Strange that these people don’t provide any evidence at all to support their assertion.
They said Earth is heading into a cooling period, but the evidence from reputable science agencies says the opposite.
It’s a wonder some one who was described as a climatologist didn’t offer the latest golf score by the oldest player on Earth as evidence. Okay, that would be stupid. Okay, how about actual temperatures. That might be useful.
Here’s what NASA says on its Internet site about Earth’s average land and sea surface temperature in 2017, that’s just last year for those c limate change-deniers living in a parallel universe.
“Earth’s global surface temperatures in 2017 ranked as the second warmest since 1880, according to an analysis by NASA.”
“Continuing the planet's long-term warming trend, globally averaged temperatures in 2017 were 1.62 degrees Fahrenheit (0.90 degrees Celsius) warmer than the 1951 to 1980 mean, according to scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York. That is second only to global temperatures in 2016.”
“In a separate, independent analysis, scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) concluded that 2017 was the third-warmest year in their record. The minor difference in rankings is due to the different methods used by the two agencies to analyze global temperatures, although over the long-term the agencies’ records remain in strong agreement. Both analyses show that the five warmest years on record all have taken place since 2010.”
“Because weather station locations and measurement practices change over time, there are uncertainties in the interpretation of specific year-to-year global mean temperature differences. Taking this into account, NASA estimates that 2017’s global mean change is accurate to within 0.1 degree Fahrenheit, with a 95 percent certainty level.”
““Despite colder than average temperatures in any one part of the world, temperatures over the planet as a whole continue the rapid warming trend we’ve seen over the last 40 years,” said GISS Director Gavin Schmidt.”
Menta, why do you post rubbish? It is easy enough to check facts.
Oh I see, you don’t want facts to get in the way of your confection.
