Do you remember, back in the good old days, just over a year ago (6 months BC – Before Covid) when the mainstream alarmist media was breathlessly reporting two studies which showed that modern global warming was truly global and unprecedented in magnitude in the last 2000 years? I doubt you could have missed it; … Continue reading

September 2019 UK Climate Crisis Update
According to the Met Office, September daily average maximum temperature in the UK was just over 17°C which makes it . . . . wait for it . . . . the 24th warmest since records began in 1910. UK Septembers became noticeably warmer after 1985, until 2006, then they started to get cooler … Continue reading
Jet Stream Weirding Just Got Weirder
Meteorologist Cliff Mass reports the Pacific northwest jet stream over the US at the moment is the strongest ever recorded during summer: An extraordinary weather event has been occurring above our heads during the past 24-hour. A record that was not only broken, but shattered to little pieces. We’ve heard lots about how wavy and … Continue reading
El Nino – Quantum Leap in Strength And Strangeness, But Not Charm
A new study has recently been published by Mandy Freund et al entitled ‘Higher frequency of Central Pacific El Niño events in recent decades relative to past centuries‘. The research is based upon a 400 year coral record gathered from various regions in the equatorial Pacific. The authors conclude that Central Pacific (CP) El … Continue reading
Canada’s Burning and it’s Mostly Because of Humans Says Federal Government Report
The BBC obligingly reports on a Canadian government analysis of the national warming trend which concludes that warming since 1948 is twice the global average and is mostly due to greenhouse gases expelled by industries and homes. Which is convenient, because Turdeau is currently expanding the regressive socialist carbon tax to include another four … Continue reading
Daily Mail: Britain Will Get Hotter and Wetter and Plagued By Killer Zika Carrying Mosquitoes as Global Temperature Rises 8.5C by 2100 in ‘Business as Usual’ Scenario!
Alarmism on stilts with its dunce cap on. This is what the public are being fed on. It’s just so ridiculous, I wonder if it’s worth even commenting on, but people who know nothing about IPCC climate science will read this and think it is fact Continue reading
Super El Ninos Are Like London Buses – You Wait 100 Years For One To Turn Up, Then Three Arrive
I am prompted to write this post following a long and somewhat fractious conversation at Ken Rice’s blog, ATTP, in response to a guest post by Geoff Price on coral reef bleaching. As the post referred to me personally and to a blog post I wrote on Cliscep over a year ago, I … Continue reading
Wally Broecker Dies Aged 87 – Warmists Immediately Claim Him As An Icon of Global Warming Theory
Wallace Broecker has died at the age of 87, on February 18th, 2019, in New York. He leaves behind a large body of pioneering scientific research into the climate and the oceans. Perhaps his most significant contribution was to introduce the idea of the global ocean thermohaline conveyor belt and the concept of … Continue reading
Historical Perspectives on Climate – The Super El Nino of 1876-78
In March 2016, a climate emergency was declared by Stefan Rahmstorf. Gavin Schmidt also tweeted: Normally I don't comment on individual months (too much weather, not enough climate), but last month was special.https://t.co/nALWMlNDcP — Gavin Schmidt (@ClimateOfGavin) March 12, 2016 The ’emergency’ related to the NASA GISS Feb temperature anomaly of 1.35C above 1951-80 … Continue reading
January 2019 Update: The Science Still Isn’t Settled
The “basic physics” of climate change was settled by Tyndall, Arrhenius and others in the 19th century, they say. Then came the models, then came the irrefutable warming, then came the attribution and the fingerprinting and they assured us, again and again, and again over the years, that ‘the science’ was indeed settled – … Continue reading
