Human-induced Global Warming—A Little, or a Lot?

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 […]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
