White Spruce Seedling Responses to CO2 Enrichment and Warming (8 August 2016)
It would appear that the more the trees are exposed to greater-than-current atmospheric CO2 concentrations and temperatures, the more they are able to make better use of limited water supplies...

Antarctic Sea Ice Increase A Thorn in the Side of Global Warmers (5 August 2016)
In a world of supposedly dramatic global warming, how is it that Antarctic Sea Ice continues to expand its coverage of the Southern Ocean?...

Six Decades of Temperature and Precipitation in Kentucky (4 August 2016)
How have these two climate variables been impacted by anthropogenic CO2 emissions over this time period? The answer might surprise you...

Plant Growth Database (3 August 2016)

CMIP5 Simulations of 1850-2005 South Asian Summer Monsoons (2 August 2016)
How well have the models done in their "predicting" of the past? One might assume quite well. But in doing so, one would be found to be quite wrong...

CMIP5 Projections of Australian Summer Monsoon Onset and Retreat (2 August 2016)
As is the case with climate models in general, most up-to-date models of earth's monsoons fail to perform properly in a host of different ways...

The Greening of North California's Coastal Santa Cruz Mountains (29 July 2016)
Even in times of drought, the second-growth evergreen forests of the region -- which has a prior history of extensive forest logging -- continue to increase their cover of the land...

Human Mortality Due to Heat is NOT Rising! (29 July 2016)
Despite current temperatures rising to levels characterized by climate alarmists as unprecedented over the past two millennia or more, the relative risk of temperature-related human mortality events has not increased, which observation is just the opposite of what climate alarmist projections say it should be...

New Evidence That Reef Islands Can Repair Storm Wave Damage (27 July 2016)
Real-world observations clearly demonstrate that storm-battered reef islands can take a real beating, leading to a significant loss of area, only to come back even bigger and more stable than they were before...

Plant Growth Database (27 July 2016)
Our latest result of plant growth responses to atmospheric CO2 enrichment obtained from experiments described in the peer-reviewed scientific literature is for Garden Pea (Butterly et al., 2016). To access the entire database, click here.

Learning to Live in a Warming World: How Pool Frogs Do It (25 July 2016)
A new experimental finding suggests that if frogs can tolerate the heat of climate-model-predicted global warming, various other animal species may also be able to do so...

Mediterranean Europe's Fire History: Getting Better or Worse? (22 July 2016)
While climate models suggest worse, real-world data suggest better. So what's the latest scoop on the subject?...

Three-and-a-Half Centuries of Drought in Southwest China (22 July 2016)
