For those entirely new to assessing climate behavior: An anomaly is a deviation from the average. In January of 2025, Planet Earth's surface temperatures were 3 Fahrenheit degrees below the average. In February 2025, record cold transpired, also. In fact, March started-off with record cold weather and general cold waves.
January's negative digit anomaly is significant, being that, during the Biden Years, humanity was being told that Planet Earth was locked in a Global "Boiling" Climate Crisis. Thus, the past two months broke the hypnotic trance of the Biden Mouthpieces. In fact, one individual writer called the February 2025 cold waves "history book weather."
This proves once again that there is NO run-away doomsday global boiling climate crisis "tipping point." This means that is no positive feedback loops that endlessly encroach on Planet Earth's atmosphere, starting the "next extinction event."
After all, the Maldives are still NOT underwater, no matter what the repeated failed prophet, Jim Hansen, claimed since 1988. Contrary to the Hansen Doomsday Prophecy, the 2025 Maldives enjoy a thriving tourist and real estate industry, as well as a number of functioning airports.
The West Side Hwy of NYC is not underwater, either, as Jim Hansen falsely prophesied in a 1988 senate subcommittee hearing. In fact, some of Planet Earth's glaciers are growing in size at this very moment. Record crop yields have been enjoyed throughout Planet Earth, throughout the 2020s. Likewise, England did NOT turn into Siberia by 2020, and the glaciers of Glacier National Park were not "gone by 2020," either.
The MINUS 3.08 degree Fahrenheit avg temp anomaly for January 2025 is decisive news. It shows that the Biden-Era "Climate Crisis" People were nothing more than Climate Grifters. There is an outrageously large amount of taxpayer dollars they owe to the American taxpayers.
Even when the outdoor CO2 level was notably lower than today ... such as in 1922 ... the media reported on global warming and melting Arctic ice. That was over 100 years ago. Every type of weather you can list has happened previously, over and over again and again. Therefore, there is no never-before-seen weather.
Yes, over 100 years ago, the press/media was stating that the world was undergoing Global Warming. It was the same story as today, without the end-of-the-world hysterics. At the time, Global Warming was seen as something that made the climate more livable. After all, shivering is painful. Observe:
As soon as Biden leaves office, we entered into an era of History Book Weather that undid the effect of every global boiling doomsday prediction told to us like scary campfire stories.
In review, the record cold & snow of January & February 2025 was a pivotal event, in showing that there is no "global boiling," "tipping point," positive feedback, climate crisis at hand. This was also the case:
1] during the record breaking Winter cold of 2020-2021 (specifically during February 7th to the 20th, when there were 9,027 daily cold records tied or set). This was also the case, 2] during the Winter of 2019, 3] as well as the Winter of 2015, 4] the Winter of 2014, and most especially 5] the Winter of 2009-2010. Record cold & epic cold was transpiring all along ... in cyclical intervals of time ... throughout the time span regarded as a "global warming tipping point crisis." See for yourself:
As far as goes March 2025, see:
In re: the graph above: That particular graph is of surface temperatures and their deviation from average surface temps. Roy Spencer & John Christy, in Alabama, both monitor the Lower Tropospheric Temperature, via the Aqua Satellite and the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit.
Roy & John recently reported that the temperature rise in the lower Troposphere has been 0.25 degrees Fahrenheit per decade. They also reported that the temperature rate is NOT accelerating.
Moreover, the decisive test for "global warming" or "global cooling" is the middle of the Troposphere. Very simply, if there is no temperature rise in the middle of the Troposphere, then there is no global warming.
A copy of the NOAA graph above is also posted at the bottom of this post, at a larger size, for those who are too stubborn or too brainwashed to understand. It's simple. During the Biden Years, Americans were told a parade of lies. This includes lies about climate and weather history.
The mature question which is: What actually drives the temperatures?
ANS: It's not atmospheric CO2 which does so. This is because 0.043% of the atmosphere ... with a radiative forcing of no more than 3.7 watts per meter squared ... can't drive the atmosphere. Pressure Gradient Force drives the climate, in terms of degree of turbulence in the atmosphere. This is why the Arctic Jet Streams meanders during Wintertime. The further the temperature difference between the Poles and the Equator the more the turbulence ... and meandering. Winter brings a larger difference in the temperature between the Arctic and the Equator.
Sunspot Activity not commensurate with heatwaves in history
Moreover, it also is NOT Sunspot Activity that drives the temperatures, unless there is a delayed effect from solar flares that has not yet been charted & graphed. During some of the hottest times in the early 20th Century, there were many instances when sunspot activity was extremely low. This included the inferno year of 1921, as well as the year regarded by NASA as the worst drought year in the past one thousand years. That was 1934. In conclusion, there has been heatwave weather when the sunspot activity was low.
In addition, there are times when an epic heatwave year would also host an epic cold winter. This would include significant temperature anomalies in the negative digit range, come wintertime. This translated into a super cold winter and super hot summer in the same one year ... or within two years. Yet, in the record books, the winter/summer anomaly numbers evened-out to the point of making that year look non-eventful and mild. After all, when you add a super cold winter to a super hot summer, you get zero, in the temperature anomaly department.
For example, England endured an outrageously cold February, in 1895. In America, the temperature anomaly for Feb 1895 was MINUS 9.05 degrees Fahrenheit. This was accompanied by Australia's epic drought which ran from Feb 1895 to 1903. Keep in mind that February is summertime in Australia.
Then, in 1896, Northeastern America hosted Ten Days of Death, in one of a series of deadly heatwaves that visited America until the end of the 1930s. This would be followed by the "Four Decade Temperature Decline" hidden by Michael Mann in his deceptive Hockey Stick Temperature Graph. Yet, during that decline, in 1976, heatwave tragedy visited Europe.
Water Vapor
Moreover, 90% of all greenhouse gases, by volume, is WATER VAPOR. So, if Planet Earth's atmosphere is carrying too much of a level of greenhouse gases, then Water Vapor is the cause.
In as much, have you ever read of a Climate Crisis Activist ever mention "Water Vapor" as a greenhouse gas? The failure to include Water Vapor in the greenhouse gas list is the sign of a total fraud who must be totally ignored by novices. These same frauds need to be investigated by law enforcement authorities for Theft by Deception, being that some of these people received outrageously large sums of taxpayer dollars, in the name of a Climate Crisis which certainly doesn't exist. These people are Grifters.
Then there is the matter of CIRRUS CLOUDS. They are very effective in retaining (capturing) infrared heat. Thus, if you got rid of all the CO2 and methane on Planet Earth, you would still have a 90% supply of greenhouse houses and the added help of cirrus clouds which are elongated masses of frozen water, ever so ironically. It's just that, if you got rid of all the CO2, all life on Earth would cease, due to the end of photosynthesis ... which is commenced by the Sun.
The Oceans
This takes us to the oceans, as the driver of atmospheric temps, unless you want to entertain the Cosmic Wave Theory which is beyond the scope of this particular post. Even at that, there have been Chinese scientists who wrote on the effects of weather by cosmic waves. Thus, Cosmic Waves' Alleged Effect of Weather IS a topic worth studying.
None the less, ENSO has its validity in determining temperatures, as in El Nino and La Nina. The North Atlantic Oscillation was shown to have its validity, too.
As far as goes the oceanic CO2 level, a certain individual, at the behest of the Biden Administration, claimed that 44% of the ocean-bound CO2 monitoring devices disappeared from service, due to Covid. This was stated in 2023. So, it was claimed that we just don't know how much CO2 is in the ocean. HOWEVER, the vast majority of ocean water always is 39 degrees FAHRENHEIT. Plus, CO2 captures no heat where the is no sunlight.
None the less, CO2's presence in ocean water is where the acidification debate comes into play. So, keep in mind that the present ocean PH is at an average of 8.1. Neutral is 7.0. Moreover, if the oceans warm-up, less CO2 will be able to dissolve in the oceans. I've already written on CO2 as it applies to the ocean, and there is a search engine at the top righthand corner of this page.
The operative word here is IF. After all, we underwent the recent fraud of unconscionable individuals who claimed that Florida Everglade runoff water was instead ocean water, distant from the shore. Everglade water is much hotter than ocean water. So, the claim at the time, in 2023, was that the ocean water off of Florida reached 101F. The truth is that the ocean's surface temperature was 86F, on that day. The Everglade run-off water was 101F on that same day, and that's nothing new.
So, there is the matter of fraud to consider when the ocean CO2 level is mentioned. This was the case with the Resplandy, Keeling, et al paper of 2018 which had math errors. The paper claimed that the oceans were warming at a rate much faster than expected. It was an Apocalyptic paper which turned out to be a mathematical fraud. Nature Magazine and a co-author of the invalid paper admitted as much. Yet, the co-author defended as valid the general theory behind the paper.
Even today, the vast majority of ocean water is 39F.
Super Cooled Water in the Arctic that did NOT turn into ice
Also remember that there is Arctic water which is Super Cooled, at 29.7F. Thus, the lessening of Arctic sea ice extent can't all be written-off as melted ice. And and and the Greenland Freshwater Run-off accusation of melted ice being released into the salty Atlantic Ocean has an invalidating feature to it.
The Greenland Freshwater Runoff accusation looses its power in the fact that a number of major rivers unleash millions of gallons of fresh water per second into the salty Atlantic Ocean. The amount of Greenland runoff water doesn't compare to the flow of the Mississippi, the St. Lawrence, the Congo, the Orinoco, and the Amazon ... combined. So, where is the desalinization of the Atlantic in those places? That influx of fresh Mississippi River water into the Gulf of Mexico/America did not cause the Gulf Stream to slow-down.
By the law, President Donald Trump needs to change the name of the gulf to at least The Gulf of Atlantic America. You know, there is a Gulf of California, too. I stood on its shoreline. America is huge in size. One needs to define American geography & oceanography with more precision & certitude.
At this point, observe the following facts which prove that Planet Earth has NOT been in a warming-only scenario:
1} Antarctica had its COLDEST WINTER in recorded history, in 2021. This occurred after the CO2 level had been steadily rising for the past 80 years, starting with the mass industrialization projects of WWII.
2a} The largest amount of Antarctic Sea Ice Extent formed in 2014 or 2015. This occurred 73 years after the start of the steady rise in atmospheric CO2.
2bi} Moreover, it was in 2015 when New Zealand scientists found that the bottom of the massive Ross Ice Shelf was crystalized and NOT melting. (Smoothness would denote melting. Jaggedness denotes the opposite of melting.)
2bii} At the time, this Ross Discovery was extremely unexpected, due to the resurgence of the "Global Warming" & "Climate Change" propaganda. In 2009, that propaganda was invalidated after the publication of the 2009 Climategate Emails which proved that the "Global Warming" Movement was a grifter scam, done by those in search of massive funding from governments and/or NGOs.
3} The worst/coldest winter in 37 years occurred in 2014, also.
4} In December of 2023, the Russian towns of Delyankir, Oymyakon, and Yakutia underwent temperatures colder than -70F. In the same December, Munich underwent -18C (0.4F) temps and approximately 15 inches of snow in one unit of time.
5} Record high crop harvests occurred all throughout the 2020s. Yet, we were told that we were all going to be locked in crop failures and worldwide famine, due to the rise in CO2. Excuse me, but CO2 is what makes crop yields plentiful.
6} Keep in mind that the Maldives still did not go underwater. It still has several airports in operation. This includes international airports.
7} Also keep in mind that the West Side Highway, in NYC, is still not underwater, as was predicted by James Hansen 36 years ago, in 1988, during a senate subcommittee hearing.
8a} On February 21, 2004, the US Edition of the Guardian reported that the Pentagon told President George Bush II that "Britain will be Siberian in less than twenty years."
8b} The Same Guardian edition stated that: "A secret report, suppressed by US defence chiefs and obtained by the Observer warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas, as Britain is plunged into a Siberian climate by 2020." It's now 2025, and none of this predicted doomsday scenario has happened.
8c} That claim was based on the belief that melted summertime ice would flow off of Greenland into the Northern Atlantic, and slow down the Gulf current ... due to desalinization of the ocean & due to the inability of salt-free water to sink into the ocean's depth.
8d} Well, keep in mind that the hypocrisy of this claim consists in the fact that, during every second of ever hour of every day, MILLIONS of gallons of fresh, salt-free, river water rush into the Atlantic Ocean.
9} From the Winter of 2009-2010 and onward, there certainly were intervals of record-breaking cold. This included the record cold temperatures of January & February 2025 in America & Northern Asia.
10} During the Southern Hemisphere's SUMMER MONTH of February, in 2025, New South Wales Australia, Victoria Australia, and Tasmania experienced subzero temperatures, CELSIUS. This would translate into freezing temperatures, Fahrenheit, in the middle of the SUMMER OF 2025.
Once again, this involves the Australian & Tasmanian summertime, and such weather is known as a Summer Polar Outbreak. It occurred in 2025, while the Northern Hemisphere was enduring all types of record breaking cold and snow. See for yourself:
(Note: In the news article is the photo of a car with snow on it. A date is written on the windshield: 16/2/25. Australians place the day of the month first, and then the month second, in their numerical notation. Thus, the note on the snowy windshield is 16th of February, 2025. That's summertime in Australian.)
11} Even Japan had record breaking snowfall in February of 2025. See for yourself:
The Sudden & Extreme fall of the avg temp indicates no positive feedback mechanism for CO2
Scientists know that there is not enough CO2 in the sky to trigger global warming. They hope to find a "positive feedback mechanism" triggered by the presently small amount of CO2 that would create an unending "loop" which would then result in unending temperature rise. Well, January 2025 proved that there is no such positive feedback mechanism which would possibly cause the endless rise of temps. The sudden drop in temperature showed that there is no unending gear ratchetting the temperature upward.
It's the Urban Heat Island Effect
At the surface level of Planet Earth, you have asphalt which retains heat very successfully, upon its own power. It does NOT need CO2 to do this. In fact, sand ... beach sand ... also retains IR heat successfully well, on its own. Such a thing is the opposite of "albedo."
Albedo is the ability to reflect sunlight and its heat back into outer space. The color white has a high level of albedo, in terms of percentage of sunlight deflected. 100% albedo is a mirror perfectly aligned against incoming & oncoming sunlight.
There already were a number of years where the average temperature anomaly was quite low, thereby already proving that there is no positive feedback mechanism triggered by a slight amount of atmospheric CO2.
Most of these end-of-the-world climate crisis assertions were and are pieces of propaganda, designed to deceive the US Congress into shelling out outrageously large sums of taxpayer dollars to these scientists who failed to get the CO2 level to decline, despite billions of dollars already given to them ... and despite many years to do so. However, American & European industry did achieve a decline in CO2 emissions, within their prospective nations. The coal-fired power plants of China & India are causing the increase in atmospheric CO2.
The atmospheric CO2 level of Earth reached its record height ... for any time in the history of mankind ... under Biden and Harris, in May of 2024. This occurred despite Biden's draconian measures designed to lower the CO2 count which already is quite low, comparatively speaking.
None the less, today's rise in atmospheric CO2 is being caused by all of the recently built coal-fired power plants placed into operation in India & China. In all recent "climate agreements," China was designated as "exempt" from having to participate. Yet, the CO2 Level of today is NOT apocalyptic, anyway. CO2 only occupies 0.043% of the sky outside. In fact, 99.5% of the Earth's atmosphere is occupied by 1] Water Vapor, 2] Nitrogen, 3] Oxygen, and 4] Argon. So think: 99.500% vs 00.043%. Huge difference.
Now for the worldwide temperature DECLINE hidden by Michael Mann with his math trick
Take note that during 1941 to 1985, the average YEARLY temperature anomaly did NOT rise above ZERO degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, it did NOT rise to positive digits, for 45 years. The ZERO MARK on the X axis of this graph is the double horizontal line somewhat close to the middle of the graph's grid lines. Simply look for the double line going sideways. That's the ZERO MARK. All temperature anomalies from 1941 to 1985 are either less than ... or equal to ... ZERO.
Of course, there were a minority of months which had a positive temperature anomalies throughout this time. The prime example is July of 1980, when Dallas was completing its record of 42 consecutive days of 100+ Fahrenheit weather.
None the less, below is: your "decline," ladies and gentleman. It's the one that was hidden by Michael Mann, as was mentioned in the 2009 Climategate Emails. It was regarded as Mike's Nature Trick, in Nov 12, 1999, by Phil Jones. This was in reference to the Nature Magazine paper of Mann and other contributors. It was published in 1999.
Phil Jones was in charge of the East Anglia Climate Research Unit. The trick to which he referred consisted in Michael Mann cutting off the Briffa Reconstruction graph line at 1961. Mann then used thermostat readings, for 1961 and onward.
If I can get around to posting a sunspot activity graph of the United States gov, I'll do so. But, the bottom line is that high sunspot activity does not co-exist with high heatwaves, unless there's a delayed mechanism that hasn't been charted, yet. None the less, there is an 11 Year Sunspot Cycle, and sometimes, temperatures and weather seems to parallel the weather eleven years prior ... sometimes.
