Cold Air Rises – a new study challenges climate model
A new study published by the University of California, Berkley; and funded by the David and Lucille Packard Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy has identified an unexpected aspect of energy movement through the atmosphere. Conventional wisdom is that … Continue reading

Scientific analysis of the effect of CO2 on global temperature change
A central tenet of the theory of anthropogenic global warming is that CO2 emissions are the primary driver of the rise in global temperature observed since the 1970s, and by correlation, of the temperature increases observed since the start of … Continue reading

Ocean acidification impact on coral reef fish behaviour
I’ve seen and heard concerns regarding the potential impact of increased dissolved CO2 in our oceans. Adding CO2 will lower the pH of the oceans. The process is called ‘acidification’, although there is no risk that the oceans would substantially … Continue reading

The primary driver of climate change is cloud cover, not CO2
A study has been published in the Russian Academy of Science. Using satellite data, the authors have correlated temperature change with CO2 and cloud cover, and found that there is a correlation of 0.316 for cloud cover. The link to … Continue reading

Increasing CO2 shown to have negative greenhouse effect in Antarctica
Schmithüsen et al. (2015) have demonstrated that increasing CO2 leads to an increased negative greenhouse effect in Antarctica. They state: CO2 is the strongest anthropogenic forcing agent for climate change since preindustrial times. Like other greenhouse gases, CO2 absorbs terrestrial … Continue reading

Increasing organic farming likely to increase carbon emissions
A study in Nature has sought to measure the greenhouse gas impacts of converting food production in England and Wales to organic methods. The study by Smith et al. identifited that agriculture is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas … Continue reading

Climate models underestimate cooling effect of daily cloud cycle
Cloud formation is part of the hydrological cycle. The climate models that scientists use to project future conditions appear to underestimate the cooling effect that clouds have on a daily — and even hourly — basis, particularly over land. A study … Continue reading
