In early December, the Arctic practically spread to Russia (and Europe), see following chart:
Image: Temperature anomalies of up to -30°C below the seasonal average. Cropped at EIKE.
Extreme cold set in across most of Russia’s 17.1 million km² territory, the third year in a row that the country has suffered from severe frost in early December: -61.1°C in Delyankir on December 8, 2021 and -61°C in Oymyakon on December 12, 2022.
Lowest in 40 years
In the vast region of Yakutia (3.1 million km²), half of the weather stations there reported temperatures below -50°C on December 4. In the city of Iema, an early temperature of -58.7°C was recorded on December 5, the lowest December temperature in the city for more than 40 years.
Cropped at EIKE.
Other outstanding values include -58°C in Oymyakon and -56.1°C in Agayakan, although values below -50°C were regularly recorded.
A worsening of the frost is predicted for the rest of December. As gismeteo.ru reports, temperatures of -60°C and below would be reached in Oymyakon on December 5 and 6.
Further intensification is then expected.
The largest country in the world is suffered from an all-encompassing, record-breaking deep freeze. On Sunday, December 3, according to local meteorologist Yevgeny Tishkovets, a daily record for snowfall was set dating back to 1878, breaking the previous record set in 1980.
Munich Germany sees massive snowfall
Large parts of Europe also saw extreme cold weather and heavy snowfalls earlier this month. Munich was blanketed by over 40 cm of snow and saw the mercury plummet to -18°C.

Munich’s earliest recorded-18°C temperature
This was extremely rare for early December. In fact, this is the earliest -18°C the airport has ever recorded.
Surprisingly, there was frost practically all over Germany on Monday afternoon. The following chart shows low temperatures recorded on December 4th.

Snowstorm grounds 800 flights
On Saturday, December 2nd, 46 cm of snow fell in Munich – a record for a December that goes back to 1933 and beats the previous monthly record of 44 cm set on December 29, 1938. As a result, almost 800 flights were canceled on Saturday alone.
Power grid teeters
The German power grid, which is recklessly geared towards renewable energies, is struggling to meet the increased demand for energy.
The government is panicking and now backtracking as ill-advised measures pushed through by corrupt/weak politicians are taking their revenge (along with an over-reliance on Russian gas).

Why Half-Asleep Bears Are Wandering Around Russia Right Now
The Amur region in east Russia has seen abnormally high
temperatures this fall
Those Russian temperatures were below -60 C in 2021, 2022, 2023
Here, in Vermont, we just had some sleet, after some rain
During the past 40 years, NOAA measurements in summer increased 1.5 F, in winter 4.0 F
I enjoy lower heating bills!!
If Russian climate gets 4f warmer year round they might be less aggressive with southern neighbors
My ex is in Tula Russia (120 miles from Moscow home of Tolstoy). she reported yesterday the temp was -9C but it has been snowing nonstop. On a political note Putin’s war has hurt Russians badly with very high inflation and of course inability to get goods from the EU and US,
You’ll recognise the Hadley Cell – rising warm (not hot) moist air over UK and Western France = temps of 17°C (Portugal) to 10 or 11°C UK and onshore winds
Over ‘Russia’ is the resistant ridge = the descending leg at a central pressure of 1050mB (totally insane in itself)
But there is no sun to heat the ground through all that clear sky during wintertime, the stratosphere is just above Yekaterinburg’s head and the descending air is now cooling faster than it can katabatically heat.
Hapless Munich is at the crossover (haha Tipping) point where the last vestiges of warm moist air ramp skywards into the stratospheric cold and drop their water-load as snow.
Looking at that, how could ANYONE be surprised at what’s happening.
(Colours represent wind speeds, the temps are visible in the coloured circles – if the image-compressor allows)
See all around most of Europe and Asia, offshore winds are still flowing = drying out the ground in preparation for an even greater roasting next year.
i.e. Lots of ‘Temperature’ but no Energy – climate scientists in the house: Take note
I made my prediction here & now, will anyone remember it in 12 months time?
You got your record high temps through the summer but there is a catch:
A warming atmosphere represents a cooling Earth = the most basic thermodynamics possible.
How anyone could believe and convince themselves of anything else goes to the very heart of this insanity.
and that is what climate science is: Real. Actual. Madness.
The proposed and actual remedies are even worse.
and no-one this time next year will have any recollection of what I just said.
will they.
History Repeats
Diarise it Peta, then post it as an article this time next year.
Peta, enlighten me, please.
I thought the northern extent of a Hadley cell was about 30 degrees latitude south of the UK?
True, we don’t get Hadley cells this far north in the UK, but we do get Ferrel cells, which are somewhat similar in many respects.
“A warming atmosphere represents a cooling Earth”
Sometimes that’s true. Not all times.
Early this am heard Justin Rottblatt of the British Broadcasting Company delivering a long piece on this exceptional cold phenomenon and getting round to blaming it on global warming hence climate change.
Then I woke up.
Radio woke – it’s beyond a joke
ill-advised measures….

Story tip
Bristol Airport fire: Blaze rips through car park as 11 vehicles damaged
…
it appears to have been caused by “accidental ignition”.
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/bristol-airport-fire-blaze-rips-31641015
Could easily be a short in the 12V system, which applies to all vehicles. (apart from those with 24V or old 6V)
But was it?
I can’t count the number of ICE car fires I have attended in the past. They are not particularly bad. 99% of them were dumped, stolen cars deliberately lit to destroy evidence. Easily extinguished by the fire service with water.
An ICE car ignited in a car park next to my neighbours car a few years ago. The car was destroyed but all my neighbours car endured was bad external scorching and melted plastic.
So, when 11 cars are affected you have to wonder
I don’t know and I suspect neither do you.
Just saying don’t jump to conclusions
Smoke is the wrong colour for an EV fire, they typically have clouds of whitish-grey smoke, not black. Wasn’t there reportedly a problem with some new diesel exhaust systems where the emissions reduction unit catches fire? I believe it might have been particularly in Jaguar Land Rover vehicles, but can’t remember the details.
The media do their best to withhold rather than report.
Then they complain about conspiracies
True and I certainly wouldn’t discount the idea of an EV being caught up in the fire, given that it seems to have spread very rapidly to the 11 cars before the fire crews could even get to them, but the pictures of the fire and smoke would seem to indicate mainly ICE fires. You remember the pictures of the Felicity Ace, with the big billowing white-grey clouds of smoke? That seemed to be more typical of EV fires.
Wouldn’t it turn black once the internal plastics and rubber start to melt and burn?
Might do, but it didn’t with the Felicity Ace fire so why would it here? My money is on one of the emissions reduction gizmo’s that had to be fitted to diesel engines – another fire hazard. Anyone might think that modern cars were being desogned to burst into flames!
Yeah, we had a workshop fire here in Swindon (UK) this week. 11 vehicles damaged and it took 4 hours to put out.
Swindon Powertrain do sports car engine tuning and also do electric vehicle conversions. Hmmm.
https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/23979079.cause-crampton-road-fire-swindon-workshop-revealed/
Russia and other parts of Central Asia/Eastern Europe are certainly having a cold spell.
Meanwhile, globally, every single day (including today) since early July continues to set a new warmest global temperature record for that date.
It is highly likely that UAH will be adding yet another warmest monthly temperature record to its global data at the end of December.
The global picture today – (note the cold area in central Asia):
As you can clearly see.. apart from the blistering COLD in Russia and Scandinavia
(people might freeze to death , but what do you care)
The only exceptional warmth is in the Arctic in early winter.. where there don’t have any real measurements anyway. Odd that it isn’t affecting the sea ice, isn’t it. 😉
And the Antarctic where they have just had record snow falls.
Now.. Have you worked out how much WARMER it must have been 1000 years ago, when forests grew where now there are glaciers ?
You seem to have real difficulty even understanding the question… Why is that?
As you can clearly see, despite a cold area in Eurasia, it is still the warmest Dec 11th globally since instrument records began.
All lies.They use the adjusted temps so there is no real data in their predictions consequently their results have no value.
Wow, it’s warmer in the Antarctic than normal – still way below zero – and where there are many more weather stations (and people) it’s much colder than normal – and you choose to focus on the fairytale ‘warmth’. Interesting.
PCman999, that’s one of the statistical tricks they play on the unwary.
If a polar winter goes up from -50°C to, say, -30°C they then take those numbers and average them out across the globe. Next step is to claim we are all going to boil to death when many liveable places aren’t really changing much at all.
Even by warmunist think, the warming is going to be most pronounced in cold places, in winter, at night.
‘Global-milding’ is the true description of the most alarmist CO2 science.
Yeah, it is a MISLEADING narrative they push because they are obsessed over anything warming real or not which is what makes them unreliable.
Almost all the weather stations are in urban areas so with the increased solar energy the Earth has received over the last 50 years they heat up.
Still, about 4 million more people are dying from cold-related causes than heat-related causes.
The cold or cool air causes more heart attacks and strokes in the cooler months because our body’s blood vessels constrict when it is cool or cold to preserve heat, raising our blood pressure.
You are truly full of shit since the article isn’t discussing warming trends it is ALL about cold WEATHER events some that are record breakers.
You obsession to thread jack in thread after thread to push a narrative not mentioned in the article at all is clearly a single you are a warmist jackass!
Even these urban and maladjusted temperatures are still way COOLER than most of the last 10,000 years.
You obviously now accept that fact as true.
And you obviously now know that it is totally natural, because you continue to be totally lacking any human causation.
Why are you so determined to remain an ignorant climate change denier, fungal ???
I agree and notice the Southern Hemisphere doesn’t look like summer either.
little bit of summer warmth in Eastern Australia, where I am hit 34C 2 days ago.
But that is not the least bit unusual.
Why is the Antarctic red and central Asia blue?
That should send your alarm bells into overdrive. But it won’t.
At a guess, I would say these are temperature anomalies, not actual temperatures. Pretty obvious when you look at western Australia which is high 20C to mid 30C today yet is presented as blue whilst southern England is red and temperatures here are almost 20C lower today.
Back to the drawing board Rusty.
We’ll come back to this once UAH release they’re December global update, eh?
“they’re”…or……”their”?….that is the question?
Quite right.
You can bet it will still be way COOLER than it has been for nearly all the last 10,000 years.
Or are you a climate change denier?
At least ST*U until then
Everyone is sick of your ignorant caterwauling and chicken-little fetish. !
In all likelihood, it’s not an act. It’s either trolling or crippling cognitive delay.
It actually does state that it is anomalies on the picture. It’s also from the climate reanalyzer garbage pile so it’s a mash-up of model reworking of more models and poor data, mixed up and spat out with all the care of an incontinent farm animal after a big feed. It’s useless crap as per usual from TFN.
I expect he wants us all to put it up on the fridge along side his other crayon scribbles.
… that correctly forecast the warmest month ever recorded by instruments, as corroborated by the UAH update in July.
Big deal. The warmest in a 2.56 million-year ice age named the Quaternary Glaciation isn’t saying very much. It’s like saying the tallest midget.
You do know that there is a strong El Nino, don’t you.
Or do you rely on El Ninos for your PANIC and IGNORANCE ?
Except for the mid 1930s.
Plenty of unadjusted data still around.. (which will remain deliberately ignorant of)
Poor fungal toenail.
.. she is absolutely determined to remain the most ignorant climate change DENIER on the planet.
Incorrect – it registered a warm anomaly that was subsequently corroborated with another anomaly. These anomalies, as have been mentioned elsewhere have sod all to do with actual temperatures and are just a way of fooling the stupid and gullible. Frankly I’m not really surprised you bought into all that hokum so readily.
Gee, some areas are colder than others on the globe, Clearly this disproves global warming. I have ice cubes in my refrigerator- disproving those heinous alarmists!
Some areas are cold, some areas are warm. This article concentrates solely on the cold area and not on the warm areas. This is the warmest Dec 11th recorded by instruments, as shown on the chart (which is the data represented on the map as a global average value). More importantly, it continues the rather obvious long-term warming trend.
Warming is very good in the ice age the Earth is currently in.
Almost ten times as many people die from cold or cool weather every year than die from warm or hot weather.
About 4.6 million die from cold weather compared to 0.5 million that die from warm or hot weather.
‘Global, regional and national burden of mortality associated with nonoptimal ambient temperatures from 2000 to 2019: a three-stage modelling study’

They are RECORD cold and snowy in a world that was supposed to becoming less common in that way as the 2001 IPCC report used to project less snow and more rain/freezing rain.
Instead, there is an increase in snow in the Northern Hemisphere.
Another example of AGW failure on record.
Still way COOLER than most of the last 10,00 years.
Stop wetting your nappies…
….it makes you look like you are a 2 -year-old.. rather than your usual 5-year old!!
Now.. human causation… you have NONE.
And still slithering away from explaining forests growing under glaciers.
“it continues the rather obvious long-term warming trend.”
NATURAL warming out of the COLDEST period in 10,000 years..
THANK GOODNESS.
We know from satellite data that the only warming has come at El Nino events…
…. hence that humans have nothing to do with the warming, except in urban areas, which incidentally, comprise most of the surface data.
We know, from unadjusted data, that the 1930s/40s where a similar temperature
We know from massive amounts of studies that the current temperature is “TEPID” at most compared to the last 10,000 years (rather than the freezing cold of the LIA)
So no…. NOT long term warming.
Just a small bulge at the end of an extended period of cooling from the Holocene Optimum.
You seem to be another mindless AGW zealot.
You do know that there is a strong EL Nino..
Did you also know that there is absolutely no evidence of any human causation in the slight temperature change in the satellite data.
Did you also know that the current temperatures are still COOLER than most of the last 10,000 years…. or are you a climate denier ??
Highly misleading since most of that “anomaly” is a single day of a weather event that is probably below freezing in a lot of the red areas.
You should show the actual temperature profile along with it or you will be considered a typical warmist/alarmist loon.
Still touting that daft concept of a global temperature
And from an agenda-driven “reanalysis” ….. even funnier.. and even more meaningless.
Even the MWP was significantly warmer than now, not to mention the 8000+ years before that.
I remember, back in July, when Climate Reanalyzer was dismissed here for showing the record warmest temperatures ever recorded.
Then UAH published exactly the same data (albeit lower troposphere); as well as being the warmest July, July 2023 was also the absolute warmest month ever recorded by UAH.
So, you should learn from your earlier hubris.
Warming is good.
Almost ten times as many people die from cold weather as from hot weather every year.
About 4.6 million people die from cold weather compared to 0.5 million that die from hot weather every year.
‘Global, regional and national burden of mortality associated with nonoptimal ambient temperatures from 2000 to 2019: a three-stage modelling study’
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(21)00081-4/fulltext
So not exactly the same data
And he’s lying again – they showed an anomaly, which was then corroborated with another anomaly. Absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with temperatures, to which they are only distantly related.
SO WHAT.
A slight, TOTALLY NATURAL warming from a strong El Nino.
(you have admitted it is totally natural by your abject inability, no, actually, your cowardly no-attempts, to show any human causation)
And still no trees growing under glaciers. !!
Well, that was because the temperature update wasn’t out yet. June came in as a month reflecting typical strengthening El Niño conditions, but July surprised everyone. The other data sets were showing this, but UAH wasn’t. Those other datasets report very inflated figures compared to UAH; the rate of warming in the lower troposphere is expected to be faster than that of the land surface air temperature, which may not have been clear to you. Despite several opportunities, you have not demonstrated the utility of these data.
Whatever is stopping you from visiting Roy Spencer’s website and telling him his monthly global temperature updates are ‘daft’?
They used to love them here. Remember the Merry Monck and his popular ‘no warming since…’ nonsense that was, until recently, carried here on publication of Roy’s updates?
That was all based on global temperatures too. Is the Monck daft too? I never remember you telling him that, but I stand to be corrected.
He didn’t wax about it here; you did
And it is absurd
Lord M had dozens of posts published here, over 2 separate periods (so far), talking about a “pause” in global warming based on global average temperatures; whether RSS initially or UAH, most recently. He was carried shoulder high by commenters for pointing it out.
Funny how the concept of a global average temperature wasn’t considered ‘daft’ until the pause vanished, yet again. Then, suddenly, ‘the very concept of a global average temperature’ is called into question again.
The concept of a global average temperature is a moveable feast here at WUWT: when temperatures show a pause over a couple of years they are seized upon unquestioningly; when they show a rising trend, they are dismissed as ‘daft’. It’s called having your cake and eating it.
I for one have always called gat bullshit.
I don’t care who y’are.
And every one of Lord Monckton’s post was absolutely correct
It has taken a major NATURAL EL NINO to break each pause.
There is no warming in the satellite data apart from at those El Nino events.
That means there is no “human warming” signature.
And you have yet to produce one skerrick of evidence for any human causation of those El Ninos. !
Who says the pause won’t come back? This mysteriously abrupt event was obviously predicted by nobody?
Your stupidity is evident here since Satellite data covers most of the ATMOSPHERE where El-Nino phases are easily recorded but ground temperature stations doesn’t employ that degree of coverage thus can’t be a “global temperature” as there are large gaps in surface coverage and doesn’t measure El-Nino phases well.
You have been corrected so many times it would by now fill the moon.
Her REAL STUPIDITY is her continued DENIAL of climate change over the last 10,000 years.
This allows her to get all in a lather and hot flush about a fraction of a degree warming from a totally natural El Nino event.
It really marks her as a completely mindless zealot with only one functional brain cell.
What does it matter that Dr. Spencer likes to do a global temperature, and that “Monck” likes to use the alarmist’s own data to point out the lie of their imminent doomsday predictions? Does “Strativarious” have to agree with everything posted on WUWT? Is there some new ‘terms and conditions’ I don’t know about? I thought WUWT was about freedom to discuss your ideas and criticise others, using actual logic and data as determinates, regardless of what the majority think.
You must have WUWT confused with one of those incontinent alarmist sites that tolerate no discussion or dessention from the party line.
Had sad that you expect that banality to be replicated here – relax and enjoy the diversity!
Mr. Nail: Is there any difference between establishing a proposition and debunking it? You think a fictional “global average temperature” is significant. Debunking that can be done by pointing out the lack of data across the globe (it can be infilled to a predetermined result, and that has been shown), or you can do your own gal, as your mate AlanJ demands, and as Mr. Spencer has done. I don’t think any of it is worth spit, there’s a very big globe out there uncovered by data (from satellites, too). It does serve to debunk your charts, even if it is just as unreliable. But you are the one trying to lie with numbers, not them. They are simply exposing the absurdity of your approach by posting their own GAL. And they aren’t trying to shut down fossil fuels, you are, so you have the burden. They only have to show that your work is wrong, not that their work shows an accurate gal.
Yes, it is a nonsense construct, with zero applicability to the real world we all live in.
I mean, what’s the point of adding the current Temps in all the Dubais and all the Moscows together and dividing them by 2 to reach a number?
If the Dubais are say all 30 and the Moscows are all -50 that would mean the world’s average temp is -10 C.
It’s bullshit.
You do realise there is a strong El Nino, don’t you.
Only warming in the whole satellite record happens at these strong NATURALLY OCCURRING El Ninos.
There is absolutely no evidence of any human caused warming in the whole 45 years of the satellite data.
Nowhere near as strong yet as the one in 2015/16 – yet monthly global average temperature records are falling like bowling pins.
why might that be?
“monthly global average temperature records are falling like bowling pins.”
Because there was a spike in incoming solar radiation.
Obviously it is releasing a lot more energy into the atmosphere.
Or are you DENYING that the warming in the last 6 months or so has come from the El Nino.
You still haven’t shown any evidence of any human causation.
….and you never will. !
The oceans are absorbing increasing solar radiation, with this energy being released during massive El Niños. The influence of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) is also a plausible factor. The data from 2001 to 2015 is particularly noteworthy, revealing a cooling trend despite the concurrent presence of these two influential factors. While I doubt the true scenario is as simplistic as fitting datasets together like a monkey, even with such basic analysis, I struggle to identify the influence of CO2.
“why might that be?”
Every El Nino cycle leaves the UAH temperature trend about 0.2°C higher than the previous level – creating the obvious staircase profile.
Not what one would expect from ever-increasing CO2 emissions.
When you discount the warming effect of the energy released by major El Nino..
…there is basically NO UNDERLYING WARMING TREND.
Looking at UAH data… we see , as Bob Tisdale has shown elsewhere….
1979 – 1987 flat trend value around -0.3C anomaly
1987 medium El Nino adds about 0.1C
1988 – 1997, flat trend around value -0.2C anomaly
1998 strong El Nino adds about 0.2C
2001 – 2015, zero trend at about 0C anomaly
2015/2016 strong El Nino adds about 0.22C
2016 – 2023 (May) slight cooling, average around 0.22C anomaly
There were a couple of other El Nino, eg 2010, 2020 but these don’t seem to have caused a step change…. so have been left out.
If we remove these warming steps from the UAH data we get a graph like the one below (I’ve used the 1988-1997 period as a reference.)
As anyone can plainly see, ..
…there is NO underlying warming trend.
I notice you have yet again agreed with the statement that..
There is absolutely no evidence of any human caused warming in the whole 45 years of the satellite data.
Now you just need to rid of your “oh dear, its slightly warmer” fetish/panic…..
…. and you may just start to be able to be part of rational discussion.
And still not a single “tipping point” has been reached. Not a single one of the oh so many weather/climate disasters predicted has occurred. And COP 28 is being held in a hot, arid desert land. Not a single climate refugee has shown up in Greenland or Antarctica. SLR plods along at the same old pace.
SMB of Greenland samo, samo.

But your concern about the supposed “global temperature” brings up the question of why your still here? Why are you not heading for you safe place? I mean, the oceans are warmer than any time in the modern era and there is an on going El Nino and so conditions are ripe for any of the many disasters that have been predicted. You could at least get out there and march with the other like minded souls:
Ah there we are, the climate clowns in full costume.
The red death
No they just look like they’ve been dead for about 6 months.
rah: Great pic, it looks like they are protesting global reddening.
El Niño
The fungal toenail hasn’t got the brains to understand that strong El Ninos cause atmospheric warming.
Yawn, no one here and the article is disputing a satellite based warming trend as it is reading the El-Nino effects strongly.
The article is about Cold WEATHER events some of it record breaking which is another direct contradiction to the 2002 IPPC projection of less snow and more rain/freezing rain.
Your chronic need to push what everyone already knows is BOOOOORING really boring since it is already displayed on this blogs front page showing it.
Stop pushing warming trend it in thread after thread as everyone knows you are a warmist/alarmist loon who has been allowed to thread jack away from the topic over and over.
Data source: Climate Reanalyiser?
You’ve got to be kidding right?
Now go away and find something that doesn’t estimate temperature.
Not only is the reanalysis highly suspect and tainted with urban warming and agenda crap…
.. but it still uses the 1979-2000 period as a reference.
And 1979 just happened to be the coldest year since the 1930s/40s warm peak (now removed by scam-a-justments)
So yes, there has been some slight warming..
Less people dying of COLD is a good thing.
Longer growing seasons, is a good thing.
More time for usable shipping routes in the Arctic.. is a good thing.
In fact, I can think of zero downside to the slight warming since 1979, except the increased yapping by chicken-little-brained AGW zealots.
…Winter
The only really bad part of this Cold Event is the additional suffering it imposes on the citizens of Ukraine. Since that is Russia’s fault they deserve the coldest hit.
But it was fine when Kiev spent eight years bombing the Donbas with thousands of casualties and not a single, meaningful, western nation voiced any objections.
But God forbid Hamas attacks Israel and kills a few hundred people in one day, then the US rushes in with four carrier battle groups and provides Israel with enough ordnance to flatten Gaza entirely.
And it was just fine when Joe Biden and Boris Johnson ordered Zelensky to tear up a draft peace deal between Russia and Ukraine in March 2022, a month after hostilities began. One might think Joe wanted all evidence of his families dodgy dealings in Ukraine erased or forgotten about in the fog of war.
Also strange none of this happened under the ‘warmonger’ Trump.
Trump left Biden to clean up his Afghanistan war.
Trump also left a sharp recession for Biden to fix.
Now Trump is openly saying he will become a dictator on day one if he is reelected.
He even openly says he trusts Putin more than the US Department of Justice and quotes Hitler and Mussolini, his idols.
Biden gifted the Taliban an Air Force and thousands of modern weapons. The British Government found out about the withdrawal from the press as the Biden Administration couldn’t be bothered to inform its ally beforehand.
Trump as Dictator will probably sell the US to Russia for a few billion.
It just cost the Russians $5 million to buy Joe Biden.
Does anyone actually trust the US Department of ‘Justice’ any more?
Not me.
Can’t possibly be record cold and snow in Europe and Russia.
The BBC has not Verified it so it’s just not happening
we must wait for a peer reviewed paper before we’ll believe it
It’s obvious that the temperatures with blue are outliers and need adjustment!
Those are not real temperatures, but tamperatures!
They need tampering badly!
Even the higher ones need adjustments to become correct, the cold ones definitively need altering, otherwise the science of climate would not be scientific!
The obvious correct, scientific methodology is to mark as outliers every temperature measurement that under the global average, then compute the new average using only the newly, correct, scientific data obtained that way. This way we’ll ensure, comrades, to have the global temperature corrected in such a way that we’ll always get warming even if the new glaciation comes.
This way we can even mathematically prove that there is no way for the global temperature to decrease, showing those pesky deniers that they deny the undeniable! The science is certain!
“They need tampering badly!”
Yes, they do!
Don’t worry, the temperature data mannipulators/tamperers are hard at work.
Here in Colorado everything has been surprisingly average. Some snow ,cold, nothing unusual. I bet that the dumping of heat from the multi-year La Niña will be ignored. Who cares if Siberia or Canada is cold on December….
That bitter cold air in Russia is going to be circling the northern hemisphere and will make an appearance in the United States in the not-too-distant future.
It happens every year.
Meanwhile all but the Scandinavian countries will get a little break with a warmer and stormier before the next wave of Arctic air descends upon them.
Germany and the UK are going to be in trouble this winter. But at least the skiers will be happy!
Cap picked this up too, but the really significant item in today’s post is about Nikolov’s data. https://electroverse.info/russia-is-freezing-too-much-snow-cloud-albedo-not-co2/
Clouds and even snow cover- turns out it is tricky business “ nailing down” the precise “ average albedo. But it is all figured out the warmest tell us, nothing to debate here, we’re all gonna perish, so just starve, and freeze people now with net zero implementation. And get it over with.- yea sure.
The thing to keep an eye on with this level of an Arctic freeze up is
later on a cold mass of this caliber could move over the top of the
globe and come straight down on us in the US. I’ve seen it before. But
so far it’s been a very mild start to winter here in the Northern Rockies
other than the snowy arctic blast in October.
The Strat warming over the Arctic that will bring the Arctic blast in January has already started.
It all comes down to “That is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how”. Votes, temperature, climate anomalies – it’s all about control and power. Watermelon power !
If that does not prove global warming nothing will!
So let’s see, CO2 is an existential threat to mankind and our planet. CO2 causes dangerous warming. The warming is so dangerous because it causes temperatures to rise all around the globe. Once temperatures rise so much, bitter cold sets in. CO2 causes this dangerous cold because of all the warming it is doing to our planet. Our planet is the only one we have so we must eliminate CO2 in the air because of all the warming cold it produces. Is that how the story goes?

Too cold for the batteries: Brand new electric buses paralyzed in Oslo (aussiedlerbote.de)
This story is BS.
I’ve checked with Climate Reanyliser and the temperature across Russia is +20C.
Who are you going to believe a reliable source or this post?
Re Global avg temp: how many Europes would fit in Russia? Plus Asia south of Russia: China, Japan, India, Pakistan… all reporting seasonally cold temperatures.
Here’s the WEF cynically calling this due to ‘climate change’ (not using the term global warming)! Setting new cold records before we really get into winter after a supposed century and a half of “Anthropo Crisis Global Warming” Is a definition of falsification of this Climate Meme. Logically, there is an equally strong probability that the temperature could decline
-2.5°C by 2100 with business as usual scenario.
Good thing the planet is warming and the oceans boiling. Think how cold it could get without climate change.
AOC was right – it must be terrible for the Russians right now, shovelling snow in all that heat!
Cold is not something that shrinks, grows or moves. Cold is a lack of heat. Heat can shrink, grow or move.
The observation that cold describes lack of heat does not change the temperature reality but it can affect the way you think about it.
I don’t know about that. I’ve driven around in a cold automobile until the heater warmed it up.
Children don’t know what it is anymore, but there sure is lots of it and it sure is cold. Siberia is suffering from thermal gravity. It has warmed up so much the heat reached critical mass and is sucking all the warmth into a black hole.
More good news. If I were them I would be investing in some nuclear power stations.
Hmm. About that…
