James Hansen's latest doomsday paper falls flat on its face, grounds his 'flying boulders'
James Hansen, formerly head of NASA GISS published a new study Tuesday March 22nd in the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, claiming global warming, sea level rise, and severe storms, could be…
Study: There is no real evidence for a diminishing trend of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
This paper was just published today in the Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science. It seems to be definitive refutation of Mann and Rahmstorf’s claims, and quells the alarm bells that…
Yet another prediction of doom over Greenland ice melt and the AMOC that we can ignore
From the “fresh melt water will disrupt the planet” department, except that this ongoing alarm has already been debunked by NASA, see: NASA refutes Mann and Rahmstorf – Finds Atlantic ‘Conveyor…
New Paper Confirms the Drivers of and Processes behind the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation
Guest Post by Bob Tisdale The new paper by McCarthy et al. (2015) Ocean impact on decadal Atlantic climate variability revealed by sea-level observations has gained some attention around the…
AMO fingered in newly discovered 200 year bipolar disorder lag
From Oregon State University and the department of “we fully understand Earth’s climate, we just need more funds” department comes this bit of a surprise. (h/t to Dr. Leif Svalgaard)…
Oh noes! Fishy modeling study says 'Fish and Chips' to disappear in the UK
I get this daily newsletter from a paid political pot stirrer called “Climate Nexus”, which is actually a Madison Avenue PR firm. They write today of a new paper, Rutterford…
NASA refutes Mann and Rahmstorf – Finds Atlantic 'Conveyor Belt' Not Slowing
From the “we told you so yesterday” and the “settled science” department. This study was released in 2010, and they used actual measurements, rather than proxy data and reconstructions like…
Michael Mann and Stefan Rahmstorf claim the Gulf Stream is slowing due to Greenland ice melt, except reality says otherwise
UPDATED – see below From your “Day after Tomorrow” department (where a slowing Gulf Stream turned NYC into an icebox) comes this claim from the bowels of Mannian Science. Unfortunately,…
An Unexpected Admission from Dana Nuccitelli at SkepticalScience
Guest Post by Bob Tisdale In Dana Nuccitelli’s recent post at SkepticalScience Matt Ridley wants to gamble the Earth’s future because he won’t learn from the past, he has finally…
New Study Predicts a Slight Cooling of North Atlantic Sea Surface Temperatures over the Next Decade
Guest Post by Bob Tisdale Pierre Gosselin at NoTrickZone provided an introduction to a recently published paper in his post IPCC Scientist Mojib Latif Sees North Atlantic Cooling Over Next…
Arctic Ice and the AMO
By Paul Homewood David Rose’s piece in the Mail on Sunday has already been picked by WUWT and Bishop Hill, amongst others. But I want to concentrate on one…
Will the Next El Niño Bring an End to the Slowdown in Global Surface Warming?
Rebuttal to Chen and Tung (2014) highlighted in “Cause for ‘The Pause’ #38 – Cause of global warming hiatus found deep in the Atlantic Ocean” Numerous scientific papers have reported…
And this excuse makes 30. Dueling press releases on 'the pause', blaming Pacific Trade Winds on 'Atlantic warming'
Previously, we had 29 excuses for “the pause” now we have 30. When a paper is published by multiple authors, the universities of those authors often produce separate press releases…
New paper: The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation as a dominant factor of oceanic influence on climate
Just two explanatory variables (GHG and AMO) still account for 93% of the temperature variance. Dr. Leif Svalgaard sends word of this article in Geophysical Research letters by Petr Chylek,…
AMO, NAO, and Correlation
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach There’s a new paper over at IOP called “Forcing of the wintertime atmospheric circulation by the multidecadal fluctuations of the North Atlantic ocean”, by Y Peings…
Maybe the IPCC’s Modelers Should Try to Simulate Earth’s Oceans
UPDATE (April 6, 2014): I’ve added a link to a follow-up post about the cause of the observed C-shaped warming pattern in the Pacific. # # # The climate models…
On Chylek et al (2014) – The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation as a Dominant Factor of Oceanic Influence on Climate
I was advised of a recent paper that studies the impact of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation on global surface temperatures since 1900. (Thanks, Anthony.) The paper is Chylek et al.…
It Isn’t How Climate Scientists Communicated their Message; It’s the Message
Over the past few months, there have been a number of articles about how the climate science community could have presented their message differently, or responded differently, so that they…
Claim: Analysis indicates that North and tropical Atlantic warming affects Antarctic climate
It seems the ocean cycles get a bigger role than GHG’s in this study. Plus Antarctic models are still FUBAR: The gradual warming of the North and tropical Atlantic Ocean…
