If you had ever taken statistics you would know that 1 data point is not enough to declare a plateau on an extended time series. All the chart shows is a typical yearly variation as has been happening over the past 50 years.

No, it is clearly consistent with the predictions of the beginning of a cooling phase, as predicted by the solar cycle models, and is inconsistent with the CO2 models. If a model predicts that the warming phase transitions to a cooling phase in 2020, and we see a sudden plateau develop in 2020-2022, then that is a remarkable prediction fulfillment. It has nothing to do with long range statistical correlations but is a point prediction.

Here is the article,

https://research.noaa.gov/article/ArtMID/587/ArticleID/2874/Study-Reducing-human-caused-air-pollution-in-North-America-and-Europe-brings-surprising-result-more-hurricanes

So this article shows how reduced particulate effluence from industry and ICE vehicles has impacted climate change. That is not a CO2 engineered change, but a reduction in toxic effluence. The strength of this effect detracts from any measured relationship between CO2 increase and measured earth temperature change.

In case you still don't get it, Jay, this would represent a reduction in any measured CO2/earth temperature relationship.

The article shows that human industrial activity is capable of changing the climate. Removing particulates would only return us to pre industrial status which would not cause a temp rise relative to that period. What can be surmised is that particulates have slowed down the CO2 effect and as they have been reduced CO2 has had a greater affect.

No, Jay, it means that the reduction of particulate toxic effluence in the period 1980-2020 has been a principle cause of global warming. That means that any observed increase in global warming must therefore take into consideration the effect of reduced particulate effluence, and therefore models which rely on CO2 without accounting for reduced particulate effluence are incorrectly specified and produce biased results. 

"Over the last 40 years, Europe and North America have been leaders in reducing particulate air pollution from industry, autos, energy and other sources. The increasing absence of human-caused air pollution in the Northern Hemisphere, estimated to be a 50-percent drop in concentration from 1980 to 2020, has led to surface warming over the tropical Atlantic Ocean, which contributes to more frequent tropical cyclones. Without significant amounts of particulate pollution to reflect sunlight, the ocean absorbs more heat and warms faster. A warming Atlantic Ocean has been a key ingredient to a 33-percent increase in the number of tropical cyclones during this 40-year period, Murakami said."

No that isn't how it works. The lack of particulants during pre industrial times did not lead to temp rise. Their removal has perhaps unmasked the CO2 heat effect. 

It is really quite simple. Industrialization led to the production of a cooling agent and a heating agent that offset each other. The cooling agent is unquestionably bad for human health so we began to remove it. In doing so the heating agent was no longer moderated and is now becoming harmful so we must remove it as well.

No, Jay, read the study. It is the removal of industrial particulate that has caused global warming in the period 1980 to 2020. Their removal to the extent of 50% has caused global warming, and the failure of the CO2 climate models to include particulate variables has now rendered those CO2 models obsolete. In other words, the effect of CO2 is grossly overstated in the standard CO2 climate models, which focus on the 1980 to 2020 period.

If you knew anything about statistical models, it would not be necessary for me to educate you on how such models work, or in this case do not work. In the standard climate models, it appears that the CO2 variables are acting as surrogates for the excluded particulate variables. That means that these models are not reliable.

Here is the annual series since 2020. The first annual data point is 2020. The second annual data point is 2021. That adds up to a grand total of two annual data points. 1+1=2  2022 is not an annual data point yet, but Q1 is a hint at what it might be and it is up from 2021.

heat provides energy to particles ( atoms, molecules etc). The more energy they need to distance themselves from each other, the more heat they can absorb or retain.

How do greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere?

Greenhouse gas molecules in the atmosphere absorb light, preventing some of it from escaping the Earth. This heats up the atmosphere and raises the planet’s average temperature.

 

February 19, 2021

What do CO₂, methane, and water vapor have in common? If your first thought was “greenhouse gases,” you’d be correct! Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, in a process called the “greenhouse effect.”¹ But how do these molecules actually warm our planet?

We’ll start our exploration of greenhouse gases with a single carbon dioxide (CO₂) molecule. Let’s say this CO₂ molecule came from the exhaust in your car. From your tailpipe, it drifts up into the atmosphere, diffusing among the other gases. There, particles of light—photons—hit our molecule.

So what happens to those photons? “Greenhouse gas molecules will absorb that light, causing the bonds between atoms to vibrate,” says Jesse Kroll, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Chemical Engineering at MIT. “This traps the energy, which would otherwise go back into space, and so has the effect of heating up the atmosphere.” Basically, the bonds between the carbon and oxygen atoms in our CO₂ molecule bend and stretch to absorb photons. (With other greenhouse gases, the molecular bonds are different, but in all cases, they absorb photons, stopping them from leaving the atmosphere.)

Eventually, our CO₂ molecule will release these photons. Sometimes, the photons continue out into space. But other times, they rebound back into the Earth’s atmosphere, where their heat remains trapped.

And importantly, greenhouse gases don’t absorb all photons that cross their paths. Instead, they mostly take in photons leaving the Earth for space. “CO₂ molecules absorb infrared light at a few wavelengths, but the most important absorption is light of about 15 microns,” says Kroll. Incoming light from the sun tends to have much shorter wavelengths than this, so CO₂ doesn’t stop this sunlight from warming the Earth in the first place. But when the Earth re-emits this light,² it has a longer wavelength, in the infrared spectrum.

And the range of wavelengths around 15 microns is a particularly crucial window. The most common greenhouse gas, water vapor, doesn’t efficiently absorb photons in this range. So when CO₂ grabs photons with wavelengths around 15 microns, it’s selecting for the same light that normally has the easiest time escaping Earth’s atmosphere.

There’s another reason why CO₂ is such an important greenhouse gas: it has a long atmospheric lifetime. This has to do with the way CO₂ reacts (or rather, doesn’t react) with the atmosphere. “The atmosphere is a very oxidative environment due to the presence of oxygen and ultraviolet radiation,” says Kroll. Oxidation occurs when oxygen steals electrons from another atom—it’s the same chemical reaction that causes iron to rust. Methane, another greenhouse gas, reacts easily with oxygen, which removes it from the atmosphere within around 12 years. That’s long enough to affect the climate, but nowhere near the lifetime of CO₂, which does not react with oxygen and can last over a century.

CO₂’s long lifespan is the key reason that human activities are leading to climate change. As we keep taking carbon-based compounds like coal and oil out of the ground, and put that carbon in the atmosphere in the form of CO₂, the added CO₂ piles up much faster than it can be naturally removed.

Ecochump you are as wrong as it gets

Statistically the past 7 data points are all above the 1970-2020 linear fit......meaning that they do not represent a plateau at all. To make a call that a Plateau (temporary) has been reached you would need 7 or more of the of the last 10  data points to be under the linear fit line. If 7 data points out of the last 10 are below the linear fit line.....all you could say at this time is a temporary plateau has been reached. You would need to go to 2025 with many data points below the linear fit line and a flattening (horizontal) 10 year moving average to even call it a plateau....

and yes I took University stats and in one of my businesses I use stats every day.......The business is run completely by statistics.......

 

The chart Jay presents clearly does not show  a plateau, it just shows that the last 7 data points are higher than what would be predicted and that a return to the linear rise in global temperature has occurred in the last  data point

The Trump-era special prosecutor begins his first trial this week, but the verdict hardly matters.

Kimberley Strassel argued that Durham had already accomplished the “far bigger goal” than convicting Sussmann — to “put every sleazy collusion player in the hot seat, with ramifications beyond the courtroom.”

One large metorite strike or large volcanic activity can cause enough particulate matter to blot out immense amounts of sunlight over a long period of time. Water vapor as in clouds does the same. Compare those to Asia's daily expelling of particulate matter from coal plants that blackens the skies of their cities most days of the year. Then add all the asphalt and concrete that mankind has used to build roads and cities around the world since before cars became commonplace. Then add in all the "adjusted" data by "scientists" who have received large grants by governments to proliferate more climate crisis propaganda.

Some problems with this interview (it is not a scientific study, but an interview for a blog policy advocate). It ignores the fact that other greenhouse gases are many thousands of times more potent than CO2, which is a relatively weak greenhouse gas, and secondly, high levels of earth temperature and low levels of earth temperature are negatively correlated with CO2 levels.

In other words, the actual scientific tests show that these ideas do not happen in the real world.

No, it shows a clear plateau, which coincides with the predicted commencement of a cooling phase consistent with solar cycle data. 

You should be happy about this, as the solar cycle impact on earth temperature will overcome the impact of reduced particulate effluent.
