Globally the warmest September on record.

[Workingman]

Globally, not in your back yard, and also presented as 'weather' not 'climate'.

Unfortunately the included graph makes things seem better than they are.



The graph shows the average line between 1991-2020, but the actual temps are from 1940. Move the average line to those between 1940 - 2020 and a lot of the blue bars from just after 1980 turn red. It makes those now shown in red even worse.

It's a fix to make us feel good about things. We are going to hit 1.5°C promised by COP21 in Paris in 2015 a lot earleir than the end of the century.

The impact of Hunga Tonga has been the opposite of a normal volcano. Because it sank before exploding and blasted cubic km of water into the mesosphere (well above the stratosphere), it has created a warming blanket whereas volcano's normally create a cooling blanket of gasses and rock particles.

Hunga Tonga was a VEI6 volcano, the size of Mt Pinatubo. Which cooled the planet for 2 years. This one was the very worst thing that could have happened with the CO2 emissions since Mt Pinatubo.

With the El Nino happening in the Pacific right now and the Hunga Tonga effect plus uncontrolled CO2 emissions, things are going to move faster than predicted.

Expect new news of the acceleration of Greenland discharge and Antarctic glacier acceleration. This last southern winter had the lowest Antarctic ice on record.

All so predicted, all so predictable. All so ignored. Nobody wants to change.
