Global Temp Way up in September 2023
2023-10-03
[DrRoySpencer] The Version 6 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for September, 2023 was +0.90 deg. C departure from the 1991-2020 mean. This is above the August 2023 anomaly of +0.70 deg. C, and establishes a new monthly high temperature record since satellite temperature monitoring began in December, 1978.

some speculation that this is partly a response to the Tonga Undersea Volcanic Eruption of 2022 which injected the upper atmosphere with a lot of water vapor
To quote a comment seen at WattsUpWithThat, where Dr. Spencer’s post was reblogged, “The Earth is still in a 2.56 million-year ice age in a cold interglacial period that alternates with very cold glacial periods. Outside of the tropics people still need to wear warm clothes and shoes, live in warmed houses, use warmed transportation, and work in warmed workplaces most of the year.”

#7  I have not seen any consideration (it may exist) of the immense amount of carbon currently sequestered as CaCO3 - limestone. It was all environmental CO2 at some time. It makes me wonder what’s buffering the system in a range that manages to have both photosynthesis and coral reefs, oyster shells etc.

#6  Are we sure this is not proof that Greta and AOC were correct?

I'm pretty sure.

#4  /\ ....epidemics and war to reduce the climate (Heat), have some validity

Evidence on a smaller scale from Roman times does appear to exist.

#3  Well the earth did add about 1.915+ Billion more people, since just 2000, to the world population.

An at 341.21 Btu's per day (100 watts per day) of heat generated per human per day, that's = 653,565,630,261+/- more Btu's (1.9154117858e+11 watts) of heat added to this Earth per day.

Plus we are at, or near a Solar Cycle Maximum and seeing increased Solar ejections, and increases in the usual 173,000 TW of incoming solar radiation.

Kinda makes a person wonder, whether the Tins Hats warnings about the Climate Change Elite & activists are using a Pandemic, location focused epidemics and war to reduce the climate (Heat), have some validity or not?

#2  ..and where at axis tilts is also variable along the orbit pattern. When the Egyptians built the pyramids Polaris was not the North Star.
