Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Roy W. Spencer's monthly graph of global lower atmosphere temperature anomaly for March 2017 shows we're still cooling from the super-El Nino that so warmed 2016. Track your eye straight left from the farthest-right point and you'll see that there's little change from the anomalies of roughly 2001--2006, and of course we had significant downs and ups in between. John Christy in his February 2017 Global Temperature Report (go to … [Read more...]
Nobel physicist Ivar Giaever’s classic lecture on global warming
To answer a question sent to the Cornwall Alliance, I re-watched, today, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Dr. Ivar Giaever's outstanding lecture debunking the idea that carbon dioxide is driving unprecedented global warming and was reminded just how brilliant it is. Despite the passage of nearly two years, it remains highly persuasive. Watch it for yourself. If you've never seen it before, you'll be amazed. … [Read more...]
MIT Scientists Vie for Influence with the White House
Cornwall Alliance Contributing Writer Charles Clough---a veteran meteorologist as well as a theologian, pastor, and graduate of MIT---supports a call by MIT Emeritus Professor of Atmospheric Science Richard Lindzen for the U.S. to leave the U.N Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris climate agreement, and explains why a group of MIT professors who oppose Lindzen are wrong. Here's the intro: During his candidacy Donald Trump said he would withdraw the United States from the Paris … [Read more...]
New video debunks polar bear extinction scare
Polar bear expert Susan Crockford explodes the myth that global warming threatens polar bears in a new video from the Global Warming Policy Foundation. The numbers tell the story: global polar bear population has risen to over 30,000 despite decline in summer Arctic sea ice extent. … [Read more...]
Second Warmest February in 123 Years for Contiguous U.S.—Ho Hum
NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) eagerly reported March 8 that February was the second warmest February in the last 123 years for the contiguous U.S. Various news media played it up. More evidence of dangerous, manmade global warming! (Except that of course warming is only evidence of warming, not of manmade warming. And the contiguous U.S. is not equal to the globe.) See http://www.nsstc.uah.edu/data/msu/v6.0/tlt/uahncdc_lt_6.0.txt for the satellite data (which goes … [Read more...]
This changes everything!
"Consensus" climate science has for decades assumed that the vast majority of the increase in atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (from about 280 parts per million by volume [ppmv] before the Industrial Revolution to about 400 today) has come from burning fossil fuels for energy. On that assumption, "consensus" scientists have alleged that human activity has driven all or most global warming over that time. Most criticism of that thinking has focused on "climate sensitivity"---how … [Read more...]
Judith Curry confirms: climate models can’t justify policy—ANY policy
For years we at the Cornwall Alliance have been saying that the disagreement between model predictions (or projections or simulations, call them what you will) of global temperatures and real-world observations means the models are invalidated and therefore provide no rational basis for predictions of future temperature and therefore no rational basis for policies meant to respond to such predictions. Now one of the world's leading climatologists, recently retired Professor Judith Curry, Chair … [Read more...]
Does the Trump Administration Put Science in Jeopardy?
It's hard to imagine a more thoroughly ignorant statement than this: “The discipline of science is one where the facts, once they are peer-reviewed and published in scientific journals, are fixed. They’re not open to interpretation, or at least not much.” That's the opinion of Jeffrey Kluger and Justin Worland, writing in "How a war on science could hurt the U.S.---and its citizens." in Time magazine. The truth, of course, for these two apparent neophytes to science, is quite the … [Read more...]
Has NOAA’s “Pausebuster” Been Busted?
“The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.”—Proverbs 18:17 Major news outlets and the climate change-focused blogosphere erupted over the last few days with the The Daily Mail’s publication February 4 of David Rose’s “Exposed: How world leaders were duped into investing billions over manipulated global warming data.” Rose reported serious data mishandling behind a study published in Science (Karl et al.) in 2015 by NOAA’s Tom Karl, Thomas … [Read more...]
Did the Pause End, or Did El Niño Interrupt It?
While reading Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Dr. Roy W. Spencer's "UAH Global Temperature Update for January, 2017: +0.30 deg. C," I happened to notice that the anomaly for the globe as a whole for January 2017 was identical to that of January 2015, at 0.3˚C. Then I eyeballed the anomalies for the intervening months in the table Roy provided and noticed quickly how prominently the effect of the super-El Niño that ran from late 2015 through most of 2016 was. In light of widespread questions … [Read more...]
