Further terrestrial evidence of planetary cycles affecting climate

Dan Pangburn: Cloud Altitude Change Causes Global Temperature Change

The temperature range of the 20th century spans about 0.74 C. Of this, about 40% or 0.3 C has excellent correlation with the sunspot time-integral. An equation has been derived that calculates average global temperature based on the physical phenomena involved. With inputs of accepted measurements (source web links are given) from government agencies, it [...]

Science in a free society

Not long before climategate broke at the end of 2009, Steve McIntyre requested some assistance from readers at his blog Climate Audit. In the long running battle with the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia over access to the CRUTem dataset, attempts to obtain the information under the Freedom of Information Act [...]

Which Causes which out of Atmospheric Temperature and CO2 content?

Reposted from the Cycles Research Institute’s Blog A guest post from Ray Tomes Over very long periods of time as ice ages come and go, it has been found that temperature leads atmospheric CO2 content by about 800 years. This seems to contradict the IPCC and other views that CO2 causes change in temperature. But [...]

European carbon credit prices in freefall: watch your wallet

Here’s one to keep an eye on. The value of carbon credits on the European exchange has fallen 20% in ten days. Hopefully the graph to the right will update. WUWT contributor Ecotratas has blogged this at http://ecotretas.blogspot.com/2011/06/co2-tumbling-down.html This might be a good time for those who live in the E.U. to ask their pension fund [...]

Galactic scale electric current detected: more amps than you can shake a black hole at

MEASUREMENT OF THE ELECTRIC CURRENT IN A KPC-SCALE JET P.P. Kronberg R.V.E. Lovelace G. Lapenta S.A. Colgate Draft version June 8, 2011 ABSTRACT We present radio emission, polarization, and Faraday rotation maps of the radio jet of the galaxy 3C303. From this data we derive the magnetoplasma and electrodynamic parameters of this 50 kpc long [...]

Comet Storm: A hypothesis explaining megafauna extinction and the Younger Dryas cooling event

I’ve seen this page mentioned a couple of times recently and took a read. It presents a convincing case for the cause of the Younger Dryas cooling event and the extinction of megafauna around 11,000 years ago. Don’t be too daunted by the length of the page, the post is repeated from halfway down. It’s [...]

Secular solar flux variation

(see text) Solar energy emission varies on all timescales right out to the change into a red dwarf, or so that particular theory goes.

Svalgaard goes squirrel fishing: Hooks own trousers

Solar physicist and full time blog contributor Leif Svalgaard has for years had solar data on his ironing board. Now he has gone a step further than usual with the following statement. Leif Svalgaard says: June 18, 2011 at 9:01 am Leif Svalgaard says: June 18, 2011 at 6:51 am The Far Ultraviolet [between EUV [...]

Krakatoa and Pinatubo vs the Sun: Clash of the Titans

On the very busy and interesting El Nino in relation to solar cycles thread Erl Happ made a comment about volcanos and El Nino which reminded me about a graph I did of the similarity between late C19th and late C20th solar slowdowns and the El Nino events occurring at those epochs. I ‘ve made [...]
