  • Martin Hovland: The Holocene Climate Change Story: Witnessed from Sola. Part I

    SCC Volume 1.1 The Holocene time-period on the geological time scale is defined as the period following the last glaciation, about 14,000 to 15,000 years ago, until the present (“Holocene”, after the Greek words: “halos”, entire, and “ceno”, new). Although this is a short period in the geological sense, it is an important and defining…

  • Climate Change Consensus Only Achieved with Filtering and Selection Bias

    SCC Volume 1.1 By Margarita Grabert, Philipp Lengsfeld, Adedamola Adedokun, Andreas Glassl and Fritz Vahrenholt. Abstract Based on the premises that there is a high rate of agreement among the scientific community concerning the key factors driving climate change, there have been growing calls from the public to “Unite behind science”. However, a careful assessment…

  • Nicola Scafetta: Planetary, Solar and Climatic Oscillations, An Overview

    SCC Volume 1.1 Solar activity and climate change are characterized by specific oscillations. The most relevant ones are known in the literature as the cycles of Bray±Hallstatt (2100±2500 year), Eddy (800±1200 year), Suess±de Vries (200±250 year), Jose (155±185 year), Gleissberg (80±100 year), the 55±65 year cluster, the 40±50 year cluster plus bidecadal and decadal oscillations,…

  • François Gervais: Climate Sensitivity and Carbon Footprints

    SCC Volume 1.1 A simple formula is suggested to policy makers to evaluate the impact of Earth’s temperature of fossil fuel emissions or reductions. It is illustrated for main emitters, country by country. Two lists of estimates are compared. One is based on the last report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC AR5…

  • Hermann Harde and Murry Salby: What Controls the Atmospheric CO2 level

    SCC Volume 1.1 The evolution of nuclear-perturbed CO2 is used to determine the removal time of atmospheric CO2. The exponential decline of anomalous CO2 establishes that absorption of CO2 is determined, not by extraneous reservoirs of carbon, but autonomously by the atmosphere. Specifically, the rate at which CO2 is absorbed from the atmosphere is directly…

  • Christopher Monckton of Brenchley: What is Science and What is Not

    SCC Volume 1.1 In the classical scientific method, a proposed alternative hypothesis that an observable event is not attributable to chance is Popper-falsified by deductive testing of the corresponding null hypothesis that the occurrence is random. However, legalist post-modern scientism promotes a species of proposition that is not a true hypothesis at all: the manifestly…
