Do the carbon sinks fail? Or rather their models?
by Introduction – the model dilemma There is broad consensus that the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations since 1850 is due to the sharp rise in …
Energy transition – will batteries be the solution?
It is well known that so-called “renewables,” i.e., wind power and photovoltaics, only supply energy intermittently. In Germany, photovoltaics average 800-900 full-load hours per year, …
Shares of anthropogenic and natural emissions in the increase in CO2 concentration
The publication “Improvements and Extension of the Linear Carbon Sink Model” shows that the global natural effective carbon sink depends on both the CO$_2$ concentration and the …
Carbon Sink models – conversation with GROK
Modelling carbon sinks with CO2 concentration and temperature, and the relation to the Bern model
Can you derive the dependence of the atmospheric CO2 Concentration time series from anthropogenic emissions time series , sea surface temperature time series and the …
Are the natural sinks at an End?
Articles are currently being circulated in the media claiming that natural CO2 sinks have “suddenly and unexpectedly” ceased to function, such as the article in …
Deconstructing the climate narrative

How does the atmospheric Greenhouse Effect work?
Much has been written about the greenhouse effect and many comparisons have been made. However, much of this is misleading or even wrong.The greenhouse effect …
Water Vapour Feedback
In the climate debate, the argument of feedback through water vapor is used to amplify the climate effect of greenhouse gases – the sensitivity to …
