RSSHalle (Saale)/Leipzig/Moscow. At the end of the last interglacial epoch, around 115,000 years ago, there were significant climate fluctuations. In Central and Eastern Europe, the slow transition from the Eemian Interglacial to the Weichselian Glacial was marked by a growing instability in vegetation trends with possibly at least two warming events. This is the finding [...]
The BBC’s governing body has launched a major review of its science coverage after complaints of bias notably in its treatment of climate change.
The BBC Trust today announced it would carry out the probe into the ‘accuracy and impartiality’ of its output in this increasingly controversial area.
The review comes after repeated criticism of the broadcaster’s [...]
WATERLOO, Ont. (Monday, Dec. 21, 2009) – Cosmic rays and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), both already implicated in depleting the Earth’s ozone layer, are also responsible for changes in the global climate, a University of Waterloo scientist reports in a new peer-reviewed paper.
In his paper, Qing-Bin Lu, a professor of physics and astronomy, shows how CFCs – [...]
The Indian Environment Ministry has published a report (pdf) claiming that there is no greenhouse gas signal in the retreat of Indian glaciers. This isn’t the first time that the Indian government have issued an independent climate report that challenges the IPCC’s climate alarmism. I reported on the 2008 document entitled ‘National Action Plan on [...]
Alarming predictions that climate change will lead to the extinction of hundreds of species may be exaggerated, according to Oxford scientists.
They say that many biodiversity forecasts have not taken into account the complexities of the landscape and frequently underestimate the ability of plants and animals to adapt to changes in their environment.
“The evidence of climate [...]
A man has been told he can take his employer to tribunal on the grounds he was unfairly dismissed because of his views on climate change.

A man who claims he was unfairly dismissed from his job because he believes in climate change is attempting to have his environmental views recognised under religious law.
Tim Nicholson, 42, says his beliefs on the environment are so strong they led to clashes with other senior staff at Grainger, one of the UK’s biggest property [...]
Nature not man responsible for recent global warming
Three Australasian researchers have shown that natural forces are the dominant influence on climate, in a study just published in the highly-regarded Journal of Geophysical Research. According to this study little or none of the late 20th century global warming and cooling can be attributed to human activity.
The [...]
The Resilient Earth
A new paper has been published in the Journal of Geophysical Research – Atmospheres entitled: ‘Influence of the Southern Oscillation on tropospheric temperature’ by McLean, J. D., C. R. de Freitas, and R. M. Carter (2009)Geophys. Res., 114, D14104, doi:10.1029/2008JD011637.
The Abstract states:
Time series for the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and global tropospheric temperature anomalies (GTTA) [...]
