Frequency of 90-degree days has plummeted

Steven Goddard’s ever-informative “Real Science” Blog has recently tracked a startling phenomenon: the sharp reduction in frequency of 90-degree summer days across the U.S. See here. In the mountainous counties of Montana, for example, we have had two consecutive summers in which temps did not approach 100 degrees even once. There were only a handful …

New Study Finds Earth’s Changing Orbit Has More Effect on Temps than Greenhouse Gasses Do

It turns out that the Earth’s orbit around the sun changes a great deal from time to time. A new study concludes this changing orbit path has more to do with earth temperature changes than any other factor. See here.

Government Temp “Adjustments” Turn a Cooling Period into a Warming Period

In the world of climate-change alarmists, funding non-government-approved science is “keeping the public in the dark”

The government-worshipping Salon.com site is back with another essay on the politics of global climate change. According to Salon, Exxon may have spent as much as 16 million dollars during a 7-year period from 1998 to 2005 on “organizations [which] muddy the scientific waters.” Two points: (1) $16 million is NOTHING. Exxon has spent vastly …

The Claim That Exxon Is Funding Climate Skepticism Evaporates Under Scrutiny

Here are two great sources of info on the now-popular claim that the fossil fuel industry massively funds skepticism of the government’s climate-change agenda. The entirety of the claim rests on hyperbole. In fact, Exxon and the other major oil companies have funded MUCH MORE pro-government propaganda on the issue than skepticism.

Update on N.O.A.A.’s Concealment of Temp Data

We previously reported that NOAA (the government agency charged with monitoring and studying the climate and atmosphere) is refusing to provide the temp data calculations it used for its published study claiming there has been no pause in global warming. The June report said the rate of global warming in the last 15 years has …

Good News! Antarctican Ice Not Melting!

Perhaps they didn’t get the memo. NASA released an exhaustive study yesterday (Nov. 30, 2015). See here. NASA’s study admits that “Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away.” Antarctic ice is now at the very largest levels ever recorded by satellite. See here.
