Wash your Trash! Is recycling working?

By Andy May The recycling movement started in the 1970s and it has been very popular in Western countries. Participation varies with location, but in our small community of The Woodlands, Texas, over 90% participate in our curbside recycling program. However, the value of recycled materials has fallen dramatically in recent years because far tooContinue reading “Wash your Trash! Is recycling working?”

Climate Change is not a problem: Unless we make it one.

Guest Post by Martin Capages Jr. PhD PE INTRODUCTION As long as humans have been on Earth, they have been adapting to changes in regional climates. A regional climate is the average of the weather for a relatively long period of time, usually 30+ years, at a particular location on the planet. The natural periodicityContinue reading “Climate Change is not a problem: Unless we make it one.”

THE CORONA EPIDEMIC – A DANGEROUS AND A LESS DANGEROUS FORM?

Guest Post by Wim Röst Abstract Nearly all the deadly infections of the corona virus are localized in the centre of the epidemic in and near Wuhan in the province of Hubei, China. This analysis leads to two main types of contamination: 1) breathing in the virus after a nearby contaminated person coughs or sneezesContinue reading “THE CORONA EPIDEMIC – A DANGEROUS AND A LESS DANGEROUS FORM?”

Obama and Trump’s alleged crimes

By Andy May We have recently seen that Trump and his administration have not been accused of committing any crimes, other than those related to the improper spying on and interfering with his campaign by Obama holdovers, like Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Brennan, Clapper and others (link). These latter people have all been fired orContinue reading “Obama and Trump’s alleged crimes”

Earth’s Ice Ages

By Andy May The phrase “Ice Age” is poorly defined and often abused, so let’s first define the climate state during most ice ages. It is called “Icehouse Earth.” The earth is in an icehouse state when either or both poles are covered in a thick, permanent icecap (Scotese 2015). Today, both poles are coveredContinue reading “Earth’s Ice Ages”

The big Arctic Sea-Ice shift of 2007: Ice refuses to melt

by Javier I have maintained since 2015 that in the 2006-2007 season the Arctic underwent a cyclical phase shift, and the rapid sea-ice melting observed over the previous decades ended. A few scientists predicted or explained this shift based on their study of multi-decadal oscillations (see bibliography). They were ignored by mainstream climatology and theContinue reading “The big Arctic Sea-Ice shift of 2007: Ice refuses to melt”

Strong Arctic sea-ice growth this year

Guest Post by Javier February is not over, and Arctic sea-ice extent is already over half a million square kilometers higher than last year at this day. The growing season has not ended, and 2019 Arctic sea-ice extent is already higher than the previous four years and six out of the last 14 years.  Continue reading “Strong Arctic sea-ice growth this year”

Why the Green New Deal is a Bad Deal for America

Dr. Martin Capages has written an excellent new book entitled Why the Green New Deal is a Bad Deal for America. He very effectively deconstructs the “Green New Deal.” He kindly asked me to write the Foreward for the book, so I am posting a slightly revised version here. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is only the latest,Continue reading “Why the Green New Deal is a Bad Deal for America”

The planet is no longer warming

By Javier We define “warming” as a positive rate of temperature change over time. According to the main hypothesis, warming since 1951 has been due almost exclusively to the increase in GHGs (greenhouse gases), of which CO2 is the most important one. The IPCC does not find anything else that has contributed to the observedContinue reading “The planet is no longer warming”

Modern Climate Wavelet Patterns

Guest Post by Renee Hannon Wavelet analyses of modern global temperature anomalies provides an excellent visualization tool of temperature signal characteristics and patterns over the past 150 years. Scafetta recognized key temperature oscillations of about 9, 20 and 60-years using power spectra of global surface temperature anomalies. There has been much discussion about the 60-yearContinue reading “Modern Climate Wavelet Patterns”
