This is an odd gimmick to this ‘collection ‘ of data.
Let’s say you have 1,000 sites which collect termperatures, and the average come out to say that the overall year was warmer than the past ten.
Then you ask about the 1,000 sites individually. What you would find is maybe three hundred of the sites were significantly up, and the remainder were mostly all normal. What’s the story?
So, you dig into this and find that three warm front over that summer got stalled and simply stood still over these individual sites for ten days rather than the normal five days. You find three of these events over the whole summer. Does it really mean that the Earth is warming? No, stalled heat fronts over the summer simply made hotter than normal periods.
The same would occur with these arctic fronts....like we saw last year for two to three weeks over the center part of the US. By stalling, they pumped up the statistics. Is a stall or slow movement part of climate change, global warming, or global chilling? It’s physically impossible to connect a stalled system to any gimmick science.
That’s why pauses or stalls....really aren’t much of a real gauge on such things.
18 years is almost as long as the “original” 1976 - 1998 “global warming” trend that “was” the evidence.
Global average temperature is 0.25 higher than the 1970-1990’s baseline.
