We can add it to the list, via Climate Depot Climate Depot Analysis: ‘There have been at least nine separate explanations for the standstill in global warming’ — 1) Low Solar Activity; 2) Oceans Ate Warming; 3) Chinese Coal Use; 4) Montreal Protocol; 5) Readjusted past temps to claim ‘pause’ never existed 6) Volcanoes 7) […]

No, seriously (WRAL) Appearing on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” Sunday to talk about the winter storm that shut down the state last week, Gov. Pat McCrory sidestepped a pointed question about his position on climate change. The question from host Bob Schieffer came at the end of a segment on North Carolina’s response to […]

Surprise? This comes via The Hockey Schtick, a Wall Street Journal poll on the state of the union and what Americans care about, along with Obama’s approval rating. Here’s the chart Humorously, when Obama started yammering about “climate change” the Gore Effect kicked in, with light snow starting in D.C. And why should people care? […]

Is this what Warmists mean when they yammer on about the dangers of “climate change” (Accuweather) The next blast of brutal cold will grip most of the eastern two-thirds of the United States early this week and could yield the lowest temperatures so far this winter in many communities. While harsh cold is returning to […]

Surprisingly, this is one of the few papers that actually makes sense, to a degree (via Watts Up With That?) Reduced Solar Activity Disguises Global Temperature Rise DOI: 10.4236/acs.2014.41008 Author: Peter Stauning ABSTRACT The question whether human activities seriously affect climate is asked with increasing voice these days. Quite understandable since the climate appears to […]

I’m not quite sure how this helps the “climate change” narrative, as hyper-Warmist Seth Borenstein pushes the cult (AP) We’ve become weather wimps. As the world warms, the United States is getting fewer bitter cold spells like the one that gripped much of the nation this week. So when a deep freeze strikes, scientists say, […]

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 […]

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, […]

Yesterday, Anthony Watts noted that the Australian ship, Aurora Australis, was having lots and lots of trouble with all that climate change ice, and had slowed to a crawl, with no open water in sight. Well, there’s a problem with the Chinese vessel, too (Fox News) An Australian icebreaker carrying 52 passengers who were retrieved […]

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 […]

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 […]

We’re almost to Climate Christmas, folks, just today and tomorrow Survival Guide For Climate Change Debates When extended family gets together over the holidays, dinner conversations can sometimes be awkward — such as when your uncle from South Carolina talks politics with your niece from the Bay Area. When thorny questions about climate change arise […]

If only those darned people during the Roman and Medieval Warm Periods didn’t drive fossil fueled vehicles and leave their appliances plugged in when not in use. And hair spray! They used lots of hair spray! I’ve seen the movies! (Daily Caller) If you think the Earth is hot now, try wearing plate armor in […]

I had a brief Twitter debate with a Warmist Sunday afternoon, brief on my part, because I had to bow out due to other obligations, and noted https://twitter.com/WilliamTeach/status/409816181496107008 The way Warmists have positioned “climate change” means there is no way to ever disprove it, the same as a cult. That’s how we end up with […]

As always, I’ll stay skeptical, and say that I will believe it when I see it (Daily Caller) Better start investing in some warm clothes because German scientists are predicting that the Earth will cool over the next century. German scientists found that two naturally occurring cycles will combine to lower global temperatures during the […]

Warmists have been trotting out a meme that there has been no pause at all, that the warming was double what was previously thought (just to be clear, what is called a pause was actually statistically insignificant warming, 0.28 since 1990 and 0.14 since 1997, though the data does show a declining temperature since 2000). […]

Who would have thought it? (IBD) The United Nations climate chief blames the Philippines devastation on climate change, ignoring the historical record that 33 of the 35 most devastating storms occurred with CO2 below current levels. One can appreciate the genuine grief felt by an emotional Naderev “Yeb” Sano as the delegate from a Philippines […]

The average sea rise over the last 7,000-8,000 years is 6-8 inches per century. As I’ve explained before, we use the 7,000-8,000 year figure due to that being the time when the massive sea rise post-glacial period leveled out (relatively). When we discuss averages, we have to consider that when the Earth is in a […]
