Quiet Sun: Who Saw it Coming?

The Sun has hit a 100-year low in sunspot activity, a 50-year low in solar wind pressure and a 55-year low in radio emissions. Who predicted this would happen? A couple of papers spring to mind: Fairbridge, R. W. and Shirley, J. H. (1987): Prolonged minima and the 179-year cycle of the solar inertial motion. [...]

Et tu Trouet?

New Scientist, also known as Nude Socialist magazine, never misses the opportunity to use the derogatory phrase ‘climate-change deniers’ in order to smear sound scientific argument against an unverifiable computer modelled catastrophe driven by harmless aerial plant food gas. The latest opportunity has arisen courtesy of a new paper in Science magazine by Trouet el [...]

The Earth Still Recovering from a Glacial Hangover

A new explanation for the cause of changes in the chemical makeup of the oceans through recent Earth history is put forward in a paper published in Nature (26th March, 2009). Scientists from the Universities of Southampton and Bristol suggest that adjustments in ocean chemistry through recent geological time are driven by variations in the [...]

CO2 Enriched Air is Increasing Plant Growth Rates

A study by the University of Leeds, published in the science journal Nature, measured the girth of 70,000 trees across 10 African countries and compared them with similar records made four decades ago.On average, the trees were getting bigger faster and researchers found that each hectare of African forest was trapping an extra 0.6 tons [...]

Business as Usual in West Antarctic and the Media

More evidence of ‘global warming’ or more evidence of how the West Antarctic has behaved over the past 14 million years? ANTARCTICA: Freeze-Dried Findings Support a Tale of Two Ancient Climates A [...]

Thames Barrier Design Overestimated Climate Threat

London is less vulnerable to rising sea levels caused by global warming than experts realised, according to a new analysis. Experts at the Environment Agency said the Thames Barrier will protect the city for decades longer than engineers thought, with a six-year study revealing that the barrier’s original designs overestimated the threat from climate change. [...]

Climate Policy Realism from the USA

The US must balance science with what is politically and technologically achievable on climate change, America’s lead negotiator has said. Speaking at UN talks in Bonn, Jonathan Pershing said the US must not offer more than it could deliver by 2020. Poor countries said the latest science showed rich states should cut emissions by 40% [...]

LETTER TO SECRETARY OF STATE FOR ENERGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE Dear Secretary of State You recently slipped [...]
