The Global Warming Doomsday Religion Is A Suicide Pact To Wreck Our Economy
There is no scientific evidence that the minuscule 0.01% increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) since 1780 has had any effect on the Earth’s average temperature. Nonetheless, in the 1980s, a religious/political movement against man-made or anthropogenic CO2 arose. It…
Smoke from Australian bushfires depleted ozone layer by up to 5% in 2020, study finds
Particles in bushfire smoke can activate molecules that destroy the ozone layer, according to new research that suggests future ozone recovery may be delayed by increasingly intense and frequent fires. A study published in the journal Nature has found that…
How not to science – RealClimate
A trip down memory lane and a lesson on scientific integrity. I had reason to be reviewing the history of MSU satellite retrievals for atmospheric temperatures recently. It’s a fascinating story of technology, creativity, hubris, error, imagination, rivalry, politics, and…
Blocking sun rays finds support in the Senate – E&E News
Senators on both sides of the aisle are open to funding research on solar geoengineering, a little understood and potentially dangerous method of blocking the sun’s rays to quickly reduce global warming. Their receptiveness comes after years of Senate apprehension…
