Adjusted Global Temperature Data

Way back in 2011 I co-authored a paper with Stefan Rahmstorf (Foster & Rahmstorf 2011, hereafter FR11) in which we adjusted global temperature in order to remove (as best we could) the influence of factors we knew were only temporary, … Continue reading

The 5 Most Important Data Sets of Climate Science

Back in July of 2008 Stefan Rahmstorf gave a presentation to the Arctic Expedition for Climate Action about “The 5 Most Important Data Sets of Climate Science.” You might disagree with his choice of “5 most important,” I might disagree … Continue reading

Cancelling the New York Times, because truth is now more important than ever

Because of their hiring a climate denier, Stefan Rahmstorf (from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impacts Research) has cancelled his subscription to the New York Times. Here is his letter to the editor: To the executive editor The New York … Continue reading

Record global warming, or warming slowdown?

Guest post by Stefan Rahmstorf, Grant Foster, and Niamh Cahill A look at the global surface temperature evolution makes one thing very clear: claims that global warming has “stopped” or “slowed” are not exactly supported by the recent data. Last … Continue reading

One Sentence, So Many Mistakes

Anthony Watts has a post at WUWT which illustrates beautifully just how disconnected he and his followers are from reality.

Thoughtful, Insightful, Intelligent Commentary

Stefan Rahmstorf has written a commentary in the Sydney Morning Herald urging Australians to step up on emissions cuts. It’s one of the most intelligent and persuasive such commentaries I’ve seen.

Slowdown Skeptic

I’m skeptical. In particular, about this idea that the rate of global warming at Earth’s surface has recently exhibited a slowdown.

Is Earth’s temperature about to soar?

A recent blog post on RealClimate by Stefan Rahmstorf shows that when it comes to recent claims of a “pause” or “hiatus,” or even a slowdown in global surface temperature, there just isn’t any reliable evidence to back up those … Continue reading

Making Up Stuff

One of the most effective techniques by which deniers persuade people, especially policymakers, that it’s OK to do nothing about man-made climate change, is also one of the most reprehensible. To whit: just make up stuff.

Smooth

NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) has updated their global surface temperature estimate to include November 2013. It turns out that this most recent November was, globally, the hottest on record: Greg Laden posted about it (and other things) … Continue reading
