ALABAMA IS COOLING!

"The warming effect on Alabama of the extra GHGs is a problem as the temperatures of the recent decades (which should be responding to the warming influence of extra GHSs) have actually been cooler than earlier decades when this influence was essentially absent. A lesson here is that for small areas of the size of a state or two, the long-term natural variations are typically greater than that exerted by extra GHG's.

So much for "global warming" - no wonder it has been changed to "climate change" ! Joking aside, the real point here is that the world has so many different climates affected by so many variables that many of them will be changing in totally different ways at the same time for a whole range of reasons. CO2 changes is just one small variable among many.

  1. Science wise there is strong agreement the earth is warming from GHGs.

  2. From my Washington Post climate newsletter. Pacific ENSO is expected to shift to neutral which will influence higher average temperature for the earth. In the mean time the ocean has continually increased its energy content for all 3 La Nina periods. When we reach the next El Nino period, there will be average world temperature records set.



    Twenty-eight countries set national record-high annual averages last year, including the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Germany, China and New Zealand.

    We were lucky to be in a La Niña weather pattern, characterized by cooler temperatures and increased rainfall, because it spared us from what could have been the second-warmest year on record behind 2020, said Zeke Hausfather, a research scientist at Berkeley Earth.





    But that luck will run out next year as the La Niña pattern is expected to shift.

  3. Just because a new record high temperature has been set for a particular year there is no need to panic. The world was at the end of a mini ice age in the nineteenth century and so as we came out of that we should expect a little warming. The interesting thing ( and a surprise to many) is that many record temperatures which still stand were set in the 1930s. So relax and enjoy a slightly warmer world. It is much nicer than a return to the little ice age.

    1. The oceans are the true gauge of the earth warming. Water vapor is called latent energy for a reason. When WV condenses in a storm, it releases it energy into the storm.

      I have already shown you the NOAA heat buildup in the oceans. This effects all aspects of our weather.
