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…
The Climate system is an extremely complex one, and it is necessary to understand its structure before analysing its dynamics and trying to make some projections of it. A key component of the Climate system is the ocean-atmosphere interface. The…
The IPCC AR6 assessment of the impacts and risks associated with projected climate changes for the 21st century is both alarming and ambiguous. According to computer projections, global surface temperature may warm from 1.3 °C to 8.0 °C by 2100,…
Advocates of non-conventional renewable energies (NCRE or renewables) claim that, by increasing electricity generation from these sources in replacement of fossil fuel-based generation, electricity prices must drop since the investment costs of these technologies have sharply dropped over the last…
This presentation was given at the Clintel Climate Conference in Prague. It was designed to be as simple as possible to describe two competing climate theories, the Radiative Transfer Concept and the Heat Transfer Concept, and that they are both…
The IPCC climate models have repeatedly shown lack of skill in reproducing observed global and regional features of Earth’s climate for the past 4 decades. These include inability to predict global patterns of warming since 1980. Thus, the IPCC models…
Over the past fifty years geophysicists have established that the planet experiences global warming and cooling episodes that are repeated about every 60 years; that these cycles are driven by decadal variations in the rate of rotation of the Earth;…
The 60-year cycle of eccentricity of Jupiter’s orbit is shown to be closely related to the 60-year cycle of Earth’s climate. Changes in Jupiter’s orbit affect the Earth’s rotation rate. The following phenomena have been shown to be related to…
