Climate Change and the Mitigation Myth
Climate Change and the Mitigation Myth It is not nice to be told that you have been diagnosed with a terminal condition. It is even worse to be given false hope that if you did this or that you could mitigate the problem or turn it around when it cannot. If a medical practitioner does […]
Anthropogenic CO2 Emissions are Fate
Anthropogenic CO2 Emissions are Fate Mill, Halsey, Oregon. Photo: Jeffrey St. Clair. I developed a model of Global Warming based on the anthropogenic perturbation of the Carbon Cycle. The essence of this model is a rate equation for the evolution of the carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in the atmosphere. The interesting results from this model […]
Bombshell Claim: Scientists Find “Man-made Climate Change Doesn’t Exist In Practice”
Bombshell Claim: Scientists Find “Man-made Climate Change Doesn’t Exist In Practice” A new scientific study could bust wide open deeply flawed fundamental assumptions underlying controversial climate legislation and initiatives such as the Green New Deal, namely, the degree to which ‘climate change’ is driven by natural phenomena vs. man-made issues measured as carbon footprint. Scientists in Finland […]
Climate Change was No Accident
Climate Change was No Accident Years ago, tobacco companies discovered the link between their products and lung cancer. Did they warn their customers? No — they denied the link entirely, misleading the public for decades while killing their customers. Similarly, ExxonMobil scientists made startlingly accurate predictionsabout climate change as early as 1982 — and then spent millions […]
Climate Change: Real – Fake – Exaggerated?
Climate Change: Real – Fake – Exaggerated? QUESTION: I find it interesting that you are against human-induced global warming yet you confirm that climate change is natural. You seem to be in the middle of these arguments. You warned that solar activity was declining and there was a risk of going into a mini ice-age, but you […]
Evidence of Human-Caused Climate Crisis Has Now Reached ‘Gold Standard’-Level Certainty, Scientists Say
Evidence of Human-Caused Climate Crisis Has Now Reached ‘Gold Standard’-Level Certainty, Scientists Say “There’s a one-in-a-million chance humans are NOT warming the planet. A new report offers “gold standard”-level certainty that humans are contributing to the climate crisis, leading to rising sea levels, melting glaciers, and extreme weather events. (Photo: Christopher Michel/Flickr/cc) Most Americans now recognize […]
Where No Corn Has Grown Before: Better Living Through Climate Change?
Where No Corn Has Grown Before: Better Living Through Climate Change? Photo Source Phil Roeder | CC BY 2.0 The growing season used to be too short to grow corn in Alberta. That’s no longer true, according to a front page story in the November 26 Wall Street Journal: “Warming Climate Pushes Corn North.” Thanks […]
Fact-checking the second volume of the U.S. National Climate Assessment
Fact-checking the second volume of the U.S. National Climate Assessment This recently-issued study (the “Assessment”) was seized on by the media as proof of the massive damage the US will suffer if nothing is done about climate change. The Assessment’s conclusions are based largely on speculative model projections that aren’t amenable to checking, but it […]
We need a new common consciousness of what’s necessary and possible to curb climate change.
We need a new common consciousness of what’s necessary and possible to curb climate change. Cultural resistance to the need for a fundamental, urgent, unprecedented rethink of the way we conduct life in order to limit temperature rise is continuously fed by the apparently affirmative but actually misleading words of charismatic thinkers such as Rutger […]
Ocean Warming Study Criticism Shows How the Scientific Method Works
Ocean Warming Study Criticism Shows How the Scientific Method Works Errors in a recent ocean warming study illustrate global warming’s complexity. They also show the depths to which climate science deniers will stoop to dismiss or downplay evidence for human-caused climate change. The study by researchers from the U.S., China, France and Germany concluded, “ocean warming […]
Why This Planet Is Becoming Uninhabitable
Why This Planet Is Becoming Uninhabitable And Even Trump Now Acknowledges that Man-Made Global Warming Spells Doom There are now overt indications that this planet is becoming uninhabitable. Not only are increasing numbers of humans migrating from near the Equator, northward toward nations that have more temperate climates, but also there are stronger and more […]
Culture and climate
Culture and climate My purpose is to show that if cultures are to end further acceleration of the climate change they are causing, then new ways of life must be found, which no longer cause it. Tinkering with improvements to our current ways of life is futile. We must each of us change how we […]
The Difference Between Climate Change Caused By Humans and Those of Milankovitch Cycles
The Difference Between Climate Change Caused By Humans and Those of Milankovitch Cycles As I knew would happen, my review of the very serious and heavily documented book, Unprecedented Crime (https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2018/10/26/global-warming-is-real-the-threat-is-real-ecocide-is-on-the-horizon/ ) resulted in condemnations from the fossil fuel industry’s trolls and from libertarians who think that global warming is a scheme for government to […]
The Anthropocene’s Birthday, or the Birth-Year of Human-Accelerated Climate Change
The Anthropocene’s Birthday, or the Birth-Year of Human-Accelerated Climate Change Scientists have found a major spike in the amount of Carbon-14 within the tree rings of “The Loneliest Tree In The World,” which ring corresponds to October-December 1965. This tree is a Sitka Spruce, a species from the American Northwest (and into Canada) that was […]
Global Warming Zaps Oxygen
Global Warming Zaps Oxygen Photo by Todd Huffman | CC BY 2.0 Take a deep breath. A recent scientific study reveals disturbing loss of ocean oxygen. Unnerving climatic events like this justify ringing and clanging of the bells on the Public Square, all hands on deck. In particular, and as expected, the culprit is too […]
