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…
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…
More Evidence on Vapor Pressure Deficit, Cloud Reduction, and Climate Change
CO2 and VPD are confounded. To understand and manage climate change science needs to find out which one is in charge. Man knew about CO2 and its greenhouse properties before…
Could Grok-Review Replace Peer-Review?
This article introduces the idea that instead of (or as well as) peer-review, scientific papers could be reviewed by Grok, Elon Musk’s AI product. Well, maybe that’s not a new…
Soundings, Weather Balloons, and Vapor Pressure Deficit
The high VPD air mixes with passing air in the lower cloud zone (cumulus clouds altitude) and retards cloud formation somewhere.
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.
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.
New Research Finds that Solar Eclipses are Harder to See Due to Global Warming
The inability to see total eclipses is one of the lesser-known impacts of global warming, but it is areal loss for astronomers and the rest of us.
The Continuing Albedo Change Warms the Earth More Than Twice as Much as CO2
All life on Earth (somehow) originates from the Sun’s heat. But how much of the solar irradiation reaches us Earthlings?
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…
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.
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…
Claim: Climate Change Is Closing Daily Temperature Gap, Clouds Could Be the Cause
The diurnal temperature range has a significant effect on growing seasons, crop yields, residential energy consumption and human health issues related to heat stress.
An Interview with Top Climate Scientist Bjorn Stevens
We should keep looking, but so far there’s no evidence that clouds play a major role.
Updated Climate Models Clouded by Scientific Biases, Researchers Find
After all, the ultimate goal of any model evaluation study is to help improve those models.”
Ocean Atmosphere Response to Solar EMR at Top of the Atmosphere
How can climate models hope to reflect the real world when clouds are parameterised with no sensitivity to surface temperature?
