I already skipped ahead to your point.
Trend continues.
The January global land and ocean surface temperature was the highest on record at 2.05 degrees F (1.14 degrees C) above the 20th-century average. This surpassed the record set in January 2016 by 0.04 of a degree F (0.02 of a degree C).
The four warmest Januaries documented in the climate record have occurred since 2016; the 10 warmest have all occurred since 2002.
Breaking the month down by hemispheres, the Northern Hemisphere also had its warmest January on record, at 2.70 degrees F (1.50 degrees C) above average. The Southern Hemisphere had a departure of 1.40 degrees F (0.78 of a degree C) above average — its second-warmest January on record after January 2016.
Try answering the question?
How long have we had satellites monitoring global temperatures?
Short term trends in weather are not “climate”.
NOAA doesn’t understand climate stats. Noted.
That’s a short term trend in weather, not climate.
lol… non human induced pattern.
we have very little effect on climate. some effect? sure, mostly from deforestation, but imo, from the science i’ve read, it would barely even be measurable, co2 is not the boogeyman they think it is.
its been a while for me too, but as i recall, the earth’s climate has been relatively stable for about 500 million years. in that 500 million years there have been 3 ice ages lasting about 2-3 million years each. Other than that, there has been little to no ice on the planet, Each of the three has been about the same. long periods of glaciation interspersed at regular intervals by short inter glacial epochs. each of the inter glacials in the current Quaternary ice age separated by about 100k years and lasting between 10-12k years. we are currently in about the 11 thousandth year of the Holocene and about the 2 millionth year of the Quaternary. been a while, and my memory may not be perfect.
Let me throw you a ringer.
What is the most prevalent and important GHG? Water vapor, correct?
How much ground water has been introduced into the system since man started pumping water for irrigation?
Some crops like corn, milo, various sorghum hybrids pull so much water out of the ground and put it back into the air as water you can have a differential of sixty or seventy percent or more between fields and nearby un irrigated semi arid desert.
There’s also the phenomenon of “corn fired thunderstorms” from the same process.
What specific effect does increased humidity have on temperatures? It tends to lower the mean with higher lows and lower highs than are seen when humidity remains low.
There are literally hundreds of millions more acres irrigated acres putting that water vapor back in circulation today than ever existed prior to industrialization and that has to have a significant effect on global mean temps but nobody is looking at it.
See link of the BOM (Australia) State of the Climate Report 2018 below if you are interested in climate trends rather than weather.
When they have enough actual data to draw conclusions from I would but none of us will live that long.
Will I accept the position of BOM over your position on this subject? Unequivocally and unambiguously yes.
Of course you will. Thinking for yourself and questioning what you are being fed would not be comforting.
I would certainly question why I should accept your position over the opinion of those who have the expertise to provide an informed position.

Exactly.
Expand that out further to about 432,000 years and the last 10,000 years of human history have also been the most stable period of climate that we have ever recorded by any means.
The weather is as perfect as it’s gonna get, and these people are bitching about it. lol

And if our climate does not flat-line for the next 100 years, it’s all man’s fault, so we need big socialist central government to regulate every aspect of our lives… oh and all of our wealth and income too.

You know that graph only goes to 1855, right?
Delusional.
In the span of 141 years of climate records, there has never been a warmer January than last month, according to scientists at NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information.
What’s more, the temperature departure from average was the highest monthly departure ever recorded without an El Niño present in the tropical Pacific Ocean.
January 2020 marked the 44th consecutive January and the 421st consecutive month with temperatures, at least nominally, above the 20th-century average
“Delusional”? 144 years is a snapshot of a brief period in time.
Produce the figures from the same locations and dates at 500 year intervals for the last 400,000 years and we can talk about enough data to draw some conclusions from.
We haven’t even had accurate temperatures for most of the globe for more than 40 years.
When was the first satellite launched that monitors global temps?
