Still No Global Warming June 2021
11 Jul 2021 Leave a comment
The post below updates the UAH record of air temperatures over land and ocean. But as an overview consider how recent rapid cooling has now completely overcome the warming from the last 3 El Ninos (1998, 2010 and 2016). The UAH record shows that the effects of the last one are now gone as of April 2021. (UAH baseline is now 1991-2020).
For reference I added an overlay of CO2 annual concentrations as measured at Moana Loa. While temperatures fluctuated up and down ending flat, CO2 went up steadily by ~55 ppm, a 15% increase.
Furthermore, going back to previous warmings prior to the satellite record shows that the entire rise of 0.8C since 1947 is due to oceanic, not human activity.
The animation is an update of a previous analysis from Dr. Murry Salby. These graphs use Hadcrut4 and include the 2016 El Nino warming event. The exhibit…

Wind energy in crisis as expansion stalls in Germany
10 Jul 2021 Leave a comment
Feldheim village near Berlin, Germany.
Subsidies drying up. Public resistance to wind turbines in the neighbourhood. Is the climate steamroller running out of puff in Germany?
– – –
The German wind power industry is suffering setback after setback, says The GWPF.
Hardly any new turbines are being built, and more and more old wind turbines are being phased out. Now wind industry lobbyists are calling for new subsidies and construction rules to be relaxed.
In the Free State of Bavaria there is almost nothing going on when it comes to wind power.

Reviewing The Pink Panther Series

The Pink Panther (1963)
Release Date: December 18, 1963
Director: Blake Edwards
Studio: United Artists
The Pink Panther is the first film in the “Pink Panther” series featuring Peter Sellers as the bumbling but lovable French inspector, Jacques Clouseau. This first film focuses on the story of Sir Charles Lytton (played by David Niven) who moonlights as the jewel thief, the “Phantom.” It was an amusing film however later films are superior because they focus mainly on the foibles of Inspector Clouseau.
A Shot in the Dark (1964)
Release Date: June 23, 1964
Director: Blake Edwards
Studio: United Artists
In many ways A Shot In The Dark is the first true “Pink Panther” film, despite technically being the second “Pink Panther” movie following the prior year’s The Pink Panther (1963). With Peter Sellers accidentally tearing up pool tables, walking into walls, stumbling into fountains, getting arrested numerous times, and accidentally…

July 9, 1762: Catherine II becomes Empress of Russia via a coup d’état. Part I
10 Jul 2021 Leave a comment
Catherine II (born Sophie of Anhalt-Zerbst: May 2, 1729 – November 17, 1796), most commonly known as Catherine the Great, was Empress of All Russia from 1762 until 1796 – the country’s longest-ruling female leader. She came to power following a coup d’état that overthrew her husband and second cousin, Peter III. Under her reign, Russia grew larger, its culture was revitalised, and it was recognised as one of the great powers of Europe.
Catherine was born in Stettin, Pomerania, Kingdom of Prussia (now Szczecin, Poland) as Princess Sophie Friederike Auguste von Anhalt-Zerbst-Dornburg. Her father, Christian August, Prince of Anhalt-Zerbst, belonged to the ruling German family of Anhalt. He tried to become the duke of the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia but in vain. At the time of his daughter’s birth Christian August held the rank of a Prussian general in his capacity as governor of the city of Stettin.
