By random chance I happened to be around to see the NATO protests today in Chicago. The protests were an interesting amalgam of groups to say the least. The central tenet of the protest is that the government spends too much money on war and not enough on jobs. There were many anti free market [...]
I will be attending the upcoming conference in Chicago this week. I will be providing updates on things that I find interesting over the next few days. Having never attended anything like this before I am not sure what to expect, but I hope that I will be able to spark some interesting discussions there.
A relevant quote of what I expect to find is “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” To me it seems that the same arguments are repeated over and over again with the expectation that pointing out UHI flaws is going to win the debate. The key as I see it is to understand the climate as a whole. That is what is missing and the reason I wrote the book and have this website is to change the nature of the debate. Wish me luck.
Next week I plan on making a big push to get this information out to many, many people. This is one of the key topics that is covered in my book. It is not the only critical topic, but this one by itself is enough to demonstrate in a scientific way that warming as described by The Theory of Global Warming is impossible. My goal is to present this and related information to a wide audience next week. Wish me luck.
Since last week’s article generated a lot of interest and requests for more information, I decided to write a follow-up on the previous article. The point of the article was to demonstrate that the seasonal temperature response varies by altitude. So different are the responses that it is clear that the troposphere and the stratosphere are responding to different inputs. The temperature of the troposphere is primarily driven by the combination of geography and season at the Earth’s surface. The stratospheric temperature is driven by the daily energy the Earth gets from the Sun as dictated by the distance the Earth is from the Sun. You can look back at the previous article for more details.
Any serious discussion about the Theory of Global Warming will eventually include the absorption band argument that started more than 100 years ago between Arrhenius and Ångström. One of the arguments presented by Ångström was that the main CO2 absorption band is between 14-16 micron and that band is also absorbed by water vapor (which [...]
I will gladly discuss the science of global warming with anyone. Interestingly enough there is a strong desire to avoid discussing the science from many warmists because they simply state that the issue is settled and it is time to act. With that mindset in place I am starting to see some disturbing attitudes developing. I recently came across an interview of Naomi Klain. She is an author and is a consistent social activist and strongly anti-corporate. Her work is consistently against the free market. Even with that in mind, her latest interview is rather disturbing.
Over the past few years there have been a number of news articles about the imminent disappearance of all the glaciers in the Himalayas. I won’t go into the detail of the IPCC report that predicted their demise by the year 2035, but it did happen. All of this is silly because that is not how the Earth’s climate behaves. Every source of climate information in the Northern Hemisphere shows that the Earth experienced the warmest climate of the last 100,000 years bout 6,000 years ago and since then (especially over the past 4,000 years) the Northern Hemisphere has been experiencing a gradual cooling. That does not mean that each century is colder than the one before, but it means that each millennium is colder than the one before.
As I noted last week, there is a new article in Nature that tries very hard to prove that CO2 increased prior to the warming at the onset of the current interglacial which is known as the Holocene. I read the article and was stunned by the conclusion and the charts which clearly showed that the warming took place after the CO2 rose. Since I have extensively studied much of the available data from the period 10-20k years ago, I knew right away that this paper did not give the same conclusion as any of the other data.
There is a news article getting lots of attention that temporarily gave me tourettes. I will be putting together an extensive article discussing this by next Monday, but alas my time is limited for the next few days. In essence the claim being made is that this latest paper proves that increasing CO2 is what [...]
One of the main points that I have been making on this website and in my book is that the Earth was much warmer 6,000 years ago than it is today. In the book I point out many examples of glaciers that have only formed in the past few thousand years. I am always looking at new data as it becomes available and recently there was a nice study in Quaternary Research that did a study on glacial activity in Norway for the past ~8,000 years.
