Calling Al Gore: What Happened to All the Hurricanes?

After Hurricane Katrina and the amazing season of 2005, we were supposed to see year after year of terrible hurricanes. Where are they? Where is all the death and destruction? We were told global warming was here, and would ignite a fire under the storms, making them bigger and more frequent. Massive hurricanes like Katrina [...]

Peer Reviewed Study: No Trend in Global Hurricane Activity (1965-2008)

‘Over the period of 1965–2008, the global Tropical Cyclone (TC) activity, as measured by storm days, shows a large amplitude fluctuation regulated by ENSO and PDO, but has no trend, suggesting that rising temperature so far has not yet an impact on global total number of storm days.’ Wang, B., Y. Yang, Q.‐H. Ding, H. [...]

More Phenomenological Evidence from Scafetta on Climate Oscillations

Empirical evidence for a celestial origin of the climate oscillations and its implications Nicola Scafetta, Active Cavity Radiometer Irradiance Monitor (ACRIM) Lab, Coronado, CA 92118, USA Department of Physics, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708, USA Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics Volume 72, Issue 13, August 2010, Pages 951-970 doi:10.1016/j.jastp.2010.04.015 Abstract: We investigate whether or [...]

Indur Goklany: Global Death Toll From Extreme Weather Events Declining

A Primer on the Global Death Toll from Extreme Weather Events — Context and Long Term (1900–2008) Trends Background Based on 2000–08 data, extreme weather events are responsible for about 0.05% of all global deaths (31,700 deaths vs. 58.8 million, annually). That is, despite the media attention to such events, extreme weather events have a [...]

New Paper by McKitrick et al on Tropical Troposphere Trends

TROPICAL TROPOSPHERE: The 2006 CCSP report pointed to a mismatch between models and observed trends in the tropical troposphere as a “potentially serious inconsistency.” In short, the climate models need to get the tropical troposphere right, since it’s a vast region where the models all show a relatively enhanced and rapid response to greenhouse gases. [...]

A Critical Review of Global Surface Temperature Data Products by Ross McKitrick

Abstract: There are three main global temperature histories: the combined CRU-Hadley record (HADCRU), the NASA-GISS (GISTEMP) record, and the NOAA record. All three global averages depend on the same underlying land data archive, the Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN). Because of this reliance on GHCN, its quality deficiencies will constrain the quality of all derived [...]

Marine Life Survived 8X Current CO2 Levels

Throughout Earth’s history, there is evidence of large carbon dioxide releases, greenhouse conditions, ocean acidification, and major changes in marine life. About 120 million years ago (mya), during the early part of the Cretaceous period, a series of massive volcanic eruptions pumped huge amounts of carbon dioxide into Earth’s atmosphere. During the Aptian Oceanic Anoxic [...]

WCR: Recent News from Antarctica

“It seems like we’ve asked this question a million times before and will probably ask it again a million more times. Had these scientists from these three articles found accelerated melting (or any melting), how many headlines would have covered their stories across the globe? They find a gain of ice mass in the Horseshoe [...]

Reassuring Picture from Arctic Ice Scan

An electromagnetic “bird” dispatched to the Arctic for the most detailed look yet at the thickness of the ice has turned up a reassuring picture. The meltdown has not been as dire as some would suggest, said geophysicist Christian Haas of the University of Alberta. His international team flew across the top of the planet [...]

Surprise! UK Warmer Since End of Little Ice Age

A new paper has been published in the journal Proceedings B of The Royal Society entitled: ‘A 250-year index of first flowering dates and its response to temperature changes’ and is reported by left-leaning BBC warmist Richard Black here, who writes: British plants are flowering earlier now than at any time in the last 250 [...]
