There is no such thing as global mean surface temperature. Dr. Michael Crichton pointed that out in his book State of Fear years ago. Just more of the climate BS.

10 real data points and 14 billion conjecture. What a joke.

That was a great book. I have to say, I was completely amused and impressed by the concept of bad guys who give Chase to their enemies, not in black Lincolns, or Cadillacs, but in Toyota Prius‘s!

He was a great author. Died too soon…

It was interesting to read about the making of the movie “Andromeda strain“ where the movie, pretty much reflected the state of art of pathogen discovery at the time (1971) and Crichton was so adamant about realism, that he had to fight with the backers of the movie because he swelled the budget of the movie by buying actual state of the art biological research equipment .

Wikipedia said: “A 2003 publication by the Infectious Diseases Society of America noted that The Andromeda Strain is the “most significant, scientifically accurate, and prototypic of all films of this [killer virus] genre ... it accurately details the appearance of a deadly agent, its impact, and the efforts at containing it, and, finally, the work-up on its identification and clarification on why certain persons are immune to it.”

Michael Crichton, author and filmmaker known for Jurassic Park and the television show E.R., says:

“Is the globe warming? Yes. Is the greenhouse effect real? Yes. Is carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, being increased by men? Yes. Would we expect this warming to have an effect? Yes. Do human beings in general affect the climate? Yes.”
