Global temperature has significant drop in Dec 2020
2021-01-03
[WattsUpWithThat] The Version 6.0 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for December, 2020 was +0.27 deg. C, down substantially from the November, 2020 value of +0.53 deg...

Cooling in December was largest over land, with 1-month drop of 0.60 deg. C, which is the 6th largest drop out of 504 months. This is likely the result of the La Nina now in progress.
Since July 2020, the La Nina conditions have grown stronger and the forecast is for this to persist for the next few months.

#11  I only care if Piers is right about the weather; any thing else is all cacophony.

And cited as a "weather forecaster" as if he is Al Roker or some other pseudo-meteorologist.

"He began recording weather and climate patterns at the age of five, constructing his own observation equipment. He attended Castle House School and Adams' Grammar School in Newport, Shropshire. At 18 he went to Imperial College London, being awarded a first class BSc degree in physics in 1968. [Where's your degree, al-Gore? Greta?] He commenced postgraduate research there into superconductivity, but then went into student representation and politics for some years. In 1979 he returned to postgraduate study at Queen Mary College, University of London, being awarded an MSc in Astrophysics in 1981." [And Bill Gates, where's your MSc sheep skin?]

#10  Wikipedia on Piers Corbyn:

Piers Richard Corbyn (born 10 March 1947) is an English weather forecaster, businessman, activist, anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist.[n 1] He rejects the scientific consensus on climate change, describes vaccines as dangerous and describes COVID-19 as a "hoax". He is the elder brother of former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn.

#9  The solar cycle or solar magnetic activity cycle is a nearly periodic 11-year change in the Sun's activity measured in terms of variations in the number of observed sunspots on the solar surface. Sunspots have been observed since the early 17th century and the sunspot time series is the longest continuously observed (recorded) time series of any natural phenomena.

#7  Funny how the Greta's of the world don't talk about the Little Ice Age when the Thames and the Dutch canals froze. I highly doubt those changes were brought about by cows faerting and combustible engines.

A pity he is Jeremy Corbyn's brother, but Piers is on it here

#5  It's been global cooling for a while now, hence the change from "global warming" to climate change.
