The Version 6 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for June 2023 was +0.38 deg. C departure from the 1991-2020 mean. This is statistically unchanged from the May 2023 anomaly of +0.37 deg. C.The linear warming trend since January, 1979 remains at +0.13 C/decade (+0.12 C/decade over the global-averaged oceans, and +0.18 C/decade over global-averaged land).Various regional LT departures from the 30-year (1991-2020) average for the last 18 months … [Read more...]
New Claims of Record-Setting Temperatures Are Nothing but Hot Air
Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashRecently headlines in mainstream media such as the BBC, CNN, Forbes, and The Washington Post blared the consistent message that July 4, 2023 was the hottest day in history, or at least in the past 125,000 years. The headlines and stories show just how gullible the media is, or alternatively, that they are so wedded to the climate crisis narrative that they would publish a story they know is impossible to verify and is probably untrue.The Washington … [Read more...]
The Religious Cult of Climate Catastrophism
The following is a guest article by Andrew Montford.I have been working in climate and energy for nearly 15 years, and it’s fair to say that it’s not often I find something that makes me radically change the way I look at the domain. But a new book, by Andy A West, has done just that.The Grip of Culture makes the case that climate catastrophism is cultural – akin to religion or one of the extreme political movements that have assailed the world from time to time. This is not an entirely new … [Read more...]
The Truth About Canada’s Wildfires
Canada’s wildfires continue to burn, and with smoke from those fires darkening the skies in the United States, the mainstream media are covering it extensively. A common underlying theme in almost every report is that climate change is partly to blame for the size of Canada’s wildfires this season and that such fires and the heat contributing to them are a portent of things to come if we don’t stop using fossil fuels.Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash“With over 120 million U.S. residents … [Read more...]
Global Warming Saves Lives
[Editor’s note: You’ve heard there are “lies, damned lies, and statistics”? That it’s easy to lie with statistics—even if your numbers are true? Those aphorisms are absolutely true. And what our friends at the CO2 Coalition reveal in this brief article is a stellar example. Lancet, which is among the most respected medical journals, should be ashamed to have published the incredibly deceptive graph shown on the left. Thanks to the CO2 Coalition, the graph on the right corrects it. Climate … [Read more...]
The Urban Heat Island Effect in GHCN Station Temperatures: Urban Locations Show Large Spurious Warming Effects
It has been a while since I have posted progress on our DOE-funded research into the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect in the GHCN station temperatures used to monitor land-based global warming. It should be remembered that everything I post on this subject is (as is usually the case) a work in progress.What I am addressing is the existence of localized long-term warming associated with population increases which are over and above the large-scale warming due to humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions … [Read more...]
Education Game-Changer
Last week, for the first time, a major state formally rebuked one of the core elements of the Left’s scheme to undermine our education system (see below). If other states are paying attention, this could be the beginning of an extraordinarily significant awakening and rejection of the stranglehold that the Left now has on our K-12 education system.It’s no secret that the Left plans to take down America. Their number one strategy to bring this about is to corrupt the education system. Their … [Read more...]
Great Car Reset: Biden’s EPA to Release Strict New Fed Emissions Standard
The Great Car Reset has arrived: Our transportation system is being intentionally collapsed; (and our freedom of movement is being stripped away) EVs are to be forced upon YOU without a vote!This is the planned rationing of vehicles. The planned rationing of American cars. That’s the only way this plan makes sense. The only result will be shortages of cars and a completely altered used car market. You can look to Cuba to find out what it’s like to have a raging used car market because … [Read more...]
Biden’s 67% EV Policy: a Dictatorial Attack on the American Driver and the US Grid
Biden's proposed mandate of 67% EVs in the 2030s is a dictatorial attack on the American driver and the U.S. grid that will:1. Force Americans to drive inferior cars.2. Place massive new demand for reliable electricity on a grid that is declining in reliable electricity supply.China dominates the supply chains of many critical minerals, and given the environmental policies of the Biden administration, this will not change in favor of U.S. mining anytime soon.1Biden’s EPA is planning to dictate … [Read more...]
Some Like It Hot – Others Like It Cold
The drivel from air-conditioned mainstream media newsrooms has reached new levels of guffaw with the “shocking” headlines that the Fourth of July was the hottest day on Earth in “as many as 125,000 years” – breaking a record set on July 3. Hmmm. Really? Or is this just hype to avoid mentioning the shortfall of patriotic fireworks, replaced by drones across much of the Home of the Brave (not so much.)Here’s what we know IS true. In many places, including central Texas, it was HOT on … [Read more...]
