Ronan Connolly: Adjusting the Data or Rewriting History?
Annual “hottest-year-on-record” headlines rely on global temperature-anomaly indices built from weather-station data that are incomplete, geographically biased and contaminated by non-climatic artefacts (urbanization, poor siting, instrument changes). Automated homogenization algorithms, especially NOAA’s Pairwise Homogenization Algorithm, are widely believed to overcome these challenges. However, in practice they often rewrite station records on a daily (or monthly)…
Anja Arndt: Europe’s Energy Supply under Pressure
This paper summarises a presentation on the implications of the EU Methane Regulation (EU) 2024/1787 on the reduction of methane emissions in the energy sector from the political perspective of the author as an AfD Member of the European Parliament and representative of the Europe of Sovereign Nations (ESN) Group. The central thesis of the…
Marc Morano: The Great Reject
This paper outlines a historic shift in global climate policy and public perception, detailing the rapid deflation of the “Great Reset” and net-zero agendas as of 2026. It argues that the climate movement has hit its lowest point of influence in fifty years due to three primary drivers: the collapse of institutional appeal to authority…
Horst-Joachim Lüdecke: Wind Energy means going back to the Middle Ages
Is ‘going back in the Middle Ages’ too polemical? After all, there was no electricity in the Middle moluedecke@t- Ages, whereas wind turbines are built using the most modern technologies. However, the natural rule of human technical progress is to always increase the available power and energy density. This historical progression began with draft animals…
Koutsoyiannis: H2O, CO2, Climate Change
This paper is a summary of recent results of the author, documented in 14 peer-reviewed journal papers and other research items published in the last 5 years. A list of collected telltale signs makes it obvious that “climate science” is not science. The misguidance is illustrated by a few striking examples. The main scientific results,…
Vinós: Radiative versus Thermodynamic Climate Change
The predominant view attributes climate change to altered atmospheric radiative properties caused by greenhouse gases and aerosols. This paper proposes an additional thermodynamic framework, emphasizing the role of meridional (horizontal) energy transport between the tropics and poles. Because the greenhouse effect is strong in humid tropics and weak in dry polar regions, changes in poleward…
Furfari: Energy Geopolitics and the EU
This presentation, delivered at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Furfari 2025), provides a critical examination of the European Union’s current energy policy, with a particular focus on decarbonisation and the rapid integration of renewable energy technologies. Drawing on decades of professional experience in energy policy and geopolitics within the European Commission, the analysis reveals a…
Embey-Isztin: In Terms of Scientific Consensus
When it comes to public consensus, climate science is in a critical phase. On the one hand, publishing climate scientists do show a massively overwhelming consensus on what causes presentday climate change, on the other side, climate sceptics categorically deny this. At the same time, they fail to reach an internal consensus; as there is…
Kovács: On Geological CO2 Emissions
Geological CO₂ emissions from intraplate regions remain poorly quantified despite their relevance to the long-term carbon cycle. Observations from the Pannonian Basin indicate measurable mantle-derived degassing, highlighting the need for improved constraints on non-volcanic geological CO₂ fluxes. Continue reading …
Huszar et. al: Argued Answers to Questions about the Climate Situation and Energy Production
Nowadays, public discourse and scientific interest seem to be dominated by one topic: climate change. The facts are stubborn, extraordinary atmospheric and geological phenomena have multiplied in recent decades and are occurring with unusual intensity. It is foolish to deny their objectivity. However, a meaningful discourse could be conducted about the underlying causes. Are the…
Garbai et. al: Absorption of Thermal Radiation in the Atmosphere in the Presence of CO₂
The paradigmatic challenges of our time include the presence of greenhouse gases in the atmos- phere, their influence on the Earth’s climate, global warming, and the green transition. The assessment of these issues and their relative importance divides the scientific community. Some researchers deny the existence of a significant greenhouse effect and its influence on…
Szarka: What is Climate Science?
Around the world, in the field of environment, as connected to energy and climate, many common concepts are inherently confusing or have become confused. This paper highlights some of the related contradictions in such very basic concepts as science, climate, climate system, climate change. Historical documents (among others, the birth document of the Consensus in…
Zharkova: Modern Grand Solar Minimum (2020-2053)
The two Principal Components (eigen vectors) derived with Principal Component Analysis from the solar background magnetic field defining two largest magnetic waves of the poloidal field of the Sun are shown to be generated in two layers by the solar dynamo with the dipole magnetic sources. The two magnetic waves revealed a noticeable phase shift…
Báder: Surface Energy Balance of the Danube Region
The surface of the Earth is heated by solar radiation (shortwave radiation) passing through the atmosphere. The air near the earth’s surface is heated from below using this energy converting the shortwave radiation to other forms. According to the law of conservation of energy, the incoming and outgoing energies are equal. Continents are warming faster…
Szarka: Conference “Beyond the Climate Change Consensus”
This is an introductory article to the papers based on presentations at the conference “Beyond the Climate Change Consensus” (BCCC, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, December 8, 2025) and its pre-event. It was a unique symbol: unprecedented for a country’s national academy to provide an official scientific forum on climate without censorship. In this paper the…
Nordin: The Role of Science in Climate Politics
I gave a short introduction to the climate conference in Mölndal 26-27 October 2024. The theme of the conference was “Science and Politics” so I picked up a couple of basic philosophical words of wisdom for this occasion. The first sentence comes from the 18th century philosopher David Hume with the following logic statement:¬ (Is…
