Real Climate Physics vs. Fake Political Physics

Written by Joseph E Postma

In this video I answer a question from a previous upload where a commentator asks about the origin and meaning of the oft-quoted “-18C solar input” which I frequently refer to.

In answering the question I give a mini science lesson comparing rational and good physics to the fake physics of political climate science.

About 5 years ago I was convinced that global warming could not be caused by the Green house effect.

After all, in the last 200 years it has happened four times that the global temperature dropped while the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere kept rising.

1,200 Papers Affirm Medieval Warm Period Was Global

Written by Pierre Gosselin

08 | January | 2013

More than 1,200 publications show the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) was global – an embarrassment to global warming alarmists who claimed it was regional.

Global-warming-alarmist scientists like claiming that the well-documented Medieval Warm Period (MWP) was mostly a regional, North Atlantic phenomenon, and was not global, and so we should just move along and stop questioning man-made global warming.

A common ‘greenhouse gas’ could be repurposed in an efficient and environmentally friendly way with an electrolyzer that uses renewable electricity to produce pure liquid fuels.

Rice postdoctoral researcher Chuan Xia, left, and chemical and biomolecular engineer Haotian Wang adjust their electrocatalysis reactor to produce liquid formic acid from carbon dioxide.

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.
