ARCTIC SUMMER SNOWSTORM By Joseph D’Aleo CCM Remember a year ago when few days of July ‘warmth’ with strong blocking over Greenland had the media abuzz over some melting? Last…

Dueling press releases on ice melt – one says 'uncertainty is large' the other quantifies a number
Once again, it looks like claims of ‘consensus’ are overblown. In our previous news item we have this: …ice sheets are the largest potential source of future sea level rise…
New study: Antarctic and Greenland ice sheet melt may be natural event, no consensus on cause
Ice sheets are the largest potential source of future sea level rise – and they also possess the largest uncertainty over their future behaviour From the University of Bristol Continuous…
Great News from Greenland
Guest essay by Dr. Patrick J. Michaels I recently returned from a trip to Greenland’s Jokabshavn Glacier, which discharges more ice than any other in the Northern Hemisphere. Our route…
How “Science” Counts Bears
Guest essay by Jim Steele, director emeritus, San Francisco State University The Inuit claim “it is the time of the most polar bears.” By synthesizing their community’s observations they have…
New study using GRACE data shows global sea levels rising less than 7 inches per century
Finds sea levels have risen over the past 9 years [2002-2011] at a rate of only 1.7 mm/yr, equivalent to 6.7 inches per century, matching tide gauge data rates. The…
NOAA exaggerates 2012 Greenland Ice Mass Loss by 10x
[UPDATE: Several commenters, including myself, have remarked on a mathematical error in the author’s work. I note this here in the expectation that the author will return to clarify and…
Remember that 'unprecedented' Greenland ice sheet surface melt that was allegedly caused by global warming? Never mind
We covered this extensively at WUWT last summer, including the “unprecedented claim” where a researcher said it was a recurring 150 year event that was ‘right on time‘. It turns…
Multiple, Intense, Abrupt Late Pleistocene Warming And Cooling: Implications For Understanding The Cause Of Global Climate Change
Guest essay by Dr. Don J. Easterbrook Dept. of Geology, Western Washington University, Bellingham, WA The results of oxygen isotope measurements from ice cores in the Greenland and Antarctic ice…
Hansen falsified: His extreme sea level rise projections are drowning in hubris
After yesterday’s tongue-in-cheek mention of Obama’s healing the planet (and sea level rise with it) here’s the real lowdown on the current knowledge. It seems that all the science that…
Good news: World’s biggest ice sheets likely more stable than previously believed – upsets previous estimates of melting and sea level
Researchers show that high ancient shorelines do not necessarily reflect ice sheet collapse millions of years ago From the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research: For decades, scientists have used ancient…
Global warming whacks Earth's poles – is there anything it can't do?
Reader View from the Solent writes: Global warming shifts the Earth’s poles. North Pole heads for Greenland “Global warming is changing the location of Earth’s geographic poles, according to a…
The beginning of the end: warmists in retreat on sea level rise, climate sensitivity
The forecast: It seems there’s less chance of gloom and doom these days. For sea level rise, now a maximum of about two feet by 2100. As for climate sensitivity,…
The Stokes-Kaufman contamination protocol – a 'sticky' wicket
Over at Climate Audit, Steve McIntyre has found yet another unexplainable inclusion of a hockey stick shaped proxy in the PAGES2K paper. What is most interesting about it is that…
Uncertainty be damned, let's make ice and sea level projections anyway
‘A better path’ toward projecting, planning for rising seas on a warmer Earth From Princeton University, by Morgan Kelly, Office of Communications More useful projections of sea level are possible…
Validity of Marcott et al. PART II
Validity of Marcott et al. contention that “Global temperatures are warmer than at any time in at least 4,000 years” and “Global temperature….. has risen from near the coldest to…
Marcott et al claim of 'unprecedented' warming compared to GISP ice core data
The very first sentence of the Marcott et al (which is getting heavy press) abstract says: Surface temperature reconstructions of the past 1500 years suggest that recent warming is unprecedented…
Modeling sea level rise is an 'uneven' proposition
From the British Antarctic Survey New projections of ‘uneven’ global sea-level rise Reporting in the journal Geophysical Research Letters researchers have looked ahead to the year 2100 to show how…
Chris Mooney's Chartsmanship in the Service of Alarmism
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach I came across this beautiful example of chartsmanship today in a Chris Mooney post of raw, pure, visceral alarmism, it’s a gem. It’s from the…
First complete ice core record of last interglacial period shows the climate of Greenland to be significantly warmer than today
Study: ‘ Greenland ice sheet is not as sensitive to temperature increases and to ice melting and running out to sea in warm climate periods ‘. From the University of…
