Cohler, J., Legates, D. R., Green, K. C., Humlum, O., Soon, F., & Soon, W. (2026). IPCC’s Earth Energy Imbalance Assessment is Based on Physically Invalid Argo-Float-Based Estimates of Global Ocean Heat Content. Science of Climate Change, 6(1), 43–76. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18936064
March 10, 2026 — Cambridge, MA, USA — An international team of scientists has published groundbreaking research revealing that the primary measurement used to support claims of planetary “warming” is fundamentally flawed and scientifically invalid. The paper, published in Science of Climate Change, demonstrates that ocean heat content (OHC) estimates, which underpin the IPCC climate assessments, are based on physically meaningless calculations that violate basic 150-year-old principles of thermodynamics and fail to meet the standards of the scientific method.
The research team, led by physicist Jonathan Cohler of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA) along with scientists from the University of Delaware (USA), Adelaide University (Australia), the University of Oslo (Norway), and the Institute of Earth Physics and Space Science (Hungary), conducted the first comprehensive analysis of how global OHC is actually measured and calculated. Their findings reveal that the widely cited figure in IPCC AR6 showing Earth accumulating energy at a rate of 0.7 ± 0.2 watts per square meter has an actual uncertainty roughly ten times larger than what the IPCC claims, making the central value “statistically indistinguishable from zero.”
“The public has been told that the ocean is ‘warming’ and absorbing over 90% of ‘excess’ planetary heat,” explained Cohler. “But when we examined how these numbers are actually calculated, we found they represent computational artifacts rather than measurements of real physical energy rendering the entire process a category error.”
As promised, the climate science obliteration has arrived TODAY.
The IPCC’s central claims have now been torn apart.
The oceans are not “warming” let alone “boiling.” That claim is false.
The claimed Earth Energy Imbalance is false. It’s no different from zero.
