Moving generational trends in global mean temperature anomalies and moving generational average fossil fuel emissions for the study period 1850-2015 do not show a statistically significant detrended correlation that can be interpreted in terms of the theory of anthropogenic global warming which...

Implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) marks a shift in the priority of the UNDP from tackling poverty to tackling climate change. This shift erodes the ability of the UNDP to perform its primary function of providing development assistance to poor countries. The climate...

It is standard procedure in the study of global warming to deseasonalize the temperature time series monthly means into monthly “temperature anomalies” by subtracting the corresponding monthly mean temperatures in a reference period. This procedure contains the assumption that the seasonal...

Atmospheric CO2 concentrations and surface temperature reconstructions in the study period 1850-2017 are used to estimate observed equilibrium climate sensitivity. Comparison of climate sensitivities in the first and second halves of the study period and a study of climate sensitivities in a...

The deseasonalized monthly mean surface temperature time series for Nuuk, Greenland in the 148-year sample period 1866-2013 shows a statistically significant OLS warming trend of 0.1C per decade. Rescaled range analysis of the deseasonalized and detrended residuals reveals a high value of the...

A month by month trend analysis at an annual time scale of the daily mean Central England Temperature (CET) series 1772-2016 shows a general warming trend for most autumn and winter months. These trends are usually described in terms of anthropogenic global warming (AGW). OLS diagnostics reveal...

A Monte Carlo simulation of monthly mean surface temperatures is used to construct a time series of 156 moving decadal temperature trends in a 165-year sample period from 1850 to 2014. We define the current pause in global warming as five consecutive moving decades without a statistically...

A statistically significant correlation between annual anthropogenic CO2 emissions and the annual rate of accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere over a 53-year sample period from 1959-2011 is likely to be spurious because it vanishes when the two series are detrended. The results do not indicate...

Deseasonalized and detrended correlation analysis of mean monthly atmospheric CO2 concentrations and mean monthly surface temperature anomalies in the sample period 1958-2015 shows a statistically significant correlation that peaks when surface temperature lags atmospheric CO2 by four months....

Detrended correlation analysis in the sample period 1984-2013 shows no evidence that annual changes in atmospheric methane net of oxidation losses are responsive at an annual time scale to human activities having to do with enteric fermentation, rice cultivation, hydropower generation, and...
