Unclothing the Emperor : Understanding “What’s Wrong” with our “Climate Paradigm”. Part 2

This is what Zeke Hausfather didn’t include in this graph for his NYT article. The Rate of Warming (RoW) from 1850 to 1975 was about +0.08C/Decade. The RoW from 1975 to 2000 was about +0.18C/Decade. The RoW from 2000 to 2015 was about +0.24C/Decade. In 2015 the amount of solar ENERGY flowing into the Climate System INCREASED dramatically. WE DON’T KNOW the current RoW.

SO,

Last month, Zeke Hausfather wrote this for the NYT.

I Study Climate Change. The Data Is Telling Us Something New.

Where he stated.

“While natural weather patterns, including a growing El Niño event, are playing an important role, the record global temperatures we have experienced this year could not have occurred without the approximately 1.3 degrees Celsius (2.3 degrees Fahrenheit) of warming to date from human sources of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions.”

“While many experts have been cautious about acknowledging it, there is increasing evidence that global warming has accelerated over the past 15 years rather than continued at a gradual, steady pace. That acceleration means that the effects of climate change we are already seeing — extreme heat waves, wildfires, rainfall and sea level rise — will only grow more severe in the coming years.”
