People who have strong feelings about something ought to back them up with something. That at least would demonstrate the level of strength behind those feelings. I am not a fool, and I don't intend to put my house up or in fact any money whatsoever, to back what I am going to say here.... Continue Reading →
Southern Oceans Cooling This Year
For the first time in three years a new negative Indian Ocean Dipole is emerging. That's good news for Australian rainfall over the coming Spring and Summer, and for overall climate conditions.

Arctic Sea Ice Update for July 2025
Yesterday, you may have seen the article below in my report on Arctic Sea Ice as at end July, 2025, where I promised to say more about it soon. Well, there is a daily update August 1 now, but whether this is just a late last update from the old system, I don't know, and... Continue Reading →

Keep Calm – And Never Mind the Weather – It’s Not Climate Relevant
Hello! It's your climate man again. I have found a little more to say than I did a couple of days ago. Here's today's Arctic Sea Ice chart, courtesy, once again, my playing with NSIDC interactive Charctic graph. The picture didn't look too great a few days ago, nothing serious, but this time I have...

Guilty of Misnaming Climate Effects. A Mistake Which Confuses Everybody.
Let me begin by saying that I am, on occasion, guilty of misnaming climate effects. But I am not alone in that. And I have the excuse that I am not a scientist, nor was I ever desirous of becoming one. I am an intelligent person (my own self-rating) who has spent much of his... Continue Reading →
