There’s been no pause in global warming!
I discovered this over at Climate Denial Crock of the Week, but thought I would also post it here. It’s very good video explaining why there has been no pause in global warming. I think it explains the basic science … Continue reading
A little more about the supposed pause or decline!
I wrote a few days ago about the possibility that, as far as global warming is concerned, we’re now in a pause or a decline. To summarise that post, there is no evidence that we are in a pause or … Continue reading
Watt about the pause or decline?
There is a recent post on Watts Up With That (WUWT) called are we in a pause or a decline (now includes at least April data). The answer, in my scientific opinion, is neither. I don’t quite know what argument … Continue reading
The Escalator
One of the most well-known graphics from Skeptical Science is the escalator. It illustrates how contrarians tend to cherry-pick short time intervals so as to argue that there’s been no warming, while “realists” recognise the reality of long-term warming. A … Continue reading

Kooninisms
Gavin Schmidt has a Realclimate post about a recent talk given by Steve Koonin. Somewhat bizarrely, Koonin has a response to Gavin’s post that he has posted on WUWT. Given that Koonin has no climate expertise, presumably he thinks that … Continue reading
Eric’s Memes
Eric Winsberg teaches philosophy at the University of South Florida. He specializes in philosophy of science, in particular computer simulations in science. He wrote a book that may interest AT’s readers, called Philosophy and Climate Science. We met over teh … Continue reading

I’m confused….
Recently, Warren Pearce and colleagues published a paper called [b]eyond climate consensus which I wrote about here. There was a response from John Cook, one from Naomi Oreskes, and a Guardian article by multiple authors. Pearce et al. have now … Continue reading

Assessing global warming
A couple of years ago I wrote a joint post with Roger Pielke Sr that discussed assessing anthropogenic global warming. The post basically used changes in ocean heat content to assess anthropogenic global warming. The basic idea (which is not … Continue reading
Manichean paranoia
Some have encouraged me to watch Roger Pielke Jr’s presentation on Climate politics as a manichean paranoia, and I have now done so (slides here, and I’ll post the video at the end of the post.). Manichean paranoia refers to … Continue reading
David Whitehouse is very confused
David Whitehouse, who is Science editor for the Global Warming Policy Foundation, has an article in the The Spectator, apparently presenting the truth about the global warming pause. It is, to be polite, very confused. For starters, it defines the … Continue reading
