According to the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, earth has warmed 1.21C since the 1970s.

Satellites show very little warming during that period.
UAH Global Temperature Update for January, 2022: +0.03 deg. C. « Roy Spencer, PhD
Earth is a terrifying 0.1C above the 1979-2000 average.
Sea ice extent at both poles is just below average since the 1970s.
Trying to measure the temperature of the globe is like trying to pinpoint the location of an electron; something only a dimocrat would think is possible.
++++I’ve long believed that the (even it if were possible and urban heat effect was not a thing) homogenization of the temperature of the globe as a single number is utterly meaningless.++++
ps. Suggest we establish a “Super Bowl” of Climate Science Fabrication. Call it the Maurice Strong Trophy. This year I nominate the team from Boulder, Colorado.
Amen, Brother. I live in Boulder and it’s pure religion here.
The satellite measure is the one that is credible and not tampered with. But of course the Bullsh|t Artists are now trying to discredit the satellite measure, saying we should rely on their manipulated to death surface data that is subject to the urban heat effect. Insanity.
Spencer changed the reference period to 1991 to 2020 so it is no longer 1979 to 2000
Malarkey. No he didn’t.
REMINDER: We have changed the 30-year averaging period from which we compute anomalies to 1991-2020, from the old period 1981-2010. This change does not affect the temperature trends.
