Well I'd rather not have a world that eclipses the 1.5C made up threshold because most of the past year's weather has been incredibly boring. The Climate Crisis is boring. Being back the now erased mid 20thC cooling so we can have exciting weather again 😉

Also, if we've just had a year above 1.5C, we seemed to survive it just fine, so it shows there is no need for catastrophic thinking.

Either way, the fact that there models did not and can not predict this higher than expected temperature, still shows the models are useless and cannot be used for policy making.

Exactly! Isn’t it odd that despite these supposedly “dangerously high” global temperatures, we are hearing more and more reports of freezing winter temperatures all round the world, e.g. North America, China, Japan and Russia.

And still no explanation how they know the average temperature of the whole Earth from pole to pole to two places of decimals 150 years ago...

You can’t escape it. The news pop up on my laptop has been telling me all day that 11C is a near record for the time of year in my neck of the woods.

In Yorkshire mine says 0 deg C and it's snowing vigorously...

The golden rule of interpreting what the government is telling us:

Whenever governments around the world are pushing a narrative that will:

1) Give them more control over the people, and

2) Give them as excuse to raise taxes and/or steal land from the people,

they are LYING!

It really is sickening how all the climate propagandists plug their fraudulent man-made global warming narrative, all of them lying massively and blatantly by suppressing any mention of the Hunga Tonga undersea volcanic eruption elephant in the room. They have lied by omission so all-pervasively that most members of the public think you are a weirdo crank if you mention “Hunga Tonga”, which they have never heard of.

The latest UAH tropospheric global temperature graph shows how preposterous it is to blame the current spike in global temperatures on man-made CO2. It massively eclipses the 1998, 2010, 2016 and 2020 natural El Nino spikes which all fell away rapidly, as the natural Hunga Tonga spike will in due course do as well, maybe into the AMO global cooling phase: https://www.drroyspencer.com/wp-content/uploads/UAH_LT_1979_thru_January_2024_v6_20x9.jpg.

Hunga Tonga will only be acknowledged by the CAGW shills when its effect wears off and temperatures start falling back to the long term trend. Until then it's useful and willful blindness will reign.

They needed an excuse to trot out the fecking hockey stick.
