The solar aa index predicts global sea surface temperatures to 2000 better than CO2, and as well as CO2 combined with the aa index. After 2000 CO2 is needed in the regression.

Is the Ocean Surface a boundary condition?
The ocean skin layer is not a boundary condition or infinitesimally small surface and should not be treated as such.
Efficacy of downwelling IR
Is 90% of increasing ocean heat content due to man-made greenhouse gases as claimed by the consensus and the IPCC?
The Neoglacial Period
Solar variability did contribute to climate change over the past 1,000 years.
Holocene Glacier Records
Recent glacial records do not support the idea of anthropogenic global warming.
Holocene Warming
It is highly unlikely that today is the warmest Earth has been in the past 6,800-7,800 years or that today’s warming is unprecedented.
Re-evaluating the Concern of Climate Change
By Andy May I’ve just been made aware of a paper critical of the “consensus” view that man-made climate change is dangerous. It is by Ashutosh Sharma, Vinit Vithalrai Shenvi, and Mohit Sain of the MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology in India (or MSRIT) (Sharma et al., 2024). It was published just two months beforeContinue reading “Re-evaluating the Concern of Climate Change”
The Cost of Wind and Solar Power Backup
Wind and solar are a burden on the Texas grid, not a productive addition.
Weather Reanalysis Models
Weather reanalysis models, like MERRA-2 and ERA5, are not observations.
