Greenhouse gas warming
should most affect the poles,
and least affect the tropics.
That pattern happened in the Northern
Hemisphere, but not in the Southern
Hemisphere.
The reduced temperature differential
between the Arctic and the Tropics,
after 1975, should result in milder
Northern Hemisphere weather.
Let's consider good and bad
weather records in the US.
Were there more bad weather records,
and fewer good weather records, after
global warming began in 1975 ?
Actually,
just the opposite happened.
just the opposite happened.
Bad weather records
were set long ago and
good weather records
were set after 2005 !
