Here’s award-winning Princeton University Physicist Dr. Will Happer “Polar vortices have been around forever. They have almost nothing to do with more CO2 in the atmosphere,†Happer said in an exclusive interview with Climate Depot. There’s “no evidence of any unusual or unprecedented changes in the latitude or speed of the North Atlantic jet stream […]

What a change religiosity, er, 40 years makes (via Steven Goddard) Scientists have found other indications of global cooling. For one thing there has been a noticeable expansion of the great belt of dry, high-altitude polar winds —the so-called circumpolar vortex—that sweep from west to east around the top and bottom of the world. That’s […]

Following on the heels of 1,000 new cold records set around Thanksgiving, and 2,000 cold and snow records during the early part of December, and yet another big snowstorm hitting the North East, and a big blast of cold on Thursday through Friday, well, “climate change” will do its thing again, all because you, yes, […]

You do have to admire the stick-to-it-ness of Warmists, who are more dogmatic than followers of Charles Manson and Jim Jones, Heaven’s Gate Church or Westboro Baptist nuts (Telegraph) As the planet marked its fourth hottest year on record, a study published in the journal Nature found increasing levels of carbon dioxide will lead to […]

More and more news outlets, along with other web outlets such as Reddit Science, are banning “skeptics” because of Free Speech or something, the something being that they are pretty much afraid to debate and have their cult disinfected with sunlight. Here’s Jo Nova on The Australian The giant boondoggle is coming undone. What makes […]

Happy New Year’s! Welcome to 2014, and the 4th year of my prediction challenge, which virtually no Warmists will take. And one year closer to End Of Life As We Know it. 2150 and 2200 are fast approaching, the primary dates that the climate alarmists always want to use to denote when Earth is going […]

I’ve been rather remiss in covering this hilarious story. Anthony Watts notes that it is best summed up by this Tweet https://twitter.com/ElBuehn/statuses/416608616070664192 The BBC writes A third attempt to rescue a ship stranded off East Antarctica since Tuesday has failed because of fierce winds and poor visibility.

Here’s the first (The Hockey Schtick) A paper published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters finds solar activity was strongly correlated to climate change over the past 200,000 years. The paper reconstructs solar geomagnetic field strength using the 10Be isotope proxy of cosmic rays, which is inversely related to solar activity. The reconstruction in Figure […]
