Alarmism like in the Middle Ages… The researchers at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research PIK are among the world leaders of the Church of Global Warming and are responsible for various stylistic fantasies such as the “tipping points”. By the European Institute for Climate and Energy Stefan Rahmstorf in particular, known since the ..read more

The globe may have only warmed by 0.41 to 0.83°C in the last 140 years. According to a new study, weather station data has been shown to non-climatically and erroneously record warmer-than-actual temperatures due to the steady and perpetual aging process almost universally observed in temperature gauges. When a weather station temperature gauge’s white paint ..read more

North Africa seems to be greening as a result of climate change, which mostly occurs naturally. Satellite photos and studies have shown that the Sahara desert has been shrinking over the past 40 years, e.g. read here and here. The latest news is from the southeastern Moroccan desert, which is among the driest around the ..read more

The radiation budget changes shaping trends in global dimming (cooling) and global brightening (warming) are driven by cloud cover changes, which are themselves modulated by internal deep ocean processes. A new study assesses the associated factors in North Atlantic climate variations, noting how critical clouds are in modulating Earth’s Energy Imbalance (EEI). “Cloudiness is the ..read more

The CFS expects a somewhat cool and wet October across western Europe this year. Ground surface frost has already been widespread. Hat-tip Snowfan Chart: NOAA As the chart above depicts, the deviations of the 2m temperatures from the globally valid WMO climate mean 1991-2020 are expected to be around 0°C. Above-average precipitation is expected. This ..read more

Norwegian climate blog site avdekt.no here reports how the GISP2 ice core data from Greenland shows the current temperature is well below the Holocene average. Moreover, these temperatures also match perfectly with the historical sources in Norway and Europe, according to avedkt.no. The chart below shows a temperature reconstruction based on ice cores going back ..read more

Germany’s green movement was propelled mainly by activists opposed to nuclear power in the 1980s and 90s. Since then, Germany has shut down its entire fleet of nuclear power reactors and is struggling to keep the lights on with renewable energy, mainly wind and sun. Today German activists are focused on shutting down the remaining ..read more

“The heat retention in the greenhouse Earth is caused by all gas components…mainly by nitrogen and oxygen. It is not permissible to exclusively assign the GH effect of 33° to water vapour, CO2, and the other trace gases.” – Ullmann and Bülow, 2024 Chemical physicists Helmut Ullmann and Martin Bülow have published a new paper ..read more

Sun, clouds and climate – a post from an EIKE reader Image: NASA (public domain) Posted by AR Göhring In a conversation with the EIKE editorial team, our reader Garik Müller noted that recent solar storms have promoted cloud formation – which would contradict the Svensmark-Shaviv effect and the Forbush effect. But the Earth’s atmosphere ..read more

Per a new study, the last 200 years of global warming are associated with cloud cover decline, and this decreasing cloud albedo can be linked to “the dominant roles of external forces – volcanic, solar, and oceanic – in their mutual influence after the LIA [Little Ice Age].” Scientists have repeatedly reported a satellite-observed (CERES ..read more
