Scientists (Yilgan and Jónsdóttir, 2026) report annual mean sea ice extent in the Greenland Sea was 8.4 times greater in 2023 (2,403.6 km²) than in 2019 (287.6 km²). In the month of January, the sea ice extent was 6.4 times larger in 2024 (20,308 km²) than in 2017 (312 km²). Hand-in-hand with the recent sea ice expansion, the region has experienced a short-term 1°C cooling from 2016 to 2024.

Cloud cover changes are a “top-down dynamical driver” of Earth’s climate. A July 2026 Environmental Research Letters paper authored by Bellocchi et al. attributes ~80% of the rise in Earth’s absorbed solar radiation since 2000 to declining high-reflectivity cloud cover, primarily from circulation-driven contraction of storm-cloud zones. The study highlights the climate’s “albedo governance,” suggesting a 1% shift in Earth’s albedo corresponds to a 1°C surface temperature change.

In new research (Liu et al., 2026), scientists acknowledge clouds “markedly impact near-surface air temperatures” by altering the radiation budget and driving heating rates across the Arctic. For example, a cloudy day in winter may deliver 20-30 W/m² of cloud radiative forcing (CRF), warming the Arctic surface by 6-9°C.

A weather site’s amazingly sloppy measuremnt goes viral across Germany… Much of Europe has been enduring a heat wave and below normal precipitation. Not surprisingly, the media are busy using the hot weather to further promote climate alarm and get more clicks however they can. One way to accomplish this is to use sompletely bogus measurements to get viewers to believe the end of the world is near.

“Heat Deaths” According to the RKI By Frank Bosse There is a publication by the RKI [Robert Koch Institute] on “Heat and Excess Mortality in Germany.” The methodology is also explained in it: calendar weeks with a mean temperature above 20°C are filtered out, and then the excess mortality figures provided by the Federal Statistical Office for these periods are declared to be “heat deaths.” The “model” is simple and delivers the desired results: this year, up to calendar week 29, we have...

The CO2-induced “polar amplification” narrative peddled by climate alarmists has just taken another hit. It has previously been shown increasing CO2 by over 120 ppm (278 ppm to 400 ppm) cools the Antarctic climate (Notholt et al., 2024). These scientists found there has been a slight (-0.01°C) overall net cooling CO2 influence since 1750. Image Source: Notholt et al., 2024 Now a new study shows increasing the greenhouse gases CO2 and CH4 radiatively cools the Arctic too.

A recent investigative interview by Apollo News featuring former Hamburg Environmental Senator and energy expert Fritz Vahrenholt has sparked intense debate over the stability of Germany’s power grid and the future of its industrial economy. As Germany aggressively transitions away from traditional baseload power and over to erratic renewable energies like wind and sun, government agencies are secretly preparing for worst-case energy shortages.

Recent Germany forecasts of “never seen before heat” coming next week are already fizzling out. OI course there’s going to be some hot weather next week, but probably nothing like the click-baiting media have been warning. Snowfan at “wobleibtdieerderwaermung” reports today that none of the ECMWF models is predicting a heat wave and that they continue to show heavy summer rainfall across large parts of Germany.

By Kenneth Richard on 23. July 2026 Greenland is halfway through its current (2025-2026) melt season. So far it’s not looking good for the alarmist narrative. For perspective, there is more ice and snow on Greenland today than for nearly any other period in the last 10,000 years. Posted in Arctic, Cryosphere, Glaciers |
