Climate change is measured over a 30 year period.
In 1982 the World Meteorological Organization updated climate normals based climate data from January 1, 1961 to December 31, 1990.
We are still completing the first 30 year climate change assessment.......EVER DONE.
Any temperature analysis less than 30 years long, like this 15 year study, is not about climate changes.
It is about weather changes.
BTW, what are we doing listening to these weather morons trying to judge global warming based on such skimpy data?
Other than tree rings and ice CO2 (tests that only happen in isolated locations) they wouldn’t know climate change if it rode by them on a bicycle.
Considering most of the world is remote, uninhabited, or ocean, I’ve never understood why anyone believes we accurate global climate data that pre-dates the satellite era.
“We are still completing the first 30 year climate change assessment.......EVER DONE.”
That’s actually not true.
The DMSP satellite program has been measuring Earths temp since the 1960’s. No discernible change.
Speaking of skimpy data, these weather morons (appropriate name) are like ants on a small surface, not taking into consideration factors larger than themselves - like the Sun. They never factor in things like solar flares, which have happened with greatly increased frequency in the last month. Or sunspots, which have been absent for about the same amount of years that deadly hurricanes have been absent. Stupid fools can't imagine that something massive like our solar Sun has more impact on our Earthly weather than mere mortal man.
Thirty years isn’t climate either.
It’s not long enough.
