UK Brexits Global Warming, Has Been Cooling Off Since Long Before Greta Was Born. By P Gosselin on 27. March 2021 By Kirye and Pierre Winters across the United Kingdom of Britain appear to have worsened over the past two decades, contradicting earlier warnings they would warm and snow would become rare. Due to its geographic location in the the northeast Atlantic, temperature trends in Great Britain have significance. They provide information about how the Atlantic acts on Europe’s climate, like a barometer. February 2021 temperature data for the UK are available from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), which means we can plot the latest DJF winter mean temperature data point.
UK February hasn’t warmed since 1992 First we begin by plotting the latest February mean temperatures for the stations with sufficient JMA data: Data: JMA. Most stations have seen February trending cooler, or almost flat. But February is only one month. No warming since long before Greta was born What follows are the mean DJF winter temperatures for the 14 stations plotted above, since 1998: “Global Warming” Leaves Ireland In The Cold …Emerald Island Has Been Cooling Over Past 3 Decades!
By Kirye As today is St. Patricks Day, it’s a good time to look at Ireland’s annual mean temperatures over the recent decades. As we recall, global cooling was the scare of the 1970s before global warming became the scare in the 1980s. So since the 1980s, a fair amount of warming must have taken place, right? No. Ireland has been cooling Looking at 6 stations (half at airports!) Data: JMA Obviously global warming never made it to the island. The source of the (untampered) plotted data is the Japan Meteorology Agency (JMA). 30 years of cooling The non-warming trend of the 6 Irish stations goes back to 1986, i.e. more than 30 years: There has not been any warming since 1986, thus surpassing the 30-year mean that is defined as “climate”. Cooling since Hansen’s 1988 warnings of warming When did the Irish cooldown start? Plotting the data since Dr. If the Irish can celebrate anything this St. Happy St. ===============================Pierre Gosselin contributed to this article.
