Climate Model Failure Climate Models Climate Model Failure 2 days ago Andy May 211 Comments By Andy May On January 22, 2021, John Christy presented a new online talk to the Irish Climate Science Forum. The talk was arranged by Jim O’Brien. A summary of the presentation can be read at clintel.org here. In this post we present two interesting graphs from the presentation. These compare observations to the IPCC Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5 climate models (CMIP5, 2013) and CMIP6 (current set of IPCC models) climate model projections. Figure 1. CMIP5 models versus weather balloon observations in green. The details of why the models fail statistically can be seen in a 2018 paper by McKitrick and Christy here. The next graph compares the newer CMIP6 models to both the weather balloon data (light green) and the weather reanalysis data (dark green). Figure 2. CMIP6 models versus weather balloon data in light green and weather reanalysis data in dark green. The difference between the models and the observations is statistically significant and shows that the models have been invalidated. It is also significant that the CMIP6 spread of model results is worse than the CMIP5 spread. Thus, the newer models show less agreement to one another than the previous set. “Houston, we have a problem.”

The Recycling Religion

The Recycling Religion John Stossel  |  Jan 18, 2023 Paul Sakuma For decades, we've been told: recycle! "If we're not using recycled paper, we're cutting down more trees!" says Lynn Hoffman, co-president of Eureka Recycling. Recycling paper (or cardboard) does save trees. Recycling aluminum does save energy. But that's about it. The ugly truth is that many "recyclables" sent to recycling plants are never recycled. The worst is plastic. Even Greenpeace now says, "Plastic recycling is a dead-end street." Hoffman often trucks it to a landfill. Years ago, science writer John Tierney wrote a New York Times Magazine story, " Recycling Is Garbage ." It set a Times record for hate mail. But what he wrote was true. "It's even more true today," says Tierney in my new video . "Recycling is an industry that uses increasingly expensive labor to produce materials that are worth less and less." It...

Giant 'Rivers' That Flow Through The Sky Mapped For First Time

  Giant 'Rivers' That Flow Through The Sky Mapped For First Time Environment 26 February 2024 By Tessa Koumoundouros Atmospheric rivers, filaments of intense moisture transport in the atmosphere, can now be automatically detected in satellite observations. (NOAA) Rivers of intense moisture wend their way through our atmosphere just as their liquid counterparts do across the land. Unfortunately the sky streams are much harder for us to see. Often a product of cyclones, atmospheric rivers can dictate where intense rain will fall , making their lack of visibility a problem. Understanding them grows increasingly important as our warming atmosphere soaks up even greater amounts of water, forcing these aerial waterways to change course . Until now, researchers relied on computer modeling to predict where this water vapor likely flows, but researchers have now devised a way for us to spy on them in real time. The missing piece of the puzzle was a 3D windscape....

Population Panic

Population Panic John Stossel  |  Jan 25, 2023 Have you heard? The world is about to end! "60 Minutes" recently featured Paul Ehrlich, author of the bestseller, "The Population Bomb." "Humanity is not sustainable," he said. Why would "60 Minutes" interview Ehrlich? For years, Ehrlich said, "We are very close to a famine" and, "In the next 15 years, the end will come." He's been wrong again and again. Yet, "60 Minutes" takes him seriously. "Paul Ehrlich may have lived long enough to see some of his dire prophecies come true," intoned reporter Scott Pelley. Now, "60 Minutes" says, "scientists say" the earth is in the midst of a "mass extinction"! Doom sells. Ehrlich's book sold an amazing 3 million copies. It claimed the Earth's rising population would lead to worldwide famine. The opposite happened. The world's population more than doub...
