Mearns: Bond Cycles and the Influence of The Sun on Earth’s Climate
At the heart of Bond’s work are two important geological / geochemical processes: Continue reading …

Pokornẏ et al. : Relationships: Sun – Water – Vegetation – Climate
The principal role of water and vegetation in the distribution of solar energy and in local and global climate is shown on basis of measured data. Poor knowledge of the function of plants in climate formation results in erroneous decision-making…
Abdussamatov: Self-Amplifying Feedback Effects from Long-Term Declines in Solar Radiation will Trigger Deep Cooling Phase of the 19th Little Ice Age around 2080
In climate modeling, it is generally accepted assumed that variations in the total solar irradiance (TSI) have an insignificant effect on climate, while during the Holocene the contribution of TSI to climate changes was great. Long term a weak temperature…
Zharkova: Modern Grand Solar Minimum and its Impact on the Terrestrial Environment
The recent progress with understanding a role of the solar background magnetic field in defining solar and with quantifying the observed magnitudes of magnetic field at different times activity enable reliable long-term prediction of solar activity on a millennium timescale.…
Crok: How Biased is the Latest IPCC Report?
In March 2023, with the publication of the so-called Synthesis report, the IPCC completed its Sixth Assessment cycle. During this cycle, which started in 2015, the IPCC published three special reports: Global Warming of 1.5 °C in October 2018; Climate…
Szarka: Historical and Recent Publications in Hungary on Climate Change
Gratefully acknowledging the initiative of the Czech CLINTEL Working Group, I decided to present a collection of Hungarian and Hungary-related results that explicitly or implicitly address any of the five topics of the conference “Climate change, facts and myths in…
Procházka: The Carbon Cycle, ‘Renewable’ and ‘Non-renewable’
A common myth is that the fossil fuel combustion (with only minor amount of fossil carbon liberated by cement- and lime production) liberated such amounts of carbon which had been deposited for tens of millions of years. However, this is…
Ad Huijser: Greenhouse Feedbacks are Intrinsic Properties of the Planck Feedback Parameter
The idea that our climate reacts differently to anthropogenic forcings than to natural instabilities through the phenomenon of “feedbacks”, seems widespread. This paper shows that climate feedbacks are not effects induced by forcings, but in fact “constitute” our climate. Independent…
Frans J. Schrijver: Impact of global greening on the natural atmospheric CO₂ level
In this study we investigate the impact of greening on the Earth in terms of gross primary production (GPP) on the natural atmospheric CO₂ level. The total mass of CO₂ in the atmosphere is equal to the yearly amount of…
Demetris Koutsoyiannis: Relative importance of carbon dioxide and water in the greenhouse effect: Does the tail wag the dog? Supplementary Information
Using a detailed atmospheric radiative transfer model, we derive macroscopic relationships of downwelling and outgoing longwave radiation which enable determining the partial derivatives thereof with respect to the explanatory variables that represent the greenhouse gases. We validate these macroscopic relationships…
Moritz Büsing: Systematic Error in Global Temperatures due to Weather Station Ageing
The white paint or white plastic of the housings of weather stations ages, which leads to increased absorption of solar radiation and to increased temperature measurements. This alone would be a small error. However, many different state-of-the-art homogenization algorithms repeatedly…

Dai Ato: The Sea Surface Temperature Rules
The impact of certain factors on the changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentrations has yet to be elucidated. In particular, the impacts of sea surface temperature (SST) on the balance of CO₂ emissions and absorption in the atmosphere and…
Zdirad Žák: Question About 280 ppm CO2 Background Level
The late Ernst Georg Beck wrote a rather controversial but very interesting article titled “Reconstruction of Atmospheric CO2 Background Levels since 1826 from Direct Measurements near Ground “, published in this journal (Beck, 2022) that raised several comments, the most…
Volume 4.1 June 2024
Volume 4 is planned to appear in two issues. This first issue contains a longer review paper of Roy Clark, who explains in detail, why the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, who awarded part of the 2021 Nobel Prize for…
Roy Clark: A Nobel Prize for Climate Model Errors
Volume 4.1 When the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded part of the 2021 Nobel Prize for Physics to Syukuro Manabe they failed to recognize that the climate models used to justify the award were invalid. When the CO2 concentration…
