Sun produces four X-class flares in two days
Above: note the four separate events in the last two days – from the WUWT Solar Page (From NASA’s Spaceweather.com) When the week began, the sun hadn’t unleashed an X-flare…
More 'ice free Arctic' claims – we've heard it all before
From the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, something we’ve heard before. For example this claim from 2008. Gotta love the use of props to show how climate tipping points work:…
Benchmarking IPCC's warming predictions
By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley The IPCC’s forthcoming Fifth Assessment Report continues to suggest that the Earth will warm rapidly in the 21st century. How far are its projections short…
The Tragedy of Climatism: Resource Misuse on a Global Scale
By Steve Goreham Originally published in The Washington Times. Last week, thirteen members of the House of Representatives introduced a resolution “recognizing the disparate impact of climate change on women.”…
On the scales of warming worry magnitudes–part 1
A few weeks after my paper came out I have received quite unexpected but greatly appreciated offer from Anthony to write a summary of the paper for his blog site.…
A Big Picture Look At “Earth’s Temperature” – "The Pause" Update

On Guemas et al (2013) “Retrospective prediction of the global warming slowdown in the past decade”
I received a number of emails about the newly published Guemas et al (2013) paper titled “Retrospective prediction of the global warming slowdown in the past decade”. It’s paywalled. The…
Asteroid likely caused global fires, which led to extinctions
From the AGU: Global fires after the asteroid impact probably caused the K-Pg extinction About 66 million years ago a mountain-sized asteroid hit what is now the Yucatan in Mexico…
Fact check for Andrew Glikson – Ocean heat has paused too
Over at The Conversation Andrew Glikson asks Fact check: has global warming paused? citing an old Skeptical Science favorite graph, and that’s the problem; it’s old data. He writes: As some…
Another geoengineering idea – gaming coalition modeled
From the Carnegie Institution comes a nutty consensus type idea, modeled in game-theory, implemented by an equally nutty future coalition. Law of unintended consequences anyone? Geoengineering by coalition Washington, D.C.—Solar…
Modeling sea level rise is an 'uneven' proposition
From the British Antarctic Survey New projections of ‘uneven’ global sea-level rise Reporting in the journal Geophysical Research Letters researchers have looked ahead to the year 2100 to show how…
A problem that is bigger than global warming
In light of what happened yesterday, this story is even more relevant now. It was written before the meteor event in Russia. Asteroid 2012 DA14 makes its closest approach at…

Yet another study shows lower climate sensitivity
Global warming less extreme than feared? Policymakers are attempting to contain global warming at less than 2°C. New estimates from a Norwegian project on climate calculations indicate this target may…
Hilarious climate science fail by the warmists at GRIST (and now CNN)
Jeez, there’s no excuse for this spectacular failure to understand one of most basic principles about the Earth’s weather and climate. From: How to respond to people who say the…
Berkeley Earth finally makes peer review – in a never before seen journal
