Hermann Harde, How Much CO2 and the Sun Contribute to Global Warming
SCC Volume 2.2. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change classifies the human influence on our climate as extremely likely to be the main reason of global warming over the last decades. Particularly anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide are made responsible for the observed temperature changes, while any natural forcings are almost completely excluded. However, detailed…
Hans Schrøder: Less than Half CO2 Increase is Due to Fossil Fuels
The question is: What fraction of the observed increase in atmospheric CO2 since 1750 is due to the burning of fossil fuels? Is it close to 1.0 as the IPCC and the climate policy makers would have us believe by saying that all, or nearly all, of the increase is due to the burning of…
Hermann Harde and Michael Schnell: Verification of the Greenhouse Effect in the Laboratory
SCC Volume 2.1. The existence or non-existence of the so-called atmospheric greenhouse effect continuously dominates the extremely emotional discussion about a human impact on global warming. Most scientists agree with the fundamental greenhouse theory, but like their opponents they are missing a reliable experimental verification of this effect. Measurements at the open atmosphere are too…
Christopher Monckton, The application of Classical simplicity to present-day mathematical problems
SCC Volume 1.2 Classical mathematicians valued simplicity, settling such complex questions as the irrationality of √2 by elementary methods. Today, too, refractory problems in pure as well as applied math- ematics are resoluble by simple, Classical methods. For instance, though the Goldbach, Twin- Prime and Cousin-Prime Conjectures have withstood proof for 2-3 centuries, they are…
Edwin X Berry, The impact of human CO2 on atmospheric CO2
SCC Volume 1.2 A basic assumption of climate change made by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is natural CO2 stayed constant after 1750 and human CO2 dominated the CO2 increase. IPCC’s basic assumption requires human CO2 to stay in the atmosphere longer than natural CO2. But human CO2 and natural CO2…
Murry Salby and Hermann Harde: Control of Atmospheric CO2 Part II
SCC Volume 1.2 Unlike much of the Earth, surface temperature in the tropics underwent a systematic and sustained increase during the satellite era. Due to the temperature dependence of surface processes which regulate CO2 emission, that long-term change should exert a similar influence on atmospheric CO2. We develop how this influence would manifest in the…
Murry Salby and Hermann Harde: Control of Atmospheric CO2 Part I
SCC Volume 1.2 An in-depth analysis is performed on the record of atmospheric 14CO2, an isotopic tracer of CO2 that was perturbed by nuclear testing. In addition to long-term behavior, we examine short-term changes that have been largely ignored. It pays to look closely. Those changes reveal the under- lying mechanisms responsible for the observed…
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,…
