VW may have developed a major hydrogen breakthrough…cars could travel
2000 km on a single tank of fuel. VW often rails against hydrogen cars,
but the German automaker is reported to have filed a patent that could
mean a major breakthrough for hydrogen powered vehicles, reports Patrick

been electric cars, these have also a number
The ratio of the annual CO2 increase divided by the annual fossil fuel
emission rate increase is referred to as the “airborne fraction.” It has
long been assumed the airborne fraction should increase as fossil fuel
emissions increase. But the opposite has happened. Scientists have
expressed consternation that the airborne fraction of anthropogenic CO2
emissions has not been rising to any signific

By Die kalte Sonne The third part of the IPCC’s 6th Assessment Report
has been published and the response to it varies widely. The BBC speaks
of a “now or never moment.” The problem with such terms is that they
unfortunately wear out very quickly because they are again more or less
deadlines. The BBC assumes that mankind has a maximum of 3 years left to
turn the tide.. “But keeping temperatures d

Failure to correct the “coarse temporal resolution” of pre-1970s

In this post, I will provide a timeline of original appearances of
videos and photos of the Douma chemical incident. There were two
locations for these videos: (1) the emergency ward of the Douma
hospital; (2) a small apartment building about 10 blocks from the
hospital, where dead bodies were found on two floors and on the outside
street. All of the videos and photos through the night of April 7
One of the central claims of The Trick, if not the most central claim,
was that “hiding the decline” was nothing more than an inopportune
phrase about a single diagram. It wasn’t. The “trick to hide the
decline” was an inopportune, if revealing, phrase, but rather than the
issue being limited to a single diagram, the inconsistency between the

Two major new BBC programs, The Trick and the Hack That Changed The
World, re-visit 2009 Climategate events on the eve of UK hosting the
most recent international climate get-together. I was interviewed by The

going to propose a theory of the Climategate hack that is very different

On October 18, 2021, BBC (producer Owen Sheers) aired a “conspiracy
thriller” entitled The Trick – though a more complete title would have
been The Trick… to Hide the Trick to Hide the Decline. In a forthcoming
post, I’ll do a longer analysis of the trick in which, to borrow a
phrase from Climate Audit past, we will watch the pea as Sheers and
colleagues use a trick to hide the “trick to hide the

Next, the PAGES2019 0-30N latband. Their CPS reconstruction (CPS) for
the 0-30N latband (extracted from the global reconstruction) looks
almost exactly the same as reconstructions for the 0-30S and 30-60S
latbands. However, none of the actual proxies in this latband look
remotely like the latband reconstruction, as I’ll show below. In the
course of examining the proxies in this latband, I looked

In a Climategate email. Keith Briffa famously sneered at Michael Mann’s

The 30-60N latitude band gets lots of attention in paleoclimate
collections – probably more proxies than the rest of the world combined.
The 30-60S latitude band is exactly the same size, but it is little
studied. It is the world of the Roaring Forties and Furious Fifties, a
world that is almost entirely ocean. The only land is New Zealand,
Tasmania and the southern coast of Australia facing Anta

About 20% of the PAGES 2019 proxies are 50 Asian tree ring
chronologies, all of which were originally published as chronologies in
PAGES (2013). At the time, none of these series (and certainly not in

peer reviewed or otherwise. Nothing in the Supplementary Information to
any of these articles says who calculated these chron

Although climate scientists keep telling that defects in their “hockey
stick” proxy reconstructions don’t matter – that it doesn’t matter
whether they use data upside down, that it doesn’t matter if they cherry
pick individual series depending on whether they go up in the 20th
century, that it doesn’t matter if they discard series that don’t go the
“right” way (“hide the decline”), that it doesn’
