New Science 13: The Start of a New Architecture for Climate Models
… In most ways, David Evans’ alternative model is exactly the same as the conventional model. But a reconnection of one forcing, and an additional factor, can make all the difference. Finally, climate...
View ArticleLucia has a bad week on partial derivatives
We welcome collaboration, but empty, uninformed ill-will doesn’t help the unresourced skeptics to beat the billion dollar green machine. It’s time for Lucia to admit she got it wrong. Lucia’s second...
View ArticleNew Science 14: Greenhouse Emission Layers — which pipe is the biggest?
Here we get into the nitty-gritty (as much as we can) of the energy coming off the planet. Looking at the spectrum of outgoing infrared we can learn a lot from the Nimbus data. In the graph below we...
View ArticleNew Science 15: Modeling outgoing radiation (OLR)
OLR — outgoing longwave radiation — is so key, so central to the climate debate that if we had top notch data on the radiation coming off the planet, we would have solved the effect of extra CO2 a...
View ArticleNew Science 16: Building the alternative model and why it solves so many...
In typical style I looked at this draft and told David that the second half of his post should be at the top (that’s where he discusses how his model solves so many problems). He replied that the...
View ArticleNew Science 17: Solving the mystery of the missing “Hot spot”
Things are hotting up. After all the hard work of the past few posts, the payoff begins. By solving the flaws inherent in the basic conventional model we solve some of its biggest missed-predictions....

Image: NASA In years to come it may be recognized that this blog post produced the first modeled accurate figure for climate sensitivity. Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity sounds dry, but it’s the...
View ArticleNew Science 19: The invisible nameless model that controls the whole field of...
Don’t underestimate the importance of the nameless basic model. It sounds small, but in the culture and philosophy of climate science it’s bigger and carries more weight than the massive hairy GCMs....
View ArticleNew Science 20: It’s not CO2, so what Is the main cause of Global Warming?
We are back in the hunt for the main mystery drivers of our climate. The IPCC says it can’t be the Sun because the total amount of sunlight barely changes. Which is the usual half-truth that pretends...
View ArticleNew Science 21: The mysterious Notch in the Sun-Earth relationship — the dog...
The notch in the Sun-Earth relationship is the dog that didn’t bark — the clue that was there all along, telling us something about the way the Sun influences Earth’s climate. There is a flicker of...

We’re launching headlong back into the New Science series with a major post Lots of things will fall into place — as befits a potential paradigm step forward. For decades, people have been looking to...
