Wouldn’t this finding be consistent with the fact that the “warming” peaked in 1998? The cooling is already underway.
In Tuesday’s New York Times there was an article saying that the temps in the Northern Hemisphere have plunged, but it’s just a ‘wiggle’ in the trend. Oh, year, wiping out 100 years of ‘warming’ is a ‘wiggle’
To be clear, I mean “since 2003” land temps, not the water ones written about later here.
