XPost: alt.global-warming, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh From: katt@gmail.com Look at this map. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G-pLCT8bQAQBdmw?format=png&name=small -55 °C in Siberia. +45 °C in Australia. At the same time. On the same planet. And I'm supposed to believe that averaging this into a single number called "global temperature" tells me something physically meaningful? That's not climate science... that's statistical abstraction dressed up as reality. There is no such thing as a global temperature in the way people intuitively understand temperature. Temperature is local. It depends on latitude, season, altitude, oceans, clouds, circulation, land cover, and time of day. Averaging wildly different thermodynamic regimes into one number erases the very physics that control climate in the first place. COČ MIGHT factor in the 100s of variables, but not enough to cause a rise in global temps. Ask 1940-1980, when temp went down while COČ remained on a steady rise. SHOW us where COČ was a factor in hotter times: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G-1ncM5WMAA-z-p?format=jpg&name=medium You can calculate a global mean. You can plot it. You can build policy around it. But don't confuse a mathematical construct with a physical state of the planet. No ecosystem experiences the global average. No human lives in the global average. No storm, drought, heatwave, or cold snap is driven by the global average. The obsession with a single number exists for one reason: it's easy to message, easy to scare with, and easy to regulate. ===== January: Historic Snowstorms Sweep Russia North India's Sharpest Cold In Years Israel Shivers As Snow Hits Hermon Turkey Buried U.S. Arctic Cold Reloads + Britain Locks In Higher Power Prices California Drought-Free 'Polar Vortex' To Wallop US 100% Of Russia Under Snow Moscow's Heaviest In 56 Years Blizzards Intensify Along Japan Coast Denmark Shivers + Greenland Warming Follows Wind Patterns, Not Co2 Europe In The Freezer Juneau's Cold Northern Asia's Snow And Ice Saigon Shivers As Rare Cold Grips Southern Vietnam + Hockey Sticks Are Statistical Tricks Scandinavia Breaches -40C Rare Snow Hits Eastern Morocco Guatemala Drops Below Freezing Rare 5C Rains In Delhi As Northern India Shivers + Antarctica Shows No Meaningful Warming Since 1979 Cold Pushes Deep Into India Heavy Snow Inundates Europe Alaska Locked In Deep Winter Early Burial For The Rockies Japan Faces Another Heavy Snow Hit + U.S. Cuts Ties With UN Climate Regime Europe Is Frozen Juneau Snow Emergency Greenland Melt 7,000 Years Ago Anthropogenic CO2 Is A Bit Player + Renewables Aren't Cheap Global Temperatures Down In December Ice And Snow Disruptions Across Europe Sierra Turnaround Arctic Ice Rebounds Another Average Hurricane Year Arctic Air Reclaims Northwest Snowy Europe Cold Outbreaks Not Caused by Global Warming Cold And Snow Intensify In Turkey And Syria Europe Chills Alaska Ends 2025 Under Historic Snow Satellites Show Clouds, Not CO2, Driving Earth's Energy Imbalance Record Snow Buries Lake Louise Great Lakes Under Record Snow Miami Shivers Cold Wave Shuts Tehran Winter In Europe Tightens Its Grip Kurdistan Paralyzed By Cold And Snow Cold Sweeps India Greenland Gains Juneau Breaks December Snow Record As Alaska Freezes South Pole To Set Cold December Europe To Freeze This Weekend Sierra Snowpack Recovery The AMOC Collapse Claim The Volcanic Trigger Behind The 2023 Tropical Temperature Spike Australia Shivers Snow Builds Across Canada Russia Freezes Extreme Cold Grips NE China --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2) |
