Professor Kvalheim, Distinguished Audience, Ladies and Gentlemen, many thanks for bringing me to Norway. As the recently appointed second president of Clintel, I have received several invitations from Clintel supporters in foreign countries, but yours is the first I have…
This commentary is a conflation and revision of the author’s essays previously published in the American Thinker and the Washington Times. To counter climate anxiety, this treatise reflects the limited predictions of climate models, particularly the atmosphere’s temperature profile, where…
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…
Vol 4.1 Seventy-five years ago, in late 1948, 21 residents of Donora, Pennsylvania, US, and vicinity died from high concentrations of fumes emitted from the local heavy industry. This tragic event in Donora, a small town about twenty miles south…
SCC Volume 3.2. Recently a compilation of almost 100.000 historical data about chemical CO2 concentration measurements between 1826 and 1960 has been published as post mortem memorial edition of the late Ernst-Georg Beck. This compilation can give important insight in…
SCC Volume 3.2. The late Ernst-Georg Beck wrote a monumental article titled “Reconstruction of Atmospheric CO2 Background Levels since 1826 from Direct Measurements near Ground “, published in this journal in 2022 (Beck, 2022). Beck‘s results are controversial, especially because…
SCC Volume 3.2. Ernst Georg Beck estimated a CO2 background time-series from 1826 to 1960. In a discussion from Ferdinand Engelbeen, he has a comment ha many of them are unsuited for background CO2-levels. The huge CO2 level around 1940…
SCC Volume 3.2. Several comments can be made on the reconstruction of the historical CO2 data made by the late Ernst Beck (Beck, 2010, published in SCC 2022 [21]). While most chemical methods used were fairly accurate (+/- 10 ppmv),…
SCC Volume 2.3. Present day treatises dealing with weather and climate often use seemingly physical quantities, while they are in fact averages of such. Inserting these into formulas is physically not permitted. It leads to an assumption of the magnitude…
SCC Volume 2.3. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) classifies the human influence on ourclimate as extremely likely to be the main reason of global warming over the last decades. Particularly anthropogenic emissions of carbon compounds, with carbon dioxide…
SCC Volume 2.2. On Christmas Day 2008, I received an e-mail from the German researcher Ernst-Georg Beck. He asked me to analyze an atmospheric CO2 time-series from 1820 to 1960. A CO2 time-series from 1820 was something special. Next day…
SCC Volume 1.1 Abstract When meteorologists with today’s great computing power can only predict the weather with some degree of certainty about 3 days into the future, how can we then expect climate scientists to predict the climate 100 years…
