A Möurnful Application of Care and Skill 9 Aug 2013 | 05:50 am
Not long ago WUWT reported on a paper published by Nils-Axel Mörner and Albert Parker. It’s their attempt to argue that sea level isn’t accelerating, and that sea level rise is nothing for Australia t...
Michael Mann Understands Science 2 Aug 2013 | 10:07 pm
One of my favorite movies is Apollo 13, the tale of the fateful mission of astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert. Their hopes to land on the moon were dashed when an on-board explosion c...
Observe Closely 1 Aug 2013 | 08:08 am
As strange as it may seem … I expected better, even from Anthony Watts’ blog. That’s right. I said it. There’s a post by Nils-Axel Mörner on WUWT which attempts to dispute concerns about sea level ris...
Misunderstanding Period Analysis 31 Jul 2013 | 11:52 pm

Candy from a Baby 29 Jun 2013 | 12:06 am
A new paper by Lewis and Karoly (2013, GRL, doi: 10.1002/grl.50673) concludes that man-made global warming has increased the odds of hot summer weather such as Australia suffered recently. The paper s...

Anthony Watts noticed that the NOAA/NCDC global temperature for May 2013 was touted as the 3rd-hottest May on record. He didn’t like that, so he decided to call it into question. In fact he refers to ...
