We previously brought you some of the IPCC’s latest on run-off and flooding, and we continue with their discussion of streamflow and river discharge trends from Section 2.3.1.3.6. These are...
Continuing our look at what the latest IPCC report says about rivers and flooding, especially in light of dogmatic alarmist claims that the recent British Columbia floods are entirely due...
The terrible flooding on Canada’s west coast has introduced a new term into the climate lexicon: “atmospheric river” or AR. ARs aren’t new, but the ability to track them with...
The best way to respond to a new IPCC report is to tune out all the press coverage and look at the actual document, which is the last thing most...
In honour of our video on Big Trouble in the Tropical Troposphere, which is closing in on 30,000 views in its first month online, we turn to the AR6 discussion...
By now we are all used to the pattern associated with IPCC report releases. The press coverage is an alarmist spin on the Summary, which is an alarmist spin on...
Continuing our examination of the most recent IPCC report, we focus this week on the topic most politicians have in mind when they talk about the perils of climate change,...

The best way to respond to a new IPCC report is to tune out all the press coverage and look at the actual document. But it seems to be the...
One of the main building blocks of extreme weather is so-called “Atmospheric Blocking”. When a block forms, the weather gets stalled and builds in intensity, whether it’s heat, cold, drought...
“Event attribution” is the latest fad in climatology in which scientists point to events after they have happened and try to prove greenhouse gases must be at fault. These studies...
