“The Science is Settled” The Washington Post ran a story today, which calls into question whether global warming is man-made. (Article by Robert W. Malone republished from Malone.news) Two new studies offer a potential explanation: fewer clouds. And the decline in cloud cover, researchers say, could signal the start of a …

Meta-analysis of current global warming impacts suggests a third of all species could be extinct by 2100
Predicted extinction risks by region. Credit: Science (2024). DOI: 10.1126/science.adp4461 A biologist at the University of Connecticut has found evidence that up to a third of all species alive today could go extinct by 2100 if greenhouse gas emissions are not slowed or stopped. In his study published in the …
Redefining net zero will not stop global warming, scientists say
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain In a study, led by the University of Oxford’s Department of Physics and published 18 November in Nature, an international group of authors who developed the science behind net zero demonstrate that relying on ‘natural carbon sinks’ like forests and oceans to offset ongoing CO2 emissions …

Global warming is happening, but not statistically ‘surging,’ new study finds
An example of GMST time series with a spurious fit. Credit: Communications Earth & Environment (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s43247-024-01711-1 Given the number of record-setting heat waves around the world in recent years, an international team of researchers, including a Lancaster University statistician, investigated if the rate of global warming has increased …
MSM journos inadvertently reveal shocking truth about global warming – NaturalNews.com
In recent years, particularly around mid-July (the peak of the Northern Hemisphere summer), there has been a noticeable surge in headlines featuring the “hottest day” ever on record in corporate media outlets – which is of course pushed by climate alarmist journalists citing questionable studies. This timing coincides with hot weather, so …
Study yields new insights into the link between global warming and rising sea levels
The ANET-POLENET team flew to remote field sites on Antarctica’s Backer Islands to record bedrock uplift. Ohio State University co-author Terry Wilson is second from the left. Credit: Nicolas Bayou A McGill-led study suggests that Earth’s natural forces could substantially reduce Antarctica’s impact on rising sea levels, but only if …
New research shows how global warming is messing with our rainfall
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain The past century of human-induced warming has increased rainfall variability over 75% of the Earth’s land area—particularly over Australia, Europe and eastern North America, new research shows. The findings, by Chinese researchers and the UK Met Office, were published in the journal Science. They provide the …
Warming of Antarctic deep-sea waters contribute to sea level rise in North Atlantic, study finds

Water Temperatures, Central Great Barrier Reef & Aren’t the Oceans Warming
I was at John Brewer reef earlier in the month, and so I checked the AIMS (Australian Institute of Marine Science) water temperature data for this location. The most up-to-date information is to February 7, 2024, and has been measured at 9 metres. It begins February 1, 2016, thus giving …
Reforestation offset the effects of global warming in the southeastern United States
Image: Pixabay In America’s southeast, except for most of Florida and Virginia, “temperatures have flatlined, or even cooled,” due to reforestation, even as most of the world has grown warmer, reports The Guardian. A study finds that that the relatively cool temperatures are due to “the vast reforestation of much …
