DrRoySpencer.com has been demonetized by Google for “unreliable and harmful claims.” This means I can no longer generate revenue to support the website using the Google Adsense program. From a monetary standpoint, it’s not a big deal because what I make off of Google ads is in the noise level of my family’s monthly budget. It barely made more than I pay in hosting fees and an (increasingly expensive) comment spam screener. I’ve been getting Google warnings for a couple of months now about … [Read more...]
Tornado Outbreak: Weather, Not Climate
This image shows today's [December 15, 2021] temperature departures from the 30-year average, which range from 30 deg. F above to 30 deg. below normal. The large unusually warm area in the U.S. Midwest is sandwiched between unusually cold air masses. Over the entire area shown it can be seen that the warm and cold spots approximately cancel out. Global warming is a quasi-global phenomenon, it cannot be blamed for temporary and isolated warm weather events. … [Read more...]
UAH Global Temperature Update for November 2021: Spoiler Alert, No Reason to Worry
The Version 6.0 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for November 2021 was +0.08 deg. C, down substantially from the October 2021 value of +0.37 deg. C.

UAH Global Temperature Update for June 2021: -0.01 deg. C
The Version 6.0 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for June, 2021 was -0.01 deg. C, down from the May, 2021 value of +0.08 deg. C. REMINDER: We have changed the 30-year averaging period from which we compute anomalies to 1991-2020, from the old period 1981-2010. This change does not affect the temperature trends. The linear warming trend since January, 1979 remains at +0.14 C/decade (+0.12 C/decade over the global-averaged oceans, and +0.18 C/decade over … [Read more...]
Faith In Human-Caused Global Warming
During my 30+ year career in climate change research I have come to realize the popular perception of global warming involves at least as much faith as it does science. Participation in the fight against climate change (or pollution, or COVID-19, or many other present-day problems) gives people a sense of purpose in their search for significance, even if their rituals have virtually no impact. In the case of global warming, the global energy imbalance associated with warming in recent decades … [Read more...]
Biden to End Fossil Fuel Subsidies: Like the Paris Agreement, It Will Make No Difference
In what appears to be a never-ending string of ineffective efforts to force the public to use expensive, unreliable, intermittent, and not-widely-deployable renewable energy, the Biden Administration is issuing an executive order that (among other things) directs federal agencies to end fossil fuel subsidies. Personally, I would not mind if all federal subsidies were ended, since all that subsidies do is put the government, rather than the consumer, in charge of what you spend your … [Read more...]
Is Global Warming Harming Great Lakes and Minnesota?
Recently a friend of the Cornwall Alliance wrote us saying, I saw a very concerning rise claimed for the Great Lakes surface temps—not tenths of a degree but closer to 10. We worry for first time in my 7 decades about migration into Minnesota of poisonous species, death of favorite tree species, etc. What are the actual data regarding warming---whether of the air or of the waters---of the Great Lakes area? For the last 10 years I have been consulting with U.S. grain growing interests, … [Read more...]
If 2020 Is the Warmest Year … So What?
While 2020 will be at or near record-warmth globally, this is not something we should be particularly alarmed about. With COVID-19 and demonstrations taking center stage in news coverage, it is easy to forget that we are all dying from climate change, anyway … or so we have been told. The recent claim at cbsnews.com that 2020 will likely be the warmest year on record (globally) leads one to ask: So what? The “warmest year” is typically only hundredths of a degree warmer … [Read more...]
Hot Summer Epic Fail: New Climate Models Exaggerate Midwest Warming by 6X
For the last 10 years I have consulted for grain growing interests, providing information about past and potential future trends in growing season weather that might impact crop yields. Their primary interest is the U.S. corn belt, particularly the 12 Midwest states (Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma, the Dakotas, Minnesota, and Michigan) which produce most of the U.S. corn and soybean crop. Contrary to popular perception, the U.S. Midwest has seen little … [Read more...]
Cornwall Alliance’s Dr. Roy Spencer Speaks to Managers of $25 Trillion in Investments
On February 13, Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Dr. Roy W. Spencer made a presentation to about 120 senior asset managers responsible for investments totaling some $25 trillion. The thrust of his message? "NO CLIMATE CRISIS---But the 'Profits of Doom' Will Continue." Dr. Spencer, a principal research scientist in climatology at the University of Alabama, Huntsville who, with his colleague Dr. John Christy, manages NASA's satellite global temperature measuring program and is the U.S. Science … [Read more...]
