New study: A giant 8000-yr-old oyster found ~20 km inland from today's coast affirms it was then ~4°C (up to 8°C) warmer with 1-3 m higher sea levels. "winter temperature in Taipei Basin ~7660 cal BP was estimated as 15-23°C, warmer than today [14-16°C]" cambridge.org/core/journals/…

New study: The Southern Ocean (50-70°S) and SE Pacific (160-80°W) cooled -0.35°C (-0.117°C/decade) from 1979-2013. Authors claim North Atlantic warming forced 35+ years of cooling, but then also link cooling to internal variability, cloud cover increase. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

New study: •Warmth benefits humanity and may be natural. •Cold (LIA, 1600s) destroyed civilizations (crop failures). •Elevated CO2 has greened the planet. •3°C of warming only reduces GDP by <1%. •Storms, floods, extreme weather have been declining. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aj…

New study: Nobel Prize-winning paper introducing CO2 'radiative forcing' is a "mathematical artifact" built on simplified assumptions. The IPCC-endorsed 1D model assumes a flat ocean, constant humidity, steady state temperatures, ignores evaporation... doi.org/10.53234/SCC20…

New study: The claim CO2 changes drive temp changes currently or during the ancient past is "based on imagination and climate models full of assumptions." The causality direction has been T→CO2 for the last 541 million years...and even since the 1950s. aimspress.com/article/doi/10…

New study: It's "common belief" that warming/sea ice decline will lengthen the Arctic's NW Passage shipping season. But since 2007 sea ice "choke points" have REDUCED shipping season length by 5-14 weeks. The negative trend "shows no signs of reversing". nature.com/articles/s4324…

New Study: Central Europe was "2-5°C warmer than present" throughout most of the Holocene. There were also millennia (e.g., ~54-51k and ~14.7-13k years before present) during the last glacial (when CO2 was ~190 ppm) that were as warm or warmer than today. cp.copernicus.org/articles/20/84…

New study: Plant transpiration is vital to plant growth, ecosystems. Rising CO2 (1990-2020) is largely responsible for planetary greening, plant transpiration. "higher atmospheric CO2...triggers...increased vegetation production and a greener landscape" sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New study: ~7300 years ago Estonia's climate was 2-3°C warmer, sea levels were 10-20 m higher. Ongoing relative sea level fall (postglacial uplift) since 1900 (see maps) means lagoons are disappearing, islands are becoming peninsulas, coasts expanding... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New study: Fairy shrimp 𝐵. 𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑖 occupied the ice-free Monolith Lake (Antarctic Peninsula) for much of the (warmer) last 2000+ years, only disappearing during Neoglacial cooling periods. Today there are no 𝐵. 𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑖. The lake is permanent ice. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New study: CO2's impact limit is the ocean's ~10 μm (0.01 mm) skin layer, where temp variation is "impossible" to measure and must be "schemed" using 0.5-1 m models. The only factors driving ocean heat flux ⇅ mentioned are solar radiation and wind. gmd.copernicus.org/articles/17/51…

New study: Since the 1980s, "elevated CO2 concentrations not only boosted vegetation growth [greening] through the fertilizer effect but also indirectly enhanced water availability [and reduced drought risk] by improving water use efficiency." iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

New study: S. Greenland's summer (June-Aug) climate averages ~10°C today. Summer mean water temps (SMWT) were ~14-15°C from 3k to 8k years ago, decreasing for the last 1.7k years. From 12-11k years ago, regional sea levels were 120 m higher than today. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New study: Over the last 2000 years S. Carpathian temps ranged from 13.4°C to 16.9°C. The mean S. Carpathian temp during 1980-2010 was 14.8°C. While the region warmed by ~0.6°C (to 15.8°C) from 1895 to 1970, it cooled -1.1°C (to 14.7°C) from 1970-2000. researchgate.net/profile/E-Magy…

New study: 8000-6000 years ago GBR water temps were 4°C warmer, sea levels ~2 m higher, and climate was wetter with more terrestrial runoff (elevated water turbidity, nutrients). Yet coral reef growth was "substantial and active" during this interval.🤔 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New study: An albedo-induced solar radiation increase (+2.7 W/m²) explains 100% of the warming trend since 2000. "A global longwave radiative forcing predicted by climate models and attributed to rising concentrations of [CO2] does not exist in reality" mdpi.com/2673-7418/4/3/…

New study: 8200 years ago sea levels rose 6.5 m in 140 years, or 470 cm/century. In contrast, sea levels rose 15.6 cm/century from 1900-2018 (nature.com/articles/s4158…). Earth’s natural sea level rise rates are thus 30x greater than the modern period’s.🤔 tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.108…

New study: IPCC uses "assumption and speculation," "imaginary data" to claim human CO2 emissions stay airborne 10,000 years, but nature's emissions last 4 years. An observation-based theoretical framework (RRR) affirms a 4-year residence for ALL CO2. mdpi.com/2073-4441/16/1…

New study: "The main factor governing the annual increase in [CO2] is the SST" The predicted CO2 ppm using regression analysis derived from 1960-2022 SSTs has a correlation of r = 0.9995. "anthropogenic emissions have been irrelevant in this process" doi.org/10.53234/SCC20…

New study: High/low magma activity periods warmed/cooled the oceans and drove >1000 (<300) ppm CO2 levels (Henry's Law) over the last 66 Ma. T⇅ is the "primary determinant" of CO2⇅. CO2 is a spectator, has "no explanatory value", "should be set aside". mdpi.com/2076-3263/14/9…
