But what about Eco? he's been telling us for years that the Sun was entering a cooling phase and everything was about to get cold. It appears from your data that we are cooling, so that is fine with me. But your faith in a non-existent CO2 effect is misplaced. Solar variables run the show, as many studies have demonstrated.

If air temperature increases by 1 degree Celsius, the atmosphere can hold about 7% more water vapor. This means that for every cubic meter of air, there will be about 0.4 grams more water vapor present. For example, if the air temperature is 20 degrees Celsius, it can hold about 17.3 grams of water vapor per cubic meter. If the temperature increases by 1 degree Celsius, the air can hold about 18.0 grams of water vapor per cubic meter. This increase in the amount of water vapor that can be held in the atmosphere is one of the reasons why climate change is causing more extreme weather events, such as floods and droughts. The climate is a chaotic system, but this variable is particularly important. If the atmosphere holds more moisture, it deposits more moisture upon condensation. I was asking about the absolute average temperature because of the blow temperature anomaly plot which is always used and looks catastrophic. The temperature was apparently 17.18 a few days ago. Therefore, based on the temperature anomaly plot below I back calculated the temperature at 1880 to be 15.98 degrees C. I then produced based on the same input graph an absolute average temperature graph since records began (also below) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The information is extremely scientific, I think that is what you are struggling with. The change we are worried about is 1.5C and that has always been made clear.

I then produced based on the same input graph an absolute average temperature graph since records began (also below) This chart is probably inappropriate... 1. 12 months running mean presumed to be the average of ( highest temperature - lowest temperature) per month? 2. Annual mean presumed to be the average global temperature per year? - you have global temperature always below 0.2'C until post 1980s to be 0.4'C to 1.4 'C? 3. The graph is "temperature anomaly" vs "year"? - shouldn't it be average annual temperature vs year? - by definition, the temperature has been assumed to be abnormal since 1880s? That might have been 30 to 50 years ahead of the initial concern raised against fast increasing population, possible increase of temperature etc? - by using global mean or everage, many info obscured. Allow me to make suggestions to the criteria of graph used... a) temperature should be recorded exactly per highest temperature and lowest temperature measured per day. Then there is a middle line represent mean. Three lines should be drawn in a graph with data measured. Not extrapolated. Not assumed weather report where 7 days a week or per month where the temperature would remain unchanged... b) from this, one gets mean highest, lowest per month. Accummulated data measured per 12 months gives highest, lowest and mean per year. c) seperate zones should be allocated to represent data more accurately i.e. i) tropical region ( one country or average of a few) ii) temperate region iii) polar region - from here, you can see anomaly per region, per year or per month... If there is any. We should not assume until data shows per record. Otherwise, we will interprete data according to our preset mind and assumption, skew data to fit our assumption but turn very blind to the fact shown.

What are the names of the 5 species that will be extinct by 2040? What is the error range when measuring hydrogen atoms in air trapped in ice core and relating that value to temperature of the air in a frozen part of the world and extrapolating that value around the world to come up with a global temperature 100,000 years ago? Will 1. Was on an online course about backyard weather last year. Recorded temperature for ~ two weeks. Share here as reference: Date: roughly end of august to mid september 2022. Average temperature: Highest: 18'C to 20'C Lowest: 14'C to 16'C. This is more than 10'C lower than usual 38'C - 26'C. Or, 32'C - 23'C more than 30 years ago. Mean temperature half of 2023 might have been lower than average also. It should have been burning hot but the everage has been 18'C to 26'C on most days and months. 2. Thousands estimated extinct per year... There used to be biological indexes at the back of EIA report to show original flora-fauna and possible impact. Have a quick look on a public reading version. Whatever no longer there when you take a walk in the same area could possibly be assumed extincted. 3. Hydrogen might not be accurate, too many variant.

Ecocharger + 1,474 DL July 6, 2023 (edited) The wind energy system has run into a brick wall in Britain, with even the climate agitators giving up on wind as a source of affordable energy. https://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Wind-Power/Wind-Lobbyists-Push-UK-Government-For-More-Subsidies.html "Wind industry lobbyists have urged the UK government to revise auction rules, create new targets for floating offshore wind. The proposed changes, if agreed upon by the government, would not only amplify the total subsidy but also secure industry shares in the energy market. The climate lobby group, Net Zero Watch, has called upon the government to refuse these demands." "Dr. John Constable, Net Zero Watch’s Energy Director, said: “It would be both absurd and counterproductive for Government to bail out the wind industry in spite of the evident failure to reduce costs. A refusal to learn from mistakes will be disastrous.” In a press release, the organisation argued the Government should “reject the self-serving demands” because the U.K. economy should not be expected to continue to subsidise a sector “that is still uneconomic after nearly 20 years of above-market prices and guaranteed market share”. “The wind experiment has failed and must be wound down,” it adds."
