THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: Spring in UK & US is the coldest in more than 50 years
The US is also experiencing the coldest spring in history.The Reference Frame: An extremely cloudy Prague in 2013
...On the other hand, even if you adopt the hugely overestimated median predictions by the IPCC, the overall change of the global temperature during the two years that they want to attribute to CO2 is something like 0.03 °C. Imagine that you are a sane person and I ask you: What is the more important change among the following two: the increase of cloud cover from 61% to 82% or an increase of the global mean temperature (that is only very weakly correlated with the local temperature anywhere) by 0.03 °C?Why did the 400ppm carbon milestone cause barely a ripple? | Andrew Simms | Environment | guardian.co.uk
Clearly, no human in the world could possibly detect the latter without special gadgets – and even common thermometers aren't really enough. On the other hand, everyone notices the lousy weather we've had in the Czech Republic since the early 2013 or so. After all, the clouds decide about more than 10 °C changes of the temperature during the daytime, 300 times greater temperature difference than the hypothetically CO2-induced temperature change. It's important to see various events and changes in the proper context and ignore events and changes that are manifestly 100+ times less important than certain other things that we pretty much ignore, too.
Why not meet the real world half way, and add a daily notification of the rising CO2 level to every daily paper and major news broadcast? It won't cost extra, will be harder to ignore and the price of doing so will be very high indeed.One Hundred Months
