Increasing numbers of scientists are predicting that a quieting Sun will lead to global cooling here on Earth. Here is a fairly typical picture of the Sun, courtesy of the University of Wisconsin, showing lots of sunspots, on March 29, 2001: Here's a more recent image, courtesy of NASA, for March 24, 2008: You can check out images for day after day after day for the past few years. Very few images show more than one sunspot, and many show none. Featured Image Courtesy of Nick … [Read more...]
My Nobel Moment and Global Climate Change
I'm sure the majority (but not all) of my IPCC colleagues cringe when I say this, but I see neither the developing catastrophe nor the smoking gun proving that human activity is to blame for most of the warming we see. Rather, I see a reliance on climate models (useful but never "proof") and the coincidence that changes in carbon dioxide and global temperatures have loose similarity over time. There are some of us who remain so humbled by the task of measuring and understanding the … [Read more...]
Hey, Nobel Prize Winners, Answer Me This
As a climate scientist, I would like to see some answers to a few basic global warming science questions which I’m sure the U.N.’s Ministry of Global Warming Truth (also known as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC) can handle. After all, since they are 90% confident that recent global warming is manmade, they surely must have already addressed these issues: 1) Why are ALL of the 20+ IPCC climate models more sensitive in their total cloud feedback than published estimates of … [Read more...]
Perceived Southern Baptist Split on Global Warming Evaporating
. Washington, DC (March 11, 2008) - In response to the well-publicized announcement of the Southern Baptist Environment and Climate Initiative, Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, national spokesman for the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, issued the following statement today: This declaration, though sincere, is being used to give the false impression of a major split among Southern Baptists over global warming. Indeed, according to the most prominent signer, Southern Baptist Convention … [Read more...]
Seminary Student’s Climate Change Project is not SBC’s
Reprinted with permission of the Baptist Press* WASHINGTON (BP)—Jonathan Merritt, a 25-year-old student at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, N.C., captured widespread media attention March 10 in releasing a statement titled “A Southern Baptist Declaration on the Environment and Climate Change.” The so-called “Southern Baptist” statement is not an initiative of the Southern Baptist Convention which voiced its views on global warming last summer in a resolution, “On Global … [Read more...]

The Declaration reads: "Global warming" is not a global crisis We, the scientists and researchers in climate and related fields, economists, policymakers, and business leaders, assembled at Times Square, New York … [Read more...]
New Summary for Policymakers: Nature, Not Human Activity, Rules the Climate
A panel of climate change experts calling itself the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change, headed by S. Fred Singer, this week released a report that competes head-on with the Summary for Policymakers of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The group's name highlights the fact that, contrary to common perceptions that it is an objective body of scientists, the IPCC comprises not only scientists but also government bureaucrats and policy shapers, and its Summary for … [Read more...]
Global Warming: Not so Fast
[Editor's note: This item is a little longer and more technical than most we carry, but reading it carefully can provide a good education in the science of the climate debate. --ECB] For more than 100 years, climate scientists have fully understood that if all else were held constant, an increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) would lead to an increase in the near-surface air temperatures. The problem becomes a lot more complicated in the real world when we consider … [Read more...]
Four Sources Say “Globally Cooler” in the Past Twelve Months
[Editor's note: Ask yourself why the mainstream media haven't blown the trumpet on this highly significant news. If the change in temperature had been of equal magnitude but upward, you can be certain it would have made headlines around the world, and people like James Hansen and Al Gore would be heralding it as a sure sign of impending disaster.--ECB] January 2008 was an exceptional month for our planet, with a significant cooling, especially since January 2007 started out well above … [Read more...]
Deep Ecology, Neo-Paganism, and the Irrationalism of Global Warming Hysteria
Delivered to the Christian Witness in a Pagan Planet CWIPPThink Conference, January 21-24, 2008 From the paper: . . . In April of last year I was among about eighty participants from around the world–scientists, politicians, economists, religious leaders–in a conference on climate change sponsored by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace at the Vatican. During the shuttle trip from our meeting place in Vatican City to our hotel the first evening, I sat beside a middle-aged woman, tall, … [Read more...]
