The IPCC makes predictions. Do they come true? — Starting with James Hansen’s work in the late 1970s and early 1980s, “scientists” have been predicting that human emissions of CO2 are going to cause tropical mid-troposphere temperatures to rise. Successive IPCC reports kept doubling down on this prediction, until the Fifth report in 2018, which states: Fourth, all models…

If your theory doesn’t fit the data, your theory is wrong Today we’re looking at the rate of change. Are temperatures rising faster than ever before? The Smoking Gun If you read the IPCC reports, as I do, you may have noticed that they present no data from about 100,000 years ago to…

Does CO2 warm or cool the poles? — This is the fourth installment in my series asking hard questions. What happens if we add more CO2 to the atmosphere? It seems common knowledge that more CO2 will raise the overall temperature on earth, despite evidence I and others continue to present to the contrary. But … what about…

This is the next installment in my series asking hard questions. People either comment saying I must be paid by oil companies (wrong) or they say this isn’t very much evidence, it could easily be that CO2 is a factor in driving warming. It could be. I’m stacking up a…

If you’re just joining me, the first installment gives the rules for this series. People who leave insulting and nasty comments are showing their IQ. Let’s review the evidence Was the Little Ice Age real? Was it worldwide? The following summaries come from my page tracking peer-reviewed papers that go against the common…

When the data conflicts with your belief, what do you do? — Old habits die hard. Once a meme gets started, once it has become institutionalized, once it’s in all the textbooks, it’s very difficult to dislodge. Yet no one would learn about today’s world by reading a textbook published in 1970. I claim the number one reason people are such die-hard…

A good company will always “solve for the customer.” A bad company will look for excuses. — First, a reminder: last week I announced my project to kill the ESGs. If you are interested, see my website, cuttingthroughthenoise.net, and sign up for the slack. You can ignore the rest of this, unless you’re interested in corporate failure.
