Abstract: Scientific orthodoxy based on the acquired authority of some scientists has seriously hampered the progress of the natural sciences in the past and continues to do so today because of new societal influences, such as directive funding and political interference in the setting of research objectives. Enhancing the progress of science must continue to […]

This special report by the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society presents assessments of how climate change may have affected the strength and likelihood of individual extreme events.

GWPF Press Release: A new paper published in the prestigious journal Climate Dynamics finds that the effect of carbon dioxide emissions on global temperatures is likely to be even smaller than previously thought. Earlier this year, in a widely discussed report for the Global Warming Policy Foundation, climate researcher Nic Lewis and science writer Marcel […]

Abstract. We have examined the variation of carbon-14 content in annual tree rings, and investigated the transitions of the characteristics of the Schwabe/Hale (11-year/22-year) solar and cosmic-ray cycles during the last 1200 years, focusing mainly on the Maunder and Spoerer minima and the early Medieval Maximum Period. It has been revealed that the mean length […]

Claims of 97% consensus on global warming depend on research described as fraudulent and biased A new briefing note published today by the Global Warming Policy Foundation examines claims made by a great many commentators across the world, including President Obama and Ed Davey, of an overwhelming consensus on climate change. These depend on research that has been […]

Daniel L.R. Hodson,* Jon I. Robson, and Rowan T. Sutton, Department of Meteorology, University of Reading, UK – Journal of Climate 2014 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1175/JCLI-D-14-00301.1 Abstract In the 1960s and early 1970s sea surface temperatures in the North Atlantic Ocean cooled rapidly. There is still considerable uncertainty about the causes of this event, although various mechanisms have been proposed. In this observational study it is […]
