The State of the Climate 2020
By Paul Homewood
The annual report, by Professor Ole Humlum, reviews a wide range of temperature and weather data, as well as records on sea-level, storms and ice and snow cover.
Temperature records for the Earth’s surface show that 2020 was a comparatively warm year, but that by the end of the year there was a marked cooling driven by natural ocean cycles in the Pacific. This cooling was also observed higher in the atmosphere.
Sea ice levels globally remained low, but are now increasing in the Southern Hemisphere. Global snow cover remained stable and there is still no significant trend in tropical storms.
Professor Humlum said:
“The weather and weather extremes we are experiencing are still dominated by natural fluctuations. Rapid and frightening changes are nowhere to be seen in the observational data as this annual review shows.”

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
Well, of course the idea of a “climate emergency” or “existential crisis” exists only in the minds of those who set up and adjust their climate models to produce dire results. The general public, the politicianas and policy-makers accept these results as “settled science” and react accordingly. It doesn’t matter what the weather and the climate has actually done, today or in the past. It only matters that these physicist modelers assert that CO2 is the “control knob” and we must stop adding to it. Using daily scare-tactics (polar bears, coral reefs and melting glaciers) gives it an urgency that isn’t really there.
Has anyone sent Michael Mann a copy? This report shows that all Mann is doing is shooting the messenger (as is usual for him), rather than debating the message.
I thought this is interesting – there is no climate emergency
