These are key links I consider most important. The top 3 are key. Bible, if you will. The others are just here so I can conveniently find them!

• By 2021, of 79 “apocalyptic” predictions formulated since 1970 by “researchers and activists” who “predict cataclysmic events” resulting from “catastrophic climate change.” Already 48 of these “truly apocalyptic forecasts” have failed. The other 31 are likely just as wrong, but the prediction end dates haven’t expired yet, as “the apocalypse is always about 20 years out.”

• Mortality risk attributable to high and low ambient temperature: a multicountry observational study

  <- Gives man-made climate skeptics the high moral ground, and turns climate alarmists into moral degenerates.

• Novel the greenhouse gas effect, by Tom Shula. The greenhouse gas effect is the result of an error when modelling the behaviour of radiative gases in the atmosphere (AKA: greenhouse gases). Their error is to use the Stefan-Boltzmann Law (SBL) to calculate outgoing long wave emissions from the surface. SBL is only valid for substances in vacuum. Earth's surface is not a vacuum. Tom Shula demonstrates the error empirically using the Pirani gauge

Greenhouse Gas Effect, GHGE

This is central for scientists supporting the so-called climate consensus view

There are at least 4 important skeptical scientific positions on it.

1. Most of the GHGE warming is due to feedback effects which the modellers got wrong. Lord Monckton Full Synopsis of Mathematical Falisification For Global Warming Models
2. Models are too crude and biased to CO₂. A better model can be written to give more importantance to water vapour GHGE.

   E.g. Dr. David Evans

3. Models are fundamentally wrong and the GHGE is misinformation

   E.g. Dr. Roy Clark. An entirely different model is needed.

   • The Climate Greenhouse Effect
   • A Null Hypothesis For CO₂
   • Dynamic Greenhouse Effect and the Climate Averaging Paradox (short book)
4. Models are wrong and the greenhouse effect is best explained by other means.

   E.g. Ned Nikolov and Karl Zeller

Terms

• Greenhouse Effect: The earth is warmer with an atmosphere than it would be without an atmosphere. By about 33 K
• Greenhouse Gas Effect (GHGE): This greenhouse effect is due to greenhouse gases
• Greenhouse Gas (GHG): Are gases (like CO₂ and water vapour) able to absorb and emit mostly IR radiation (but sometimes UV too). (Visible radiation is largely ignored). GHGE is due to the absorption and emission delaying heat loss from the atmosphere.
