Ned Nikolov, Ph.D.

This is an updated list of peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations, video podcasts, and key blog articles explaining various aspect of our new climate-science paradigm currently known as the Nikolov-Zeller (NZ) Climate Concept. This full-fledged, physics-based and data-driven concept will eventually replace the "greenhouse theory" of climate change, which was proposed as a pure conjecture more than 120 years ago, and is now falsified by modern satellite observations from projects such as NASA CERES (ceres.larc.nasa.gov): Peer-reviewed Scientific Papers: - 2014.

@larkam51 Yes, WWA appears to be a journal for political activists!

@NikolovScience WWA only publish junk studies and never real science.

The World Weather Attribution published a JUNK study today claiming that the recent unusual heat wave over the Western US was caused by human carbon emissions: worldweatherattribution.org/record-shatter… In the section Key Messages, they state: "... events as warm as in March 2026 (in Western US) would have been virtually impossible without human-induced climate change." Of course, the study authors did not analyze the NASA CERES data, and do not mention at all the observed rapid increase of absorbed solar radiation (ASR) by the Planet due to a decreasing cloud albedo, especially since 2015. The warming during the 21st Century was 100% caused by the Earth's albedo decrease assisted by a slight increase of incoming solar flux above the atmosphere (TSI). See this 2024 paper: mdpi.com/2673-7418/4/3/… The 1st attached graph shows the relationship between ASR and global temperature from March 2000 to Dec 2025. The second graphs compares modeled and observed global temperatures. The modeled time series is computed from NASA CERES data of albedo and TSI changes. No CO2 signal is present in the data!

@FrankEse7 CO2 has nothing to do with the albedo decline! We currently have no models that can predict future albedo changes, and we don't even understand, what cosmic forcing is controlling the cloud albedo.

@NikolovScience Very interesting study. Without knowing the causes of that plummeting albedo in recent years, it is complex to predict. Is there no relationship between that reduction in albedo and CO2? Or is it related to something else, like a decrease in aerosols or solar activity? Tonga?

Is the Keeling CO2 curve a result of real measurements or a model simulation? x.com/NikolovScience…

@SteveHislop4 Correct!

@NikolovScience It shows absolutely no fluctuation during Covid, where everything came to a halt. I also never understood why one is measuring in close proximity of an active volcano and at 3300mtr height.

This is the ground zero of Europe's "Net Zero"...

@nfl4sage Indeed! Corruption pervades deeply into the climate science and many "skeptical" scientists show sign of it in their views and papers.

@NikolovScience Because their conclusions follow their funding!

Why is CLINTEL featuring this extremely confused & nonsensical paper on their website (mdpi.com/2073-4433/17/3…)? The author of the paper, Frank Stefani, is apparently not familiar at all with the NASA CERES data, because he makes the following ridiculous statement in the Abstract: "It is demonstrated that the SST can be predicted until around 2000 almost perfectly using only the aa index, whereas for later periods the role of CO2 increases significantly." The CERES data unequivocally show that the global warming since 2000 was caused by a decrease of Earth's cloud albedo, which has nothing to do with CO2. See this 2024 paper for details: mdpi.com/2673-7418/4/3/… Why are there so many confused & uninformed researchers in climate science?

@ClintelOrg This paper by Frank Stefani is completely misleading and factually WRONG!

Frank Stefani compared solar variability and CO₂ emissions as drivers of sea surface temperatures. His study estimates a transient climate response (TCR) of about 1.1 to 1.4 degrees, near the lower end of the IPCC range. The results align closely with other observation-based estimates.

@joe51du Our published work has been met by SILENCE. They don't want to discuss our papers because (a) they have no valid arguments against our findings; and (b) they don't want to attract attention to our concept, since it has the power to collapse the entire climate narrative.

@NikolovScience Vaccines have saved millions of lives and it is ridiculous to say that over 200 years of vaccine science is based on a rotten foundation. I don't claim to be a climate science but we both know how your work is viewed by the vast majority of climate scientists.

Those, who have been following the scientific literature on vaccines, are not surprised by this news: A lot of vaccines do not work and never did! Some such as flu, pneumonia, and COVID shots have negative efficacy, meaning that they increase your chance of getting sick! Dich all "vaccines", and instead supplement with vitamins D3, K2, magnesium & zinc. Also, follow a low-carb diet free of ultra-processed foods!

😆😂🤣 Can you imagine now that the Democrats were ready to vote for this fellow to be a second-term US President? We should never forget the LUNACY of the Left and never allow them to take the Precedency again... 😎

@joe51du I'm pro truth, not "anti" anything! It's not my fault that climate science and vaccinology have been built on rotten foundations, i.e. wrong paradigms.

@NikolovScience Your are an anti vaxxer besides an AGW denier! How much further down the rabbit hole of science denial are you going to fall?

There are things that AI is awesome for... 😂🤣

@chrissyprissy35 I agree! Democrats used to be normal people 25-30 years ago. They have since morphed into a moronic crowd driven by irrational ideologies that represents a clear & present danger to our civilization. Hence, they need to be isolated & confined.

@NikolovScience We need to quit giving the Democrats the slightest amount of credibility. They think the rest of us are as stupid as their voters. We need to show them how wrong they are!!
