    But those 'extremes' increasing never stand up to scrutiny.

    Are we never allowed to have a hot summer ? What about the very many hot summers that are recorded in 350 years of records that pre date the industrial revolution and therefore CO2…

    Heatwaves need to become more clustered. At the moment we get them every so often at roughly the same rate we always did. As mentioned June ( very hot ) was 18th out of 350. There …

    Funny how the freezing snap at the beginning of the year March-April was put down to “weather” and a hot spell is put down to “climate change”. Both most plausibly have the root in…

    It got hotter until 1998 and plateaued until today 2017+, occasionally setting small new highs (0.1C when margin for error is 0.4C). That was already accepted and should not be tru…

    Sorry to hear about anyone losing jobs. The NOAA has been suspected of doctoring the record[1], of all varieties including the satellites once they got control of them[2]. there wi…

    On the surface it is about preventing deletion. But the subtext is that any 'discoveries' or 'corrections' will be rejected out of hand. The prime ones being the recent corrections…
