Kalendra : Conference: Climate Change, Facts, Myths and Science
I am very pleased to welcome you here in the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic for an international scientific conference organised by the CLINTEL (Climate Intelligence) Foundation. Our conference follows on from previous ones held in Pribram-Prague (2015), London (2016) and Porto (2018). Unfortunately, there will be no further meetings…
Žáček : Climate Variability in the Mountainous Region of Kyrgyzstan and its Origin
In the years 2007 – 2010, a project was implemented in remote areas of Kyrgyzstan aimed at analyzing the risks and mitigation of the consequences of potential dam bursting of alpine lakes as a result of climate change. As part of this project, climatic data were gathered and evaluated, capturing their progress over longer periods…
Monckton et al. : An Error of Temperature Feedback Analysis
After correcting an error that arose in 1984 when climatologists borrowed, misunderstood and misapplied feedback formulism from control theory in engineering physics, global warming will continue (till hydrocarbon reserves are exhausted) at the net-beneficial 0.15 Kdecade observed rate, half the long-predicted but erroneous 0.3 K decade midrange rate. Continue reading …
Fűrst : Mathematical Models are Weapons of Mass Destruction
In 2007, the total value of an exotic form of financial insurance called Credit Default Swap (CDS) reached $67 trillion. This number exceeded the global GDP in that year by about fifteen percent. In other words – someone in the financial markets made a bet greater than the value of everything produced in the world…
Kalenda : What was the First? Temperature or CO2?
This presentation and study was made in memory of Prof. Murry Salby (1951 – 2022), who in his textbook of climatology pointed out the marginal influence of humanity on the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and who in lectures in Sydney 2011, Edinburgh 2013, Essen 2015, London 2015, 2016 and Hamburg 2018 deduced…
Koutsoyiannis : The Relationship between Atmospheric Temperature and Carbon Dioxide Concentration
Human-produced CO₂ by fossil fuel combustion, combined with the rising atmospheric CO₂ concentration and the observed temperature increase, enabled a compelling narrative to be constructed, in which these three facts, in that order, formed a chain of causality. The narrative has been embraced by global political elites to promote their interests. It has also become…
Croll : Does the Geological Evidence Indicate a Causal Link between CO2 and Climate Change?
Climate is changing and always has with many and varied recognised drivers. Earth‘s interaction with our celestial neighbours within the solar system and the solar systems relationships within the galaxy being perhaps the most recognised and important of these primary drivers of climate change at virtually all time scales. On the other hand, GHGs and…
Masson : From Correlations to Causalities between Climate Proxies at the Pacific Ocean-Atmosphere Interface
The Climate system is an extremely complex one, and it is necessary to understand its structure before analysing its dynamics and trying to make some projections of it. A key component of the Climate system is the ocean-atmosphere interface. The oceans cover 70 % of the Earth surface, and the Pacific Ocean is the largest…
Scafetta : Impacts and Risks of “Realistic“ Global Warming Projections for the 21st Century
The IPCC AR6 assessment of the impacts and risks associated with projected climate changes for the 21st century is both alarming and ambiguous. According to computer projections, global surface temperature may warm from 1.3 °C to 8.0 °C by 2100, depending on the global climate model (GCM) and the shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP) scenario used…
Pollack : The Cost of Electricity and CO2 Emissions in the Presence of Sun and Wind Generation
Advocates of non-conventional renewable energies (NCRE or renewables) claim that, by increasing electricity generation from these sources in replacement of fossil fuel-based generation, electricity prices must drop since the investment costs of these technologies have sharply dropped over the last decade and because the fuel cost of sun and wind generation is zero. Likewise, CO2…
Ratzer : Climate Concepts
This presentation was given at the Clintel Climate Conference in Prague. It was designed to be as simple as possible to describe two competing climate theories, the Radiative Transfer Concept and the Heat Transfer Concept, and that they are both valid and work together. The Introduction included a few slides to show the foundation for…
Nikolov et al. : Toward a New Theoretical Paradigm of Climate Science
The IPCC climate models have repeatedly shown lack of skill in reproducing observed global and regional features of Earth’s climate for the past 4 decades. These include inability to predict global patterns of warming since 1980. Thus, the IPCC models project higher rates of warming in the tropics than at the Poles and similar warming…
Mackey : The Earth’s Variable Rotation: A Climate Regulator
Over the past fifty years geophysicists have established that the planet experiences global warming and cooling episodes that are repeated about every 60 years; that these cycles are driven by decadal variations in the rate of rotation of the Earth; that these variations result from oscillations of the Earth’s inner core; and that these oscillations…
Šír et al. : The 60-year Cycle of Earth’s Climate and the Eccentricity of Jupiter’s Orbit
The 60-year cycle of eccentricity of Jupiter’s orbit is shown to be closely related to the 60-year cycle of Earth’s climate. Changes in Jupiter’s orbit affect the Earth’s rotation rate. The following phenomena have been shown to be related to these changes: the 1992 El Chicon eruption, the 1991 Pinatubo eruption, the occurrence of strong…
