@elonmusk Large municipalities in France have decided to limit access to older vehicles to preserve their "clean air" (sic) https://t.co/V8u5qeLDEI   
This has severe socio-economic consequences for the poorest driving old cars. Please help pushing Macron to resignation.

Durkin’s “Climate the movie" is out. Here are some links to the science behind it (at least the stuff that I and my close colleagues worked on).

Link to the movie: https://t.co/ad4tSCWG39

a) The sun has a large effect on climate. There are many studies showing this (all the way from Sir William Herschel’s work in the late 18th century). Here are two examples that *quantify* this link and show that more than an order of magnitude larger than changes in the solar irradiance (which is the only component the IPCC is willing to admit that exists):
https://t.co/c0L4jqFHLt
https://t.co/PWMEvgSTeo
These by themselves don’t indicate that the link is through cosmic ray flux variations. The fact that it is through cosmic ray flux variations is totally irrelevant to understand 20th century climate change. The only thing relevant is that the sun is important, yet it is ignored by the "mainstream" community.

Nonetheless, we believe that the link is through cosmic rays because of the following:
b) We discovered microphysical processes (theoretically and in the lab) which link the atmospheric ionization to the production condensation nuclei and their growth to become cloud condensation nuclei, e.g.,
https://t.co/mCDQW0keQ5
https://t.co/lFwbwwGYOj

c) We see empirically that changes in the cosmic ray flux following Forbush decreases translate into changes in the atmospheric aerosols and other cloud parameters, e.g.,
https://t.co/WhEqiZU5dg
https://t.co/08HqPqtr1Y

d) We see that changes in the cosmic ray flux on geological time scales (of millions of years) translates into changes in the climate:

https://t.co/vFqwuHSKX4
https://t.co/wMqgw63w0U
https://t.co/sj7CwrPhuk

Yet the IPCC ignores all of these, because it would imply that the story is little more complicated and significantly less catastrophic…

How Cloud Cover and Atmospheric Density Control Global Warming

The atmosphere’s density regulates the greenhouse effect. Climate scientists estimate that around 30% of the downward infrared energy from greenhouse gasses that slow the earth’s surface cooling originates in just the lower 10 meters of our atmosphere, the densest layer. Over 80% of the downward infrared originates between the surface and 500 meters of altitude.

Low altitude clouds, like various stratus clouds, can increase the amount of downward infrared but decrease solar heating. Stratocumulus and stratus clouds shade roughly a fifth of the oceans, reflecting 30 to 60 percent of incoming solar radiation. However above 500 meters, the infrared emitted from clouds escapes more easily to space as decreasing air density reduces the greenhouse effect.

Cumulus-type clouds are the result of rising thermals as convection carries most of earth’s solar-heated surface warmth up and away. As clouds form, the latent heat stored in the air’s water vapor is released as that vapor condenses into liquid drops. Water vapor is the earth’s dominant greenhouse gas contributing at least half of any greenhouse warming. Vapor condensation in clouds dries the air above the clouds and reduces most of water’s greenhouse effect at those higher altitudes.

Cumulus clouds typically form at altitudes between 300 and 1500 meters. Anvil clouds (cumulonimbus) form where strong convection carries heat and moisture to the stratosphere (6000 to 20,000 meters) enabling heat to escape virtually un-impeded. Earth’s stratosphere on average is about as dense as Mars’ atmosphere. Even though 95% of Mars’ atmosphere consists of CO2, its atmosphere is not dense enough to intercept much escaping infrared. So, Mars’ night-time temperatures typically plummet by 83°C to 99° C below zero.

Anvil clouds are excellent indicators of where heat is being released unimpeded to the stratosphere. Overall, clouds can reveal where the greenhouse effect has become greatly reduced with little impact on our surface temperatures.

In addition, any decline in cloud cover not only reduces infrared heating from low-altitude clouds, fewer clouds will increase solar heating. When testing for natural contributions to global warming, most climate models only consider change in the sun’s irradiance but ignore how clouds control the intensity of solar heating, especially in the tropics. Since 1980, satellites have detected a significant drop in the percentage of cloud cover (graphic A). The warming effect of reduced clouds coincides with the hypothetical relationship between warming and rising CO2 concentrations.

Natural La Nina-like conditions have been shown to reduce cloud cover over the eastern Pacific. As seen in graphic B the eastern Pacific, most affected by La Nina conditions, is the region with the greatest flux of solar energy into the ocean. The solar heated waters are then circulated away from the equator towards the poles. The blue regions in graphic B, indicate where that heat is released. Due to this transport of heat, regions outside the tropics enjoy warmer temperatures than possible if only solar and greenhouse radiation alone is considered.

To understand why solar energy, not CO2 is heating the oceans, watch: Science of Solar Ponds Challenges the Climate Crisis https://t.co/ULR7Ejd7XU

Lastly, that scientists report the Pacific Ocean shifted from El Nino-like conditions with more cloud cover during the Little Ice Age, to the dominance of La Nina-like conditions and reduced cloud cover in the eastern Pacific over the past 150 years. So it should be no surprise that oceans have absorbed more solar heat resulting in a warmer earth .

Electricity prices have roughly trebled in real terms since ministers started to force the UK's coal-fired power stations to close. Even power cuts won't make Net Zero cultists see sense. Instead they'll use them as a pretext to impose energy rationing. https://t.co/ja39Vc0FMp

661 gigatonnes de masse supplémentaire : La banquise de l’Antarctique continue de s’agrandir

Les scientifiques ont constaté que la plate-forme de glace autour de l'Antarctique a considérablement augmenté entre 2009 et 2019. Comme cela ne correspond pas au récit commun des fanatiques du climat, le grand public l'ignorera certainement

La plate-forme de glace est un pilier important pour les glaciers, et ces zones sont exposées à de grandes fluctuations naturelles. Les fanatiques du climat aiment choisir de gros effondrements dans la mer pour soutenir leurs théories, mais ignorent délibérément la croissance d'autres. Une approche très sélective qui ne se rapporte même pas la réalité.

Au total, 18 calottes glaciaires se sont retirées et 16 autres plus grandes auraient augmenté de superficie.

Divers volcans sont également susceptibles d'être l'une des raisons de la fonte des glaces dans la partie ouest de l'Antarctique.(...)

China INCREASED their CO2 emissions in first quarter by MORE than the whole of UK produced in total. In just 3 months they wiped out any 'benefits' UK's entire #NetZero programme to 2050 would bring

So why are we doing #NetZero in UK?

Economic suicide.
