NCAR scientist admits IPCC may be wrong on clouds, may have a net cooling effect instead of warming
New paper finds the natural Pacific Decadal Oscillation controls North American temperatures via changes in cloud cover: Published in Atmospheric Research
New paper finds the natural Pacific Decadal Oscillation controls North American temperatures via changes in cloud cover http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2013/10/new-paper-finds-natural-pacific-decadal.html A paper published today in Atmospheric Research describes a mechanism by which changes in the natural Pacific Decadal Oscillation [PDO] affect air temperatures and water vapor, which subsequently affects cloudiness over North America [planetary albedo], and therefore […]
New paper finds climate model assumptions on cloud-aerosol interactions may be off by 100%: Published in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
New paper finds climate model assumptions on cloud-aerosol interactions may be off by 100% http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2013/09/new-paper-finds-climate-model.html A paper published today in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics demonstrates the huge uncertainties of computer modeling of aerosol–cloud interaction effects, which are one of the “major sources of uncertainty in climate models.” According to the authors, the standard deviation around […]
Svensmark’s cosmic ray theory of clouds and global warming looks to be confirmed
New review paper finds climate sensitivity to CO2 is miniscule
New review paper finds climate sensitivity to CO2 is miniscule http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2013/08/new-review-paper-finds-climate.html A new review paper from SPPI and CO2 Science finds on the basis of observations that the response of the climate to radiative forcing from clouds indicates that the “concomitant 20-year change in radiative forcing due to CO2 alone would have had to have […]
Analysis: ‘Climate science’ now hunting for cooling effects – and finds the brightness of clouds
Settled science: New study ‘shows that atmospheric gases can help clouds form in a way no one had ever considered’
‘…& that an observed decrease in cloud cover alone could account for all global warming observed since ice age scare of 1970’s’
Norway Data Shows Earth’s Global Warming Less Severe Than Feared — Global temps leveled off & ‘ocean water temperature has also stabilized’
New paper finds climate in Tibet was more stable in 20th century than prior — Published in Climate of the Past
New paper finds more evidence of the ‘poor performance’ of climate models — ‘Paper published in the Journal of Climate
As Dr. Roy Spencer points out in his book, “The most obvious way for warming to be caused naturally is for small, natural fluctuations in the circulation patterns of the atmosphere and ocean to result in a 1% or 2% decrease in global cloud cover. Clouds are the Earth’s sunshade, and if cloud cover changes […]
