The Heartland Institute

The Chinese Academy of Sciences in June 2013 translated and published a Chinese edition of Climate Change Reconsidered and Climate Change Reconsidered: 2011 Interim Report , two hefty volumes containing more than 1,200 pages of peer-reviewed data on climate change originally published by The Heartland Institute in 2009 and 2011 ...

One of the potential consequences of the historical and ongoing rise in the air’s CO2 content is global warming, which phenomenon has further been postulated to produce all sorts of other undesirable consequences. The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, for example, contends that current levels of temperature ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Craig Idso, Keith Idso, and Sherwood Idso drafted and submitted the following letter to Congress in response to a letter recently submitted by 18 scientists urging Congress to pass legislation to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The Idsos are scientists who operate the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change ...

Warming temperatures in Canada are causing butterfly species to extend, rather than contract, their geographical range, according to a study published in Environmental Entomology by University of Winnipeg Associate Professor of Biology Richard Westwood and his colleague David Blair. Northern Ranges Extended The University of Winnipeg ...

The Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) is seeking nominations for Contributing Authors for the second edition of Climate Change Reconsidered (CCR-2), expected to be released in 2013. Nominations will be accepted now through November 15, 2010. In June, 2009, NIPCC produced an 800-plus page assessment of ...
