The Version 6.0 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for September 2018 was +0.14 deg. C, down a little from +0.19 deg. C in August. This was the coolest September in the last 10 years in the global average. — Roy Spencer, 2 October 2018
Global temperatures are now below where they were three years ago, i.e. before a very strong El Nino temporarily drove up global temperatures by 0.6 deg C at their peak in February 2016. Since then, they have dropped by even more (0.7 deg C) and nobody knows whether they may decline any further.
The ongoing downturn illustrates that repeated claims by the UK Met Office and other meteorological organizations that most of the rapid warming in 2015 and early 2016 was primarily due to CO2 emissions rather than a super-strong El Nino were spurious and ill-considered.
Even worse is the recent statement by Elena Manaenkova, the World Meteorological Organisation’s deputy secretary-general. Commenting on the current IPCC meeting in South Korea, she claimed that “the sustained warming trend shows no sign of relenting.”
In reality, the opposite is happening: global temperatures have been falling sharply since 2016 while the 21st-century warming trend is half of what most climate models predicted, slowing rapidly. –Benny Peiser, GWPF Observatory, 3 October 2018
The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) confirm that the average Arctic sea ice extent during September was the fourth highest since 2006, and the greatest since 2014. —Paul Homewood, Not A Lot Of People Know That, 2 October 2018
Hundreds of diplomats from around the world are set to scrutinize the IPCC’s latest Summary for Policy Makers, which contains predictions and benchmarks findings on staving off a climate catastrophe by 2040. —AFP, 30 September 2018
Germany’s Federal Audit Office has accused the government of a catastrophic mismanagement of the green energy transition (Energiewende). The wastage of resources is “unprecedented”. —Daniel Wetzel, Die Welt, 28 September 2018
Beijing will not renew significant cuts on steel production and coal use aimed at improving air quality this winter, as policymakers look to boost China’s economic performance in the midst of the country’s trade war with the US. —Financial Times, 1 October 2018
I want to see the fools especialy those idiots from Greenpeace send a big expidition to the Arctic and have them get stranded in or blocked by all the ice
