The big problem today is that climate models are not fit-for-purpose, says Clintel co-founder dr. Guus Berkhout. They do not reflect the real world. That is the reason why the Net Zero policy does not work. We need fundamental changes in climate science and climate policies. We now see that this message gets more and more support.

In a significant move for scientific accountability, a U.S. federal judge has removed a controversial climate change chapter from a key judicial reference manual. The decision challenges the dominance of model-based climate narratives in the courts and signals a renewed emphasis on empirical evidence and institutional integrity.

by Ross McKitrick Last year I had the privilege of working with a small team (me, Judy Curry, John Christy, Steve Koonin and Roy Spencer) on a draft report for U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright on the topic of climate … Continue reading → The post Clearing up some misconceptions about the DoE report appeared first on Climate Etc..

Alors que les États-Unis revoient leurs principales réglementations climatiques, la politique britannique ambitieuse vers la neutralité carbone suscite une attention croissante. Dans ce commentaire, Matt Ridley soutient que la décarbonation unilatérale risque d'isoler économiquement le Royaume-Uni, tandis qu'une grande partie du monde change de cap.

The Guardian behauptet, die Welt steuere auf einen klimatischen „Point of no Return“ zu, an dem eine unaufhaltsame Erwärmung die Erde in eine katastrophale „Treibhaus“-Zukunft zwingen werde. Die geologischen Aufzeichnungen erzählen jedoch eine ganz andere Geschichte. Frühere Perioden mit weitaus höheren Temperaturen und CO₂-Werten haben weder das Leben noch die Aussichten der Zivilisation beendet – sie haben vielmehr für Überfluss und evolutionäre Expansion gesorgt. The post Behauptung im Guardian: wir sind immer noch auf dem Weg zum Point of No Return appeared first on Clintel.

As the United States moves to reconsider key climate regulations, Britain’s aggressive push toward Net Zero is drawing increasing scrutiny. In this commentary, Matt Ridley argues that unilateral decarbonisation risks leaving the UK economically isolated while much of the world shifts course.

The alleged threat to the planet from human caused climate change has been at the forefront of Australian politics over the recent half century. Every year, just before meetings of the UN Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Climate Change Convention, slight increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide and global temperature are portrayed in the media as harbingers of future doom. Every extreme weather event is made out to be an ill omen of what is to come unless fossil fuels are eliminated.

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 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 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 Nic Lewis The determination of equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS)—the long-term warming response to doubled atmospheric CO2 concentrations—remains one of the most crucial yet challenging problems in climate science. Recent exchanges in the literature have highlighted both the complexity of … Continue reading → The post Addressing misconceptions about Climate Sensitivity research: a Response to recent Criticisms appeared first on Climate Etc..
