John Dee's Climate Corner
A former G7 UK government scientist gets his slide rule out.
Since my retirement from government service in 2000 I have spent my time analysing climate data instead of pruning roses. Topics have included Arctic sea ice, wildfires, carbon emissions, El Niño, IPCC reporting, urban heat islands, Alpine snowfall, Greenland’s ice sheet, Atlantic multidecadal oscillation, flooding, hurricanes, solar irradiance, Antarctic ice shelf, CONUS cooling, sea level rise, drought, European rainfall and sea surface temperature – to name but a few of the many subjects covered.
In addition I have been studying factors such as Earth’s magnetic field decline, solar activity, geomagnetism and cosmic ray flux. These projects represent a collective investment of +15,000 hours of statistical and analytical work, which is now being brought together and published via Substack, with articles offered on a weekly basis. This is made possible through subscription income upon which I financially depend.
Folk ask me how I can be an expert in all these areas and the short answer is that I’m not. I’m an applied statistician who has been trained to analyse any data, anytime, anywhere, for anybody. Whilst most folk accept that governments and the legacy media don’t always tell the unvarnished truth few realise that scientists and the major organisations that employ them are no different. My goal is to expose the many biases and climate untruths being foisted on the public.
