Vijay Jayaraj – August 10, 2022 Southeast Asia is at the crossroads of choosing between a climate agenda hostile to fossil fuels and the energy security its population desperately needs.

Tony Heller – August 9, 2022 [Context: The Biden Administration claims July was third hottest on record in the US.

Javier Vinós & Andy May – July 31, 2022 “Probably no subfield of meteorology has had as much effort devoted to it as the effects of solar variability on weather and climate. And none has had as little to show for the research labor.” Helmut E. Landsberg (1982) 1.1 Introduction The sun has been identified as… Continue Reading
Javier Vinós & Andy May – August 7, 2022 “The complicated pattern of sun-weather relationships undoubtedly needs much further clarification, but progress in this field will be hindered if the view prevails that such relationships should not be taken seriously simply because the mechanisms involved in explaining them are not yet identified.” Joe W. King (1975)… Continue Reading

By Gregory Wrightstone – August 3, 2022 Recent flooding in Kentucky caused VP Kamala Harris to link it to climate change and one resident told Sky News that the flooding is the “worst I’ve ever seen.” That is likely true, but not very meaningful in terms of weather or climate history.

Why the Sun, Not CO2, Heats the Oceans Revisiting the Debate: Does Greenhouse Back-radiation Warm the Oceans?
By Jim Steele – August 1, 2022 Because infrared heat waves penetrates less than a millimeter into the ocean’s surface, many skeptics argued it is impossible to blame rising CO2 for ocean warming. However, several prominent skeptic scientists, people who I have great respect for, also weighed in arguing it was silly and useless to… Continue Reading
By Andy May – July 30, 2022 Andrew Dessler and Steven Koonin will debate the resolution “Climate science compels us to make large and rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.” Dessler will take the affirmative, and Koonin will take the negative.

We witnessed this as the Russian gas embargo forced European states to suppress their revulsion to coal — a bit like a produce… Continue Reading
By Joseph D’Aleo – July 23, 2022 Nearly every area of the mid-latitudes will see summer heat during the high sun angle summer months. Some years the extremes are greater and more persistent than other years.

Author: Norman Rogers | Published: American Thinker | Date: 12 July 2022 Climate science was an obscure and unimportant corner of academia until the professors lucked out with global warming.
