now that's interesting. Jim Hansen says global temperature rise is starting to accelerate. Yikes

writing in yaleclimateconnections.com coverage of NOAA's global climate report for September issued a week ago, meteorologist Dr Jeff Masters said global temperature records are more likely to be set during the peak of the solar cycle.

Interesting partly because climate change deniers have always said 'its the sun guys' that's causing global warming. That is of course when they are not dicking around pretending there is no global warming.

Masters also wrote that global temperature records are also more likely to be set during strong El Niño events, when the extra heat from the tropical Pacific Ocean is given up to the atmosphere.

"Remarkably, the record warmth of September 2020 came during the minimum of one of the weakest 11-year solar cycles in the past century, and during a La Niña event, when cooling of the tropical Pacific Ocean helps cool global temperatures," Masters wrote in a piece published friday.

"That record warmth of September 2020, and for the year as a whole, underscores the dominant role of human-caused global warming in heating the planet.

"In an October 14 press release, climate scientist James Hansen argued that global warming has accelerated over the past five years.

"As evidence, he pointed out that the global temperature increase, which had been stable at 0.18 degrees Celsius per decade, has increased substantially. He attributed the acceleration to changes in levels of sunlight-blocking aerosol particles in the atmosphere."

Are you now supporting Jim Hansen's view about significant causes other than CO2 emissions as factors in global temperature anomalies ??
