By Jo Nova A little tiny delated backdown from extreme climate hype begins In 2018, a study of aerial photos of 700 Pacific Islands showed that 89% were the same size or growing.

By Andy May Wow! Our new paper “Carbon Dioxide and a Warming Climate are not problems,” in the American Journal of Economics and Sociology has struck a nerve, judging by the traffic about it on twitter.

By Andy May Tinus Pulles critique of our paper begins by admitting that, at present there are no adverse effects from climate change, but that we ignored possible future climate change effects. This was deliberate, as we wanted to deal only with established and observed facts and data. Climate model projections of the effects of climate change are highly [...] The post Tinus Pulles Critique of May and Crok, 2024 appeared first on Clintel.

By Andy May In an interesting linkedin debate between Tinus Pulles and me, two subjects came up that are related to one another and too complicated for a comment.
