Chapter 6 compares observations regarding the fate of terrestrial animals to projections made by the IPCC. The IPCC assumes temperatures will rise so rapidly that many animal species will not be able to migrate poleward in latitude or upward in elevation rapidly enough to avoid extinction. New research and observational data ...

The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), already under severe criticism for violating the requirements of academic peer review and relying on secondary sources, comes under attack again in a new report co-produced by three nonprofit research organizations. According to the new report, “natural causes ...

Chapter 3 reviews the latest research on paleoclimatology and recent temperatures, finding new evidence that the Medieval Warm Period of approximately 1,000 years ago, when there was about 28 percent less CO 2 in the atmosphere than there is currently, was both global and warmer than today’s world. Research also reveals a significant ...

Chapter 1 of Climate Change Reconsidered 2011 Interim Report describes problems that may be intrinsic to the global climate modeling exercise, followed by more detailed documentation of model shortcomings involving precipitation, temperature, El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and soil moisture. We find evidence that the models ...

Chapter 5 compares observations concerning extreme weather, such as floods, drought, storms, and hurricanes, to projections made by the IPCC. Researchers have found extreme and destructive rainfall events were more common in many parts of the world during the Little Ice Age than they have been subsequently, contradicting the forecasts ...
