“The world could experience a year above 2°C of warming by 2029”
“COULD”
The world COULD experience a year above 200°C of warming by 2029, if the earth suddenly took off for the sun.
By 2035, the environmentalists will finally acknowledge that the U.S., and the industrialized world, really should have gone nuclear in the 1950’s ... and they will discover that a malign conspiracy of big oil companies, other nefarious corporate interests, and dangerous right wing extremists are to blame for the failure to act.
The media will adopt this theory and curate the news to suppress truth tellers.
The kids will be taught this in the schools.
If and when an ecological catastrophe does happen, it will be our side’s fault. Eastasia has always been at war with Eurasia.
Nasa and the ESA can and do measure the earth’s various temperatures to much more precisely than 0.1C it’s all infrared ,microwave or near IR remote sensing with polar orbits the while planet is imaged and measured multiple times per day each orbit is about 90 minutes pole to pole. Actually sun synchronous orbits but those are so close to polar it’s semantics.
The real scientific question is not whether the planet is warming up, it is the data confirms this. The question is then cause. In the past and with strong probability now it’s driven by natural solar cycles in our orbital period,precession,and axis tilt relative to the giant thermonuclear fireball in the center of the solar system. Even if humans are the cause is it prudent to crash the world’s standard of living and implement carbon / energy rationing via communism or is the best course to use the technology we have to adapt to a changing planet. Our ancestors without modern technology adapted to ice ages and hotter interglacial periods. Our ancestors successfully adapted to well over 400 feet of sea level change. To say our species cannot adapt via migration and now technology to less than a 3 feet of sea level change in a CENTURY is just fallacy.
These are just some of the ways NASA measures the temp of earth.
[AIRS (Atmospheric Infrared Sounder): On the Aqua satellite, AIRS provides 3D measurements of temperature and water vapor through the atmospheric column, along with other atmospheric properties.
TIRS (Thermal Infrared Sensor): On Landsat-8, TIRS measures land surface temperature using thermal infrared wavelengths.
MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer): On Terra and Aqua, MODIS collects data on land surface temperature, sea surface temperature, and other surface parameters.
VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite): On NOAA-20, VIIRS provides data for sea surface temperature.
PREFIRE (Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment): A pair of CubeSats measuring heat emissions from Earth’s poles.
MSU (Microwave Sounding Unit) and AMSU (Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit): Collect atmospheric temperature data. ]

Thanks for the reply. Here’s what bothers me. We never see the related estimates of uncertainty (the +/- values). A comparatively large estimate of uncertainty would make the measurement itself worthless.
“course they use the commie Metric System.”
The whole planet uses the SI system. Every scientist including ones in the USA use International System of Units aka SI. If you publish anything anywhere in any scientific discipline it will be in SI. Imperial units is only used by the plebs in the USA. Engineers,scientists and academia all use SI. Even the oil industry uses SI as all the software much of it French and Saudi in origin is written to use it then after the calculations are done it’s converted to imperial so the mouth breathers in the field can use it. Drilling is done in feet but all the geological, seismic, and engineering is done in SI.
The whole planet is wrong.
If you dig into the journals there is always a 95 percentile value with a range. What is published to the masses is not the same as what is actually in the research.
There is little doubt that the earth’s albedo has changed the IR data is pretty clear. The question is does CO2 follow or lead that change. In the past it followed and the solar output and cosmic ray intensity controlled overall energy balance and albedo. Cosmic rays cause the nucleus for cloud formation in the upper atmosphere it is a direct driver of the infrared balance of the planet. The Sun’s activity and solar wind velocity and volume push the helopause in and out this has a direct and powerful effect on how much and at what energy level cosmic rays make it to the inner solar system and thus earth. The 016/18 ratio also is a direct measure of how much cosmic rays are getting to the parts of the atmosphere where rain falls once it gets to the ocean it gets turned into corals,and microfossils which then get turned into rock. Geochemistry can then be used along with radioisotopess to date those sediments.
But the idea that ANY human activity can control or influence ANY of those zigs and zags is pure folly, and has never been proven in any way by any ACTUAL science... only by computer modeling and vast amounts of speculative presumptions.
Ha I think the mouth breathers that number less than 340 million don’t get a say in it. Wanna play in the scientific community, well suck it up butter cup you got out voted. Stamp feet all you want it won’t change the fact that if you have to do engineering or science and have that publish and peer reviewed you must do so in SI. It’s how the academics and scientists separate the sheep from the goats if you can’t think natively in SI then you simply are not an accredited scientist. I assure you no one in Mensa would dare to publish or use imperial.
where are you from
