England’s Global Boiling Summer
October 15, 2023
By Paul Homewood
You would be excused for not noticing, but we have apparently just had six months of global boiling!
So what effect has this had in England in the Summer Half Year?
Temperatures were lower than in 2006, 2018 and 2022:

And rainfall was close to the long term average:

Somehow we all managed to live through this boiling!
NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
Evening Paul.
All the UK-based private / light aviation magazines have been full of moans about what a lousy summer it has been for flying! Hours in pilots’ logbooks logbooks might be a better proxy than tree-rings (sarc).
ATB & KBO – John
Yes, two of the four airshows I booked were wash outs, Shuttleworth’s evening show cancelled & East Kirby’s flying cancelled.
It looks like most Britons survived. If the planet boiling continues, Siberia and Canada might become habitable.
Climate change causes changes to boiling point.
It’s science.
But it’d need a fairly hefty vacuum pump! 😀
And consequently, there’d be few humans around to notice.
Hmmm . . . so when Net Zero gets rid of the CO2, the next step will be to get rid of the nitrogen and oxygen, too.
That’s ‘settled’ then !
Just to point out that for years I have kept a record of the Central England Dataset – the record set that is maintained by the Met Office. If we look at the warmest year in that record – calculated on a daily basis – the warmest year (365/6 consecutive days) was 3rd May 2006 to 2nd May 2007 (with a mean temperature of 11.71C). For comparison the latest mean temperature (taken to be the 365 days ending 14 October 2023) has a mean temperature of 11.07C. Calculating the warmest year on a monthly basis, the warmest 12 months is May 2006 to April 2007 (with a mean temperature of 11.63C). For comparison the latest mean temperature (taken to be the twelve months October 2022 to September 2023) has a mean temperature of 10.98C. Isn’t it interesting that 16 years have now elapsed since the mean temperature hit its record and Central England haven’t seen a warmer 12 months or 365/6 day stretch in that period – despite the climate emergency.
Even this deceives.
One could look at the numbers and think, “11.63C to 11.71C, that’s 10% warmer!”
The use of degrees, and not the Kelvin absolute scale, distorts reality.
Charts of ‘anomalies’ are also deceptive. Charted on Kelvin scale, any concerns – and climate emergency! – disappear.
Yes, warming peaks don’t last for ever despite what the IPCC boiling planet types say.
That is why each “proof” takes different time periods and different areas. We can gave hottest days, hottest bank holidays, hottest months, hottest seasons, hottest years. And we can have that at one station, a city, a region, a country or a continent if you can smear a high temperature widely enough via an average. And of course by focusing on places that are hot, they ignore the places that are cooler than average completely. Is the world a bit warmer than 100 years ago? Perhaps, but it’s not obvious in anything other than averages.
Cities around the World are warmer than they were 100 years ago as they have undergone massive expansion and growth of heat generating and storing buildings.
The political/science/media conglomerate are trying to base policy on OUTLIERS.
It’s stupid. And successful.
Let’s just say we believe the word weasels and it has indeed been warmer this year. Climate, or klymutt what ever the arts graduates pushing this stuff seem not to grasp is that climate is the average of weather over a period of time ( the arbitrary period chosen is 30 years). Now that gives ONE data point for that 30 years period, so it has to be compared to OTHER 30 year periods and only an Arts graduate would think one point is the basis for a trend according to political statistics! So the minimum number of points needed to describe a trend is three and anyone who will make a call on three data points is not someone I would want handling anything important in my life!
Rather important postscript. Let us just say there is a straight line describing an upward trend in global temperature even though they want us to pay attention to a global average temperature for a planet with ice at both poles and heat from the big yellow shiny thing being applied inconsistently. This again is the stuff again of Arts graduate dreams and is scientifically meaningless.
Regardless, let’s just say it is real and useful….. then the Arts graduates are still left with a herd of elephants in the room because there is still no identified cause regardless how much they screech and wail and XE zombies perform bizarre performative theatre bedecked in hydrocarbon products. No matter what word salad comes out of the mouth of the idiot in chief at the UN or the educationally compromised and badly parented Swedish truant. Most compelling of all however, is the fact that support for this crapola is divided along political lines which should actually surprise no one as it is and always has been just a politically manipulated scam from the get go. The damage these people are doing to both society and our civilization is incalculable.
Spot on. How do we convince the morons?
All will be well no need to panic.
MG has sold a billion quids worth of electric vehicles in 2022. I was nearly impressed until at an average cost of £25000 that’s only 40k sales across the brand.
MG Motors has said it is in a “very strong position to take advantage” of the shift to electric cars as it posted UK sales worth more than £1bn for 2022

Forgive me for being a Unionist Scot! … well there are some issues -maybe this one about the Hottest summer: I thought that earlier it was a UK’s hottest summer? So what’s the FUSS about, ENGLAND ? -made up of so many Counties – in themselves, part of Scotlandshire – had similar weather ( extremes – ha ha ha! ) Now if the County around Heathrow has the hottest summer – so well & good. Death Valley Had the hottest summer in NINETEEN 13 – think he said in a TV Doc’y I saw today. Yes 1913.
So Scotland and it’s annexed Counties having a COLD Summer, Crops affected, doesn’t matter , not worthy of Note?. Most vegetative growth around September and a not -so-wet or stormy spell as forecast, yet when Englandshire was cooking again , the rest of us were burning the winter coal already and now, with little windpower either.
Farmers harvesting Tatties on the Banks of the Tay above Perth – what flooding ? and Harvesting SPRING Barley in the Scottish Borders ( what rain ?) “Doesn’t add up” and on the return Journey, yesterday, SNOW & HAIL & SLEET to almost sea-level yesterday. We’ve has Snow on top of Cairngorms at end Sept before, indeed been seeing grass getting cut IN THE SNOW around that part of the world in the first week October, before while elsewhere it would have been a lovely autumnal day; that’s life “up in the Hills” … and we lived, no fuss, no taxes, etc Peace. and folks ask me now why the UK folk are SO ANGRY ! ??
It never boiled in my England – in reality, it never boiled anywhere
It appears that even Bill gates acknowledges that the ever increasing alarmism is not working:

The propaganda is getting so hysterical and comical, some folks I know who, hitherto, have been committed supporters of XR, JSO, Net Zero et al have, with some gentle prompting, actually woken up to the hoax!
It is not a secret that the uber-wealthy, aka WEF, have a strong interest in climate change and members of this group constantly lobby for Net Zero policies. The idea that climate change should be used in order to steer society and justify global Government was explicitly raised in the Club of Rome’s 1991 book, The Global Revolution. The book stated:
“In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like, would fit the bill.”
Yes, it is The Unifying Cause, to bring the world together under a single government.
Climate change has nothing to do with weather!
I’m surprised how quickly it’s got cold this autumn.
I confidently predict that this year’s descriptor “Global Boiling” will soon morph into “Global Flambéing”.
It is certainly not boiling this morning in my corner of Surrey. A frost!!! In recent times almost unknown in October. So nippy I lit my stove to warm the house a bit.
This has just appeared on the village website:
“You are invited to attend a Green Action Plan Meeting
A Climate and Ecological Emergency has recently been declared by the Parish Council.
The next step is to prepare a Green Action Plan which addresses community needs and represents community views.
Everyone’s views and ideas, big or small, are important!
With your help we would like to create the Green Action Plan for our Parish. This will be used to drive initiatives to include reducing carbon emissions and restoring nature.”
Can anyone give any suggestions as to whether to attend and if attending what approach to take and what to say at the meeting.
I’m tempted to say that it is all a load of rubbish, but have downloaded the Met Office weather data for the South West which shows remarkably little overall change in the weather. It only shows how variable the weather is.
Certainly not a hockey stick or an emergency.
Anyway, any helpful suggestions?
If you do attend you can always ask the other attendees to hold their hands up to answer a few simple questions such as “what are diamonds made of?” or “what is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere?” or “what is the weight of a litre of water?” You will amazed at how many will not know the answers.
You will also have ascertained all those with no basic science knowledge if they can’t answer so have a go at them when they spout off all the quasi religious crap they inevitably will.
You could start by drawing attention to the following:
“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the industrial revolution. That will not happen overnight and it will not happen at a single conference on climate change, be it COP 15, 21, 40 – you choose the number. It just does not occur like that. It is a process, because of the depth of the transformation.” – Christiana Figures (former UN Climate Envoy
”One must say clearly that we redistribute defacto the world’s wealth by climate policy. One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy.” – Ottmar Edenhoffer of the UN IPCC
Alternatively, they are too late as reported here:
“The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consul Ifft, at Bergen, Norway.
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he declared, all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met with as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm.
Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts, which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.”

If you begin from here, I’d advise against it. Global boiling is a figment and oh btw they fixed the data sets.
It is interesting to note that the coldest summer was 2012 which coincides,
I think, , with the lowest Arctic sea-ice extent.
Warm air moving into the Arctic and melting the ice and pushing cold air out of the polar regions to cool our summer, perhaps.

People no longer cry wolf.
They cry climate change.
Test
trying again
I would like a link to the chart, that link takes me to a table of data ? anyone help
The link is below the graphs Glen
That link takes you to the met website then onto a list of data in table fornat, I want the chart you showed so I could share with others
Glen
Sorry for the delay, I’ve away cycling for a few days and my files were at home.
I’m emailing the spreadsheets to you now
Paul
Many thanks
