Study: Glaciers defied hotter temperatures 9000 years ago
From BYU News Ice, when heated, is supposed to melt. That’s why a collection of glaciers in the Southeast Himalayas stymies those who know what they did 9,000 years ago.…
NCAR spots the "transistor effect" – Small solar activity fluctuations amplify to larger climate influences
Some months back, I mentioned that I felt the sun-earth connection was much like a transistor. This new NCAR study suggests this may be the case where small solar variances…

Warming could cause tilt in Earth's axis
As if we didn’t already have enough to worry about…. Earth’s axial tilt (or obliquity) and its relation to the rotation axis and plane of orbit. Image from Wikipedia. Excerpts…
Impacts Of Land Use – Land Cover Change On Climate
From Roger Pielke Sr. New Paper “Impacts Of Land Use Land Cover Change On Climate And Future Research Priorities” By Mahmood Et Al 2009 We have a new multi-authored paper that has…
Finding an answer to the faint sun paradox: Carbonyl Sulphide?
From a University of Copenhagen News Release First, read a primer on the Faint Sun Paradox here Normally, I wouldn’t use Wiki, but the article does include a reference to…
Ocean heat content and Earth’s radiation imbalance
This paper is to be published on-line on Friday in Physics Letters A Dr. Douglas graciously sent me an advance copy, of which I’m printing some excerpts. Douglas and Knox…
New Study Casts Doubt on Cause of Himalayan Glaciers Melting
Weather variations, not global warming cause glacier melt From the The Hindu, 9 August 2009 excerpts: New Delhi (PTI): Himalayan glaciers, including the world’s highest battlefield Siachen, are melting due…
How Sensitive is the Earth’s Climate?
Guest Post By Steve Fitzpatrick Introduction Projections of climate warming from global circulation models (GCM’s) are based on high sensitivity for the Earth’s climate to radiative forcing from well mixed…
Long debate ended over cause, demise of ice ages – solar and earth wobble – CO2 not main driver
From an Oregon State University Media Release (h/t to Leif Svalgaard) Long debate ended over cause, demise of ice ages – may also help predict future The above image shows…
NCAR: Solar cycle linked to global climate
Basil Copeland and I also found linkages between surface temperature and solar cycles in two articles we published in the last year. We were roundly criticized and ridiculed by warmists…
Message in the CLOUD for Warmists: The end is near?
You’ve probably all heard of Svensmark and the Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) to cloud cover modulation theory by now. Lot’s of warmists say it is “discredited”. However, CERN in Switzerland…
New paper – Global dimming and brightening: A review
Global dimming and brightening: A review Martin Wild Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science, ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland There is increasing evidence that the amount of solar radiation incident at…
The Thermostat Hypothesis
Guest Essay by Willis Eschenbach Abstract The Thermostat Hypothesis is that tropical clouds and thunderstorms, along with other emergent phenomena like dust devils, tornadoes, and the El Nino/La Nina alteration,…
Another scientific consensus bites the dust
It has been said that “the science is settled” regarding what we know about Earth’s atmosphere and climate. But recently scientists discovered that something we had accepted as a basic…
Gavin Schmidt's new climate picture book: Anti-Science?
Reprinted here by request from Harold Ambler – Anthony What follows is an open letter to the Salon writer Peter Dizikes, who recently published an article about a new book…
Divining images in the clouds
Everyone see things in the clouds. People, animals, Christ on the cross, UFO’s, angels, and even schizophrenically imagined chemical attacks by contrails. You name it, somebody has seen it. So…
Geothermal Ice Circles in Russia’s Lake Baikal?
In the “Steig et al – falsified” thread, since we have been discussing geothermal activity along the Antarctic peninsula, I thought I’d pass along these images that show other parts…
MIT: Global Warming of 7°C 'Could Kill Billions This Century'
By Steven Goddard Some readers may remember the 1961 film “The Day the Earth Caught Fire”. It could be viewed as the original “climate alarmist” film as it contains all…
