Anybody else here notice that all the graphs show warming-just curious????
Yes Jerry, we all know that it has been warming for ~250 years since the depths

However, anthropogenic CO2 emissions have only been potentially consequential since ~1950;
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/03/29/when-did-anthropogenic-global-warming-begin/
and Phil Jones noted during a 2010 BBC interview, “As for the two periods 1910-40 and 1975-1998 the warming rates are not statistically significantly different.” As such, the warming from 1910 – 1940, before Anthropogenic CO2 became potentially consequential, is “not statistically significantly different” from the warming during the period from 1975 – 1998. If CO2 is a potent greenhouse gas at current atmospheric concentrations, we should see significant acceleration in the warming that was already occurring naturally due to the rebound from the Little Ice Age.
Warming is evidence of Earth’s temperature changing naturally, the lack of acceleration of this warming is evidence that CO2 is not a potent greenhouse gas at current atmospheric concentrations.
If you have any other questions, please do let us know…
“The main drivers of the Little Ice Age cooling were decreased solar activity and increased volcanic activity. These factors cannot account for the global warming observed over the past 50-100 years. Furthermore, it is physically incorrect to state that the planet is simply “recovering” from the Little Ice Age.”
Couldn’t have said it better myself.

You’ve produced a nice cherry picking of temperature proxies and timescaling.

“The main drivers of the Little Ice Age cooling were decreased solar activity and increased volcanic activity”
We do not know what caused the Little Ice Age. Solar activity,volcanic activity are both possible factors, but the data is very limited for this time period.
“These factors cannot account for the global warming observed over the past 50-100 years.”
Of course “decreased solar activity and increased volcanic activity” “cannot account for the global warming observed over the past 50-100 years.” However, increased solar activity and decreased volcanic activity certainly could be possible factors in the “global warming observed over the past 50-100 years”.
“Furthermore, it is physically incorrect to state that the planet is simply “recovering” from the Little Ice Age.”
I did not say recovering, I said rebounding.
“Couldn’t have said it better myself.”
A sad statement fact given Skepticalscience.com’s inaccuracy.
“You’ve produced a nice cherry picking of temperature proxies and timescaling.”
I provided the most reliable proxies for the time period, whereas you’ve produced an erroneous chart that splices disparate and incomparable data sets.
As I noted above, during the periods “1910-40 and 1975-1998 the warming rates are not statistically significantly different.” even though Anthorpogenc CO2 emissions were not potentially consequential until after ~1950. What do you think caused the warming between 1910-40?
But from 1910 to 1940 the Sun was warming, and the CO2 was not much changed.
from 1975 to 1998 the Sun was not much changed, and the CO2 was increasing.
Wandering magnetic poles control the weather. Do you believe that? Pull up this link on a desktop monitor, study the graphics, and initiate a discussion.

The UHA temperature graphs have not updated here since September. They show a decisive downturn in temperature now 12/30.
With the increase in competition and product supply within these
industries, as well as tax incentives and possible government subsidies of those clean energy resources, cleaner smarter energy have been around in reach of numerous quickly another several years.
We are currently investigating some areas for average investors and funding your company
too take advantage of some BIG lucrative opportunities later on because they areas grow and develop on the coming years.
– Next you need to get in touch the blades to a shaft which,
subsequently, connects to the motor.
I have just found some time to read through all the threads. I love both the way so mch factual data is presented as well as the clear scientific rebuffals to the odd alarmist popping up. Keep up the good work
The UAH global temperature chart on this page was being updated monthly through February 2019. Since then it has not been updated – as temperatures have moved upward. “Watts up with that”?
[Nothing sinister. From that page: “all of the data is linked from third party sources and WUWT is simply an aggregator.” We will look into why its not linking. Mod]
Mods: no luck with the updates yet? It’s over a year since the above comment was made and the UAH chart still stops in Feb 2018. The RSS TLT chart appears to stop in early 2017 and is still showing the discontinued v3 data. RSS TLT v4 has been in use since July 2017 – almost 3 years now. Have these updates been abandoned by WUWT? Thanks.
The RSS TLT chart (3rd chart from the top) shows the old version 3 data, trend 0.134 K/dec. Updates stopped being added to version 3 some time ago (although the horizontal axis on the chart above suggests otherwise, for some reason). RSS TLT version 4, trend 0.204 K/dec, is the producer’s latest and fully updated operational data set:

The very globality of the “global” temperature hasn’t been addressed enough, and that should come before everything else, before the trends, before the models and before predictions. How do we know the global sampling was adequate for the entire industrial period when even as of 2013 it wasn’t adequate for one of the main datasets, the HadCRUT4: https://rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/qj.2297? HadCRUT4 covers 84% of the globe, with the worst coverage in Africa and on the poles. I seriously doubt the globality of pre-war measurements, and even after the war they are suspicious. How do they account for the missing data?
We are taking the mean temperature values for granted in these graphs, on both sides of the debate, but we really shouldn’t.
Also, if we do, HadCRUT4 shows a big pause in the temperature rise between 1940 and 1980. Are we supposed to believe that everybody went green in the most intensive period of the post-war rebuild?
I am wondering where geographically the apparent warming in the past 20 years is occurring. I have seen some maps that show almost all of the delta above 20th century average temps, isolated to regions within and near the former USSR. Do you have some reliable maps showing, say, each decade’s temperature delta spatial distribution across the planet? Would be interesting to see if the same temperature reporting stations keep reporting anomalies each decade, or if the deviations are more well-distributed worldwide.
On the UAH satellite map if a straight line is drawn from the temperature for 1979 and extended through the temperature for 2004 and another line is drawn horizontally from the temperature for 2004 forward in time the presence of changeover from continuous warming to pause in warming is obvious. Since 2004 most of the temperature readings for the succeeding years fall below the horizontal line. This is more obvious when the temperatures for the major El Ninos of 1998 and 2016 are deleted.
The linear warming trend in UAH from Jan 2005 to May 2020 is +0.25 C/dec. That’s considerably faster than the warming trend in UAH from Dec 1978 to Dec 2004 (+0.15 C/dec).
https://woodfortrees.org/graph/uah6/to:2005/plot/uah6/to:2005/trend/plot/uah6/from:2005/plot/uah6/from:2005/trend
If we edit out the warming signal caused by El Nino but retain the cooling signal caused by La Nina then should we be surprised that overall the warming trend reduces?
That’s a bit weird looking at it that way. The data looks like there was a plateau at about -0.2C (anomaly) from 1980 to 1998’s El Nino which left temperatures at 0.0C from 2000 to 2015, another El Nino and then a new level at 0.2C.
A plot of a non-anomaly GAST would be nice — showing the nearly straight and level plain of 14.7 C air temperatures since 1880 or so.
There is only one certainty , the Sun rules the climate by virtue of it’s many cycles. From thousands of years to 50/60 year cycles. Everything else is political money making nonsense.
I have to say, this is a fantastic website. I wish I had discovered it sooner.
