Ned Nikolov and Karl Zeller have just had a huge, paradigm shifting paper published by peer reviewed journal MDPI Geomatics. This was an invited paper, so Ned and Karl didn’t have to pay fees for it to be open access. You can freely download and share it, (local copy here). The peer review process took 45 days, with only minor revisions to the manuscript required. MDPI operate an open review process and you can see the questions asked by the reviewers and clarifications provided by the authors at the relevant links on their site.
In many regards, this paper represents the culmination and summation of the scientific work Ned and Karl have been publishing over the last 15 years. Here at the talkshop, we’ve been following and discussing the development of their empirical and theoretical work. We picked up on their first publicly available work, an extended poster on their Unified Theory of Climate written following a conference presentation in 2011. In May 2022 we published their paper analysing the CERES data and deriving climate sensitivities to various forcings for open peer review. The present paper draws it all together and fills the gap left by the IPCC in their AR6 climate report by their misrepresentation of and failure to discuss the decrease in reflected solar radiation and its effect on increases in Earth’s surface temperature. As Ned and Karl’s new paper shows, it’s the primary cause of the observed warming in Earth’s surface temperature.
The new paper also discusses how the IPCC’s central concept of ‘heat trapping’ by ‘greenhouse gases’ arises from a misconception of the reason the outgoing energy flux attenuates with altitude. This reduction of energy with height is actually largely due to quasi-adiabatic processes which reduce the per-unit-volume energy of rising air parcels as they expand into the lower pressure regime aloft.
Ned’s announcement of the new paper on X has caused a stir. Since 5pm BST yesterday, it’s been liked 4.3k times and reposted 2.4k times, with over 180 follow up comments.
