Nicola Scafetta: The Frontier of Climate Science
This article summarizes my public presentation of the book The Frontier of Climate Science: Solar Variability, Natural Cycles and Model Uncertainty. The book reviews the main current open issues in climate science: the questionable near-total attribution of post-1850 warming to anthropogenic causes alone, the use of unrealistic emission scenarios (SSPs), the wide uncertainty range in…
Paul Schmidt: Resumption of Nuclear instead of even more Wind Power
On April 15, 2023, Germany took its last three commercial nuclear power plants off the grid. Only thirteen years before then, in 2010, 17 reactors had supplied about one third of the German electricity consumption. Since then, Germany has expanded wind and solar electricity production capacity far beyond need, but its availableness remains as low…
Theodorus Bernardus Wolters: Fact checking Climate Science
The presentation analyses the four existing lines of proof for the CAGW hypothesis and concludes that all four fail: The first line of proof is the “proof by contradiction”: the observed temperature change can only be explained by the known climate forcings if CO₂ is responsible for all the warming. However, the ensemble of forcings…
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…
