by John Ridgway In an earlier essay [1] I explained how positive feedbacks can lead to potentially problematic scientific mono-cultures. I also acknowledged that poor research design and data analysis...
by John Ridgway Any politician faced with the challenge of protecting the public from a natural threat, such as a pandemic or climate change, will be keen to stress how much they are ‘following...
by Judith Curry A month has passed since the DOE climate assessment report was published. It’s time to reflect on what we might learn from the responses to this Report. Of particular relevance...
by Nic Lewis The determination of equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS)—the long-term warming response to doubled atmospheric CO2 concentrations—remains one of the most crucial yet challenging...
by Art Rangno How we fooled ourselves about the effectiveness of cloud seeding. The Colorado River Basin Pilot Project (CRBPP, 1970-75) is still the most ambitious, expensive randomized orographic...
by Judith Curry Climate science is baaaack Energy Secretary Chris Wright has commissioned a new climate assessment report: A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate ...
By Joachim Dengler Are the natural carbon sinks failing? For a long time, the discussion about the relation between temperature and CO2 concentration has been focused on the greenhouse effect and...
by Planning Engineer (Russ Schussler) Part 3 of this series examines power markets, promoted by policymakers (FERC) and industry advocates to lower costs through competitive bidding and merit-order...
by Planning Engineer (Russ Schussler) In Part 1, we showed how wind and solar’s low costs over 80% of the time are overwhelmed by expenses at peak times such that they offer no cost advantages to...
by Planning Engineer (Russ Schussler) Wind and solar power are often touted as the cheapest sources of electricity in many regions, capable of delivering low-cost energy for the vast majority of the...
by Judith Curry and Harry DeAngelo We have a new paper published in the Journal of Applied Corporate Finance, entitled “A Critique of the Apocalyptic Climate Narrative.” The paper reflects the...
by Russ Schussler (Planning Engineer) On April 28th Spain, Portugal and parts of France suffered a major grid outage. A formal evaluation will likely be released at a later date cataloging many...
by Douglas Sheil Last week an article in Science, by Seo and colleagues, provided compelling evidence that the world’s land surface is getting drier. This global drying averaged a loss across...
by Chris Morris Geothermal power stations are mature technology with proven performance, reliable operation and ideal for baseload generation. The units are synchronous, so they support the grid. ...
by Ross McKitrick I have a new paper out in the journal Nature Scientific Reports in which I re-examine some empirical work regarding agricultural yield changes under CO2-induced climate warming...
by Planning Engineer (Russ Schussler) The purpose of this article is to summarize and debunk many of the issues in the narrative surrounding the proposed green energy transition as applies to the...
by Russ Schussler (Planning Engineer) Prequel to “Unravelling the narrative supporting a green energy transition.” There is a powerful but misleading narrative supporting a green energy...
by John Ridgway How an emergent scientific consensus results from social engineering enabled by prosocial censorship. A recent research paper published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of...
by Planning Engineer (Russ Schussler) In October of 2025, the isolated small city of Broken Hill in New South Wales, Australia with a 36 MW load (including the large nearby mines) could not be reliably...
