New study: Clouds "play a crucial role in determining Earth's energy balance". Declining cloud cover has driven a 0.45 W/m²/decade increase in solar radiation reaching Earth's surface (2001-2024). The SW cloud radiative effect explains modern warming. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

Another day, another new study has sea levels 2.5 to 3.2 m higher than today from 7000-6000 years ago. This one is from the Arabian Sea (Oman). Sea levels were higher because less water was locked up on land as ice throughout the much warmer Mid-Holocene. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

New study: Early Holocene (11.7 - 8.2k) Arctic (Svalbard) temps "were up to 9°C higher than today." CO2 was 260 ppm. Svalbard cooled as CO2 rose for the next 8000 years. Model assumptions ironically have rising CO2 (RC 8.5) warming Svalbard 8°C by 2100. nature.com/articles/s4324…

New study: Africa's Atlantic coast sea levels were 0.8 to 4 meters higher than today 5000 to 1700 years ago. Antarctica was still contributing meltwater to rising sea levels until 2000 years ago. Sea level rise rates reached 25 mm/yr ~12,000 years ago. nature.com/articles/s4146…

New study: There has been a "marked cooling trend" across the North Atlantic in recent decades. This includes ocean heat content decline (OHC) since the 2000s, and cooling sea surface temperatures (SST) since the mid-1990s. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New study: 10,000 to 6000 years ago corals grew at 6 mm/yr rates due to increasing accommodation space. Sea levels have declined ~2 m since, leading to a coral growth hiatus (~2-3 mm/yr). Today corals are only growing ~1 mm/yr, as sea levels are too low. journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.117…

New study: European heat wave deaths have declined in recent decades. Alarmist studies fail to account for adaptation, artificially inflating heat wave risks. The real risk is cold exposure; green policy-induced energy poverty worsens these outcomes. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

In 2007, Al Gore won a Nobel Peace prize for predicting summer (September) Arctic sea ice would disappear in the next 5 to 7 years (cbsnews.com/news/gore-arct…). Since 2007, there has been "no long-term trend" in September Arctic sea ice extent. Stern, 2025 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/…

New study: Per empirical data CO2 residence time is 3-7 years. 90% of human emissions since 1750 have thus already been removed, precluding a human-CO2-driven climate. The IPCC consequently uses model assumptions to claim residence time is >100 years. doi.org/10.53234/SCC20…

Another year, another well-above-average (1981-2010 mean) snow and ice accumulation on the Greenland ice sheet (indicated by the blue vs. gray trend lines, right chart). The net mass gain (blue) again exceeded the net mass loss (red) during 2024-2025. polarportal.dk/en/greenland/s…

New lab research: Water vapor dominates the GHE. CO2 impact is thus "overlaid" or "overlapped". Increasing CO2 from 20,000 to 80,000 ppm leads to a negative GHE (tenths of °C cooling) - observed in Antarctica, Arctic. Near-zero CO2 climate sensitivity. doi.org/10.53234/scc20…

New study: In 2020 95% of tide gauges reliably contributing to estimates of global sea level rise show no statistical acceleration. The 5% that do are not due to climate. Global sea level rise is only 1.5 mm/yr; the IPCC projects it should be 3.5 mm/yr. mdpi.com/2077-1312/13/9…

New study: Throughout the Holocene there were warmer periods with less ice than in the modern era. Like warm periods, cold phases are driven by solar forcing mechanisms. The recent warming is part of a natural cycle, not a consequence of human activity. pgi.gov.pl/dokumenty-pig-…

New study: Sea surface temperature (SST) is the "fundamental controller of sea level," meltwater input, and thermal expansion. Back when CO2 was a "safe" 265 ppm (7000-4000 yrs ago) SSTs were 1-2°C warmer and sea levels 2-3 m higher. CO2 is not a driver. mdpi.com/2073-4433/16/8…

New study: There's been a "negligible trend" in Arctic sea ice (ASI) since 2012 (-0.4%/decade). Both the declining 1996-2011 ASI trend and post-2012 flat trend are driven by internal variability. An ASI "slowdown" will likely persist through 2030-2040. nature.com/articles/s4146…
