Ned Nikolov writes: Our climate-science Interview is now available on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/821124143 You will learn in 17 minutes, why CO2 is not a driver of Earth’s climate, and what’s physically wrong with the “greenhouse” theory at the root of the AGW claim and all crazy Net-Zero energy policies.

Ned Nikolov: Does a Surface Solar Radiation Dataset Expose a Major Manipulation of Global Temperature Records?

Once again it’s my pleasure to publish a new paper by Ned Nikolov and Karl Zeller at the Talkshop. In this study, we see the presentation of a climate conundrum, and recent surface solar radiation data which helps shed new light on the questions surrounding the ongoing adjustment of global temperature datasets. This new study […]

I’m delighted Ned Nikolov and Karl Zeller have chosen the Talkshop as the venue for the publication of this new open peer review paper on climate sensitivity. Scientific advance at the cutting edge has always been the most important aim of this blog, and I think this paper truly is an advance in our understanding […]

Ned Nikolov: Dispelling the Milankovitch Myth

Ned Nikolov, Ph.D.Dec 30, 2021 There has been a long-standing belief in Paleoclimatology that orbital variations (a.k.a. Milankovitch cycles) have been responsible for the initiation and/or duration of glacial cycles (Ice Ages) over the past 800 Ky. Milankovitch cycles are often referred to as a pacemaker of the Ice Ages. This myth dates back to […]

Ned Nikolov: Demystifying the Atmospheric Greenhouse Effect

Tallbloke writes: Ned Nikolov has produced a video explaining what’s wrong with the currently fashionable radiative greenhouse effect hypothesis and laying out his and Karl Zeller’s better alternative theory which is supported by empirical data from across the solar system, rather than relying on the conjectures of C19th scientists. Everyone should make the time to […]

Ned Nikolov: What Can NASA Planetary Data Tell Us about Drivers of Earth’s Climate?

Ned Nikolov, Ph.D. Has written to me with news of the presentations he made at this years AMS meeting. It’s vital we get people to understand the implications of the discoveries he and Karl Zeller have made. With our western governments jumping aboard the ‘Green New Deal’ and ‘NetZero’ bandwagons, we will need to work […]

A question from Ned Nikolov

This looks self-explanatory, so here’s the graphic… [click on image to enlarge]

Does the Nikolov and Zeller discovery violate energy conservation?

Ned and Karl often run into people on twitter who tell them that their ‘theory’ violates the 1st Law of thermodynamics. Firstly, as Ned points out, their empirical work is not a theory, but a discovery. But let’s allow Paul to develop his argument, and then we’ll pick it apart and see if it ‘holds […]

Nikolov & Zeller: Reply to Dr Roy Spencer’s blog article.

Confusing Diabatic and Adiabatic Processes within the Climate Theory: A Reply to Dr. Roy Spencer’s Blog Article “Giving Credit to Willis Eschenbach” Ned Nikolov, Ph.D.Physical Scientist In a recent blog post, Dr. Roy Spencer at the University of Alabama at Huntsville attempted to criticize and dismiss the importance of our recent discovery about the physical […]

Resolving misconceptions about the Nikolov and Zeller universal theory of climate

We’ve been having a good knockabout on twitter with Patrick Moore concerning Ned and Karl’s Pressure-Insolation theory; their discovery that a simple formula using surface pressure and solar distance will accurately give you the surface temperature on vastly different planets and moons throughout the solar system. Patrick is a great guy, and a good sport, […]

WCC4 Rome: Interview with Nikolov and Zeller

I got back from Rome last night following the highly successful World Climate Conference. Quite a number of CO2 sceptics gave presentations, which were politely received and discussed by all present. We even made a few converts. Here’s a short interview I made with Ned Nikolov and Karl Zeller where they give their impressions and […]

Ned Nikolov: In Science, New Messages Mean More than the Messengers’ Names

An Interview Given by Dr. Ned Nikolov (a.k.a. Den Volokin) to Ben Guarino, a Staff Writer at The Washington Post Sep. 17, 2016 Research Paper Withdrawal by the Journal Advances in Space Research   Q1: As succinctly as possible, could you tell me why you chose to publish this work under a pseudonym? A1: We […]

Ned Nikolov: Implications of DIVINER results for the S-B standard equation

DIVINER’s results show that the Moon’s actual mean surface temperature is much lower than the estimate derived from the standard Stefan-Boltzmann (S-B) equation: This means we now need to accept the following distinctions: 1)   The term emission temperature (Te) is strictly reserved for estimates obtained by the above (S-B) equation. It refers to a temperature […]

Daniel M. Sweger: Response to Nikolov and Zeller’s Unified Theory of Climate

Response to “Unified Theory of Climate” Updated PDF is here Dr. Daniel M. Sweger National College Introduction During the last two years that I have been teaching Environmental Science and attempting to explain global warming to my students, I have been frustrated at the lack of solid theoretical understanding of the primary processes coupled with […]

Nikolov & Zeller: Reply to Eschenbach

Anthony Watts has kindly offered the Talkshop the exclusive on Ned Nikolov and Karl Zeller’s reply to the article by Willis Eschenbach published at WUWT, which we accept, gladly. Reply to: ‘The Mystery of Equation 8’ by Willis Eschenbach Ned Nikolov, Ph.D. and Karl Zeller, Ph.D. February 07,2012 In a recent article entitled ‘The Mystery […]

Nikolov and Zeller: Reply to comments on the UTC part 1

My Thanks to Ned Nikolov, who has just sent the first part of the ‘Response to comments on the Unified Theory of Climate’ to us. Part 1: Magnitude of the Natural ‘Greenhouse’ Effect Ned Nikolov, Ph.D. and Karl Zeller, Ph.D. January 17, 2012 We’ve decided to split our expanded explanation into two parts, so that […]

Two more theories relevant to the Unified Theory of Climate by Nikolov and Zeller

While we await the reply to comments on the Unified Theory of Climate (not long now!), I’d like to draw attention to more complimentary work done independently by William Gilbert and Dean Brooks. In no particular order these are:- Bill Gilbert’s paper (E&E 2010) THE THERMODYNAMIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SURFACE TEMPERATURE AND WATER VAPOR CONCENTRATION IN […]

The Era Of ‘Unquestioned And Unchallenged’ Climate Change Claims Is Over

What era? IPCC-favoured warmist scientists can’t even agree among themselves sometimes. But they usually agree that scientists who question their climate theories in research papers are fair game for sneers, jeers and various forms of harassment, if ignoring them isn’t enough. – – – Leading voices in the climate science community are in an uproar […]
