Hans Schrøder: Understanding the Carbon Cycle
SCC Volume 3.4 According to the IPCC’s popular narrative, the man-made emission of CO2 accumulates in the atmosphere. A fixed portion stays there, while the rest ends up in land and sea reservoirs However, the carbon cycle is not a matter of accumulation, but circulation. Flows are not one-way, but two-ways. Accordingly, I depict the…
Antero Ollila: Carbon Dioxide Circulation
Volume 3.4 Carbon cycle models referred to by the IPCC are all-encompassing and they apply several sub-models designed for special tasks like CO2 exchange with plants. The objective of this presenta-tion is to analyze critically the IPCC’s carbon cycle model and to compare its key figures to the results of the 1DAOBM-3 model of Ollila.…
Johannes Oraug: CO2 Gas of Life Posters for kids
SCC Volume 3.4 How can we understand climate change – when it requires us to understand several natural science connections? This article shows how I solved the teaching for my six grandchildren, between 10 and 18 years old, because they all know who Greta Thunberg is. Or, rather was! Because after five years of schooling,…
Karl Iver Dahl-Madsen: The Carbon Balance shows that Net-Zero is neither Necessary nor Rational
The current increase in atmospheric CO2 is predominantly caused by human emissions. All other explanations violate the mass conservation law.
John A. Parmentola: Celestial Mechanics and Holocene Warm Period
SCC Volume 3.4 This paper addresses several issues concerning Milankovitch Theory and its relationship to paleoclimate data over the last 800,000 years. The insolation is described physically as a time-dependent wave. It is analogous to an AM radio wave. Its wave-like nature is produced by the “beating” of the earth’s celestial motions on the solar…
Eva-Marie Brekkestø and Stein Bergsmark: The Little Ice Age
SCC Volume 3.4 To recognize the current climate change in the right perspective, it is vitally important to know climate in the past. The knowledge of past climate, however, has been largely missing. There is the very widespread and convulsive mythos built by a dominant group of climate scientists, that after the end of the…
Jan-Erik Solheim: Weaker Gulf Stream and Weather Extremes
SCC Volume 3.4 During the summer of 2023 media announced that the Gulf Stream should disappear already in 2025. A colder climate was expected in Northern Europe. This was based on a paper by two Danish researchers who had discovered that the sea surface temperature south of Greenland did not increase as on the rest…
Harald Yndestad: Little Ice Age 1330-2150 A.D.
SCC Volume 3.4 A wavelet spectrum analysis of TSI data series from 1000 AD and 1700A D computed a Maunder-Dalton type next deep sola minimum at the year 2049 (Yndestad and Solheim 2017). New investigations have revealed that The Little Age is controlled by interference between TSI variations from the sun, solar forced accumulation of…
Thorstein O. Seim and Borgar T. Olsen: CO2 IR Absorption and Back Radiation Experiment
Volume 3.4 The Greenhouse Effect was simulated in a laboratory setup, consisting of a heated ground area and two chambers, one filled with air and one filled with air or CO2. While heating the gas, the temperature and IR radiation in both chambers were measured. IR radiation was produced by warming a metal plate, painted…
Jan-Erik Solheim: Norwegian, Nordic and International Climate Realist Conferences 2014-2018
SCC Volume 2.1. The organization Climate Realists of Norway was started in 2009 and part of our activity is topresent facts about climate and climate change in public meetings. It soon became evident that many of our members wanted to learn more about climate to be stronger in the public debate. We therefore started internal…
Guus Berkhout: World Climate Declaration
SCC Volume 2.1. The past 150 years show that affordable and reliable energy is key to financing basic needs, such as food, health, sanitation, housing, electricity, and education. The past 150 years also show that more CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth and increasing the yield of crops. Why do world leaders ignore…
Peter Ridd, The Replication Crisis
SCC Volume 2.1. 1. IntroductionThe replication crisis is a phenomenon widely accepted in major institutions of science (Ioannidis, 2005, 2014, Baker 2016). Roughly half of peer reviewed scientific literature is probably flawed or totally wrong. There are almost certainly problems in all fields of science. How did this problem develop? The inadequacies of the peer…
Karl Iver Dahl-Madsen, Mariculture: A Resource-efficient Food Production
SCC Volume 2.1. Due to a resource-efficient food production – famine will be a thing of the past in our affluent society. Famine due to climate change is simply not true. We can easily feed everyone – even if we are more than ten billion people. 1. BackgroundMost of the issues we have in the…
Susan J. Crockford, The Polar Bear Catastrophe that Never Happened
SCC Volume 2.1. Since the start of this century, polar bears have been an icon for all that’s worrisome about human-caused global warming. Polar bears are the most-used example to try and convince the public that burning fossil fuels already has had – and will continue to have – a harmful effect on the planet.…
Morten Jødal, Is Life on Earth Really Dying?
SCC Volume 2.1. We are told about a 6th mass extinction of species and disappearance of the biological diversity. Facts contradict these claims. We know only a few species going extinct since 1500. The extinction rate is going down. All humans on Earth experience a larger diversity in their natural local surroundings. Most species have…
Peter Ridd, Is the Great Barrier Reef Threatened?
SCC Volume 2.1. The popular news media have in recent years been deluged with stories claiming that the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is severely damaged and has a very poor outlook for the future. Major threats to the reef supposedly include rising temperatures, ocean ‘acidification’, and pollution (sediment fertiliser and pesticides) from agriculture on the…
