Matthew Courtney, Watts Up With That? Sad to announce that Richard S Courtney died on Monday 30th September 2024, the day before his 78th birthday, at his home in Falmouth, Cornwall, UK. He had been suffering from the effects of cancer and its treatment for a long time. Coincidentally, this was the day the last coal-fired […]
by Richard S. Courtney New plot to compare with Figure 1 Compare Richard Courtney’s Figure 1 with the figure below that I (Ed) plotted using IPCC-approved data with monthly resolution with the bonus that the data extend to 2015. The plot shows that Richard Courtney’s Figure 1 is correct. The annual change in the Mauna
by Ed Berry, Ph.D., Physics On September 7, I will present a summary of my climate research to scientists at the international climate conference, “Basic Science of a Changing Climate,” at Porto University, Portugal. On September 11, I will present the same talk but slower to a public audience in Kalispell, Montana. Roger Roots, J.D., Ph.D.,
by E.X Berry and K.W. Nielsen, 1966 In January 1966, four explorers flew the Desert Research Institute Beechcraft C-45 through Old Faithful Geyser and other geyser plumes in Yellowstone National Park, USA. (After Ed received his PhD degree in 1965, DRI Director Wendell Mordy made him the manager of DRI’s Airborne Research Facility. That’s why
“I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and
by Michael Trigoboff, Ph.D., Computer Science Dep’t, Portland Community College Philosophers Michael R. Nelson and Kathleen Dean Moore seem to think that everyone who disagrees with them on scientific issues related to global warming is evil. I am more of a scientist then either of them and I disagree with them, but not because I’m evil. I’m skeptical
This lyrical misadventure is the result of hasty two-night extra-credit project I did many years ago for a physics class in high school. Frankly, looking back, some of these lines are pretty awful.. I’ve kept this up on the Web because people seem to like it, not because lines like “electrodynamics is more than playing
Click here to get the full report. This report is signed by over 1000 scientists. Compare this to the only 52, only a few of whom were scientists, who authored the IPCC Summary Report. Here are selected remarks from scientists: “Unfortunately, Climate Science has become Political Science…It is tragic that some perhaps well-meaning but politically
by Vaclav Klaus Hilton Hotel, Portland, Oregon, September 30, 2008: During my visits in the US in the last 19 years, I made speeches on a wide range of topics. There was, however, always a connection between them. They were all about freedom and about threats endangering it. Global warming is about freedom. It’s not
by Vaclav Klaus My answer to this question is very clear and straightforward: “Endangered is freedom. Climate is OK.” After spending several years studying this issue I came to the conclusion we were deceived. The Great Global Warming Debate is not about temperature or CO2 levels. It is not a scientific dispute inside climatology. The
Dr. Vaclav Klaus warns: Environmentalism as a metaphysical ideology and as a worldview has absolutely nothing to do with natural sciences or the climate itself. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with social sciences either. Environmentalism, not preservation of nature (and of environment), is a leftist ideology. Environmentalism is a vehicle for bringing socialist government
“Global Warming worse than Terrorism”: By Dr. Tim Ball Monday, June 23, 2008 At a 2004 conference of the Russian National Academy of Sciences Sir David King, Chief Scientific Adviser to Tony Blair’s government made the startling statement that, “Global warming is worse than terrorism.” He was right, but not as he intended. The false premise
by Dr. Tim Ball In previous parts of this series (Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), I identified the deliberate process by which climate science was hijacked to establish a political agenda of undermining developed industrialized nations. Maurice Strong and then others used UN agencies to control the science and the politics
By Dr. Tim Ball In previous parts of this series (Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) I’ve shown how a political agenda took over climate science primarily through the UN and specifically the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The agenda was
