NASA: ‘Not Confident’ We Can Model Clouds

Written by Kenneth Richard

Cumulus cloud - Wikipedia

NASA has conceded that climate models lack the precision required to make climate projections due to the inability to accurately model clouds.

Clouds have the capacity to dramatically influence climate changes in both radiative longwave (the “greenhouse effect”) and shortwave.

Michael Mann And His Tree-Ring Circus

Written by Daniel John Sobieski

This has been a tough week for climate hustler Michael Mann, who lost his defamation and libel lawsuit against respected climatologist and warming skeptic Dr. Tim Ball at the same time it was announced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that there has been no U.S. warming since 2005.

Science Goes Up In Rainforest Smoke

Written by David Whitehouse

Amazon rainforest fires

The idea that the Amazon rainforest is the lungs of the world is so embedded in our minds that few questioned its widespread use when news about fires in the Amazon was reported this summer.

The idea is everywhere—so it’s obviously true. Trees absorb carbon dioxide (bad), don’t they, and give off oxygen (good), and there are billions of trees in the Amazon, so surely it makes sense.

Cause cannot follow effect

Written by Bud Bromley

Cause And Effect | SociopathHell.Com

Climate alarmists would have you believe that increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide cause higher temperatures – they don’t.

Abstract: “The hypothesis that the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide is related to observable changes in the climate is tested using modern methods of time-series analysis. The results confirm that average global temperature is increasing, and that temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide are significantly correlated over the past thirty years. Changes in carbon dioxide content lag those in temperature by five months.”  (Note date: 22 February 1990)

How The Media Destroyed Rational Climate Debate

Written by Roy W Spencer PhD

media scary headlines

An old mantra of the news business is, “if it bleeds, it leads.” If someone was murdered, it is news. That virtually no one gets murdered is not news.

That, by itself, should tell you that the mainstream media cannot be relied upon as an unbiased source of climate change information.

Beginning Of The End For Climate Change Hysteria?

Written by Kathy Gyngell

mann congress testimony

It should come as a wake-up call to the MSM who so blindly follow the climate change fanatics’ doomsday prognostications.

This is the news that Michael Mann, the litigious climatologist at Penn State University who created the ‘hockey stick graph’ (which appears to show global temperatures taking a noticeable swing upward in the era when humanity has been burning fossil fuels and dumping CO2 into the atmosphere), has lost his lawsuit against climate change sceptic Dr Tim Ball, and has been ordered to pay his costs.

Climate scientists admit their models are wrong

Written by Bud Bromley

Climate scientists who support human-caused global warming, for example Ben Santer and Michael Mann, authored a peer reviewed paper which acknowledges that their climate models are wrong, although their admission is buried in weasel words and technical jargon:
