And if my aunt had…..~ctm From Eurekalert Public Release: 1-Dec-2018 New study findings also suggest a variety of industries in the Northeast could be negatively affected by warming trends, including maple syrup, timber and snow sports Advanced Science Research Center, GC/CUNY NEW YORK, December 1, 2018 – Researchers conducting a 5-year-long study examining snow cover…
Last week, Larry Kummer posted a very thoughtful article here on WUWT: A climate science milestone: a successful 10-year forecast! At first glance, this did look like “a successful 10-year forecast: The observations track closer to the model ensemble mean (P50) than most other models and the 2016 El Niño spikes at least a little bit…
From The GWPF Date: 12/09/17 |Lindsay Fortado, Financial Times One of Europe’s largest hedge funds is looking to move into the gambling industry in the UK, as it sets up a new venue where players can bet on the effects of climate change. The project is hoping to tempt climate scientists to put their money…
By David Middleton OPINION A climate roadmap for President Trump by Patrick Michaels | Jul 14, 2017 This week, President Trump is likely getting an earful in Paris over his extrication of the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement earlier this year. But our withdrawal will be meaningless unless he follows up with two important…
From Eurekalert, New framework accounts for conflicting estimates of global temperature increases Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences AUDIO: SEAS researchers Peter Huybers and Cristian Proistosescu resolved a major conflict in estimates of how much the Earth will warm in response to a doubling of carbon dioxide in the… view…
by Rud Istvan, EPA administrator Pruitt wants to “Red Team” the catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW) consensus best reflected in the IPCC assessment reports (AR). At its core, CAGW rests on just three propositions: 1. CO2 is a ‘greenhouse’ gas retarding radiative cooling. This should not be in serious dispute since Tyndall experimentally proved…
…A Reminder of How Horribly Climate Models Simulate the Surface Temperatures of Earth’s Oceans. Guest Post by Bob Tisdale This post serves as the annual model-data comparison for sea surface temperatures. INTRODUCTION Oceans cover about 70% of the surface of the Earth, yet climate models are far from properly simulating the surface temperatures of those…
From San Diego State University and the “say anything to support the cause” department, comes this press release written by a fellow who obviously does not understand what it means when researchers say: “[methane and carbon dioxide release] is highest in the Arctic during the region’s cold season“. Maybe now those alarmists like Paul Beckwith and…
Guest essay by Clyde Spencer The total reflectivity of Earth is important in energy budget calculations and in Global Circulation Models used to predict climate. If the value used is too low, it will contribute to models predicting more warming than is correct. I’ll demonstrate below why measured albedo is in fact too low as…
And Those Too-Cool Surface Temperatures Create Obvious Problems for Researchers Guest Post by Bob Tisdale UPDATE: The closing has been revised. The sea surface temperatures of the tropical North Atlantic are one of many factors that contribute to the development and maintenance of hurricanes. In fact, 26 deg C (about 79 deg F) is the…
