(Sorry not an April fool – I was planning something but I was making such progress I didn’t have time to complete). After examining the temperature records with a view to creating a single “reliable” record, I realised that something … Continue reading →

First let’s show the maps that make me so excited SO2 emissions as seen via satellite: Now let’s focus on that Chinese plume which I’ve highlighted in green: Now let’s see the temperature trend map for this area: As you … Continue reading →

After publishing my previous article showing very strong that pollution works in two different ways to affect the climate: one causing warming and the other cooling, I was asked the question: “don’t the climate models include aerosols/SO2” The simple answer … Continue reading →
