Any proper scientific measurement - or proper scientific calculation - must include a degree of uncertainly, a plus or minus figure.
My best guess is that those folks did not make any proper scientific measurements in the first place. And on the off chance they did, I’ll bet the degree of uncertainly was more than 1.5 degrees Celsius.
2049, no doubt...far enough out that they'll be gone and their dire predictions/lies will be forgotten. But now they'll get more grant money to "study" the "problem".
Does all of this concern that weather station collector on 22nd Street and Alvernon Way in Tucson? This is the little trailer that’s on a concrete pad about 10 feet from a 6-lane street intersection (all hot asphalt), with an AC unit on the side of it throwing hot air toward the thermostat, and reflecting all that heat off the trailer metal.
I used to jog by it and stop to admire the heat absorption. If that thermostat read 125 degrees....it was probably around 110 degrees in the real world.
key marker of 1.5 degrees Celsius
How did that become the Key Marker?
