CSS-47 I have looked at Sea Level rise a few times recently (links below). This post just adds another perspective by comparing three different data sets. The main take away … Read more

CSS-46 I have looked at sea levels and their relationship to climate change many times in the past. I was recently fact checked on a document that reviewed an RBC … Read more

CSS-45 In my previous looks at Antarctica, I had used either the Vostok (earlier on) or the EPICA Dome C (more recently) ice core data for temperatures. I switched to … Read more

CSS-44 The relentless bombardment continues. We are told that we are constantly experiencing the hottest day, month, year EVER, and unprecedented extreme weather, etc.! Those claims, in general, can be … Read more

CSS-43 This post is an add-on to my last post (CSS-42 – The Role of the Sun – Scafetta 2023). CSS-42 focused more on development of Scafetta’s solar activity/forcing reconstructions … Read more

CSS-42 The primary purpose of this post is to introduce Nicola Scaffeta’s most recent paper (“Empirical assessment of the role of the Sun in climate change using balanced multi-proxy solar … Read more

CSS-41 As I speculated back in early April (OPS-67 – US-Canada – 2022 Forest Fires), the CAGW alarmist community would ramp up the propaganda if there were any major fire … Read more

CSS-40 A very important development just manifested in “climate change” science. Many thanks to Prof. Ross McKitrick for bringing that information to our attention (The important climate study you won’t hear … Read more

CSS-39 Recently, I have noticed a lot of temperature plots that only show the estimated (i.e.: homogenized, manipulated) surface temperature rise from around 1965 to the present. These plots are … Read more

CSS-38 I do get tired of seeing the many variations of the CAGW alarmist stripe chart. Virtually every version is cherry picked to start at the end of the Dalton … Read more

CSS-37 I have, in the past, talked about hurricanes and tropical storms. But my data was limited to the number of storms/hurricanes. And contrary to the CAGW narrative, the number … Read more

CSS-36 “Climate Change” is an existential threat. Is that statement true? Well, that depends on your definition of “Climate Change”. If you follow/believe/worship the simplistic, unscientific Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming … Read more

CSS-35 When I first started writing on the “Climate Change” topic (my Open Letter to the World and a subsequent Addendum), I put out a graphic that showed the global temperature … Read more

CSS-34 This is my second post on the University of Alabama, Huntsville’s Lower Troposphere (UAH-LT) Temperature dataset in the last month. Normally I would not put out a UAH update … Read more

CSS-33 One of the bigger climate change scares has always been sea level rise. At best an irrational fear. Even in the worst-case emission scenarios ((SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5) dubbed as implausible … Read more

CSS-32 This post started out as a quick update to the University of Alabama, Huntsville’s Lower Troposphere Satellite Temperature data. But like everything related to Climate Science (in the real … Read more

CSS-28 The glaciers (like the temperatures) in Greenland are not cooperating with the Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming (CAGW) alarmist narrative. This post looks at the Petermann and Jakobshavn glaciers in … Read more

CSS-27 A very basic and important question of “climate science”. To start with there is no empirical Temperature/CO2 dataset that shows CO2 driving the climate on any statistically significant historical … Read more

CSS-26 In my recent CSS-23 – Greenland/Iceland – Homogenization post, I looked at homogenization (which is not as bad as most other places around the world, but still a problem) … Read more

CSS-25 Homogenization is the only significant tool that the Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming (CAGW) alarmists have left in their “scientific” arsenal. A tool that is quickly becoming harder to justify. … Read more

CSS-24 That question is a bit esoteric since the physical evidence will not be available for a few thousand years. But the question is important because it demonstrates one of the … Read more
