Awake Evidence

by Judith Curry A month has passed since the DOE climate assessment report was published.  It’s time to reflect on what we might learn from the responses to this Report.  Of particular relevance is the report that was issued earlier … Continue reading → The post DOE Climate Assessment Report: Feedback appeared first on Climate Etc..

by John Ridgway Any politician faced with the challenge of protecting the public from a natural threat, such as a pandemic or climate change, will be keen to stress how much they are ‘following the science’ — by which they … Continue reading → The post The Matthew Effect, Mono-cultures, and the Natural Selection of Bad Science appeared first on Climate Etc..

by John Ridgway In an earlier essay [1] I explained how positive feedbacks can lead to potentially problematic scientific mono-cultures. I also acknowledged that poor research design and data analysis had become commonplace within the behavioural sciences, largely as a … Continue reading → The post Natural Selection of Bad Science.

by Mila Zinkova Reassessing The Coldest March by Susan Solomon On Thursday, 29 March 1912, Captain Scott (1914) made the final entry in his Journal. He wrote:  Since the 21st we have had a continuous gale from W.S.W. and S.W. … Continue reading → The post Captain Scott’s 1912 Antarctic tragedy appeared first on Climate Etc..

by Javier Vinos We have been fortunate to witness the largest climate event to occur on the planet since the advent of global satellite records, and possibly the largest event since the eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815. It is … Continue reading → The post The 2023 climate event revealed the greatest failure of climate science appeared first on Climate Etc..

by Joe Nalven Towards improving AI architecture with a new paradigm Several years ago, I asked Bard (Google’s predecessor to Gemini) to craft an algorithm that would shift its climate change responses from catastrophism toward realism. Bard obliged. It generated … Continue reading → The post AI models and their “knowledge” of climate change appeared first on Climate Etc..

by Chris Morris People have queried what is happening in Australia with their push for a decarbonised all renewables/ Net Zero grid since the last update in 2023. The answer is not much progress but massive amounts of money spent. … Continue reading → The post Update on Australian NetZero efforts appeared first on Climate Etc..

Un article récent du New York Times examine les affirmations selon lesquelles le changement climatique pourrait aggraver les épisodes de froid extrême en hiver. Alors que certains scientifiques soutiennent que le réchauffement de l'Arctique déstabilise le vortex polaire, les données à long terme montrent une nette diminution des épisodes de froid extrême, remettant en question cette hypothèse. The post En effet, selon le New York Times, les scientifiques sont en désaccord sur le vortex polaire appeared first on Clintel.

Right, New York Times, Scientists Do Disagree on The Polar Vortex A recent New York Times article explores claims that climate change may be worsening winter cold extremes. While some scientists argue that Arctic warming destabilizes the polar vortex, long-term data show a clear decline in extreme cold events, challenging that narrative.

Dans cette analyse, le Dr Matthew Wielicki examine la conclusion de l'APE de 2009 sur la mise en danger, affirmant que la décision a été prise en réalité à l'avance et justifiée ultérieurement par un examen scientifique structuré, avec des conséquences importantes pour la réglementation climatique.

Kälteperioden werden in Debatten über den Klimawandel oft angeführt – aber was sagen sie uns wirklich? In diesem Artikel untersucht Fernando del Pino Calvo Sotelo, wie Regen, Schnee und niedrige Temperaturen in der Klimadiskussion interpretiert werden, und trennt dabei wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse von populären Darstellungen. The post Kälte, Regen und Schnee: Was uns das Wetter wirklich über den Klimawandel verrät appeared first on Clintel.

In this analysis, Dr. Matthew Wielicki examines the EPA’s 2009 Endangerment Finding, contending that the ruling was effectively decided in advance and later justified through a structured scientific review, with far-reaching consequences for climate regulation.
