Natural variability rules in Antarctica. Scientists have identified clouds, wind, and localized solar heating – not CO2 – as the factors driving ice melt; rising CO2 leads to Antarctic cooling.
So this is it: the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. In 2016, a survey showed that 52 percent of the British public thought that Apollo missions were faked. Skepticism is highest among those who were too young to see it live on TV: 73 percent of aged 25-34 believe we didn’t land on the moon, compared to 38 percent of those aged 55 or more. These numbers seem to be rising every year.
The answer to the question—What determines the minimum possible daily air temperature?—is not likely the daily solar radiation. For most of us have experienced that once the sun sets, the air temperature, which we commonly measure, begins to decrease.
The title of this article is from its description of a new physics that is a fundamental break from past theories. It is the next step in the progress of physics from Aristotle, to Galileo, to Newton, to Einstein.
Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in America. While deaths from seven out of those 10 causes are decreasing, the rate at which people take their own lives has risen dramatically over the past two decades.
Sand deposits near the Gobi Desert in China may seem a strange place to look for evidence that cosmic rays can control how clouds are formed and the impact they have on Earth’s climate.
There’s a remarkable confusion in the modern debate over energy sources. Informed by geological rather than economic considerations, energy sources and some raw materials are thought of either as “Renewables” or “Non-Renewables” — and the former is somehow much preferred to the later.
A new study conducted by a Finnish research team has found little evidence to support the idea of man-made climate change. The results of the study were soon corroborated by researchers in Japan.
It’s in the Guardian, so you will probably want to discount its factual accuracy anyway, but if by some mischance they have got it right, well it sounds great, I’m sure you’ll agree.
New study exposes statistical incompetence in public investment projects; research is being contaminated by subjective bias. Too much research work does not meet basic standards of validity and reliability.
Posted July 10, 2019 by Elsevier in papers.ssrn.com is ‘On De-Bunking ‘Fake News’ in the Post-Truth Era: How to Reduce Statistical Error in Research‘ which addresses the crisis of modern scientific research for ‘garbage in, garbage’ data misuse.
250,000 years ago, the polar ice caps expanded widely and deeply. They didn’t start melting back until 26,500 to 10,000 years ago.
There are those who do the usual human thing, boasting or accusing others of racial and ethnic inferiority, or of privilege or superiority. Are they missing the most important, glorious and beautiful points?
In this video I give another empirical demonstration, using a magnifying glass, that basic climate theory and its resulting political weather alarmism is fundamentally flawed at its basis and that the entire field of climate science is basically pseudoscience that even children can refute.
The book, ‘Climate Change Reconsidered II: Fossil Fuels’ is available online for free, in PDF format, at ClimateChangeReconsidered.org. This publication consists of a large book (768 pages) including a 23 page Summary for Policymakers which is also presented as a separate booklet.
