What is a “climate crisis?”

How to measure the impact of climate change objectively.

An Orwellian firing at the American Journal of Economics and Sociology

By Andy May Well, it is official, Marty Rowland PhD has been fired from his position as Special Issue Editor at the American Journal of Economics and Sociology (AJES). The reason he was given for being fired was his publication of our paper, Carbon Dioxide and a Warming Climate are not problems. The paper hasContinue reading “An Orwellian firing at the American Journal of Economics and Sociology”

Climate Oscillations 12: The Causes & Significance

The connection between orbital mechanics, solar variability and climate is complex.

Climate Oscillations 11: Oceanic Niño Index (ONI)

By Andy May The Oceanic Niño Index or ONI is NOAA’s primarily indicator for monitoring the sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly in the critical Niño 3.4 region. It is a 3-month running mean of ERSST.v5 SST anomalies in the Niño 3.4 region, defined as 5°N-5°S and 120°W-170°W. Figure 1 shows the ONI as computed fromContinue reading “Climate Oscillations 11: Oceanic Niño Index (ONI)”

Climate Oscillations 10: Aleutian Low – Beaufort Sea Anticyclone (ALBSA)

The Aleutian Low – Beaufort Sea Anticyclone climate index or ALBSA is designed to predict snow and ice melting times on the North Slope of Alaska.

Climate Oscillations 9: Arctic & North Atlantic Oscillations

The AO and NAO are the dominant modes of climate variability in the Northern Hemisphere and neither of them can be reproduced using climate model output.

Climate Oscillations 8: The NPI and PDO

The NPI and PDO are closely related and do not correlate well with global warming.

Review of Politics and Climate Change

Now that the dangerous climate change myth has been discredited, the stories about the people, both the villains and the heroes, behind the scenes are more interesting.

Climate Oscillations 7: The Pacific Mean SST

Does HadCRUT5 accurately reflect the warming rate of Earth’s surface? How do Pacific Ocean SSTs compare?

Climate Oscillations 6: Atlantic Meridional Mode (AMM)

The AMM, or the Atlantic Meridional Mode, is closely related to Atlantic hurricane activity and poorly modeled in climate models.
