Millennial Moisture Variability on the Eastern Tibetan Plateau (26 February 2018)
This long-term reconstructions reveals there is nothing unusual, unnatural or unprecedented about moisture conditions over the most recent century...
The Combined Impact of Ocean Acidification and Diet on Slipper Limpet Larvae (23 February 2018)
Slipper limpet (Crepidula onyx) larvae appear to be resilient to ocean acidification and decreased algal nutritional value...
The MWP and LIA in Southern Inner Mongolia (22 February 2018)
Real world data once again demonstrate the very real existence of these two climatic periods (MWP and LIA), which climate alarmists would like to erase from the historical temperature record so as to push their false narrative of a monotonic warming of modern temperatures due to rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations, which they additionally (and incorrectly) claim have pushed temperatures to levels that are now unprecedented over the past one to two millennia...
Recovery of Plant Species Diversity in an Alpine Meadow After Two Decades of Simulated Warming (21 February 2018)
In previously published work, experimental warming was shown to induce an approximate 40% decline in plant species numbers after four years. Repeating the analysis following two decades of warming revealed not only a reversal of this trend, but a complete recovery such that the number of species in both control and experimentally-warmed plots were the same...
Plant Growth Database (20 February 2018)

Phenotypic and Genetic Adaptation to Warming in a Freshwater Grazer (19 February 2018)
A novel study reveals Daphnia magna can cope with rising temperatures by means of both phenotypic and genetic adaptation...
Temperature-Induced Morbidity in California (16 February 2018)
Cold weather events send people to the hospital for health care treatment at a rate that is twice as great as that produced by warm weather events...
A Coral's Biological Control of its Calcifying Medium to Favor Skeletal Growth (15 February 2018)
Despite seawater pH levels that are hostile to coral calcification, corals are able to biologically upregulate the aragonite saturation state and carbonate system ion concentrations in their extracellular calcifying medium so as to continue skeletal growth under the most pessimistic of ocean acidification scenarios...
35 Years of Hail Frequency and Intensity Records for China (14 February 2018)
Contrary to model-based predictions, hail events (frequency) and hail sizes (intensity) are both declining across China...
Plant Growth Database (13 February 2018)
Our latest result of plant growth responses to atmospheric CO2 enrichment obtained from experiments described in the peer-reviewed scientific literature is for Chinese Yam grown at ambient fall temperatures (Thinh et al., 2017). To access the entire database, click here.
Pikeperch Fish Response to Super High CO2 Levels (12 February 2018)
Adult pikeperch fish are shown to be able to well-tolerate pCO2 levels as high as 19,000 µatm...
A Global Analysis of Recent Trends in Streamflow (9 February 2018)
Evidence of increased flooding due to rising concentrations of greenhouse gases (as predicted by climate alarmists) remains elusive in this comprehensive analysis of global streamflow trends...

Elevated CO2 during in vitro propagation improves the survival of walnut microshoots following transfer to an ex vitro environment...
Copepod Response to Ocean Acidification and Salinity Stress (7 February 2018)
Resilience and phenotypic plasticity appear to drive the mostly positive responses of Gladioferens pectinatus growth and development to these two stresses...
Plant Growth Database (6 February 2018)

No Evidence of an Anthropogenic Influence on Floods (5 February 2018)
There is no evidence that anthropogenic climate change has exerted any influence on major floods across North America and Europe over the past 80 years...
Phenotypic Adaptation of an Arctic Copepod to Ocean Acidification (2 February 2018)
Altered gene expression allows C. glacialis to phenotypically adapt to extreme levels of ocean acidification (down to a pH of 7.50) so as to maintain normal nauplii development...
Green Tea Quality Enhanced By Elevated Levels of CO2 (1 February 2018)
Increasing levels of atmospheric CO2 not only stimulate the growth and development of C. sinensis (the plant from which green tea is made), but it also enhances the production of health-benefiting substances in its leaves, while restricting a well-known health-harming one (caffeine)...
