Claiming “natural variability” indicates: Not understood! posted January 15, 2017; Comment open Talking about “natural variability” is a sign that the research issue is not understood. But climate science loves the term. So do Chantal Camenisch and her 32 colleagues in their recent paper (A) concerning a climate reconstruction from a multitude of natural and Continue Reading
James Hansen’s Blindness
James Hansen’s Blindness on Big Climatic Events posted January 23, 2017 – Comments welcome Massive Data Tampering Uncovered At NASA? The subject was recently discussed at NTZ (and illustrated with multiple graphs). With regard to two events they indicate simultaneously the same: A steep rise in temperature after World War One (WWI), and a large Continue Reading

Global Cooling 1940 – 1975 explained for climate change experts Post 18 Februray 2017; Continued from: dr-judith-curry-on-climate-sciences-fatal-flaw/ & warm-up-1918-1939-explained-for-dr-judith-curry-and-other/ In the previous post we lauded Dr. Judith Curry for her recent statement: “If science can’t explain climate shifts pre 1950, how can we trust today’s climate models?” One of these two shifts was the Continue Reading
The SST Discontinuity in the 1940s – But no answer
The SST Discontinuity in the 1940s – But no answer Post 25 February 2017 ; Comments welcome Few years ago David W.J. Thompson at al. attempt to explain “A large discontinuity in the mid-twentieth century in observed global-mean surface temperature“, published in NATURE, [Vol.453, 29May2008]. Whereas they confirmed that the Earth warmed from 1910 to1940 Continue Reading
Judith Curry explains inherent flaws of computer models
Oceans leave computer predictions no chance A paper by Judith Curry explains inherent flaws of computer models predicting future climate change (GWPF, Feb. 2017) Post February 28, 2017 Not the ocean dimension and system is primarily to blame for flawed climate models but science, which does not recognizing that they have far too few data, Continue Reading
Japan under fire – cold is guaranteed – war-winter 1944/45
Japan under fire – cold is guaranteed – war-winter 1944/45 Posted March 10. 2017 – Comments welcome The easiest way to grasp how climate works is to: Shell and bomb Japan severely over a couple of weeks and you will get an extreme cold winter in Japan. Here is the proof. Since late autumn 1944 Continue Reading
Extraordinary sea ice case 1917 ignored
North Atlantic sea ice in summer 1917 could teach climate science many lessons. Post March 15, 2017; Source: http://www.arctic-warming.com/ Never has such a high sea ice extent been observed in the North Atlantic as in summer 1917 (Fig.1a-1b). This exceptional case has never been investigated. Worst! Science seems not to have taken notice of it, Continue Reading
