The global average temperature
is a statistic, not a measurement
of an actual temperature.
There must be hundreds
of ways to compile
a global average.
There’s no way to know
which compilation
is “the best”,
or even if any of them
are accurate,
and a good representation
of the actual climate.
If one compilation
keeps adjusting data,
without good explanations,
that could be a problem.
Especially “adjustments”
made years, or decades, later.
If a compilation requires
wild guess infilling for a majority
of it’s surface grids, that’s a
potentially large problem.
There’s no way to know
what a “normal”
global average is.
Using 1750 as “normal”
makes no sense.
1750 was not long after
the coldest decade
of the Little Ice Age .
Central England real time
temperature measurements
during the Little Ice Age,
reflect +3 degrees C.
of warming since the
coldest year in the 1690s.
Why start counting
with a cool 1750 climate,
that was not liked
by people at the time?
Because using
a cool weather
starting period
is very useful
for climate change
propaganda !
All averages
obscure details.
A global average
obscures a lot of details.
Even more important,
is that no one lives
in an average temperature.
People live in
local temperatures.
If they are ever
going to be harmed
by climate change,
then it will be
from changes in
local temperatures.
Local temperature changes,
that people did not like,
might not even be visible
in a global average.
Or the global average
might change in a way
that leads to climate
scaremongering,
while people are happy
with their local temperatures.
The single number
global average temperature
is a propaganda tool.
Consider that 99.999%
of the past
4.5 billion years
have no real time
temperature data.
So people are looking
at less than 0.0001%
of this planet’s
temperature history,
with very questionable
numbers before World War II,
and declaring that 1750
represents a “normal”,
or good, temperature
… and anything warmer
(which people love) is bad?
What people really need to know
is WHERE the warming is happening.
In the upper half of the Northern
Hemisphere, warming is good news!
What people really need to know
is WHEN the warming is happening.
In the coldest six months of the year,
warming is most likely to be good news.
What people really need to know
is in WHAT HOURS of the day
warming is happening?
Nighttime warming, while most people
are sleeping, is much less noticeable
than daytime warming, when people
are much more likely to be outdoors.
Well, guess what
-- the warming since 1975
has been mainly
in the northern half
of the Northern Hemisphere,
mainly in the coldest
six months of the year,
and mainly at night!
That's pleasant
global warming,
for the few people
who live in those
high latitudes !
How much of the above details
would anyone know from a
global average temperature?
None.
The length of
the growing season
is important.
Farming productivity
is important.
Sea level relative
to ocean side homes,
and businesses,
could be important.
The global average temperature,
especially changes of less than
one or two degrees C.,
over a century or two,
is NOT very important.
Except as a propaganda tool
for climate scaremongering.
If we knew the exact global average
temperature, that everyone agreed
was accurate (if that was possible),
that would provide no useful information
about the future climate — we would still
have NO IDEA if the future would have
global warming, or global cooling.
The global average temperature
serves one devious purpose
— it keeps skeptics
busy arguing
about meaningless
tenth of a degree C.
anomalies !
Meanwhile, the evil climate alarmists
are finally revealing their “Climate Plans”,
which was the goal of decades
of climate scaremongering .
Their plans are leftist central planning
“to save the planet for the children”
(nonsense, of course, the planet
does not need saving — the current
climate is wonderful).
The leftists can’t sell socialism
by claiming lower unemployment, or faster
economic growth — so they have created
a fake climate crisis, and then claim
only they can prevent it.
Sounds stupid,
but it works
on gullible people.
The climate on our planet
has been warming,
and improving,
for over 300 years
since the coldest
decade of the
Little Ice Age (1690s)
— only a fool would want
that mild global warming
to stop.
Meanwhile,
climate alarmists
climate alarmists
ignore the past
78 years of adding
lots of man made CO2
to the atmosphere.
They keep predicting
a FUTURE global warming rate
that will be QUADRUPLE
the actual global warming rate
from 1940 through 2018
a FUTURE global warming rate
that will be QUADRUPLE
the actual global warming rate
from 1940 through 2018
Their +3 degrees C. per century
global warming FANTASY,
vs. +0.77 degrees C. per century
global warming REALITY,
from 1940 through 2018.
Their predictions have
been far off for 30 years
— over 60 years if you start
with Roger Revelle in 1957.
So why should government policies
be based on consistently wrong
climate predictions?
Of course they should not !
What a bizarro world we live in,
with people afraid of
the staff of life — CO2.
