RSS world temperatures

 Yeah, everybody is back in action!  It was just the summer covid thing.  Charts can be ignored by the Popular People (or Kool Kids).

The globals are down.  The northern mid-latitudes are seasonally up, but that's meaningless.

The tropics are way down, and that's the source of our heat in the winter.  Without any tropical heat, our normal night temperatures in the winter are 40 below.  Toronto will always get some warmth from the Gulf, but that means endless snow when the Arctic air glaciers come down.  A legitimate response would be to increase the snow removal budget.

And, of course, the south pole is as steady as a rock.  No 'doom' for us

The natural consequence of all of this is that we have no heat energy for the winter.  The new 'consequence' of carbon is 'extreme weather', even though nothing supports this.  Their weird physics of 'greenhouse gases' was only going to give us more heat energy.  The story must change as the new data comes in.  

US August temperatures well in the pack -- NOAA

 

The continental temperature depends on the season.  That's why they plot it as August-only temperatures.  It is meaningless for the world temperatures, but they tout that, if the results are good.

When the oceans shut down, then July and August temperatures tend to zoom up.  That's because we all become 'Death Valley'.  The sun is overhead, and there's no wind.  A classic solar furnace.  At night, most of the heat leaves by radiation and convection.

Next week, we'll have their world temperatures.  

ps.  today's number is 8.  -- The average temperature for August across the contiguous U.S. was 74.6 degrees F, 2.5 degrees above average, and ranked as the eighth-warmest August on record.

That's straight from nooa

Arctic ice is strong

 

Well, after being ridiculously late, we have the Arctic ice volume.  Read into the chart what you may, but it looks strong and increasing.  Of course, we can argue about this forever, and no Popular Person needs to feel threatened.  Without the background physics, the charts are just fodder for debates.
