Global Cooling Is Under Way

Spring Heat Makes Water Activities Tempting, But Cold Water Can Be Very Dangerous | The Weather Channel

Exposure to cold water can result in hypothermia, cold shock and death.


How long can a person survive in cold water?

Minnesota's inland lakes and streams are generally colder than 70° F in winter and spring. Water this cold always presents the danger of hypothermia. Surface water temperatures in western Lake Superior rarely exceed 70° F. Lake Superior's average surface temperature is about 40° F (4° C).

Survival depends to some extent on...
Individual Differences: swimming ability, body size and build, cold tolerance, shivering response, body fat, alcohol levels
Behavioral Response: psychological makeup, will to live, activity, posture
Technological Factors: clothing, flotation aides

Did scientists tell you that?

They’re pretty smart, aren’t they?
 
You should probably listen to them more.

The NAS is the top 1% of those upper 10%. Know what they say about AGW?

All this global cooling is heating up the ocean ;)

Water temperatures also broke records in 2019. A study published in the journal Advances in Atmospheric Sciences says the ocean temperature last year was 0.075 degrees Celsius above the 1981-2010 average. The study's authors said the heat absorbed today by the world's oceans is now equivalent to dropping roughly five Hiroshima bombs into them every second over the past 25 years.

[h=2]UAH Global Temperature Update for January 2020: +0.56 deg. C[/h]February 5th, 2020The Version 6.0 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for January, 2020 was +0.56 deg. C, unchanged from the December 2019 value of +0.56 deg. C.
The linear warming trend since January, 1979 remains at +0.13 C/decade (+0.11 C/decade over the global-averaged oceans, and +0.18 C/decade over global-averaged land).

[h=2]Northern Europe January Cooling 30 Years![/h]By P Gosselin on 12. February 2020
By Kirye
and Pierre Gosselin
Northern Europe and the Arctic show signs of winter cooling over the past decades. Could the global warming theory be in for an upset?
Looking at January data over the northern Europe, we see no real warming trend for the month, according to data from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).
When plotting mean January temperatures for Norway for stations where data are available since 1988, we see that 7 of 11 stations show a cooling trend since 1988, despite rising CO2:

Data: JMA.
January cooling in Finland
The story is the same in Finland, a country that stretches into the Arctic:

All stations with data going back to 1988 show a cooling trend in Finland for the month of January. Data: JMA
Ireland cooling more than warming

In Ireland, situated in the North Atlantic, we also see signs of cooling mid winters. warming has been AWOL for some time now:


In Ireland 4 of 6 stations with data going back to 1988 show a cooling trend for the month of January. Data: JMA

If you look at every third Tuesday in County Galway and three provinces in Sweden, and then alternating Thursdays in the rest of Ireland, excluding the years 2005-10, except for 2008, its clearly cooling.

Keep denying.
 
This will not be solved by hysterical Deniers.

The scientists will work it out.

At the moment:

"For the year-to-date, the Earth is seeing its 5th-warmest start to the year. "
Global warming: April was 400th straight warmer-than-average month

A few guys are looking into the potential influence of aerosols.
GEOENGINEERING: We're cooling Earth by accident. Now we might try on purpose -- Tuesday, March 20, 2018 -- www.eenews.net

According to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, "We conclude there has been no reduction in the global warming trend of 0.15 (to) 0.20ºC (per) decade that began in the late 1970s."

Michael Mann, director of the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University, called the analysis solid.

"Essentially he's just pointing out that we've come out of this short-term, relatively cool period," Mann said. "The globe clearly continues to warm."

Mann said many claims of global cooling are spurious and "intellectually dishonest."

I really cannot believe that accusation of dishonesty. Just because they've spewed dishonest crap a thousand times before, why would we expect more?????

Plausible scenarios for climate change: 2020-2050

Posted on February 13, 2020 by curryja | 75 comments
by Judith Curry
A range of scenarios for global mean surface temperature change between 2020 and 2050, derived using a semi-empirical approach. All three modes of natural climate variability – volcanoes, solar and internal variability – are expected to act in the direction of cooling during this period.
Continue reading

Conclusions
Three main conclusions:

  • We are starting to narrow the uncertainty in the amount of warming from emissions that we can expect out to 2050
  • All three modes of natural variability – solar, volcanoes, internal variability – are expected to trend cool over the next 3 decades
  • Depending on the relative magnitudes of emissions driven warming versus natural variability, decades with no warming or even cooling are more or less plausible.

 
In case it wasn't mentioned: Antarctica set a high temperature record of 64.9 F / 20.75 C last week:
Antarctica Sets Record High Temperature: 64.9 Degrees - The New York Times

Antarctica registers record temperature of over 20 C

And unsurprisingly, January 2020 was the warmest on record:
January 2020 was the hottest in modern recorded history, NOAA says - ABC News


Even Breitbart (!!!) had the "warmest January on record" story:
January 2020 warmest on record: EU climate service - Breitbart

It is so weird how "global cooling" is typified by an increase in global temperatures.

Remind us what the latitude it is there, and the surrounding terrain please.

I had to look it up, I had no idea that Esperanza Base was that far North.

And they think it's a big deal to get a bit warmer than the rest of Antarctica, and it's also surrounded by ocean.

Like I said.

To add, in January, not only does the earth get about 7% more TSI than in July, but that's what? 20 or more hours of sunshine a day for them there?
