Yet another study shows lower climate sensitivity
Global warming less extreme than feared? Policymakers are attempting to contain global warming at less than 2°C. New estimates from a Norwegian project on climate calculations indicate this target may…
Hilarious climate science fail by the warmists at GRIST (and now CNN)
Jeez, there’s no excuse for this spectacular failure to understand one of most basic principles about the Earth’s weather and climate. From: How to respond to people who say the…
Berkeley Earth finally makes peer review – in a never before seen journal
After almost two years and some false starts, BEST now has one paper that has finally passed peer review. The text below is from the email release sent late Saturday.…
Hansen and Karl to put on a "worse than we thought" event
From a press release, apparently the writer has no clue that the NASA GISS data is a derivative of the NOAA data, and thus the claim of “NASA and NOAA…
A problem: nearly one third of CO2 emissions occured since 1998, and it hasn't warmed
Guest post by Tom Fuller The physics behind the theory of global warming are solid. CO2 is a greenhouse gas, we’re emitting industrial levels of it, with China now in…
On certainty: Truth is the Daughter of Time
This comment from Dr. Robert Brown at Duke University is elevated from a comment to a full post for further discussion. Since we have a new paper (Shepherd et al)…
Science spin of the worst kind: National Geographic's 'When The Earth Stops Spinning'
Yet another reason why I no longer subscribe to National Geographic Turned on my TV today, and this popped up, so of course I had to write about it. This…
That CO2 is powerful stuff, now causes satellites to be threatened in orbit due to lingering space debris
From the “CO2 is there anything it can’t do department” comes this ridiculous piece of research making the rounds in the MSM that worries about something that has not been…
A Big Picture Look At “Earth’s Temperature” – "Extreme Weather" Update
By WUWT regular “Just The Facts” Recently there have been increased efforts to link “Climate Change” and “Extreme Weather” e.g., NOAA links extreme weather to climate change CBS – July…
Earth on a bad acid trip?
Don’t laugh, that’s what the Geological Society of America is pushing these days to describe the “ocean acidification problem”…from their press release: Earth on Acid: The Present & Future of…
Earth's great oxidation event
From the University of California – Riverside Oxygen’s ups and downs in the early atmosphere and ocean UC Riverside-led research team finds evidence for a dramatic rise in early oxygen…
A simple resolution to the 'faint young sun' paradox?
A faster rotating early-Earth may have compensated for reduced Sun output Guest post submitted by Ian Schumacher The ‘faint young sun’ paradox states that according to star models, billions of…
Mars's dramatic climate variations are driven by the Sun
From the University of Copenhagen – something interesting, but not really surprising. It does make me wonder though about dust and carbon soot related to Earth’s own polar ice cap.…
Climate change – off in the ozone
From the Harvard University news service and the what are they smoking department, comes this suggestion that apparently it never was ozone damaging CFC refrigerants at all, it was those…
Fools’ Gold Found to Regulate Global Oxygen
The sulfur-based chemistry of iron pyrite may play a major role in atmospheric oxygen concentrations From The Weizmann Institute of Environmental Science: As sulfur cycles through Earth’s atmosphere, oceans and…
Some thoughts on radiative transfer and GHG's
Guest post by Reed Coray The following example illustrates the issues I have with reasoning often used to argue that increasing the amount of CO2 in the Earth’s atmosphere will…
About that overwhelming 97-98% number of scientists that say there is a climate consensus…
Larry Bell writes in his weekly Forbes column about that oft repeated but less than truthy “98% of all scientists” statistic. Supposedly, this was such an easy and quick to…
A Big Picture Look At “Earth’s Temperature” – 2nd Quarter, 2012 – "What Global Warming Looks Like" Update
By WUWT regular “Just The Facts” In the US we are currently being bombarded with claims that “this summer is ‘what global warming looks like’” from the Associated Press and…
Taxing Termites, Wetlands, Volcanoes and Sacred Cows?
