i had (momentarily) wondered where you two live and you’ve seemed to confirm earlier in this thread that it isn’t Earth, rather it’s the troposphere.
since you hadn’t noticed i’ll explain something you’ve plainly missed.
people care about manmade global warming on Earth’s surface because that’s where we live - not in the troposphere. Imagine that, people caring about the climate where they live.
you won’t find the following information about Earth’s rising trend surface temperature from the WMO and NOAA at all interesting because you won’t read it and you know better anyway.
its the latest from respected scientific agencies who are just gojng about doing their meteorological science on our behalf.
without an axe to grind and without being told what to think by vested interests representing the fossil fuel industry.
WMO:
”Geneva, 19 January 2022 (WMO) – Although average global temperatures were temporarily cooled by the 2020-2022 La Niña events, 2021 was still one of the seven warmest years on record, according to six leading international datasets consolidated by the World Meteorological Organization.
“Global warming and other long-term climate change trends are expected to continue as a result of record levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
“The average global temperature in 2021 was about 1.11 (± 0.13) °C above the pre-industrial (1850-1900) levels. 2021 is the 7th consecutive year (2015-2021) where global temperature has been over 1°C above pre-industrial levels, according to all datasets compiled by WMO.
”WMO uses six international datasets to ensure the most comprehensive, authoritative temperature assessment. The same data are used in its annual State of the Climate reports which inform the international community on global climate indicators.
”The rankings of individual years should be considered in the long-term context, especially since the differences between individual years are sometimes marginal. Since the 1980s, each decade has been warmer than the previous one. This is expected to continue.
”The warmest seven years have all been since 2015, with 2016, 2019 and 2020 constituting the top three. An exceptionally strong El Niño event occurred in 2016, which contributed to record global average warming.
””Back-to-back La Niña events mean that 2021 warming was relatively less pronounced compared to recent years. Even so, 2021 was still warmer than previous years influenced by La Niña.
“The overall long-term warming as a result of greenhouse gas increases is now far larger than the year-to-year variability in global average temperatures caused by naturally occurring climate drivers, said WMO Secretary-General, Prof. Petteri Taalas.” NOAA:
”The January–April global surface temperature was 0.87°C (1.57°F) above the 20th-century average and ranked as the fifth-highest in the 143-year record. The 10 warmest January–Aprils have occurred since 2007, with the last eight years (2015–2022) being the eight warmest on record. “
