Growing up in the sun-scorched plains of Southern India, where summer temperatures often flirt with 104 degrees Fahrenheit, I learned early that extreme heat is not an anomaly but a seasonal reality to be expected. Yet, all of us confront the metaphorical heat of relentless rhetoric from climate alarmists who insist our planet is overheating beyond the point of salvaging.In Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore), the city I now call home, climate narratives often echo global hysteria. Headlines scream … [Read more...]
No Climate Mayday in Madras: Reconsidering Doomsday Narratives
A decade ago, I was able to get away from a terrible flood that killed more than 500 people in the southern India city of Chennai (formerly known as Madras). The bus taking me from the city barely managed to avoid rising water slowly but inexorably engulfing the roads.My escape was only possible because I had been tracking the movement of a cyclone that had brought the deluge. That flood was not unusual. Once known for its light cotton fabric designs known by the Madras name and most popular in … [Read more...]
UAH v6.1 Global Temperature Update for March, 2025: +0.58 deg. C
The Version 6.1 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for March, 2025 was +0.58 deg. C departure from the 1991-2020 mean, up from the February, 2025 anomaly of +0.50 deg. C.The Version 6.1 global area-averaged linear temperature trend (January 1979 through March 2025) remains at +0.15 deg/ C/decade (+0.22 C/decade over land, +0.13 C/decade over oceans).The following table lists various regional Version 6.1 LT departures from the 30-year (1991-2020) average for the last 15 … [Read more...]
Media’s Green Pandering Lures Developing World Into Disaster
Most, if not all, individuals encountered daily in my native country of India appear to have adopted the media’s narrative of a climate crisis. Of course, individuals with demanding schedules often lack the time or energy to research climate science and sort through conflicting assertions in the news.Ideologues, in collaboration with much of the media, have exploited the public’s naivete to promote fear of a supposedly overheating planet and halt the use of fossil fuels. The result has been … [Read more...]
SEC’s Climate Risk Disclosure Rule Would Compel Companies to Make Scientifically False and Misleading Disclosures
In March last year, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued its climate risk disclosure rule, called “The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors.” It requires companies to report enormously costly and voluminous data on their carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. With this rule, the SEC seeks “to achieve the primary benefits of GHG emissions disclosure” for investors, including disclosure of “risks associated” with regulations … [Read more...]
NOAA’s Homogenized Temperature Records: A Statistical House of Cards?
Guest column by Charles RotterFor years, climate scientists have assured us that NOAA's homogenized temperature datasets---particularly the Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN)---are the gold standard for tracking global warming. But what if the "corrections" applied to these datasets are introducing more noise than the signal? A recent study published in Atmosphere has uncovered shocking inconsistencies in NOAA's adjustments, raising serious concerns about the reliability of homogenized … [Read more...]
Save the Planet! Stop … Doing Everything Your Body Needs to Survive!
Humans are destroying the planet by emitting greenhouse gases. We’ve heard that time and time again. But if you stand there and do nothing but breathe … you still are emitting greenhouse gases!But maybe not only in the way you think.Go outside and stand there for several minutes. No external heating, no cooling, no transportation. Are you leaving a carbon footprint by producing greenhouse gases?Sure you are!You are no doubt aware that by simply partaking in the act of breathing, you are taking … [Read more...]
Mann vs Science: Science Wins!
Mark Steyn (l) and Michael Mann (r), adapted from Wikipedia, licensed under CC BY 2.0 and CC BY-SA 4.0.The public perception is that Dr. Michael Mann has become the standard bearer of climate change. After all, he invented the climate hockey stick idea, which has been relentlessly seared into the public’s consciousness by a complicit lamestream media. In effect, his graph has arguably been the premier example of real Science having been taken over by political science. It appears that this has … [Read more...]
Reasons Why Regulating CO2 Emissions Needs to be Reconsidered
March 7, the Washington Post reported the EPA Administrator is considering recommending to the White House that the EPA’s 2009 CO2 Endangerment Finding be rescinded. Let’s look at a few of the reasons why this might be a good thing to consider.The ScienceThe science of human-caused climate change is much more uncertain that you have been led to believe. The globally-averaged surface temperature of Earth seems to have warmed by 1 deg. C or so in the last century. The magnitude of the warming … [Read more...]
UAH v6.1 Global Temperature Update for February, 2025: +0.50 deg. C
The Version 6.1 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for February, 2025 was +0.50 deg. C departure from the 1991-2020 mean, up a little from the January, 2025 anomaly of +0.45 deg. C.The Version 6.1 global area-averaged linear temperature trend (January 1979 through February 2025) remains at +0.15 deg/ C/decade (+0.22 C/decade over land, +0.13 C/decade over oceans).The following table lists various regional Version 6.1 LT departures from the 30-year (1991-2020) average for … [Read more...]
