Kurt was incorrect, many groups have come and gone due to an inability to see the short-term future, or misread the signs of change

"?" I'm in Southern California, record cold and snow, This May also brought snow and cold. I'm wondering about these metrics and where scientists are taking theses measurements to get a single global temp. No question heat energy in the oceans is a big deal. Are we focusing on the right data?

@nemo4evr Yes, I made that clear in my comment. Here in SoCal our "weather" is greatly effected by the ENSO reported El Nino/El Nina cycle, so is the Pacific Ocean. "Upward Trend", perhaps the superposition of large planets' (mostly Jupiter) will result in the modulation of seasonal temperature fluctuations of ±2.5 °C. Perhaps the effect of C02 will save us from a new Ice Age? The models are currently not good enough to make long term predictions, only scare some into submission.

@old-pete I have a book, purchased in the 1970s, "The Cooling" by Lowell Ponte, spoke to Lowell by email in 2002. "The cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people in poor nations... If it continues, and no strong measures are taken to deal with it, the cooling will cause world famine, world chaos, and probably world war, and this could all come by the year 2000". Lowell Ponte, The Cooling, 1976 Chapter 1: "Our planets climate has been cooling for the past three decades. Most experts agree on this, for it has been carefully measured by scattered monitoring stations throughout the world. Climate in the southern half of our planet has been warming rapidly, according to the few measurements available. But in the half of our world north of the equator, where most human beings live, the annual mean atmospheric temperature has plunged by 0.7 oC, more than enough to offset the southern warming and to lower the average temperature of the whole planet by 0.5 oC." - The Cooling The number of monitoring stations has increased since the 1970s, but there's controversy as to their change in position on the ground and where they are located. The models are just that, models and the variables inherent in the models make long term predictions unreliable. Should we spend trillions on a prediction so unreliable?

@WaveOfDestiny Yes, Spain is also getting record high temps, but other areas are not, they are getting lower temps. I live about 100 miles from the hottest place on earth, Death Valley, CA, and about 50 miles for Palm Springs, a desert community with summer temps at 110F/43.3C, something I enjoy.

@WaveOfDestiny According to a 2021 study published in The Lancet Planetary Health, cold is far more deadly. For every death linked to heat, nine are connected to cold. Excessive cold can exacerbate pre-existing medical conditions such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. For example, death rates from myocardial infarction increase as temperatures drop.

Nietzsche said G+D was dead, killed by the scientists, now the scientists have turned into Priest with claims of Armageddon and selling indulgences to the weak and fearful. Nietzsche predicted that, too.
