From the “decades late and a dollar short” department comes the peer-reviewed exercise in the obvious. Of course, UEA was always a little bit slow. If they weren’t, we’d never…

MET OFFICE SHOCK: UK Temperature Network Goes From Bad to Even Worse in Just 18 Months
Over the 18 months, it appears that 20 new sites have been opened ,,,64.7% are starting life in the Class 4/5 junk lane.
The Hottest Summer Days in D.C. Have Not Gotten Hotter in Last 40 Years
From Dr. Roy Spencer’s Global Warming Blog by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D. …but the coolest summer nights have warmed by 5 deg. F. John Christy and I continue to…
New Study: A City’s Industry Center, Airport Up To 12°C Warmer Than Nearby Forests, Vegetation
“In contrast, cold spots characterized by dense vegetation showed a notable cooling effect, with LST differences reaching −3.7 °C. Similarly, proximity to water bodies contributed to temperature mitigation, as areas…
Sustainability Magazine’s Heat Wave Hype: Grid Struggles Stem from Policy, Not Climate
Blackouts during heat waves are dangerous, but blaming such failures on climate change instead of on poorly managed energy policies and fragile grids dominated by weather-dependent renewables is a complete…
Live at 1 p.m. Eastern: SHOCK CLIMATE REPORT! Urban Heat Islands Responsible for 65% of Global Warming
A new study from the University of Alabama in Huntsville addresses the question of how much the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is responsible for the higher temperatures at weather…
Dr. Roy Spencer: Our Urban Heat Island Paper Has Been Published
To quickly summarize, we used the average temperature differences between nearby GHCN stations and related those to population density (PD) differences between stations. Why population density? Well, PD datasets are…
The Graph That Lied
The graph they built on a lie. The iconic ‘climate’ graph that’s undermining industrial capitalism and taking our freedom…and it’s 100 percent garbage.
False, Axios, Atlanta’s Rainfall Increase Isn’t Attributable to Climate Change
Climate Central continues to push a simplistic narrative that ignores fundamental atmospheric physics, misuses regional data, and omits well-established meteorological processes like UHI and aerosol-induced rainfall. Until outlets like Axios…
Gosh, Really? NASA data reveals role of green spaces in cooling cities
Cities in the Global South tend to have less green space than cities in the Global North. This mirrors studies of the disparities within cities, sometimes referred to as the…
Millions of Pounds of Cold Weather Benefits Could be Lost Due to Unreliable Met Office Data
Some of the poorest and most vulnerable members of society are losing out on millions of pounds worth of cold weather payments in England and Wales due to official reliance…
Urban Legends of Climate Change: Palm Springs, California
This is the first of what will likely be a series of posts regarding urban heat island (UHI) effects in daily record high temperatures. My previous UHI work has been…
A Demonstration: Low Correlations Do Not Necessarily Lead to Low Confidence in Data Regressions
But the main point of this post is to demonstrate that low correlations between two dataset variables do not necessarily mean low confidence in regression slopes (and intercepts). The confidence…
Urban Heat Island Effects Have Not Yet Been Removed from Official GHCN Warming Trends
These results suggest there is now additional reason to distrust the official temperature trends reported for U.S. weather stations. They are, on average, too warm. By how much? That remains…
NOAA’s U.S. Temperature Data Demonstrate that Population Growth UHIs & Measurement Inadequacies Drive Tavg Increasing Outcomes – Not Climate Change
As indicted by the temperature measurement graphs and studies noted above NOAA’s contiguous U.S. calculated Tavg increasing trend values since about 1985 are clearly driven upward by station measurement siting…
O C Register Publishes a Climate Alarmist “The Heat Rises” Weather Impact Chart Which Should instead be Called “The Hype, Distortion & Deception Rises”
It is extremely unfortunate that the U.S. media is so incapable and incompetent at addressing the huge climate science shortcomings underlying climate alarmist propaganda as illustrated in this Register and…
Saving Lives from Extreme Heat Requires Reducing Urban Heat Island Effects Not CO2!
Urban Heat Islands are centers for the most heat related deaths. The battle to save lives from unnatural extreme heat requires reducing urban heat island effects. Reducing CO2 is irrelevant!
Right, Washington Post, Rural Areas Are Significantly Cooler Than Cities, But Please Learn How to Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
Despite this laughable failure of grade-school science, the WaPo story does point out the mechanism for how rural areas help keep cities cooler.
Video: The urban heat island – implications for global warming & climate change
In this video, we compare rural and urban weather station data to explain “urbanization bias” in cities along with possible solutions to urban heating.
