Manmade Global Warming - New Extremes, page-9295

so, let us get this right -

in a science forum - you put up a report written by a qualified accountant who has worked in industry

that's the first wow

then - in his report - early on ------------ we get this for 2023

''One BBC report began ‘Heat. Wildfires. Torrential rain. Typhoons and hurricanes. Much of the northern hemisphere has been battered by extreme weather this summer’. There was no evidence presented that any of this was anything other than the sort of normal weather which we get every year.''

take your time - read that bit again - S L O W L Y

There was no evidence presented that any of this was anything other than the sort of normal weather which we get every year.


well - that alone puts your esteemed author in loony land - because this is just a taste of what was 2023



''In 2023, numerous weather and climate records were broken, highlighting the increasing impact of climate change. Here are some of the notable records:
- **Hottest Year on Record**: 2023 was confirmed as the warmest year globally, with temperatures exceeding previous records. The global average temperature was 1.48°C above the pre-industrial level, marking the first time every day in a year was over 1°C warmer than the pre-industrial period[3][4].
- **Hottest Month on Record**: July 2023 was the hottest month ever recorded, with a global average temperature of 16.95°C. This surpassed the previous record set in July 2019[1][2].
- **Record Heatwaves**:
- **Phoenix, USA**: Experienced a 31-day heatwave with temperatures over 43.3°C in July[1].
- **Greece**: Endured a 17-day heatwave with temperatures exceeding 45°C, leading to significant forest fires and evacuations[1].
- **Morocco**: Recorded temperatures exceeding 50°C for the first time, with a peak of 50.4°C in Agadir[1].
- **Ocean Temperatures**: The surface temperature of the world's oceans reached a record high of 20.96°C on August 4, 2023. This was part of a broader trend of unusually high sea surface temperatures throughout the year[1][4].
- **Record Rainfall**: Beijing experienced its highest rainfall since records began in 1883, with 744.8 mm falling on August 7, causing severe flooding and significant damage[1][4].
- **Wildfires in Canada**: Canada faced a record-breaking wildfire season, with 18.5 million hectares burned, surpassing the previous record of 7.6 million hectares in 1989[4].
These events underscore the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather conditions attributed to climate change.
