Earth’s atmosphere over tropical oceans can be viewed as a finally tuned engine reaching peak performance, in terms of heat uptake when SST is at 303K. Convective instability is similar…

BOMBSHELL: Study Reveals Climate Warming Driven by Receding Cloud Cover
If climate science were a functioning scientific discipline rather than a priesthood, this paper would trigger a major course correction. It would cast doubt on the simplistic link between CO₂…
Radiation and Matter
Undoubtedly clouds act to lower Earth temperature from what it would be under a cloudless planet – an obvious negative feedback in this sense. However, from the standpoint of orthodox…
James Hansen: Climate Cassandra or Science Salesman?
Hansen’s argument structure is fundamentally circular: he assumes a high-sensitivity system, interprets ambiguous data to reinforce that view, and then treats the match as confirmation. That’s not how robust hypothesis…
Underestimating Clouds: A Climate Mistake We Cannot Afford
The time has come to reassess our approach to both climate science and energy policy. The stakes are too high to continue down a path of destructive policies based on…
Climate Models, Clouds, OLR, and ECS
By Andy May The IPCC and the climate “consensus” believe that essentially all warming since 1750 is due to man’s emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases as shown in…
How Clouds Affect The Seasons
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach (@weschenbach on eX-Twitter) I love science because of the surprises. Today I had several. My first surprise today was evidence of strong negative feedback in…
VPD, Vapor Pressure Deficit a Correlation to Global Cloud Fraction?
This paper will explore the relationship between global VPD and global Cloud Fraction (Cover), CC.
New Paper from Henrik Svensmark on Supersaturation and Cloud Condensation Nuclei
By revealing higher-than-expected supersaturation levels and the activation of smaller CCN, this research challenges what we thought we knew and opens new doors for understanding Earth’s atmosphere.

Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach If aliens in spaceships saw our world, they wouldn’t name it “Earth”. They’d name it “Water” because that’s what makes up more than 70% of…
Global Temperatures and Reduced Cloud Cover
We can debate the reasons for less cloud cover, but generally speaking less cloud/more sunshine leads to higher temperatures.
Cloudy With A Chance Of Stability
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach I got to thinking about the clouds again. They’re easily the least understood part of the climate. So let me start with what we do…
An Unexplored Source of Climate Change: Land Evapotranspiration Changes Over Time.
This Model was created to encourage scientist to collect the information necessary to determine the Earth’s ET change over time, the area of “special parcels” and plume size. This Model…
The Myth of “Settled” Climate Science: A Revelatory Study on Cloud Formation
Trees, Clouds, and the Unsettling Truth about Climate Science In a recent revelation from the international CLOUD project at the nuclear research center CERN, researchers have identified sesquiterpenes—gaseous hydrocarbons released…
Observational and theoretical evidence that cloud feedback decreases global warming
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Well, I decided to take a shot at publishing my views on the cloud feedback response to increases in surface warming. I wrote it up…
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.
Think We Can Model the Climate? Clouds Get in the Way!
IPCC forecasters overstate warming because they still somehow really don’t understand clouds at all.
Why do Earth’s hemispheres look equally bright when viewed from space?
For years, the brightness symmetry between hemispheres remained a mystery.
Claim: Clouds Less Climate-Sensitive than Assumed
Whether clouds have a cooling or warming effect depends on how high they are. With a maximum altitude of two to three kilometers, the trade-wind clouds examined here are comparatively…
CO2 is Innocent but Clouds are Guilty. New Science has Created a “Black Swan Event”**
The modelers of the 1990’s where on the right track – if clouds change the results would be as strong as the that expected from CO2. The IPCC should evaluate…
