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…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
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…
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…
This is a special issue of the Journal Science of Climate Change (SCC) which contains programme and extended abstracts from the International CLINTEL Scientific Conference in Prague, November 12 and 13, 2024, in the premises of the Chamber of Deputies…
I am very pleased to welcome you here in the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic for an international scientific conference organised by the CLINTEL (Climate Intelligence) Foundation. Our conference follows on from previous ones held…
We have analyzed a data set of the Barents Sea “Summer” Ice Edge (late August; covering 442 years from 1579 to 2020. The data is based on ship-logs from European whalers, earlier explorers, and hunters in addition to images from…
In the years 2007 – 2010, a project was implemented in remote areas of Kyrgyzstan aimed at analyzing the risks and mitigation of the consequences of potential dam bursting of alpine lakes as a result of climate change. As part…
After correcting an error that arose in 1984 when climatologists borrowed, misunderstood and misapplied feedback formulism from control theory in engineering physics, global warming will continue (till hydrocarbon reserves are exhausted) at the net-beneficial 0.15 Kdecade observed rate, half the…
In 2007, the total value of an exotic form of financial insurance called Credit Default Swap (CDS) reached $67 trillion. This number exceeded the global GDP in that year by about fifteen percent. In other words – someone in the…
This presentation and study was made in memory of Prof. Murry Salby (1951 – 2022), who in his textbook of climatology pointed out the marginal influence of humanity on the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and who in…
Human-produced CO₂ by fossil fuel combustion, combined with the rising atmospheric CO₂ concentration and the observed temperature increase, enabled a compelling narrative to be constructed, in which these three facts, in that order, formed a chain of causality. The narrative…
Climate is changing and always has with many and varied recognised drivers. Earth‘s interaction with our celestial neighbours within the solar system and the solar systems relationships within the galaxy being perhaps the most recognised and important of these primary…
