Nir Shaviv’s latest paper has been published in the Journal of Geophysical Research (Space Physics). It is entitled: ‘Using the oceans as a calorimeter to quantify the solar radiative forcing.’ The Abstract states: Over the 11-year solar cycle, small changes in the total solar irradiance (TSI) give rise to small variations in the global energy [...]
Washington , DC — Award-winning Princeton University Physicist Dr. Will Happer declared man-made global warming fears “mistaken” and noted that the Earth was currently in a “CO2 famine now.” Happer, who has published over 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers, made his remarks during today’s Environment and Public Works Full Committee Hearing entitled “Update on the Latest [...]
Japanese scientists have made a dramatic break with the UN and Western-backed hypothesis of climate change in a new report from its Energy Commission. Three of the five researchers disagree with the UN’s IPCC view that recent warming is primarily the consequence of man-made industrial emissions of greenhouse gases. Remarkably, the subtle and nuanced language [...]
The graph, which was added to his talk last year, came just after a sequence of images of people from Iowa to South Australia struggling with drought, wildfire, flooding and other weather-related calamities. Mr. Gore described the pattern as a manifestation of human-driven climate change. “This is creating weather-related disasters that are completely unprecedented,” he [...]
The one-time opponents of nuclear power, who include the former head of Greenpeace, have told The Independent that they have now changed their minds over atomic energy because of the urgent need to curb emissions of carbon dioxide. The Indpendent: ‘Nuclear power? Yes please…’
Science Policy expert Roger Pielke Jr has placed the slides for his talk ‘Uncomfortable Knowledge on Climate Change’ online here (pdf).
National Snow and Ice Data Center, 18th February 2009: ‘Satellite sensor errors cause data outage’ As some of our readers have already noticed, there was a significant problem with the daily sea ice data images on February 16. The problem arose from a malfunction of the satellite sensor we use for our daily sea ice [...]
UN IPCC’s William Schlesinger admits that only 20% of IPCC scientists deal with climate during a debate with John Christy. Excerpt: His complete answer was that he thought, “something on the order of 20 percent have had some dealing with climate.” In other words, even the IPCC’s Schlesinger now acknowledges that 80 percent of the [...]
The impact small wind turbines placed on homes and business could have on birds and bats is to be studied by researchers at Stirling University. The study will look at the number of the animals killed by micro-turbines, why they may fly towards the machines and possible effects on nesting. BBC News website: ‘Turbines’ impact [...]
Holland and Webster (2007) claimed to have definitively linked hurricane activity to greenhouse gas emissions (pdf). However, a new paper published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS) demonstrates that the results of Holland and Webster are statistically invalid. The paper is entitled: ‘Regimes or Cycles in Tropical Cyclone Activity in the North [...]
