Reminder: Historical Natural Warming Rates Dwarf Modern Climate Change

Greenland has not warmed (net) in the last 90 years.

From 80,000 to 20,000 years ago Greenland warmed by 10-15 Kelvin within a span of “a few decades” 24 times (Kypke and Ditlevsen 2024).

These abrupt warming periods occurred without concomitant CO2 concentration changes. And, of course, without human interference.

In contrast, Greenland has not warmed (net) since the 1930s, or since CO2 levels rose from 310 ppm to 425 ppm (Mikkelsen et al., 2018).

And Greenland warming is “not evident during the last two decades” either (Matsumura et al., 2021).

On Friday May 31st Sir Keir Starmer promised that a new Labour government would decarbonise the UK’s electricity system by 2030 and would, at the same time, reduce average energy bills by up to £300 or roughly 20% of their current level. We know that senior politicians and lawyers see visions that not granted to mere mortals. Is there any connection between this vision and reality?

Climate campaigners are wrong as to which energy source reduces air pollution

Today’s media are filled with concerns about air pollution. But few people know which energy source has produced the greatest modern reduction in air pollution. The answer isn’t wind or solar energy. During the 1950s, my grandfather had a coal furnace in his basement, like many homes in Chicago. Five days after a winter snowfall, […]
