Climate Change Alternative Theory 1. Overview Climate change alternative theory endeavours to provide logical explanations for climate change and other natural occurrences that are not adequately understood. Such explanations must be based on scientific facts and must account for facts of experience clearly without the need to hide facts and/or falsify figures. Such explanations must provide satisfactory answers as to why certain natural occurrences happen and illustrate clearly how they happen. This information is important if we are to develop appropriate adaptive and mitigatory measures to natural occurrences most of which are disastrous. 2. Core Perspective Climate change alternative theory takes the perspective that planet earth operates in a simple mechanical manner with varying consequences some of which can be and have been devastating to life. A broad and comprehensive perspective is advanced based on the two heat sources relationship between planet earth and the sun. Explanations are also being provided for specific natural occurrences to ensure clear and consistent understanding of reality for purposes of developing relevant and appropriate responses. 3. Implications The contention here is that responses are based on perception of causes of phenomena and misconceptions would only result in irrelevant mitigatory measures. Incorrect understanding of causes of climate change would result in irrelevant policy measures and actions like planting trees or seeking to reduce greenhouse gases as means of controlling climate change without success. Another tragedy is that of paying a lot of attention to space while ignoring the fact of great amounts of heat inside the planet which is responsible for many of the challenges on the surface

Media and Climate Change

Media and Climate Change According to ChatGPT, ‘The media plays a powerful role in shaping public understanding of climate change’. It goes further to say that the role of the media ‘is not to advocate for a particular scientific theory,…

Conference of the Parties (COP) 31

Conference of the Parties (COP) 31 COP 31 scheduled for November 2026 in Turkey like previous COPs will bring together tens of thousands of people to talk about climate change. COPs are organised by the UN through IPCC and UNFCC and…

Earthquakes and Climate Change

Earthquakes and Climate Change The relationship between earthquakes and climate change is intricate. The two phenomena are primarily caused by the same forces. Heat generated and accumulating beneath the crust causes the expansion of lava and gases therefore building pressures…

What causes earthquakes?

What causes earthquakes? This question has been answered on the explanations page of this website but will be repeated for the convenience of the reader. Earthquakes are caused by imbalances between upthrust and down thrust forces acting on crustal plates.…

Earthquakes and Greenhouse Gases

Earthquakes and Greenhouse Gases Earthquakes and greenhouse gases have a relationship that has not been talked about much.  Gaskell, T.F. in his book ‘Physics of the Earth’ published in 1970 wrote about research findings which established that certain gases were…

Heatwaves, heatwaves and heatwaves

Heatwaves, heatwaves and heatwaves Persistent occurrence of heatwaves across certain regions or countries in the world particularly in the northern hemisphere raises some fundamental questions. What causes heatwaves and why have they become more common and intense in recent times?…

Mitigating Heatwaves

Mitigating Heatwaves Mitigating heatwaves require the development of mechanisms to facilitate rapid escape of earth’s heat directly into the open space. Observations from volcanic eruptions have demonstrated that when earth pours out its heat into open space, the globe cools…

Heatwaves and cities

Heatwaves and cities Cities have in recent times been thought to have some peculiar relationship with heatwaves. This school of thought is anchored on the argument that greenhouse gases cause global warming and cities have many vehicles and industries emitting…

Comparing Flash Floods and El Ninos

Comparing Flash Floods and El Ninos EXTREME WEATHER There are both similarities and differences between flash floods and El Ninos. Similarities are largely in their causes and manifestations. READ MORE Similarities1) Both require the first condition of excess vapour in…

What Causes EL Nino?

What Causes El Nino? GLOBAL IMPACTS El Nino occurs when volcanoes erupt simultaneously or after one major eruption like that of Mt. Tambora in April 1815 which resulted in the ‘year without summer’. READ MORE Such eruptions do come after…
