Much has been written about the newly released IPCC Special report on global warming of 1.5C, in the media and on blogs ranging from sceptical, to not so sceptical, to climate consensual, to downright alarmist. Much more will be written I am sure. This is just a short(ish) post on my initial impressions … Continue reading
Mean Central England Temperature for September 2018 turned out to to be 13.7C. This puts September 2018 in the entirely unremarkable middling territory between the coldest and hottest Septembers ever recorded, being 10.5C in 1674 and 16.8C in 2006. In point of fact, the very first time we had a warmer September (i.e. 13.8C) … Continue reading

It’s official: 2018 is only the 5th warmest summer on record in Central England, beaten by a full half a degree by 1976, closely followed by 1826, before we started belching out planet-destroying CO2. Glum faces all around at Warmist HQ. Good grief, we couldn’t even manage to beat 2003, the classic climate changed … Continue reading
Rapid extreme weather attribution, aka climate ambulance chasing, has come of age and the attributors are in high demand: For Friederike Otto, a climate modeller at the University of Oxford, UK, the past week has been a frenzy, as journalists clamoured for her views on climate change’s role in the summer heat. “It’s been … Continue reading
The climate change convinced dared to dream a dream: that human beings, single-handedly, uniquely, in the 4.2 billion year geological history of planet Earth, had, some time within the last few hundred years, initiated a new geological epoch they dubbed the Anthropocene. They have lovingly nurtured their dream for nearly two decades now, … Continue reading
