Reply to erroneous claims by RealClimate.org on our research into the Sun’s role in climate change

Dr. Schmidt and the RealClimate team apparently do not want you to read our papers. They seem to be afraid that if you did, their claims on climate change would…

Global Societal Crises of the 17th Century: Perspectives from Research on Sun-Earth Relations

Willie Soon, PhD presents at the 41st Annual Meeting of Doctors for Disaster Preparedness, July 8, 2023.

The Great Snow Cover Debate: Are We Seeing More Snow or Less?

We find the models got it wrong for all four seasons.

More on Cloud Reduction.  CO2 is innocent but Clouds are guilty.

Statistical uncertainty in the CERES and Cloud data seem to retard acceptance of alternative GW theories.

Outside the Black Box: Back to Basics

This cannot be a coincidence and clearly shows that the CERES data do not support the outcomes of GCM calculations:

Outside the Black Box: Back to Basics

For the anthropogenic part it’s pretty clear: with a growth to a maximum CO2-level of 560 ppm, even under a realistic ‘business as usual’ scenario [11], there is certainly no…

“Looking at the Sun” – Climate Discussion Nexus interviews CERES co-team leader, Dr. Ronan Connolly

CDN have now published their 20 minute “explainer” video including extracts from this interview and discussion of some of CERES’ recent scientific research.

WUWT Contest Runner Up, Professional: NASA Knew Better #NASA_Knew

The minor incremental static warming effect from slowly increasing concentrations of GHGs is readily overwhelmed by the performance of the heat engine. 

Where have all the Clouds gone and why care?

By Charles Blaisdell PhD ChE The earth’s cloud cover has long been an important puzzle in climate change.  Cloud cover has many types and varies significantly from year to year. …

New NASA Study Claim: Earth has been trapping heat at an alarming new rate

What bothers me is the alarmist language attached to (1) such a tiny number, and (2) the likelihood that no one will bother to mention the authors attribute part of…

Scientists use AI to predict sunspot cycles

For the first time, scientists have used artificial intelligence not only to predict sunspots but also to correct the incomplete record of past sunspot activity.

Study Proposes Orbital Ceres Colony

Guest essay by Eric Worrall Ceres, once considered an Asteroid but now classified as a dwarf planet orbiting between Mars and Jupiter, may harbour a significant under surface liquid water…

500 Years of Global SST Variations from a 1D Forcing-Feedback Model

If nothing else, the results in Fig. 3 might give us some idea of the ENSO-related SST variations for 300-400 years before anthropogenic forcings became significant, and how those variations…

NASA Selects New Instrument to Continue Key Climate Record

From NASA Feb. 26, 2020 RELEASE 20-020 NASA Selects New Instrument to Continue Key Climate Record Earth’s outgoing longwave, or heat, radiation shown here as the average from 2000 to…

AI could deceive us as much as the human eye does in the search for extraterrestrials

FECYT – Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology An artificial neural network has identified a square structure within a triangular one in a crater on the dwarf planet Ceres, with…

Climate sensitivity in light of the latest energy imbalance evidence

Reposted from Dr. Judith Curry’s Climate Etc. Posted on January 10, 2020 by curryja | by Frank Bosse Equilibrium climate sensitivity computed from the latest energy imbalance data. The Earth…

A Third Look at Radiation versus Temperature

Guest post by KEVIN KILTY Introduction In a post on June 8, 2019, Willis Eschenbach showed an interesting plot of monthly average surface temperature against total irradiance absorbed at the…

Calibrating the CERES Image of the Earth’s Radiant Emission to Space

By Philip Mulholland 1. Introduction. The following image shows the Earth’s outgoing longwave radiation recorded by the CERES (Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System) Instrument onboard the NASA Aqua…

Northern Hemisphere snow cover trends (1967-2018): A comparison between climate models and observations

According to the climate models, snow cover should have steadily decreased for all four seasons. However, the observations show that only spring and summer demonstrates a long-term decrease. Ronan Connolly,…

The Size of Icy Reflections

Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach In my continuing wanderings through the regions cryospherical, I find more side roads than main highways. In my last two posts here and here, I discussed the…

What's Hot, What's Not

Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach I got to thinking about the idea of a temperature field. By that I mean nothing more than an estimation of theoretical temperatures given some…

Weather Two Months From Now

Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach A while back, folks noticed that a couple of months after the El Nino kicked in across the Pacific, the earth would warm up a…

Tropical Evaporative Cooling

Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach I’ve been looking again into the satellite rainfall measurements from the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM). I discussed my first look at this rainfall data…

Cooling and Warming, Clouds and Thunderstorms

Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Following up on a suggestion made to me by one of my long-time scientific heroes, Dr. Fred Singer, I’ve been looking at the rainfall dataset…
