Judith Curry, Jim Johnstone and Mark Jelinek
published an
exhaustive analysis of the July 2023 global
temperature.
Their conclusions are sobering:
1.July 2023 global temp. anomaly is
slightly lower than than of 2016, and comparable to
that of 1998
2. There is an anomalous shortwave heating in
the NH, which is influenced by the reduction in
sulfate emissions from ship fuel (ships switched to
cleaner fuel)
3. Any increase of the greenhouse effect from
increasing CO2 is lost in the noise.

Data shows
there's no climate catastrophe looming.
Watch this interview with Dr. John Christy,
professor of Atmospheric Science at UAH.
Very sober, very clear!

Now that Vattenfall abandons its
greatest offshore wind-project in the UK (see
here), you may read this very interesting
report on the costs of "renewable energy",
and why contrary to the main-stream propaganda, the
price of "renewable solar/wind electricity" steadily
goes up and not down. |

Aliens cause Global Warming
It's now over 20 years that Michael
Crichton held his famous Michelin-Caltech lecture.
Please reread this presentation,
that remains as important and true today as it was
20 years ago. His famous sentence
"There is no such thing as consensus science. If
it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it’s science,
it isn’t consensus. Period"
should
be the leitmotiv of every serious scientist, but
alas, it isn't.
Read the entire text carefully, it will be time well
spent!
M.
Crichton a medical doctor, scientist, writer,
filmmaker, passed away in 2008. He remains famous
for his books like Jurassic Park and State
of Fear. |

Dr. Roy Spencer has a very telling article in his
blog on the difference between observations and
models of the summer temperature trends in the
US corn belt: the blue rectangle = observations of
the 50 years trend, , the reds = prediction of 36
different CMIP6 models.

So would you built your climate policies on these
"model foundations"? |

Excellent paper by e.Venture (in German) on the
future of the German decarbonized grid in 2040
"Wesentliche, erwartbare
Erkenntnis ist, dass die Erzeugung aus Wind und PV
der geforderten Nachfrage, bzw. Last nicht
entspricht...Die Höhe des leistungsseitigen Defizits
ist mit brutto 120 GW bei einer Maximallast von 146
GW erheblich. Anders ausgedrückt reicht an 5.000
Stunden im Jahr die Erzeugung aus Wind und PV nicht
aus, die Bedarfe zu decken. "

The Holocene CO2 Dilemma
Renée Hannon has a new article on
the Holocene (last 12000 years) CO2 and global
temperature evolution, comparing observations (=
temp.&CO2 derived from proxies) and models.
The difference is breathtaking:
Global temp. from proxies are inverse proportional
to CO2 levels (upper plot), whereas the models show
the opposite (lower plot).... and all our curent
climate policies are based on these models!
Hannon concludes: "The fact that
CO2 correlates well to Holocene temperatures for
only the Antarctic, or <10% of our planet's surface,
yet CO2 is considered as the dominant influence on
climate change is a scientific dilemma."
Read also the comments after the
article, especially what XJavier Vinos writes:
So it turns out that the CO2 hypothesis and
associated models can only explain 50 years of the
past 11,700. And in doing so they render 11,650
years of climate change unexplainable. This is the
mark of a failed theory. It would have been ditched
long ago if it wasn’t for the strong political
support. Many paleoclimatologists are very unhappy
with it. |

What causes Climate Change?
Read this short, but very clear
comment by Daniel Nebert:
"The fact is: the more one looks into the
intricacies of Earth’s extraordinarily complex
climate system, the more apparent it is, how little
we really know. Therefore, it’s best to proceed
slowly and carefully — ignoring the subjective hype
generated by mainstream media and politicians." |
 |
Nobelist (Physics, 2022) Dr. John Clauser says this:
“The
popular narrative about climate change reflects a
dangerous corruption of science that threatens the
world’s economy and the well-being of billions of
people.
Misguided climate science has metastasized into
massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience. In
turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a
wide variety of other unrelated ills. It has been
promoted and extended by similarly misguided
business marketing agents, politicians, journalists,
government agencies, and environmentalists.
In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis.
There is, however, a very real problem with
providing a decent standard of living to the world’s
large population and an associated energy crisis.
The latter is being unnecessarily exacerbated by
what, in my opinion, is incorrect climate science.”

OFF TARGET...Read this article by Prof.
Lennart Bengtsson ( former at Max Planck Institute,
University of Reading, European Center for
Medium-Range Weather Forecasting...)
"There
is nothing wrong with setting targets. However, it
is important to first ensure that the objectives are
reasonable and, above all, that they are feasible.
Formulating irrelevant goals – or goals that cannot
be achieved for scientific, technical or economic
reasons – does not benefit anyone...
The most sensible thing to do today is to study
those areas of the world that have managed to adapt
to harsh climates." |

The 53th Earth Day is here,
and not a single of the doomsday predictions by the
"experts" and the media have been come true!
Never trust the prophets of doom! |

The GWPF has published Prof. Ole HUMLUM's
"State of the Climate 2022" report. Prof.
Humlum analysis is based mainly on observations, and
his conclusions are that even if land temepratures
have increased since the 1970's, the total energy
content of [atmosphere + ocean] seems to remain more
or less stable, which would show that observed
warming may result from a " redistribution of
energy between ocean and atmosphere". Especially
for variations of storms and hurricanes, "the
continental US remains within the normal range since
1851"

New very complete paper in Nature Science
Communications on "Spatial
energy density of large-scale electricity generation..."
by Noland et al. Biomass is worst, nuclear by far
the best!and "...
onshore wind farms are the second most dilute source
for power generation"

Listen to the
conference given by Prof. Steven Koonin in Paris
the 23th March 2023 (in English, 56 minutes). Koonin
is the former scientific and energy adviser of
Barack Obama.

A look at the Shape of Temperature Change over Time.
Interesting blog comment at WUWT by Mark Fife concluding "In every 10-year average, 99.7% of the
stations fall within 2.25° and -1.75° of their 1920 – 2011
average".
10. A real cool 12 minute video by Dr. David Evans "Climate
change in 12 minutes". Peek also into this animated
video by Dr. Roy Spencer.
Bill Gates, who said poor countries
“desperately need cheap sources of energy now to fuel
economic growth that lifts families out of poverty. They
can’t afford today’s expensive clean energy solutions
and we can’t expect them to wait for the technology to
get cheaper.” - See more at:

James Lovelock: "They all talk, they pass laws, they
do things, as if they knew what was happening. I don’t think
anybody really knows what’s happening. They just guess. And
a whole group of them meet together and encourage each
other’s guesses." (link)

Words
of the great physicist Freeman Dyson:
"Unfortunately the global
warming hysteria, as I see it, is driven by politics
more than by science. If it happens that I am wrong and
the climate experts are right, it is still true that the
remedies are far worse than the disease that they claim
to cure."
98. Words by
the great French philosopher Pascal Bruckner:
"All the foolishness of
Bolshevism, Maoism, and Trotskyism are somehow
reformulated exponentially in the name of saving the
planet." (comments

99. R. Lindzen: "Future generations will wonder in
bemused amazement that the early 21st century's
developed world went into hysterical panic over a
globally averaged temperature increase of a few tenths
of a degree and, on the basis of gross exaggerations of
highly uncertain computer projections combined into
implausible chains of inference, proceeded to
contemplate a roll-back of the industrial age"

"Le
doute est le commen-cement de la science ; qui
ne doute de rien n'examine rien ; qui n'examine
rien ne découvre rien ; qui ne découvre rien est
aveugle et demeure aveugle".

Some say the world will end in
fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
Fire and Ice, R. Frost, 1920

das Wahre immer wiederholen, weil auch der
Irrtum um uns her immer wieder gepredigt wird,
und zwar nicht von einzelnen, sondern von der
Masse. In Zeitungen und Enzyklopädien, auf
Schulen und Universitäten, überall ist der
Irrtum oben auf, und es ist ihm wohl und
behaglich, im Gefühl der Majorität, die auf
seiner Seite ist". Johann Wolfgang von
Goethe, 1828. |
