According to the latest data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), there has been no “global warming” over the past decade. Instead, global COOLING continues for the eighth consecutive year! The NASA satellite data finds a 0.11°C/decade drop in average global temperatures over the past eight years and five months.
CO2 emissions, whether natural or man-made, are not driving the world into an “existential crisis” of global warming. Despite 475 billion tons of man-made CO2 emissions in the Earth’s atmosphere, there still isn’t any evidence over the past decade that global warming exists or that it will “end the planet as we know it.”
Greenhouse gas effect is not the sole driver of global temperatures, and CO2 emissions will not end the world It turns out that the greenhouse gas effect alone (observed on a small scale) does not extrapolate across the entire planet. There are many confounding factors in climate, weather, and ecology that keep the greenhouse gas effect in balance. The unpredictability of seasonal air masses, ocean currents, tectonic activity, photosynthesis, and solar activity are large confounding factors that are all forgotten when global warming alarmists hyper-focus on CO2 and the greenhouse gas effect. Weather modification programs and geoengineering can also be used to manipulate natural processes, weather patterns, and temperature, skewing overall temperature data.
Of course, there’s no foolproof way to accurately take the Earth’s temperature anyway, with so many variances occurring on a momentary basis in the atmosphere, on the ground, and throughout the oceans. What we do know is what we can feel in our own regional climates from season to season. The US Northeast is currently experiencing record cold temperatures. For example, Mt. Washington, N.H., just recorded a record low -45.5 degrees Fahrenheit and -107 degree wind chill. A record Siberian air mass blanketed the entire United States Christmas week 2022, bringing near record lows all the way to Florida. Even the fear-mongering media is reporting on record arctic temperatures in the Northeast, with reports coming out, saying, “Arctic outbreak shatters records in Northeast.” In the Southern US, there was a near-record low for hurricane activity during the 2022 hurricane season.
Brighteon.TV Fact checkers sell more global warming fear, ignoring cooling trends Correlation does not equal causation. CO2 levels are being frivolously correlated with past warming trends, as the cooling trends are dismissed. When the cooling cycles return with rising CO2 levels, (as observed over the past eight years) the whole CO2-global warming theory loses its credibility.
Of course, the “fact checkers” were quick to dismiss the data on global cooling over the past decade. The latest Feb 3 “fact check” made sure to sell the global warming hoax a little harder by claiming that eight years of data on global cooling “is not a trend” and that we should be preparing for the planet’s end. The fact check claims that “eight cooler years cannot be extrapolated to draw conclusion on long term global warming.”
The fact checkers claim the eight years of global cooling data do not change the overall trajectory of global warming over the past several decades. The fact checkers can extrapolate data over several decades to “prove” their theory and push their narrative to benefit the global elite, but they fail to recognize the cooling trends, and why the fluctuations in temperature are part of a larger cycle that is beyond man’s control. There is no reason to fear monger about temperatures, unless there is a global economic agenda to implement. Of course, that’s what all the fear and panic is for – to motivate governments to comply with global agendas that benefit the select few who engineer artificial crises.
WION Climate Tracker: Scientists revive 48,500-year-old ‘zombie virus’ buried in ice | English News
French scientists have revived a 48,500-year-old "zombie virus" buried under a frozen lake in Russia. Scientists have long warned that the thawing of permafrost due to atmospheric warming will worsen climate change by freeing previously trapped greenhouse gases like methane.

(Usually I have a comment before pasting an article; no need in this instance. Truth needs nothing from me here to speak elegantly well on its own.)
Invasive species proliferating in Valais is encroaching on natural reserves and posing a biodiversity threat
The residents of the Swiss canton of Valais are used to seeing their mountainsides covered with snow in winter and edelweiss flowers in summer. But as global heating intensifies, they are increasingly finding an invasive species colonising the slopes: cacti.
Authorities say cactus species belonging to the genus Opuntia, or prickly pears, are proliferating in parts of Valais, encroaching on natural reserves and posing a biodiversity threat.
“A lover of dry and hot climates, this invasive and non- native plant is not welcome in the perimeter of prairies and dry pastures of national importance,” the municipality of Fully in the Rhone valley said in a press release announcing the uprooting campaign in late 2022.
Opuntia species and similar cacti have also proliferated in some of the hills around the capital of Valais, in Sion, where estimates suggest Opuntia plants now make up 23-30% of the low vegetation cover. Their presence has also been reported in neighbouring Alpine regions, including Ticino and Grisons in Switzerland, and the Aosta valley and Valtellina in Italy.
“In some parts of Valais, we estimate that the cacti can occupy one-third of the available surface,” says Yann Triponez, a biologist who works in the canton of Valais’ nature protection service. He says Opuntia have been present in Valais at least since the late 18th century, when it was imported from North America.
But authorities believe that a warmer climate in the Alps, allowing for longer vegetation periods, and the diminishing snow cover might be creating the ideal conditions for them to spread.
“These species bear -10C or -15C without any problem,” says Peter Oliver Baumgartner, a retired geology professor with a longstanding side interest in botany who has been commissioned by the canton to study and write a report on the plants. “But they want to be in a dry place and don’t like snow cover.”
Snow is becoming rarer at lower altitudes, even in the Alps. According to Meteo Swiss, the number of snow days under 800 metres of altitude in Switzerland has halved since 1970. A recent study published in Nature Climate Change said snow covers the Alps for about a month less than historical averages and called the situation “unprecedented in the last six centuries.”
Temperatures across the range have been rising twice as fast as the global average, and average temperatures in Switzerland are already 2.4C warmer than 1871-1900 averages. “If you look at climate change reports,” Baumgartner says, “the curves for Switzerland are almost as steep as for the Arctic.”
Nine species have spread on sunny, south-facing slopes below 700 metres of altitude, where they compete with endemic and sometimes threatened species. “Valais is one of the biodiversity hotspots in Switzerland,” says Triponez. “We have about 3,000 species of plants in Switzerland, and some 2,200 are in Valais.”
He says authorities are worried by the cacti’s spread to natural reserves and protected areas. “When you have these cacti, nothing else grows,” says Triponez. “Each pad covers the soil and prevents other plants from growing through.”
Baumgartner says that only four of the nine Opuntia species in Valais represent a threat to local ecosystems, particularly in areas with acid or neutral soils, which account for one-third of the valley’s south-facing slopes.
Quantitative data about their spread is incomplete because Baumgartner’s report, which has not yet been published, is the first recent attempt to estimate the plants’ presence in the region. But Baumgartner says there is abundant evidence of their proliferation in several areas he has visited.
The uprooting campaign will resume in the next few weeks in Fully, and Triponez says authorities have also launched an awareness campaign to inform residents, who sometimes plant the cacti, and tourists about the threat.
Preventing Opuntia from proliferating will not be an easy task. The plants reproduce easily, growing back even when felled, stepped on by hikers or left dry for months, and recover quickly after they are uprooted.
A decade ago, eradication campaigns were unsuccessful in Sion. In Fully, when the species were uprooted last year, the plants were heaped up in a forest, where authorities thought shade and humidity would make them rot and compost. But when Baumgartner visited the heap, the pads at the top appeared to be thriving. At the same time, the cacti are also growing back in most places they were uprooted from, making biologists like Baumgartner doubt whether the cacti can be eradicated at all.
“We can restrict them,” he says. “But I don’t think we can get rid of them.”

The person who seems to have started this controversy seemingly cropped the graphs in his favor and for his cause which seems to be political. Some things I read reported he is not showing the long term trend this way by cropping data.
His name is Steve J. Milloy, he knows the loop holes, he is a lawyer.
He used to work for Fox News and is the editor for a website called junksceince.com
"Steven J. Milloy is a lawyer, lobbyist, author and former Fox News commentator" (from a web search)
I am not partisan in any manner. I do not trust the ballot box podium they are double minded, say one thing and do another. When it comes to climate and the man made contributions to it involving a heavily toxic unclean environment I cannot deny my part. We are being swept along by the consumerism tsunami with no end in sight just the final conclusion ending. I don't see how any politician can fix what it has become or undo the damage, it's too far gone imo.
As keepers of the vineyard it's tragic for us all.

OMG cc. Yes. I did see that they weren't YOUR graphs and charts. I did see that they were from NOAA. I do read, you know. ;) You keep repeating this question as if you actually gave that agency unquestioning credibility! You do that *so well* when you're invested in the answer/explanation anyone or any organization/agency provides... ;)
I'll still trust the physical evidence smacking me in the face over numbers and lines on pieces of paper... Unless, of course, you have some credible, brilliant and convinctly accurate explanation as to why and how (in this example) cacti are growing on high-elevation mountainsides in Switzerland... Why/how so many glaciers are disappearing...
I'm sure you'll have something lined up! Let's hear it!

just like in the movie, "Day After Tomorrow!" what was temporarily experienced was from the Tonga volcano last year. as the ice melts and goes to the Equator area and floods island nations. this will put pressure on the largest ocean plate the Pacific. the weight will cause subductions to make many other volcanoes to erupt. these eruption will dump into the air enough sun blocking particles that one day no sun will see the earth, coming soon near you all.
no food will grow without the sun. so then add to this the Geoengineering experiment by David Keith from Harvard. I believe there has been two or three years of his experimenting by placing particles into the upper atmosphere to block the sun.
when I contacted the group very many years ago there was no plan as to how to remove the stuff from the upper atmosphere and they said it would eventually fall to earth. google David Keith on TED conferences and watch his speech. LEARN!!!
I have been involved in weather watching since the mid 1950s. during the 1980s do any of you remember the "so called Neuclear winter experiment?" the study has been hidden from view along with most temperature reports, it caused very many deaths! peoples homes burnt up, 6 foot deep water pipes froze!
mean while the Tonga volcano cloud moves around the polar cap. it will be gone in a few years.
as for David Keith's experiments it is now kept under wraps the when and where it may be done again. this because of people protesting.

the above graph is from noaa's own climate site...Yearly surface temperature compared to the 20th-century average from 1880–2022. Blue bars indicate cooler-than-average years; red bars show warmer-than-average years. NOAA Climate.gov graph, based on data from the National Centers for Environmental Information.
the site also notes....
Earth’s temperature has risen by an average of 0.14° Fahrenheit (0.08° Celsius) per decade since 1880, or about 2° F in total.
The rate of warming since 1981 is more than twice as fast: 0.32° F (0.18° C) per decade.
2022 was the sixth-warmest year on record based on NOAA’s temperature data.
The 2022 surface temperature was 1.55 °F (0.86 °Celsius) warmer than the 20th-century average of 57.0 °F (13.9 °C) and 1.90 ˚F (1.06 ˚C) warmer than the pre-industrial period (1880-1900).
The 10 warmest years in the historical record have all occurred since 2010.
The amount of future warming Earth will experience depends on how much carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases we emit in coming decades. Today, our activities—burning fossil fuels and clearing forests—add about 11 billion metric tons of carbon (equivalent to a little over 40 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide) to the atmosphere each year. Because that is more carbon than natural processes can remove, atmospheric carbon dioxide increases each year.
