Evidence global air pressure changes (and causes mass extinctions)

Posted on 28 June 2015 by Scottish-Sceptic

I’ve been looking to find any evidence that might suggest global pressure has changed as suggested by the hypothesis that the end of the ice-age is caused by around a 30% increase in global air pressure (equivalent to an increase … Continue reading →

Evidence global air pressure varies? – Is this a wheel falling off the caterpillar?

Posted on 27 June 2015 by Scottish-Sceptic

The main prediction from the caterpillar theory of plate tectonics is that we should see changes in volcanic emissions resulting in changes to the atmosphere such as increasing CO2 & pressure. The Caterpillar theory is that thermal expansion during the … Continue reading →

Calculation of pressure change need to induce ice-age cycle

Posted on 26 June 2015 by Scottish-Sceptic

In my previous post I suggested that the addition of gases to the atmosphere from volcanic activity could have increased the atmospheric pressure and that would have changed  global temperature giving us the current warm interglacial. Today I thought it … Continue reading →

The evolution of the present CO2 desert

Posted on 26 June 2015 by Scottish-Sceptic

After yesterday’s article on the carboniferous desert (350-250million years ago), I’ve added a section to the article suggesting why we had the second drop in CO2 from around 150million years ago to the current “2nd CO2 desert”. See: http://scottishsceptic.uk/2015/06/25/lignin-and-the-carboniferous-co2-drop/

Lignin and the carboniferous CO2 drop

Posted on 25 June 2015 by Scottish-Sceptic

If one looks at the graph of CO2 over the last 600million years there is a noticeable drop in CO2 levels in the carboniferous – a period when the world experienced it’s first “CO2 desert” with very low levels of … Continue reading →

More Caterpillars: The Leaky Atmosphere Hypothesis – is global pressure a proxy for global temperature?

Posted on 25 June 2015 by Scottish-Sceptic

Most of this article was written before Roger Tallbloke pointed out that the suggestion the earth’s global temperature is controlled by the earth’s pressure was suggested by Nikolov & Zeller before 2011 (but on longer timescales). This means key point … Continue reading →

Big fall in sun's output would slow global warming in Europe, US -study shows

Posted on 23 June 2015 by Scottish-Sceptic

OSLO, June 23 (Reuters) – A fall in the sun’s heat output to levels last felt 300 years ago would slow temperature rises in the eastern United States and Europe, This just shows we sceptics were right. It was the … Continue reading →
