New paper debunks claims that fossil fuel use could cause a mass extinction: Published in Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology finds that ‘The total amount of carbon needed [to cause a mass extinction] exceeds the modern fossil fuel reservoir’
New paper debunks claims that fossil fuel use could cause a mass extinction http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2013/10/new-paper-debunks-claims-that-fossil.html Climate alarmists have claimed that Earth is on its way to the 6th mass extinction as a result of use of fossil fuels.

New study finds the natural Pacific Decadal Oscillation controls tornado activity, not CO2 – ‘Higher CO2 is correlated with fewer severe tornadoes’
New study finds the natural Pacific Decadal Oscillation controls tornado activity, not CO2 http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2013/10/new-study-finds-natural-pacific-decadal.html A new study finds that the severity and locations of tornadoes is strongly influenced by the natural Pacific Decadal Oscillation, with more severe tornadoes occurring during the warm phase and fewer during the cold phase. The cold phase of the 60-year Pacific Decadal […]
