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…

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 …
