segalstad, PhD., (excerpts and links below and paper attached as pdf) and Edwin X Berry, PhD., (excerpt and link below and pdf attached) and Werner Stumm, PhD., have explained the problems with IPCC claimed carbon isotope “proof.”  Key excerpts and links to these works are presented here.  Brief bios of these scientists are below. At this link is an excellent video lecture by Professor Murry Salby, PhD. The problem with the isotope “proof” is explained beginning at …

Climate Depot By Marc Morano | Sept. 17, 2022 NPR’s SVP of News and Editorial Director Nancy Barnes:  “No story touches as many people as climate change. Heat waves, mega-droughts and unprecedented floods are all becoming more intense and frequent. Climate related weather disasters are upending the way people live from China to California, from Pakistan to Florida. These extreme events have caused a global food crisis, the rise of new diseases and the displacement of millions of people,” added Kissack. “With the NPR newsroom and Member stations, we’ll strive to do stories that shape the national conversation on climate …

Daily Sceptic Chris Morrison | Sept. 14, 2022 Four leading Italian scientists have undertaken a major review of historical climate trends and concluded that declaring a ‘climate emergency’ is not supported by the data. Reviewing data from a wide range of weather phenomena, they say a ‘climate crisis’ of the kind people are becoming alarmed about “is not evident yet”. The scientists suggest that rather than burdening our children with anxiety about climate change, we should encourage them to think about issues like energy, food and health, and the challenges in each area, with a more “objective and constructive spirit” …

By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley| Sept. 3, 2022 The New Pause has paused. As in July, so in August, there has been a zero trend in global warming for 7 years 11 months according to the UAH satellite lower-troposphere dataset – For completeness, here is the whole dataset since it went live in December 1978 – Woe, woe and thrice woe! [Britain has had Mediterranean weather, and we like it, which is why we holiday there: I am about to give a piano recital in Malta]. Lake Mead is drying up!! [through over-extraction, not global warming]. The whole of Europe, …
