Atmospheric temperature is rising at less than half the rate predicted by the computer models. Even the predicted rate isn’t particularly disturbing so far as its effects on ecosystems or human wellbeing are concerned. That’s because, as the models predict, most of the increase is toward the poles, in winter, at night, little toward the […]

Oh, this is rich with irony! The Dhaka Tribune, Bangladesh, reports: Every year Himalayan rivers carry an estimated one billion tones of silts and deposit them in the Bay of Bengal off the coast of Bangladesh, forming islands in the shallow waters Dozens of new islands have emerged from the waters around Bangladesh over the last
Sea-level Rise a Problem? Global Warming to the Rescue! Learn More »
Climate science is about to make a tectonic shift. Here is why. Lately, political groups have heavily influenced climate science. Carbon dioxide emissions from anthropogenic sources such as coal plants and industries have been accused of causing a dangerous increase in global temperature. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—alarmists’ preferred source for the scientific understanding

Fears of accelerating sea level rise (SLR) due to anthropogenic global warming (AGW) are rampant nowadays—often the primary phenomenon in people’s minds when they think of potential ill effects of AGW. The image above, created by NASA to show what lands would be inundated by a hypothetical 70-foot SLR, thought by some to be in

One way for environmentalists, who tend to be on the political Left, to curry favor with conservatives is to try to tie their concerns to national defense, or “military readiness.” That’s certainly become a major theme of warnings about global warming-driven sea-level rise of late. Tying global warming, sea-level rise, and national defense together stretches

In his 2006 “documentary” An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore said global sea level could rise by 20 feet (~6.1 meters) “in the near future.” How near, he didn’t define, but generally he’s been taken as meaning by the end of this century. That would require a rise rate of 64 mm/year. In 2015, The Guardian, that the

Chicken Little never takes a vacation when it comes to environmental scares. A spring without birds, overpopulation, mass famines, resource exhaustion, rainforest destruction, mass extinctions, global cooling, acid rain, ozone depletion, global warming … the list could go on and on. Just on the topic of global warming Chicken Little touts a new alarm pretty

Just been too busy to write much in the way of blog posts lately, but here are some articles I’ve thought particularly well worth sharing lately: Falling Sea Level: The Critical Factor in 2016 Great Barrier Reef Bleaching! by Jim Steele. “It is puzzling why the recent 2017 publication in Nature, Global Warming And Recurrent Mass

As medium-term global average atmospheric temperature trends continue to diverge sharply from predictions based on global warming alarmists’ hypotheses about CO2’s warming effect, climate feedbacks, and computer models expressing those hypotheses, the alarmists have increasingly turned to other reasons for pursuing the economic (especially energy) policies they prefer: “weather weirding,” “extreme weather,” ocean “acidification,” “coral

The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment report claims that the rate of sea level rise from 1993 to 2010 was roughly twice that from 1901 to 2010, offering one of the strongest reasons for alarm about anthropogenic global warming. But a major review by Kenneth Richard of recent journal publications on the subject
