From the American Chemical Society, a robust model of planes trains and automobiles heating the Earth. So much for Fahrvergnügen. Traveling by car increases global temperatures more than by plane,…

Climate Model Deception – See It for Yourself
Guest post by Robert E. Levine, PhD The two principal claims of climate alarmism are human attribution, which is the assertion that human-caused emissions of carbon dioxide are warming the…
NASA GISS in Science Express: CO2, Climate's Main "Control Knob"
From the press package: The findings confirm that carbon dioxide is the most potent greenhouse “control knob” This seems like a last ditch effort (in the face of falling public…
Modeling Pakistan's flooding
But read on to the end to find out what US government agency is doing the research. Your tax dollars at work. Caption: Residents flee the rising floodwaters in Pakistan.…
And the Lord said: "Go forth and model Moses"
I guess with Climate change enlightenment was fun while it lasted. But now it’s dead (George Monbiot) there’s not much for those modelers and supercomputers at NCAR to do. So…
Does CO₂ heat the troposphere ?
Guest Post by Tom Vonk In a recent post I considered the question in the title. You may see it here : http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/08/05/co2-heats-the-atmosphere-a-counter-view/ The post generated great deal of interest…
Be a closet climate modeler with Climate@home
First there was SETI@home where you could use spare CPU cycles to look for extraterrestrial signals. Now we have Climate@Home, running NASA GISS modeling software in distributed computing, but no…
Is Jim Hansen's Global Temperature Skillful?
Guest Post By John R. Christy of the University of Alabama at Huntsville via Dr. Roger Pielke Sr’s blog: Climate Science The three warm-color time series are taken from Hansen’s…
New carbon dioxide emissions model: "carbon dioxide emissions must be reduced to around zero by the end of the century"
Via press release from the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science New carbon dioxide emissions model Meteorologists have determined exactly how much carbon dioxide humans can emit into…
GISS Arctic -vs- DMI Arctic: differences in method
We’ve all seen this graph below of Arctic Temperature above 80°N from DMI. But, there’s something surprising about how it is created. In this guest post by Harold Ambler, he…
GISS Polar Interpolation
By Steve Goddard There has been an active discussion going on about the validity of GISS interpolations. This post compares GISS Arctic interpolation vs. DMI measured/modeled data. All data uses…
"Unaccounted feedbacks": to B or not to B
University of Helsinki via Eurekalert Unaccounted feedbacks from climate-induced ecosystem changes may increase future climate warming The terrestrial biosphere regulates atmospheric composition, and hence climate. Projections of future climate changes…
Modeling the big toasty
Just in time for summer heat waves in the USA, worrisome model outputs from Stanford with the all important could qualifier. No mention of UHI, asphalt, or heat waves of…
CO2 field experiment likely to cause "do-over" for climate models
I have two press releases here, one via EurekAlert, and one from Max Planck. Plus at the end a summary of points via WUWT regular Pierre Gosselin. First, a key…
Weather vs. Climate
By Steven Goddard I recently had the opportunity to attend a meeting of some top weather modelers. Weather models differ from climate models in that they have to work and…
A study: The temperature rise has caused the CO2 Increase, not the other way around
Guest post by Lon Hocker Abstract Differentiating the CO2 measurements over the last thirty years produces a pattern that matches the temperature anomaly measured by satellites in extreme detail. That…
Minority report: 50 year warming due to natural causes
Warming in Last 50 Years Predicted by Natural Climate Cycles by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D. One of the main conclusions of the 2007 IPCC report was that the warming…
New Scafetta paper – his celestial model outperforms GISS
Dr. Nicola Scafetta writes: Anthony, I believe that you may be interested in my last published work. This paper suggests that climate is characterized by oscillations that are predictable.…
Study concludes: "major hurricane could devastate the Houston/Galveston region"
A major hurricane could devastate the Houston/Galveston region? Whooda thunk? Thank goodness they consulted the all knowing supercomputer model to figure this fact out: “it could easily have caused $100…
