The thermal responses of different regions are analysed as a means to understand why spatial and temporal changes in ToA solar EMR drive temperature trends.

When Satellites Refute the Climate Crisis Narratives, Trust the Science!
If the climate crisis narrative is true, more CO2 would trap more OLR, so less OLR escaping to space should be detected.
Outside the Black Box: Back to Basics
This cannot be a coincidence and clearly shows that the CERES data do not support the outcomes of GCM calculations:
Another Energy Imbalance Paper.
He studied energy changes from the atmosphere, ocean, land, and ice as climate system components from 2000 to 2019 and compared this to the radiation at the top of the…
Keeping Things In Balance
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Let me start with the standard explanation of why the earth warms when greenhouse gases (“GHGs”, e.g. water vapor, CO2, methane, etc.) increase. This is…
New NASA Study Claim: Earth has been trapping heat at an alarming new rate
What bothers me is the alarmist language attached to (1) such a tiny number, and (2) the likelihood that no one will bother to mention the authors attribute part of…
Claim: Direct Observations Confirm that Humans are Throwing Earth’s Energy Budget off Balance
The new technique is computationally faster than previous model-based methods, allowing researchers to monitor radiative forcing in almost real time. The method could be used to track how human emissions…
Why Haven’t the Tropics Warmed Much? A Tantalizing Piece of Evidence
From Dr. Roy Spencer’s Blog September 28th, 2019 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D. The radiative resistance to global temperature change is what limits the temperature change in response to…
An Analysis of the Earth’s Energy Budget
Guest post by Philip Mulholland 1. Introduction. The following two figures, showing the principal features of the Earth’s Energy Budget, were published in 1997 by the Oklahoma Climatological Survey (OK-First)…
Calibrating the CERES Image of the Earth’s Radiant Emission to Space
By Philip Mulholland 1. Introduction. The following image shows the Earth’s outgoing longwave radiation recorded by the CERES (Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System) Instrument onboard the NASA Aqua…
Climate Models are NOT Simulating Earth’s Climate – Part 4
Guest Post by Bob Tisdale Alternate Title: Climate Models Undermine the Hypothesis of Human-Induced Global Warming According to the hypothesis of human-induced global warming, manmade greenhouse gases create an energy…
Marginal Parasitic Loss Rates
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach There is a more global restatement of Murphy’s Law which says “Nature always sides with the hidden flaw”. Parasitic losses are an example of that…
Three Clocks
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach I got to wandering through the three main datasets that make up the overall CERES data, and I noticed an odd thing. The three main…
Upwelling Solar, Upwelling Longwave
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach The CERES dataset contains three main parts—downwelling solar radiation, upwelling solar radiation, and upwelling longwave radiation. With the exception of leap-year variations, the solar dataset…
On The Stability and Symmetry Of The Climate System
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach The CERES data has its problems, because the three datasets (incoming solar, outgoing longwave, and reflected shortwave) don’t add up to anything near zero. So…
Cancelling the Tropical Cancellation
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach There’s a much-cited paper (129 citations) from 1994 called “On the Observed Near Cancellation between Longwave and Shortwave Cloud Forcing in Tropical Regions” by J. T. Kiehl…
The Magnificent Climate Heat Engine
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach I’ve been reflecting over the last few days about how the climate system of the earth functions as a giant natural heat engine. A “heat…
Video: Comments on Human-Induced Global Warming – Episode 1 – The Hiroshima Bomb Metric
With much fanfare from the faithful (a grand total of 15 comments as of this writing), SkepticalScience recently released their 4-Hiroshima-Bombs-per-second widget. Their claimed intent is to “raise the awareness…
