UAH Global Temperature Update for September, 2022: +0.24 deg. C

October 3rd, 2022 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D.

The Version 6.0 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for September, 2022 was +0.24 deg. C, down slightly from the August, 2022 value of +0.28 deg. C.

The linear warming trend since January, 1979 still stands at +0.13 C/decade (+0.11 C/decade over the global-averaged oceans, and +0.18 C/decade over global-averaged land).

Various regional LT departures from the 30-year (1991-2020) average for the last 21 months are:

    Oh well, next month then.

      ” So disappointed. ”

      About what, angech?

      Do you miss some harsher cooling?

        I am presently raising another $33,000 or many months from home by doing terribly honest and easy on-line sports activities from home. The month comes from this interest at home.~te30″~ im currently interacting in short throughout this interest and creating plenty of cash online victimization the usable helpful resource of by using the balance at intervals
        the given stats system http://doingwork12.blogspot.com

    • Richard M says:

      Not so disappointing when you understand that lower Antarctic sea ice will reduce albedo and lead to some additional warming. Since Antarctic sea ice melts away quickly, this will have an influence for about one more month. It also appears to be heading back into normal range.

      Of course, lower Arctic sea ice levels will kick in about that time. That’s been normal for about the last 20 years and it may actually start increasing soon as the AMO is due to cycle back into its cool phase within a few years.

      • Nate says:

        “lower Antarctic sea ice will reduce albedo”

        Yes that is a well known feedback effect of warming.

        And?

      • Richard M says:

        Nate, it sure seems to be a fickle feedback (can I copywrite that phrase?). It resisted for decades prior to 2015 and has since cycled between helping and hurting the warming.

        On top of that, the greenhouse effect over Antarctica itself is supposed to be negative (cooling). That means cooler air flowing off the continent and reinforcing sea ice accumulation.

        I’d suggest not holding your breath. It’s only helped “the cause” for about a year and is back within the normal range at present.

      • Nate says:

        Also, I think the recent warming is primarily in the NH.

  2. Bellman says:

    7th warmest September in the UAH data set. Apart from 1997, all warmer Septembers have been since 2016.

    My tentative prediction for the year remains at 0.185 C. It looks increasingly likely that 2022 will be warmer than 2015, makin it the 7th warmest year, but still a chance it will beat 2010 for 6th place.

    • John Boland says:

      And the UAH data set is HUUUUGE!
      Not.

      • barry says:

        Other data sets are longer but apparently unreliable. UAH is apparently reliable but too short.

        / sarc

        It takes very little work to rubbish everything.

    • TheFinalNail says:

      The US value also stands out. +0.88 is the second warmest September in USA48 and the warming rate for that month is +0.4C per decade. Fall (autumn – Sep/Oct/Nov) is the fastest warming season in the US. Not sure why that might be.

    • DMacKenzie says:

      Bellman,
      If its gotten a degree warmer over a century, it is actually more remarkable that the latest year is cool enough to be in 7th place of the last 43 data points..

  3. Bellman says:

    The “Monckton Pause” still starts in October 2014, and so expect excitable posts about it lengthening by a month. In truth I doubt the start date will change by much until it disappears, so the pause will continue to”grow” just by the passing of time.

    • Richard M says:

      The pause will likely accelerate this winter. With another La Nina and less influence from reduced Antarctic sea ice, the anomalies are likely to be close to zero.

    • PCman999 says:

      Oh, relax about “The Pause”, it’s just a simple demonstration of the inadequacy of climate change activist science – if CO2 was the Earth’s thermostat then the temperatures would have a steadier increase instead of the three current steps visible in the satellite data. There will probably be another step up, say, in 2036 give-or-take, but that is just based on eye-balling the data without looking at AMO, ENSO or anything else.

      • Bellman says:

        I’ve very relaxed about “The Pause”. It doesn’t exist, and I’ve yet to be shown any evidence to the contrary. It’s a just a piece of statistical slight of hand. I just find it amusing how it allows self proclaimed skeptics, to demonstrate how un-skeptical they can be be when it suits them.

      • An Inquirer says:

        It has been a number of years since I have looked at the pause. (I think I last looked at it in 2017.) But if you say that there is no evidence that it has existed and if you say that is a piece of statistical slight of hand, then you do not understand it. There have been periods of pauses — significantly long pauses — but the longest pauses in the past have ended. And there is no evidence that this current will not also end.

      • Richard M says:

        The pauses over the past 25 years can inform a person if they are open minded. The first pause from 1997-2015 is still hard to explain if climate sensitivity is high. The warming that ended that pause is directly attributable to a PDO phase change in 2014 which appears to have caused cloud thinning.

        After the PDO induced warming we went right back into another pause. This leaves 1-2 years in the last 25 years with any warming. What happened 25 years ago? That was when the AMO phase change occurred.

        There’s a perfectly natural correlation with all the warming we have seen for decades. While there is an underlying small warming if you look back to 1850, it is certainly not something to fear and could be simply a return to more normal amounts of solar energy being absorbed in the oceans than what occurred during the Little Ice Age.

      • Nate says:

        “After the PDO induced warming we went right back into another pause. This leaves 1-2 years in the last 25 years with any warming.”

        But no cooling. That means NET warming over the period.

        As you say PDO oscillated during the period. An upward trend plus an oscillation is fully expected to have plateaus, what you call pauses.

      • Nate says:

        “This leaves 1-2 years in the last 25 years with any warming.”

        This is in any case incorrect. At least half the years were warming years.

      • Nate says:

        FYI, here is a comparison between RSS, and PDO plus a linear trend of 0.5C over 24 y.

        https://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/rss/from:1997/mean:12/offset:-.15/plot/jisao-pdo/from:1997/mean:12/scale:0.15/detrend:-0.5

        You can clearly see the same ‘Pauses’ in both, while clearly there must be an underlying warming trend present, in both.

      • barry says:

        “If CO2 was the Earth’s thermostat then the temperatures would have a steadier increase instead of the three current steps visible in the satellite data.”

        No reason to believe they are steps when you’d see the same behaviour with a rising trend punctuated by el Ninos.

        And no reason at all to think that CO2 warming should be a monotonous rise in terms of air temperatures.

        Could easily have shortened this reply to “No reasoning.”

  4. Ireneusz Palmowski says:

    More rain in Australia and Europe. Snow in the mountains. Cool tropics.

  5. bdgwx says:

    There is usually a 5 month lag between ONI and the TLT response. 5 months ago the ONI was -1.1. Yet 2022/09 came in above the trendline. If we’re already riding above the trendline despite the strong La Nina then what is going to happen when ENSO goes neutral or even positive?

    DR ROY SPENCER (and any readers willing to learn):

    If you’d like to know why the red line on your graphs shows net global cooling due to the decline of the superimposed natural 60-year cycle that is regulated by the effect of the Sun and planets on cosmic ray intensity (such rays assisting cloud formation) and if you want to know about my world-first discovery that enables a correct explanation of temperatures in the core of the Moon, the surfaces of Venus and Earth and the temperatures at the base of nominal planetary tropospheres then you have only to read …

      • Retired Scientist says:

        Still no physics from you. I guess your belief is that physics doesn’t need empirical support. The question was addressed to Roy and his graphs support the prediction I made and archived in August 2011 on my first climate website (visited by over 73,800) …

        “From 2003 the effect of El Nio had passed and a slightly declining trend has been observed. This is the net effect of the 60-year cycle starting to decline whilst the 934 year cycle is still rising. By 2014 the decline should be steeper and continue until at least 2027. (This statement was archived 22 August 2011 here)”

        Still another response from you, Dug.

        Do you seriously think Judith Curry has a correct understanding of entropy? As for you, you haven’t even read my paper about this, or my article on Loschmidt who was right beyond a shadow of a doubt because the gravito-thermal effect is a direct consequence of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. But I don’t expect you to ever understand why as you will never read my material on this. That’s your loss. That’s why you can’t explain what process raises the Venus surface temperature on the sunlit side. For silent readers the refutation of the pathetic climatology attempts to prove Loschmidt wrong is on the “WUWT Errors” page on my second climate website http://climate-change-theory.com

  8. AaronS says:

    Reminds me of the last phase of a slight negative global trend from about 2001 to about 2015. So if that is an analogy then about 8 to 10 years more of this and then a giant El Nino phase and step up to the next plateau? This would potentially be an accurate time to compare climate models performance to data because it is getting near the center of the plateau. The pattern is a lot like a step function

    • Richard M says:

      All the warming occurred due to natural cycles which will now be trending more negative. ENSO activities tend to mask these natural cycle transitions.

      The 1997 super El Nino hid the 1995-97 AMO warm phase transition while the 2015-16 super El Nino hid the PDO phase change right before it.

      • bdgwx says:

        I don’t see much contribution to the trend from natural cycles. The model UAH = -0.32 + [1.6*log2(CO2)] + [0.12*ENSOlag5] + [0.14*AMOlag2] + [0.01*PDOlag2] – [5.0*AODvolcanic] fits with an RMSE of 0.13 C which is only 0.03 higher than the Christy et al. 2003 assessed uncertainty of 0.10 C. The PDO contribution to the variation is 1/14 the contribution from AMO. Removing PDO, AMO, and ENSO from the model we get a best fit with 1.7 multiple on CO2. That means natural cycles are only contributing about 1/16 of the warming trend at least with this trivial 5 component model. If you want to me test other models let me know.

      • Richard M says:

        The PDO index is highly influenced by ENSO. Since we have non-neutral ENSO values about half the time, the PDO index is compromised during those periods.

        ENSO is almost entirely noise and as I indicated tends to mask the influence of real climate factors. A simple model is therefore not really possible.

        The real world is not always as simple as we would like.

    • Nate says:

      “All the warming occurred due to natural cycles which will now be trending more negative.”

      Uhh…. except PDO has been in down for awhile..nowhere to go but up.

      • Richard M says:

        I use the JMA PDO data.

        https://www.data.jma.go.jp/gmd/kaiyou/data/db/climate/pdo/pdo.txt

        It was positive 2014-2020. Only turned negative with the current La Nina. The PDO tends positive during El Nino events and negative during La Nina events. You need to see where it goes when ENSO is neutral. Still TBD.

      • AaronS says:

        Love JMA data. Like Toyota won’t go all in on EV because they don’t buy the hype part of the growth models and acknowledge ICE sales will persist for longer, JMA seems objective to me and able to see through the hype.

        PDO is a tricky beast because it depends on what filter or running average duration you apply to define it. You have to smooth out the El Nino in negative PDO phase and vice versa. Then I do believe there is a negative neutral and positive phase just like higher frequency El Nino.

        So it’s better suited for looking back because the smoothing window is so large.

        Similar to the low warming trend, there is a bit of cooling between major El Nino and the step up defines the warming. I think global cooling would be a longer plateau (extra few years) or a reduced step up. It will be subtle if global warming trend stops. If it does stop then CO2 is probably not linked to positive feedbacks and the forcing is reaching its maximum at 450ppm CO2 or so. Basically a new equilibrium with more clouds and a total of 1.5C total warming or so from CO2.

      • RLH says:

        “except PDO has been in down for awhile..nowhere to go but up.”

        Except for this month at least that is not true.

      • Nate says:

        Looks down low to me…

      • Nate says:

        Moderately negative in all sets since 2020.

      • Nate says:

        weakly negative 2017-2019. Strongly negative since 2020.

    • Bindidon says:

      ” … while the 2015-16 super El Nino hid the PDO phase change right before it. ”

      This is not the first time for me to suspect you to talk lots of superficial blah blah without being aware of the real situations.

      ENSO and PDO have the very same origin, as you can see with a comparison of PDO and MEI data:

      https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vo2LXFNMd1ripgz99FQc2Svxq01U8ahx/view

      The two may differ here and there, but their correlation is evident.

      When PDO changes phase, be sure ENSO does as well.

    I see some Solar scientists, the ones that predicted very high SC25, starting to signal the arrival of the Solar maximum already, this is only two month after I and Ren first called it,
    that is very surprising , I didnt expect them to come around so quickly.

  11. Ireneusz Palmowski says:

    Sorry, but the forecast of circulation during La Nia applies to summer circulation rather than winter circulation. Winter circulation in the Northern Hemisphere depends on the polar vortex pattern established in October. It is already known that the stratospheric polar vortex will be unstable and flattened over the Bering Sea. Winter in Europe may be warmer, but there is a likelihood of a sudden warming of the stratosphere. Since the solar wind is quite variable (jumping) the jet current will loop, so precipitation forecasts are highly uncertain, as in autumn.
    The polar vortex pattern indicates the possibility of cold fronts descending on the southern US in winter.

  12. Ireneusz Palmowski says:

    The surface temperature across the equatorial Pacific is 0.4 degrees C lower than the 1971-2000 average, and the temperature in the Nino 4 region is very low, foreshadowing a long La Nina. Certainly until the end of winter in the northern hemisphere.

    I know of a group that predicted a very high amplitude of the SC25, due to an incorrect calculation for the terminator of the last 22 year Hale cycle (and hence of the SC24): McIntosh et alii.

    https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11207-020-01723-y

    They reduced their prediction, which however still is around 190, way above many other predictions:

    We could see McIntosh & alii as kinda Zharkova’s counterpart, located at the opposite end of the prediction spectrum.

        He has deluded himself into believing that the SC25 ramp up ahead of the official prediction “Red Line” is sure indication that SC 25 will be much stronger than SC24.

        But when properly aligned you can see the two cycles run perfectly together, in practical sense you could hardly get any better fit than this .

        Does that count as someone who claims that SC25 will be lower than SC24, Eboy:

        A monthly smoothed maximum sunspot number of 62 is derived for Solar Cycle 25. This would probably be around 2025. This is almost down to Dalton Minimum levels.

        Given up on the GHE, have you?

        Maybe you realised that predicting GHE heating by dissecting four and a half billion years or so of global GHE cooling was likely to make you look deranged.

        What’s the latest? Peering into a crystal ball? Examining the entrails of dead animals? How about casting runes, or reading the Tarot cards?

        Or you could just believe the IPCC who stated that it is not possible to predict future climate states.

        Oh well, back to poring over your historical records.

        Interestingly NASA SC25 forecast straight from their website
        – The maximum of this next cycle measured in terms of sunspot number, a standard measure of solar activity level could be 30 to 50% lower than the most recent one.

        So NASA must have the strongest Heartland+GWPF love affair of all

        So Babble on, Babble on …….

      • Willard says:

        It’d be sad if PeterD did not exist:

        To be fair, some earlier forecasts had the next solar cycle being in similar magnitude to SC24. However, research now underway has apparently found a more reliable method to predict space weather. The maximum of this next cycle measured in terms of sunspot numbers, could be 30 to 50% lower than the most recent one solar cycle 24 according to the latest forecast. The results of this new forecasting technique show that the next solar cycle will start in 2020 and reach its maximum in 2025.

        Babble about educated guesses if you like, but then you might have to say that stock market crashes, military catastrophes, economic collapses all occurred because the future sellers were not educated enough!

        How educated does a climate scientist need to be, to predict that the GHE which caused four and a half billion years or so of cooling, is now going to cause the planet to warm?

        Even a 12 year old wouldn’t fall for that one. Gullible SkyDragon cultists, on the other hand, believe any nonsense served up to them – by a faker fraud, scofflaw and deadbeat, in the case of Michael Mann PhD.

    I am listening to Scott, but I don’t much patience.
    He says US has bad energy policy.
    Well US Dept Energy only gets 31.7 billion per year, what do you
    expect. I would expect if it got 1/2 as much, US might get
    a better policy. If not, at least you save few billion dollars per year.
    What would a good US energy policy?
    Well I have a question, can you mine oceanic Methane Hydrates.
    I don’t know how many decades, that has been a question.
    What the answer? Fusion energy has hopeless for a lot more
    decades of this question, and not being answered.
    One might say fusion has a better excuse, but at least they keep on saying, we have it, in the next decade.
    I don’t think anyone imagines, a government will be making cheap fusion energy. Not 10 year from now, or ever. rather whether governmental research can find a way to make happen for any amount time- and far from making cheap fusion energy.
    It’s similar to lunar water mining, we trying to determine if it’s mineable and NOT whether a government can mine lunar water.
    A government can’t mine any kind of methane- never mind whether it’s hundreds of meter below the ocean surface. Nor can mine gold or lunar water. Nor can a government make Fusion energy cheap.
    So, is ocean methane Hydrate mineable. And when and where.
    So, we have a bad US energy policy because we paid Dept of Energy too much money to do utterly nothing vague important.
    But Scott was probably going to talk about something, more insane, in regards to solar and wind and the preventive of nuclear energy use.

    Fusion vs Methane Hydrate which more important?
    If want some crazy monopoly on Energy, and cause global poverty- I would think Fusion energy is more important.
    But if want the world to weathier, less wars, and roughly a better world, I think Methane hydrate would be more important than Fusion energy.
    And in terms CO2 reduction, what have worked is better efficiency, nuclear, and natural gas use.
    Since governmental policy has opposed this and for other kind governmental policy [involving trillions dollar wasted make essentially toxic waste- the US government has only increased CO2 emissions. As has EU government policy said to be about reducing global CO2 emission, when it obviously is not.

    One could blame the global satellite market for making solar panels which they need for satellites. But in terms access to vast potential of usable energy- the space environment has endless potential.

    So, it seems US should be quicker at exploring the Moon and then exploring Mars- if a govt actually wants to do something related to lowering CO2, rather everyone else actually doing something about lowering CO2 emission.
    Or govt has chance of doing something, important. But it seem govt
    is running out time, to be significant players in space exploration.

    It could bad lesson for future, if it shown a govt can do something useful- so, good work NASA in delaying doing anything important.
    Thanks also goes to FAA. And every other part of US government.

    There was talk of greening of Sahara desert and I wanted an update,
    but I got this instead:
    “In the future, the Sahara and Sahelian regions could experience more rainfall than today as a result of climate change. Wetter periods, termed African humid periods, occurred in the past and witnessed a mesic landscape in place of todays hyperarid and semiarid environment. Such large past changes raise the question of whether the near future might hold in store similar environmental transformations, particularly in view of the growing human-induced climate, land-use, and land-cover changes.

    Who else thinks “the Sahara and Sahelian regions could experience more rainfall than today as a result of climate change.”

    Which doesn’t matter much if it takes 100 years or more, so the question is how soon will have much more noticeable effect.
    Or if at some point, say 10 years from now, if you do search, than one could something like, the Sahara has been greening a lot more, like 1 million square km.
    Or related question is, there are attempting to green the Sahelian regions, in 10 years, which will green more, human effort or nature?

      “This article will show an example of a positive effect of warming.
      The people living in the Sahel, a semiarid area just south of the Sahara desert, spanning the entire African continent from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea, were suffering from several devastating droughts and famines between the late 1960s and the early 1990s.
      The draughts were triggered by decreases in rainfall from the early 1950s to the mid-1980s.1 Global warming was supposed to increase the frequency and severity of the droughts, which would make crop-growing unviable and cause even worse famines.2 According to the
      United Nations, the outlook for the people in the Sahel was bleak.

      The Sahel is greening
      However in sharp contrast to this gloomy outlook, it seems that global warming has exactly the opposite effect on the Sahara and the Sahel. The Sahara is actually shrinking, with vegetation arising on land where there was nothing but sand and rocks before.”

        swannie….your question is dumb and worded like a gotcha.

        The red curve on Roy’s graph shows two sine-like waves back to back and as you know, the average is zero. That means we’ve had no warming since 2015.

        Yeah about same, expect neutron count went up
        which only thing I care about, Which could not imagine
        it going up- and it did.
        Maybe it’s temporary- and I don’t care about temporary
        as care about week or more time of it- +5 for more than a week
        will bump up space radiation effect on people. Though massive
        ejection of highish velocity particles is the more acute radiation
        problem, but that’s why you solar flare shelter in any ship
        with crew in it and crew might need to hold up in it for a day or so.
        Though if could know more precisely about about them, you could spend less time confined in this small space, waiting for dangerous time to pass.
        Why did it. It seems it’s the holes, wiki:
        “A coronal hole is a temporary region of relatively cool, less dense plasma in the solar corona where the Sun’s magnetic field extends into interplanetary space as an open field. Compared to the corona’s usual closed magnetic field that arches between regions of opposite magnetic polarity, the open magnetic field of a coronal hole allows solar wind to escape into space at a much quicker rate. This results in decreased temperature and density of the plasma at the site of a coronal hole as well as an increased speed in the average solar wind measured in interplanetary space.”
        Oh, yeah, I know what it is:
        OH SNAP! A MAGNETIC FILAMENT ERUPTS (UPDATED): Yesterday, Oct. 4th, a 200,000-km long filament of magnetism in the sun’s southern hemisphere erupted. Snapping like a rubber band, it hurled part of itself into space:”
        So these sending a lot particles {solar flare] but I probably not at same speed- so most will take days to get, but ones going a lot faster, have already arrived and increased the Neutron Count.
        So the high count should be for a brief period of time.
        So fastest could be 1/10th of light so 8 min times 10 = 80 mins
        and but 1/100th speed of light is probably high enough to cause a measurable of neutron counts.
        I would guess this +2.5% Elevated is less of issue to airline crew, ISS, and any crew going to Mars.

    The red curve on Roy’s graph shows two sine-like waves back to back, the average is zero starting at 2015. That means we’ve had no warming since 2015.

    There was a sudden and unexplained warming of about 0.25C in 2015 related to the super EN in 2016. Ignoring that, we’ve had no warming trend since 1998, some 24 years.

This is the net effect of the 60-year cycle starting to decline whilst the 934 year cycle is still rising. By 2014 the decline should be steeper and continue until at least 2027.

    WordPress claims this post is a duplicate but I cannot see the original. I searched for it using words pertinent to the post. I am posting in parts to see if that helps.

    ***

    rlh…”ENSO has not shifted in peak El Nino temperatures since 1878″.

    ***

    I am not arguing there is no underlying warming. Obviously EN peaks are built on a warming since 1850. However, a visual inspection of Roy’s graph shows no trend from 1998 onward. I am basing that on the assump.tion that the 0.25C warming in 2015 – 2016 is not global warming but an unexplained anomaly related to an extreme EN.

    Equally obvious, the research into ENSO, the PDO, and AMO, etc., is in its infancy. The PDO was not discovered till the 1990s, previously being called the Great Pacific Climate Shift due to a sudden up.tick in global temps of 0.2C in 1977 that no on has ever explained. It has not dissipated to date.

    • Gordon Robertson says:

      part 2…

      Odd that it posts in parts but does not show up as a complete post.

      These sudden up.ticks, including the one circa 2002, account for unexplained warming of at least 0.5C since 1977. I would not expect re-warming from the Little Ice Age to have a linear trend, so maybe these up.ticks are some sort of response to the overall re-warming.

      Besides the paper by Tsonis et al that equated global warming/cooling to ocean oscillations like those listed above,the study has never been replicated, to my knowledge. I am willing to bet no one can get funded for such a study.

  29. Gordon Robertson says:

    swannie…”Gordo, your comment is structured as though you were trolling. Of course, the average of a sine wave is zero. But, what does that have to do with ENSO and global temperatures, which have been demonstrated to be warming for decades? As grammie pup noted, your sudden and unexplained warming is the result of the strong El Nino in 2016″.

    ***

    I am referring to the step warming of about 0.25C circa 2015. I get it that the EM temporarily drove global temps up nearly 1C, but the process left a residual of 0.25C, which is unexplained. Then the trend flattened at abut 0.25C for 6 years.

    You cannot include that step warming as part of a 4 decade trend. Not a linear trend with such discontinuities in it.

    • E. Swanson says:

      Gordo’s trolling again. Where does he find his “step warming of about 0.25C circa 2015”. Such a jump does not appear in the UAH LT data. Perhaps he is thinking of the 2016 spike from El Nino that year, but who knows what’s in his brain?

      • Gordon Robertson says:

        swannie…look at the previous 18 years on Roy’s graph going back to 1998. In 2015, the series rose above the baseline and should have returned to the baseline following the 2016 EN.

        It didn’t, rather it settled out with a new flat trend about 0.25C above the baseline. Why??? CO2 could not produce such a warming in a year?

        Same thing happened after the 1998 EN.

    –The linear warming trend since January, 1979 still stands at +0.13 C/decade–

    And:
    “The New Pause Lengthens to 8 Years”

    So when will it decrease to +0.12 or go back up to +0.14 C/decade?

    Does seem like decreasing to +0.12 at least in the short term is
    more likely?

    Even if Europe burns down it’s forest due to their bad policies, that Global CO2 will increase much nor global CO2 levels going to rise much.
    Not that CO2 levels have had any significant effect.
    What seems to me which is having an effect is our cold ocean which
    has average temperature of 3.5 C.

    If our ocean average temperature was .5 C warmer, or ocean was 4 C
    that would have an effect.

    It seems to me that if ocean was 4 C there would a large increase in global average temperature.
    And it seems global CO2 levels would be much higher.

    NASA and NOAA both think that more than 90% of all warming effect from rising CO2 levels is warming our cold ocean.

    But our ocean is much bigger than most imagine and it take a very long time to increase it’s average temperature.

    I tend to think it possible humans will living on Mars before the ocean warms by .1 C

    • gbaikie says:

      I have been thinking it would be possible to live in a warmer environment on Mars, then anyone is now living in.

      This of course is quite easy if we find lots of underground area
      on Mars- and this is certainly possible.
      But I think if find mineable water on Mars this could be better way
      to live in warmer environment.
      Now, Martians might not want live in environment warmer than Earth is- and would be easier. But recently I have been wondering how one could live is warmer environment.

      Mars has lot water- in terms of what 1 million Martians could need but it the amount that matters, it’s costs make the water available
      to use.
      Or we could say there is shortage of fresh water on Earth, but what meant is there is shortage of cheap enough fresh water.
      And cheap enough is about $3 per cubic meter of water.

      And for mineable water on Mars, the cost has to be about $1000 per cubic meter of water or it better if cheaper, that about as high as one could pay for water on Mars. Or as I usually say $1 per kg of water. Or use larger volumes, the US uses about 600 billion cubic meter of water per year. So, one say how much, how much per million cubic meter of water, which is less than $1 billion dollars per million cubic meter, is what would call mineable Mars water.
      By the mineable water in regards to the Moon, is about $500 per kg
      or less. Or with larger amounts, 500 billion dollar for a million cubic meter of water.
      But lunar water has this high value, because the water would be to make rocket fuel. And it’s incorrect to talk such high volumes of water in regards to the Moon for number of reason. One reason is if one make lunar rocket fuel you significantly lower the cost to go to the Moon. and there the cost to mine lunar water lowers significantly. Instead you could say the first, 10,000 cubic meter
      of lunar water could be around as high as $500,000 per cubic meter
      which is 5 billion dollar, but next 10,000 could 1/2 the price and
      by time you mined a million cubic meter it’s 1/10th the price or $50 per kg.
      So if go to Mars and only mine, 10,000 cubic meter of water you going to cause the water to be more expensive, instead you have thinking
      in terms 1 million cubic meter of water per year, and better if you mine 1 billion cubic meter of water per year.
      So if spent $1 billion dollar in order to get to point of mining 1 billion cubic meters per year within a period of time of few year,
      you could be making money.
      This comparable to mining water in the Sahara desert:
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nubian_Sandstone_Aquifer_System
      “The Great Man-made River Project (GMMR) in Libya makes use of the system, extracting substantial amounts of water from this aquifer, removing an estimated 2.4 km3 of fresh water for consumption and agriculture per year.”
      Or 2.4 billion cubic meter of water per year.

      • gbaikie says:

        So if living in a lake on Mars and water temperature is 20 C, that as
        warm as living on Earth. But lake was 30 C, that would be warmer than Earth.
        30 C water has much higher water vapor pressure than 20 C water- so
        it’s hard to do.
        But I think some people might like it better.
        So one could 10 C lake, and people could live with that, and 20 C
        lake might be warm enough for most people, but some people might prefer a 30 C lake. I don’t think anyone wants a lake as warm as
        40 C [though lots people want a spot where the water is like a hot tub- but that is different than in living in it}.

        And it seems to me that water partial pressure is same on Mars as on Earth.
        And wiki gives a chart:
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapour_pressure_of_water
        So: 20 C is 0.0231 Atm and 30 is 0.0419 Atm
        And as a reference, Mars average surface pressure is 0.095 psi
        0.0231 Atm is 0.33957 psi at 20 C and 30 C at 0.0419 Atm is 0.61593 psi or 0.33957 vs 0.61593 psi

        In terms of weight, Mars weight, is less. But in term of force or
        psi it’s same [pounds per square inch of force}.
        Or you need more than 4 feet ice on Mars to equal the force of 0.61593 psi. Though you could use cable attached anchor into the ground to provide the force- I rather, not, but could use some cables
        in various places.
        And as said, Mars water has to cheap, regardless if you want to live in a lake. Or if living in a cave and I assume you growing food, you need Mars water to be $1 per kg or less, to live on Mars.
        And you also need electrical power power to only costs about 10 times the cost as on Earth. But over time, one needs to lower Mars water and power prices. Or within 50 years, you should be able to hope for Mars water and power to be cheaper than Earth’s price

      Despite beginning this decade almost wholly with La Nina, the average for the 2020s so far is +0.226, compared to the 2010s average of +0.121.

      The linear trend is +0.134 per decade. Given that it is written to 2dp, it has to rise 9 times as far to drop to 0.12 as it has to rise to reach 0.14.

      Even if the next 15 months (taking us to the end of 2023) were all zeros, the linear trend would stay at +0.13, and the 2020s average would stay ahead of the 2010s average.

      • Antonin Qwerty says:

        Heads up – we won’t go close to getting a month of -0.4. The forecasts are all for a third straight low-end moderate La Nina, and a short-lived one at that. The last month to reach -0.4 was Jan 2000, in the middle of a strong La Nina. The next bunch were in 1991-93 as a result of Pinatubo. Then 1989, another strong La Nina. The last one not explainable by a strong La Nina or VEI6 eruption was in 1986.

        You talk about always being wrong, yet over that time you have continually been saying what WILL happen, but other than the expected response to La Nina it has never eventuated. Given that individual months are not predicted when dealing with climate, the only one who has been wrong so far is you.

        How about you actually commit – what will be the average of the next 20 ENSO-neutral months (allowing for the 5-month lag at the start and end in determining whether a month is ENSO-neutral), assuming no VEI6 (or tropical VEI5) eruption?

        So, when you think we return to .014 C per decade?

        –You talk about always being wrong, yet over that time you have continually been saying what WILL happen, but other than the expected response to La Nina it has never eventuated. Given that individual months are not predicted when dealing with climate, the only one who has been wrong so far is you.–

        I sort of, would liked to have predicted this famously long La Nina,
        but I didn’t.
        But I did say, or “predicted” that La Nina over in term causes global warming. Which I might be wrong about, but I don’t think so.

        I also imagined that La Nina would cause more hurricanes- and obviously, that was wrong. Maybe the lack of hurricanes because it was sort a long duration.
        But if predicted it would have been just a lucky guess.
        I don’t know how to predict a La Nina, which not saying anything
        because no one can.
        But rather I don’t even try to predict them, but many try to do this. Or thought it was quite safe to predict La Nino is associated with more hurricane activity in the Atlantic.
        But now, I have learned to be more uncertain about such assumptions.

        or I think La Nina both warms entire ocean and allows more sunlight energy to be absorbed.
        I think anything which warms the average temperature of our 3.5 C

        Most people interested in climate, think 15 years is too short of time period. They like 30 years.
        I think 30 year is far too short of time period in regards to global climate temperature.
        My view is quite simple we are recovering or have recovered from the Little Ice Age. We have been in 5000 year cooling period,
        This long term trend will continue.
        I also have a wild idea [which isn’t that wild] that our cold ocean will not allow high CO2 levels.
        And what might be a more crazy idea, I think China has reached Peak Coal.
        So, US didn’t reach Peak anything, but China and other countries have reached Peak Coal- France did it, about century ago.

        End of LIA vs Modern warming – what causes you to make your assumption about which is the cause and which is the effect?

        The purpose of mentioning the trend was simply to show that there is no evidence for a slowdown in warming. Consider that done.

        Nevertheless, it is interesting that you demand an extended period to judge an acceleration of warming, yet you lot assert that a couple of years’ slowdown due to La Nina is evidence for a cooling trend. You people seem to have a problem with consistency in your arguments.

        Anyway, your comment suggests that you don’t believe in the proposed climate effects of the proposed “GSM”, so that is one positive.

        I don’t know what caused the cooling of LIA.
        But would say LIA lasted for a long time, and some people think it lasted a shorter time.
        I think it would be important [scientifically] to get better idea of what exactly caused it.
        I am aware various ideas but I would not count them as theories.
        But there number ideas and they about the intense amount volcanic activity [there is idea it matters what rock in involved] and solar activity but they are ideas/clues {which could or probably, wrong}.

        There isn’t even “you people” who believe the global warming is problem that we should waste trillion dollars ineffectively doing anything to reduce CO2 levels.

        It should be obvious to anyone reading my comment that it was not the cause of the LIA that I was talking about, but the cause of ITS END.

        I asked you why you believe that the end of the LIA caused the current warming, as opposed to increased greenhouse warming causing the end of the LIA.

        Did “the pause” last as long as 30 years? If not, shouldn’t your previous argument cause you to disregard this as “evidence”? See what I mean by inconsistency?

        “It should be obvious to anyone reading my comment that it was not the cause of the LIA that I was talking about, but the cause of ITS END.”
        It’s generally agreed that the end of the LIA was 1850 AD.
        So, this generally means something prior to 1850 AD ended it.
        And generally regarded that it was about 50 years earlier than 1850 AD.
        Of course just because “everyone agrees”, doesn’t make it true.
        But I accept this, unless I can find some evidence which disagrees with it. So little agreement on when it started, lots of agreement on the time it ended- or that exact date is commonly given.
        Now, some people argue that AGW in terms environmental changes, but LIA was not first cold period which there was recovery from.
        Or LIA is largely important because it so recent- or it should easier to determine what was the cause. But generally it’s considered due to natural variability, and ideas about less volcanic eruption and changes in the sun’s activity.
        But we know what happenned, massive retreat of temperate glaciers, globally. And there was fair amount interest and lots of studying of glaciers at that time.
        But more important to me, is ocean became a bit colder and sea levels fell during this time.
        I probably had it bookmarked, but that was years ago and many unrecovered hard drives ago. Assuming internet doesn’t forget, it’s out there somewhere. Going give a try. I didn’t find what remembered but here is other stuff:

        “I asked you why you believe that the end of the LIA caused the current warming, as opposed to increased greenhouse warming causing the end of the LIA.”

        No one know how much warming is caused by rising CO2 levels there seems to be a focus on the time after 1950. IPCC said there were very confident it was more that .2 C
        But there endless pages IPCC reports to read if want more opinions about it.
        It’s my opinion if they thought it was important they would make it a lot easier for billions of people to read it.

        **There is most definitely you people. This blog site was set up specifically to cater to you people.**

    SpaceX launched 4 crew to ISS, and starlink group of satellites which was 45th SpaceX launch this years. Musk said he would do 1 per week and done 1 per week. Musk also said could up 60 launches this years, looks like could get 59 if scheduled launches successful launch and are on time. Or looks falcon-9 launch to the moon has been delayed into next year. Or since is issue payload not ready, maybe SpaceX will find another customer or launch more Starlink satellites by the end of year, but just 59 launches is a crazy amount rocket launches in a year.
    But what the world is waiting for is the first Starship launch and I suppose what Musk wants is a year in which 10 starships are successfully launched. Which will again mark a crazy amount of Saturn V class rockets launching in a year. And once that happen, we get more crazy with 100 starship launches in the year, the then Starship launch every day, and big dream of 3 starship launches per day: [+1000 per year]. Which could happen in next 5 to 10 years.
    Or there will be problems- really hard problems which take a long time to resolve, or worst fundamental problem requiring basically a different rocket development.
    Or similar fundamental problem, there could be significant improvement in the starship- such as using titanium rather than stainless steel or using carbon fiber [which musk was going to do, but rejected the plan, as was too expensive- at least in terms of the development of this radical and fundamentally different, rocket.

      But it seems everyone doing Methane rockets, now. And there no doubt in my mind that Methane rocket for the first stage is better than LH2 engine first stage, But I would say that about the second stage rocket. Or I think New Glenn should be methane first stage and LH2 on second stage- but you roughly can use same engines. Not unforeseeable that SpaceX with use LH2 in it’s second stage, but probably not right away, or Starship most launches will be to LEO and wants fill the second stage more hundred satellite [200 or 300??} and LH2 takes up more volume. And another thing is Starship second stage is a first stage on the Moon or Mars. Or since Starship is basically a “space shuttle to Mars” it might never use LH2 in it’s second stage [unless second stage is made of titanium or carbon fiber].
      Or I would say the era of using LH2 first stage rockets, is over.
      Like India has one, I expect it to be altered to Methane, also.

    So to sum it up, Scott say we all belong in prison AND
    Drug users should be in separate civilization.

    Which is new thought to me, I think we should have better prisons.
    Now you might say if we had better prisons more people would commit
    crimes to go to prison. But you need to commit crime to go prison
    you could simply ask to in prison, and if not there for crime, you can later ask to let out of prison.
    It should not be too hard to make prisons more enjoyable.

    You of course know where this going, right?
    No, not have the prison on Mars.
    That is completely wrong.
    Instead prison could be an ocean settlement.
    So, prisoners could live on a beach- and go surfing or
    fishing or just kick back on a sandy beach.

    Of course the obvious issue, is what do you do if prisoners
    don’t want other prisoners in their prison.
    It’s not as though criminals get along with each other.
    Well, it seems, you need a “normal prison” at the ocean settlement which are guarded by other prisoners. So, one criminal can easily
    cause another criminal to go to prison for say 1 month- even criminal
    in prison can cause a prison guard to go prison for a month. Though if one chose to be in the ocean settlement prison, it’s easy to put
    them in prison, but they decide to leave whole ocean settlement prison. So non criminal in prison can put in jail, but decide they just leave this ocean settlement [and never come back, unless do their time in it’s prison. And of course one have more than one ocean settlement prison which also has it’s own jail. So person who wants
    to be prison can effectively be kicked out one, and decide to go to another ocean settlement prison.
    And ocean settlement prisons, can send someone to jail for longer time than 1 month, but it wouldn’t easy, you have to have trial and be able to appeal the ruling and etc. So can have capital punishment, but capital punishment could like how it is done now, it could go all the way to supreme court. But there no reason to make jail in the prison, not nice. Say can’t go surfing as much- a lot better than current prisons.
    But these are prisons- you have to stay in the ocean settlement, but if you are “good prisoner” you earn the right to move to another
    ocean settlement prison. Or criminals don’t choose their ocean settlement prison, unless earn that right to choose. Maybe they have
    friends in another prison. And prisons you sent to, are male or female. And prisons you can choose can be male and female prisons, and such male and female prison can put you into male or female prisons- in terms going jail by other prisoner putting you in jail.
    And you have ocean settlement for people who want to take drugs.
    And after serving time, and if a “good prisoner”, you could work and drug ocean settlements- because drug users are probably not very capable doing stuff which needs to done. Of course anyone could decide to work in prison or drug settlement or instead deciding to be in prison, you decide to do work in these ocean settlements.
    And anyone in prison could decide to “get a job” and make money- assuming they can find the work.

    And this is roughly like a low income ocean settlement, but such people own their real estate property and are not prisoners.
    Probably start with low income ocean settlement, because need people who are smarter to live in “new environment” with various problems to solve- as with Mars settlements, but with Mars you need people who are lot smarter [or lot people will be killed due to too much stupidity] maybe later, drug users could live in Space.

    From Wikipedia (a web site discredited by most Pseudoskeptics but to which they endlessly refer to when it fits their narrative):

    In 2009, John P. Abraham criticized Monckton’s claims in a lecture at Bethel University, and Monckton filed disciplinary charges alleging academic dishonesty against Abraham.

    The University of St Thomas’s lawyers wrote to Monckton that

    ‘The University of St Thomas respects your right to disagree with Professor Abraham, just as the University respects Professor Abraham’s right to disagree with you. What we object to are your personal attacks against Father Dease, and Professor Abraham, your inflammatory language, and your decision to disparage Professor Abraham, Father Dease, and The University of St Thomas.

    The latter was in response to an interview in which Monckton characterized Abraham as ‘a wretched little man’, the university’s president Dease as ‘a creep’, and the University of St. Thomas as ‘a half-assed Catholic bible college’. ”

        would never happen.

        Your last comment not only avoids dealing with that it is barely coherent.

        The US and other countries have managed to stabilise or lower their emissions over the last few years. Other countries have risen. Point is, neither you nor anyone else knows the trajectory of global CO2 emissions over the next 80 years.

        None of the IPCC projections see global temp rise of 5C by the end of this century.

      Biden very certainly won’t start any nuclear war.

      The only one who will do that because it will be his very last option to appear as the winner of his newest aggression against Ukraine: that’s Putin of course, and I’m sure you know that.

      We can be happy in Europe that the US – under Biden’s government – help Ukraine against this woeful Russian war, because the US have much more industrial and military power than all European states taken together.

      All what we here recall concerning the Trumping boy’s words about Putin’s aggression was, soon after it began: ‘Putin is genial!’.

        When Bindiclown realized his epic La Nina forecasting fail he tried to spin it into some kind of dispute how strong it was going to be , something that nobody even argued about ,
        Only problem , he decleared La Nina to be over and tried to compare it as a small one to the previous ones long before it ended , he is in for some surprise ,

        it turns out he lost even to his own strawman argument , that takes some doing,

      • RLH says:

        Just because you don’t like the presentation does not make the data wrong in any way.

        The data and the graph shows exactly what meiv2 says.

      • RLH says:

        Composed in exactly the same way as all the other climate series of course.

      • Mark B says:

        RLH says: Just because you dont like the presentation does not make the data wrong in any way.

        Your “S-G projection” is a quadratic extrapolation of data that you and everyone else agrees has cyclic properties. The central projection to something on the order of -1.7 C for your alleged “5 year low pass” curve is really unlikely.

      • RLH says:

        The maths is what it is. The S-G is effectively an OLS extension of the data beyond that of the CTRM reach. It shows, both high and low, what is the likely range of the CTRM is going forward.

        Are you disputing S-G? If so, that would indeed be a claim worth making in detail.

      • Mark B says:

        RLH says: Are you disputing S-G? If so, that would indeed be a claim worth making in detail.

        I’m saying it’s not a great choice for extrapolating the ends of a time series with cyclic characteristics. As above, it’s essentially fitting a quadratic to something that clearly isn’t well modeled as quadratic.

      • RLH says:

        S-G is not based on a quadratic. It is based on an OLS straight line.

      • Mark B says:

        RLH says: S-G is not based on a quadratic. It is based on an OLS straight line.

        It’s based on local fitting using a polynomial of “order N”. An order 1 fit would be a straight line, but you’re using an order 2 polynomial and one could use higher order polynomials.

      • RLH says:

        “Its based on local fitting using a polynomial of ‘order N'”

        “This is achieved, in a process known as convolution, by fitting successive sub-sets of adjacent data points with a low-degree polynomial by the method of linear least squares”

        The degree in this case is order 2. So not order N at all.

      • RLH says:

        If you want to see how S-G progresses then see the diagram in

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savitzky%E2%80%93Golay_filter

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savitzky%E2%80%93Golay_filter#/media/File:Lissage_sg3_anim.gif

        which shows a higher order than 2 being used. The effect that I am using is that shown in effect by the red line. The circles are what the CTRMs plot.

        instead.

      • RLH says:

        “(apart from this ‘S-G projection’ which is a stupid manipulation:”

        So S-G, by showing what is most possibly going to happen, is a manipulation. Blinyy outdoes himself as usual.

      • RLH says:

        “Furthermore, your intentional omission of the lines connecting the time-series data points makes your running averages seem like the only way to represent a time-based structure within a set of points lacking exactly that structure.”

        Making up lines that are not supported by any data is a much better way according to Blinny. Quelle Surprise.

      • Bindidon says:

        ” Making up lines that are not supported by any data… ”

        This is so stubborn, so opinionated.

        Linsley Hood seems to know it better than the rest of the world.

        Nobody on earth – except for a few know-it-alls like you – would be interested in representing a time series as an unstructured set of points that looks like it was generated by a random number generator, and of which nobody can understand what actually is behind.

        I repeat, Linsley Hood: the only reason for you to keep the time series invisible is that all people can focus 100% on your “work” and think that this is a sine qua non for understanding the whole.

        Duh.

      • RLH says:

        “This is so stubborn, so opinionated”

        No, this is factual as everybody else knows. There is no data on the points that make up the lines except at the ends.

      • Nate says:

        “So S-G, by showing what is most possibly going to happen”

        I agree with Mark b, most improbable.

        The MEI also seems to be overestimating the significance of the current La Nina.

        It is not close to the strength of the 2011-12 one.

      • RLH says:

        So you disagree with meiv2 but do not give any details on how it is wrong.

      • RLH says:

        “I agree with Mark b, most improbable”

        You do understand how S-G works don’t you. It is an OLS trend over shorter and shorter timescales as it reaches the end of its data. I have allowed for that in this graph by extending the uncertainty as it gets closer to the end.

        The CTRM figures cannot be in dispute as they are just simple averages (with very limited in band distortions – see VP).

      • Nate says:

        “So you disagree with meiv2 but do not give any details on how it is wrong.”

        The MEI has several inputs that are not SST.

        The current La Nina is weak/moderate, although long in duration. But its effects on global temperature has been weak, while the 2010-12 La Nina was strong and its effect on global T was strong.

        The current MEI seems to be close to that of Fall 2010. While in Fall 2010, the Nino 3.4 was -1.6, the current Nino 3.4 is -0.85.

        https://origin.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/ensostuff/ONI_v5.php

      • RLH says:

        “The MEI has several inputs that are not SST”

        I (and everybody else knows that see meive2 page – “The bi-monthly Multivariate El Nio/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) index (MEI.v2) is the time series of the leading combined Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) of five different variables (sea level pressure (SLP), sea surface temperature (SST), zonal and meridional components of the surface wind, and outgoing longwave radiation (OLR)) over the tropical Pacific basin (30S-30N and 100E-70W)”)

        So which of the above values is it that is causing the dip?

      • Nate says:

        “You do understand how S-G works dont you.”

        I do. It is a probabilistic extrapolation based solely on data of the last few months, but it has no input from the understanding of ENSO dynamics.

        It is like using the local weather data of the last few weeks and extrapolating thru November, while not considering the expected seasonal cooling.

        It doesnt contain ENSO specific probabilities based on an understanding of how ENSO works and has historically behaved.

        That extra information shows your predictions to be unlikely.

        https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/90day/tools/briefing/unger.pri.php

      • RLH says:

        “It is a probabilistic extrapolation based solely on data of the last few months”

        What has an OLS to do with extrapolation? S-G uses a short term OLS to create a series of points of how CTRMs are likely to extend. If more future data is higher than the average/center going forward then then actual trend of CTRMs will be towards the high end. If it is lower, then it will be towards the low end. No magic needed or used.

      • Nate says:

        Did you miss the point? It does not consider ENSO dynamics at all. It does not account for ENSO model predictions.

      • Nate says:

        “So which of the above values is it that is causing the dip?”

        You tell me. Why are mei and Nino3.4 so different now?

      • RLH says:

        You’re the one calling meiv2 into question, not me.

      • RLH says:

        “Why are mei and Nino3.4 so different now?”

        They are not different. Both show a cooling currently.

      • Nate says:

        “Youre the one calling meiv2 into question, not me.”

        Im saying MEI and nino3.4 SST are giving different assessment of the strength of the La Nina at the moment.

        You favor MEI calling the La Nina strong.

        But the effect of ENSO on Global T must be more directly related to SST, which has been weak-moderate, and is predicted to continue at that level and finally dissipate in Jan-Feb.

      • RLH says:

        “Im saying MEI and nino3.4 SST are giving different assessment of the strength of the La Nina at the moment”

        So which do you favor and importantly why?

      • Nate says:

        Most of the time MEI seems fine.

        But as I stated : “Global T must be more directly related to SST, which has been weak-moderate”.

        And again, your SG projection (is it for 12m or 5 y?) is showing MEI reaching levels BELOW the 2010-11 level. This is physically unlikely given the known behavior of ENSO.

        Recall 2010-11 La Nina:

        “The 20102012 La Nia event was one of the strongest on record. It caused Australia to experience its wettest September on record in 2010, and its second-wettest year on record in 2010.[2] It also led to an unusual intensification of the Leeuwin Current,[3] the 2010 Pakistan floods, the 20102011 Queensland floods, and the 2011 East Africa drought. It also helped keep the average global temperature below recent trends, leading to 2011 tying with 1997 for the 14th-warmest year on record.”

      • Mark B says:

        Nate says: . . . the 2010 Pakistan floods . . .

        Not sure this one helps the argument. 🙂

      • Nate says:

        Yep. That one.

      • Nate says:

        The severe 2010-11 flooding in Australia apparently showed up in sea level.

    Since a few seasons I post a chart showing UAH6.0’s monthly data for superposed years and reference periods as absolute temperatures instead of anomalies wrt the current reference period.

    I didn’t update the chart since last February and was a bit surprised when looking at the now updated 2022 plot:

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FYbNtCu0-FUyCHzjYgR3UXeNrskjkzDY/view

    because of the absolute July value, surprisingly bypassing that of 2016.

    And indeed, the top10 of a descending sort of the July months in the absolute time series shows

    1998 7 265.797
    2022 7 265.773
    2020 7 265.723
    2016 7 265.673
    2019 7 265.667
    2021 7 265.618
    2010 7 265.615
    2018 7 265.587
    2017 7 265.581
    2002 7 265.519

    Only July 1998 (which is, in absolute data, the highest value of the time series) kept above July 2022, which is followed by 2020, coming even before 2016.

    All 7 years starting with 2016 are in the top10.

    I didn’t expect that, to say the least.

    Maybe e.g. Mark B or MrZ could have some idle time to confirm or infirm this.

  41. gbaikie says:

    I guess I will explain global climate. This explains pretty well:
    “Throughout Earth’s climate history (Paleoclimate) its climate has fluctuated between two primary states: greenhouse and icehouse Earth. Both climate states last for millions of years and should not be confused with glacial and interglacial periods, which occur as alternate phases within an icehouse period and tend to last less than 1 million years. There are five known Icehouse periods in Earth’s climate history, which are known as the Huronian, Cryogenian, Andean-Saharan, Late Paleozoic, and Late Cenozoic glaciations.”
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_and_icehouse_Earth

    And we in icehouse period.
    It does describe greenhouse global climate:
    A “greenhouse Earth” is a period during which no continental glaciers exist anywhere on the planet.Additionally, the levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (such as water vapor and methane) are high, and sea surface temperatures (SSTs) range from 28 C (82.4 F) in the tropics to 0 C (32 F) in the polar regions. Earth has been in a greenhouse state for about 85% of its history.”

    We are certainly not in greenhouse global climate, rather we been in
    last of five: the Late Cenozoic glaciations and have been for 33.9 million years and the last couple millions of the Late Cenozoic Ice Age have been coldest time of the Ice Age we have been in.
    And the temperatures given for a Greenhouse Climate, as in: 28 C in tropics and 0 C in polar regions don’t really do much to describe
    greenhouse global climate.
    If paying attention, one might notice the tropics is about the same temperature as our tropics is presently. But most people reading that might easily miss that.
    The tropics in general do not change much whether it’s ice house global climate or greenhouse global climates and what changes a lot is the polar regions and region near the polar regions temperatures.
    And 0 C in polar region might not mean much. As compared to saying the sea level temperature within the polar region “never” drop below 0 C. Which a lot different than the world we a living in. But it can be 1 C at sea level and well below freezing 1000 meter higher than than sea level. Or one could certainly have snow in the polar region- unless polar region has no higher elevations within it.
    And since our warm tropics, has glaciers, a Greenhouse Global Climate could likewise have tropical glaciers [at higher elevations].
    Or said differently, long, long ago, in times when Earth had the highest average temperatures [far higher than 15 C] one could still go skiing. You might even have better skiing than you have, now, in the coldest time in last many tens of millions of years.
    A greenhouse global climate main difference is the global temperature is far more uniform. The night times and the winters are much warmer.
    And global water vapor is twice as much as we have now- about same in tropics, but much higher in 60% of the rest of the world.

    And all this is caused because the average temperature of the ocean is not cold.

    Oops: Renewable Energy Costs Shut Down Solar Cell Manufacturing in Europe
    https://wattsupwiththat.com/2022/10/08/oops-renewable-energy-costs-shut-down-solar-cell-manufacturing-in-europe/
    “Essay by Eric Worrall

    First published on JoNova; Despite green claims renewables are the cheapest form of power, renewable manufacturers are struggling to survive Europes soaring energy prices.”

    “The obvious question, if renewables are so cheap, why dont these plants relocate to a large plot of land, disconnect from the grid, and power their manufacturing facilities from their own low cost renewable energy products?

    Seems an obvious solution but for some reason renewable manufacturers seem to be choosing to shutter their plants, rather than switching to consuming their own product.”
    https://wattsupwiththat.com/2022/10/08/oops-renewable-energy-costs-shut-down-solar-cell-manufacturing-in-europe/

    Btw price of Coal in China has lowered a bit:
    https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/coal
    To $385 per US ton but my original price point of China Peak was $300 or more and it’s been that high for last 7 months

    • Bindidon says:

      No one needs to buy all that wind and solar power stuff in China.

      But all do.

      Reminds me France 2 1/2 years ago: the government asked many French manufacturers to produce FFP2 masks.

      As these then became mandatory, all concerned instances bought Chinese products due to laws enforcing them to buy products as cheap as possible.

      And the French manufacturers were left with millions of masks.

      The Russian invasion war against Ukraine of course is, from the point of view of the available primary energy sources, nothing really good for Europe.

      But it will enforce the European nations to get rid of fossil fuel over the long term.

      How is it possible to produce electricity by burning browncoal in 2022? And by the way destroying dozens of localities just because that bullshit lies below them?

      How is it possible to build an economy upon natural gas sold by a fundamentally dictatorial country like Russia?

    Artificial Gravity is Critical for Mars Exploration & Beyond – SpaceX Starship can make this happen!
    Marcus House

    I was thinking it wouldn’t get to the stick artificial gravity station but near the end, it did. But didn’t call a stick.
    The problem with that stick is the nuclear power.
    I see no reason to use nuclear rockets- and the nuclear part of
    it, costs a lot money, whereas a stick artificial gravity could be
    very cheap.
    The nuclear power stick is a very old idea and reason for it was make
    a large distance between crew and nuclear reactor. 🙂
    And the artificial gravity was more of an after thought.

    It’s also weird, because the common claim about nuclear rockets is
    they get to Mars in 60 days. Or if one do it in 60 days, mirogravity and space radiation is not really a problem.
    Anyhow I share Marcus’ “surprise” that we have not done this yet.
    But didn’t like all the other weird and unnecessary other ideas about artificial gravity space stations. Donuts.
    I think what we have to test is what is the shortest stick needed for Mars gravity- which “could be” done with two dragon and some rope- if the space capsules are less 10 tons, the rope doesn’t need to be that strong

      How much sulphuric acid is on Venus?
      https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/8002/how-much-sulphuric-acid-is-on-venus
      [[To be more specific with the question. 20 ppm of water means 9.61015 kg H2O in total (Venus’ atmosphere’s mass is 4.81020 kg). Is there less or more sulphuric acid?]]
      Answer:
      Assuming 80% of H2SO4 in these droplets gives a total of about
      9.10^13 kg H2SO4.
      Thus the total amount of water in the atmosphere of Venus would be: 5.910^15 kg.

      So Less acid than water.
      And it seems less clouds than Earth.
      But it could rain more on Venus even though there is less clouds.
      Couldn’t it be the more heating the more raining?
      So intense sunlight [heating] and you could fast addition of water to
      acid [more heating] and droplet gets to big and it falls.
      But if could be like hail, falls, but lifted up, and falls again, and again, and some point falls into deep hot atmosphere and “explodes”?
      So only in the tropics does it get intense sunlight.
      Hail is rare on Earth.
      But Venus is like Earth, one get most the sunlight in the tropics.
      Though with Venus you might a lot more sunlight in Tropics as compared to Earth.
      With Earth it doesn’t rain much if you exclude the tropics. With Venus maybe more 90% of raining [which never hits the ground] occurs in Tropical area of Venus.
      Does more intense sunlight make it rain more, or rain less.
      Let’s make prediction if rains more [or lot!] in tropical daytime
      the clouds should look denser. And night clouds will be more uniform and less dense.

      What about opposite? It rains very little. Why would it rain very little?
      I am saying above it rains little because happenning in small area of the planet. So opposite is acually it rains very little in the Venus tropics [within 30 degrees north and south of where sun is at zenith] during the daytime.
      And if rains more somewhere why does it rain. So global wind, will race away from the sun and it cross past sunset [past across terminator line] and it might dump the most amount when this happens.
      Or we have the general question why does it rain- though that it rains at all, does not seem certain.
      In our tropics rain occurs like clockwork, Venus might more like desert, it has raining seasons and has droughts. So rains on Venus it’s more related to a freak event.

    PayPal was successfully launched by your Space X idol Elon Musk.

    • gbaikie says:

      There were quite few involved, but Musk one of most well known,
      I think another guy involved was interested at one point in ocean settlements- it seemed to me, that it was mostly related to political reasons. Thiel? Yeah, Thiel Capital. Peter Thiel.
      “PayPal went public on 15 February 2002 and was sold to eBay for $1.5 billion in October of that year. Thiel remained CEO of the company until the sale. His 3.7% stake in the company was worth $55 million at the time of acquisition.” He was the main guy. But lots young turks were involved.
      I think it was that money that Elon Musk almost went bankrupt with trying make the Falcon 1 work.

      • gbaikie says:

        Speaking of Russia, Musk wanted to put a greenhouse on Mars. He went to Russia, to get cheap launch {Russia and China were the cheapest launch providers at the time} but the rocket was too expensive, so Musk decided to make rockets.
        Putting greenhouse on Mars, was good idea. But I think putting an artificial gravity “thing” in orbit, would and still is a better idea. I would lengthen the Falcon-9 second stage, and use it as a stick artificial gravity station which might do up to Mars gravity.
        So, first try 1/10th and then 1/6th [Moon] and then work up to Mars
        gravity. A 1/10th of Earth has never been done. And Mars gravity is needed if thinking of doing settlements on Mars.
        NASA could pay for it, but Musk could do it without NASA being involved. It dollar value is mostly a PR thing. And Musk wants SpaceX
        to train astronauts [it’s doing it now] and it something crew could “train on”. Plus, you refuel the second stage, and after training in LEO, fly it anywhere- Venus, Mars, Earth high orbit.

      • gbaikie says:

        With station you could use, “cubes” of water for radiation protection- they do it with ISS.
        But I was just wondering if you can make “cubes” of LOX. Or cube of Kerosene is easy. But can make them for cryogenic liquids [LOX, Liquid Methane, even Liquid Hydrogen]. Since you making gravity- you use hoses to transfer rocket fuel. Or you could make bunch of metal boxes/tanks.
        Anyhow with station and thinking store water cubes, and install after
        crew dock with it in orbit. And could bring up more cubes of water to add more shielding. But you could do something like this with LOX- not for shielding but refueling.

        Very little wind at moment
        All spots northern, these “fake” spots going
        to farside, maybe it go spotless- southern is spotless
        and was were most spots where happen.
        Is normal that south and north to take turns?
        Looks like a solar max except for Neutron Counts which high
        levels of GCR for any crew going to Mars.
        It has been a solar max to travel to Mars, yet.
        The next 1/2 of month could be slow- so sideways is
        possible

        Nobody is going to Mars

      • gbaikie says:

        Nobody is going to Mars, now.
        Just robotic missions, now and for decades.
        Nobody is going to Moon, now.
        First some robot, then land crew on Moon and
        then people go to Mars.
        It seems to me, we should test living in artificial Mars
        gravity before we sent people to Mars.
        It also seems we could/should find a way to Mars faster.
        It is claimed nuclear rockets can get to Mars in 60 days,
        I don’t believe we can make nuclear rockets to send crew to
        Mars in 60 days. And I don’t like nuclear rockets.
        I think US military likes nuclear rockets. US military could
        even have nuclear rockets [because they classify it] But if
        military wants nuclear they build them and cease selling the idea
        that NASA should build them. NASA can’t build chemical rockets- unless you count SLS as building a rocket- decades late, tens of billion dollar over budget. But nevertheless I would want NASA to launch SLS which might happen before the end of year. I gave it 70%
        chance of that happening but now it seems there is less chance- maybe 60% of getting to point of lift off before end of year.
        I think there 40% chance Starship gets a lift off before Nov- Musk say trying before end Oct but probably take to Nov.
        It seems need static fire with 33 engines, highest so far is 7 engine static fire. Some say next will be 20 engine static fire.
        Getting 33 engine seems difficult.
        If remember correctly highest number of rockets fired by rocket was a russian rocket and it was 30 and it failed, badly. Though Falcon Heavy has 3 first stage rocket which do, 9 times 3, 27 engine which should be the highest number rockets firing and successful getting to orbit. SpaceX going to launch a couple falcon Heavy for US military before end of year. One might say, SpaceX are the experts on multiple rocket engine firing.
        I guess Falcon Heavy must have done 27 static fire, but I don’t remember it. I should look that up. But I got to go.

      • gbaikie says:

        So looked and couple times, but this is interesting:

        SpaceX used to conduct static fire tests before every launch, but not anymore. Why is that?

        https://www.elonx.net/spacex-used-to-conduct-static-fire-tests-before-every-launch-but-not-anymore-why-is-that/

        Used to do them with payloads on the rocket- and still will, sometimes.
        So, it seems only one which can determine whether Starship does 33 engine fire, would be SpaceX.
        Because SpaceX tests the Raptor engine, an insane amount of times- individually, on test stands.
        And they are only ones which really know the test results.
        So, it appears they will do more static fires and the may go up to 20 or more. And they may do 33 engines. But if 33 engines do you it with the payload?
        It seems they might launch with 1/2 the satellite payload. If doing it with 1/2 payload, you might not need 33 engines. As wild guess, you might need 18. So test fire 18 without payload, test fire 18 with payload, and then launch, use 18, and try to use up 33 engines after you left the pad. Depending how it goes, but you increase the payload
        until you doing Max payload. But more important then the amount payload and getting to point of reusing the first stage, and next, reusing second stage.

        Well is slow moving CME slowing down the solar wind??
        If so it could CME is like a dam and we should high density so.

        While this is partly correct, as you are a proponent of global cooling ‘theories’, and some commenters therefore appreciate what you write (but only about that stuff), there are luckily other people reading and posting on this blog, who disagree with what you think and write, and whose intelligence is far above your low ‘ass’ level.

        2. Concerning this ‘fake chart’ accusation, I remind you that you never managed to prove it, e.g. by showing what is wrong in the chart, or, even better, by posting a link to the same chart you finally became able to show a corrected version of.

        The average planet surface temperature is about 3.5 C which doesn’t change by .1 C within hundred years.
        If talking about global air surface and particularly the daytime high average temperature [which was somehow magically measured accurately- which isn’t happening] can change by about .5 C [or 1 F] in a day.

        We living in 33.9 million year ice age, it’s temperature has cooled
        over the 10 of millions of years by about 3 C and global average surface air temperature has cooled by about 8 C and recently has have periods of thousands of years which have cooled by about as much as 16 C.

        You’ll notice rapid oscillations nearly that much in the period before that drop, and on other occasions.

        Eben, your incredulity of what you think cannot happen is noted. But its not an argument, is it..

      • RLH says:

        So what is your explanation for the -0.5c downwards step offset? It has held at that negative level (with small oscillations) for more than a few months now.

      • Nate says:

        Again. Why do I need an explanation for observed data that YOU feel is incredible.

        First you need to explain why such a change cannot happen.

      • RLH says:

        Nothing is impossible, apparently. A step change of 0.5c falls into that description, apparently.

      • Nate says:

        It takes real talent in logic to go from 0.5C/week is possible, to therefore anything is possible!

    • Mark B says:

      That graph is computed from reanalysis data whose principle utility is in near term forecasting. It isn’t really intended for use as a long-term climate analysis tool and one must be careful interpreting it in that context. It is interesting to look at in the general sense because it has frequent updates (every 6 hours) so one can get a feel for how a particular month is progressing long before the monthly datasets like UAH come out.

      If the surface datasets Had, GISS, NOAA, etc differ from the reanalysis, it’s probably some oddity in the reanalysis.

      • Bindidon says:

        The best would be to generate the same daily data out of another source, e.g. GHCN daily.

        But I use GHCN daily only to generate monthly data, but rawer than GHCN V4, BEST, NOAA or similar.

      • RLH says:

        So, your response is that reanalysis data has at best an inaccuracy of +-0.5c. Useful to know that.

  57. Mark B says:

    Indeed, one could produce a daily temperature series for a more direct comparison and it might well turn out that the alleged shift is “real”.

    The bigger point is that the reanalysis data and processing is not guaranteed to be homogeneous and/or to undergo identical processing for the full time series.

    Though the two plots show similar things (global daily data since September 2021), they differ considerably:

    – the GHCN plot is based solely on land station data, and thus does not reflect oceanic inertia;
    – it is made out of raw, ungridded data, as opposed to CFSR’s reanalysis data;
    – the reference period is 2001-2020 instead of 1979-2000.

    The global average of all absolute temperatures measured by over 15,000 stations every day goes down and down while the 20-year baseline moves up and up; the addition of the two results in an big anomaly drop of over 10 C!

    Conclusio: if raw raw data shows such discontinuities, what then is the reason to doubt about reanalysis data?

    *
    N.B. The absolute average temperatures are mainly due to the extreme dominance of US station data and the lack of gridding.

      None of this corresponds to the -0.5c continuous downwards shift in the reanalysis data, only that the global temperatures can vary by that amount.

  61. RLH says:

    Show me where on the above graph from 2014 onwards that a similar step change has happened.

  62. Bindidon says:

    Another nice little step change in global (monthly) temperature data…

    Anomaly averages in the ungridded data

    – 2001-2012: +0.38 C
    – 2013-2022: -0.53 C

    The blue plot, however is merely a statistical artifact, because it shows a combination of about 9,000 US stations located within about 10 Mio km^2, with nearly the same number of stations outside the US, but located within… about 140 Mio km^2.

    Thus, the blue plot represents something like the Globe as kinda US’ backyard.

    Distributing all station data over e.g. a 2.5 degree grid (like that of UAH) and averaging the grid cell data prior to computing the monthly averages, gives the red plot.

    Anomaly averages in the gridded data

    – 2001-2012: -0.01 C
    – 2013-2022: +0.01 C

    In the blue plot, 9,000 US stations compete with 9,000 stations outside of the US; in the red plot, 220 US grid cells compete with 2,000 cells outside.

    –By Eric Ralph
    Posted on October 20, 2022

    In 15 hours, SpaceX has rolled a new Starship to its South Texas launch and test facilities, reassembled the worlds largest rocket, launched Starlink satellites to orbit, and recovered a reused Falcon 9 booster in port.–
    https://www.teslarati.com/spacex-starship-rollout-starship-stack-starlink-launch-13-hours/

    So SpaceX has launched 48 rockets in 2022, and probably end up launching around 60 in 2022 [not including any Starship test launches]. Starlink which is suppose to serve rural areas in US which has low internet speeds, is providing faster internet for many countries in Europe. Northern Japan are now allowed to use it, South Korea will soon be allowed and it thought India will allowed within a year or two. As of Sept 22 there about 700,000 users, I would guess there will be about million by the end of the year. And there another starlink launch before the end of year. But starlink will really take off, if Starship successfully launches it’s test launch- which might happen next week. Though it might take another month.
    If it does take another month, there will probably be, 3 Starship ready for launch. Right now, roughly there two “ready” to launch but they have be tested first. Probably around Monday next week they will have wet rehearsal- test everything other than the engines firing. And if goes well, next is the static engine firing, and then the launch.
    Anyhow, Musk predicted he might get 60 launches, and chance of that happening are pretty good. He said maybe before Nov, they launch starship, if not, early Nov. It seems if every goes as planned, and nothing much is learned from test launch, we might see 1 or 2 additional Starship launches this year. But it more likely a lot will learned and it could take to 2023 before the second launch is tried.
    In terms SLS launch- I have not heard of anything encouraging about it, so going to say at best 50% chance it launches as planned.
    So, there is chance neither SlS or Starship launches in 2022, probably less than 50% both launch in 2022, better than 50% chance
    one of them launches.
    And weather can easily delay both or either of them. SLS would be more effected by weather. SLS has to launch at certain launch window, Starship doesn’t- weather could delay Starship by a week or two, weather could delay SLS by months.

    • gbaikie says:

      I am getting more organized, I bookmarked weather in boca chica- and for KSC. Anyhow weather in Boca Chica doesn’t look bad, but not great, either.
      Weather where I living looks cold- so cold it could kill my dwarf lemon, so must remember to bring the little sucker in. I forgot once and it looked completely dead and didn’t recover fully- I would guess no lemons from it for at a year or two- assuming I don’t forget to bring the sucker in and it just dies.
      Tonite it just gets down to the global average temperature of 59 F,
      tommorrow is suppose to drop to 49 F, and Monday it’s forecasted for 37 F. And stay near freezing [at night] for rest of week.
      37 F might not kill it, but it could be a wrong forecast and/or it’s just not good for the little bugger- which is not far from death’s door. But I am not going worry about tonight.
      Also it seems tropical storm Roslyn which is far away, but seems to get a bit stronger. And there is probably small chance it might become a hurricane and even effect my weather and “somehow” Boca Chica weather. And there is chance of tropical/hurricane starting in the Atlantic:
      https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/?atlc
      Which far away from anything- maybe Canada or Europe.

        It seems to switch back and forth from

        Maybe get spotless during the time it switches- and

        or later on they don’t grow, but rather fade, until

    • gbaikie says:

      Anyways, I have not had enough coffee, yet.
      Recently I have thinking of how to launch the BFR
      also called Starship, with my crazy thing I call a pipelauncher.
      A pipelauncher is an enormous pipe and the top being capped- and
      holds air in it, and floats vertically in the ocean.
      Since they are large diameter, they have to very strong and not
      have a lot mass. So very strong and light, and in the corrosive ocean- one should have it made of titanium.
      But I thought one might start with a strong aluminum alloy- the same alloy used by Falcon-9. Which imagine would survive the ocean for
      a few years [titanium should last for decades- but it’s expensive and
      it’s heavier than aluminum. Or titanium is good, if want heat resistance and it lasted a long time in the marine environment].
      I was thinking it would be nice to get out of the Age of Steel and
      into Age of Titanium, but like aluminum which was very expensive, titanium is currently too expensive. But since the space environment
      could have cheap electricity in say about 2 decades- that could start the Age of Titanium. So cars, and flying cars, made of titanium, dropped from space into your driveway- sort of thing.
      Anyhow the pipelauncher to launch BFR, is a bit more complicated than a large pipe. I had make what call a staged pipelauncher to handle something as big as BFR. Though that is mostly about using less liquid air. Liquid Oxygen or Nitrogen or both: liquid air turns into gaseous air very quickly if dump into water [or the surface of the ocean]- but works better if warmer water, so also hot water as hot water you get from hot water tank you use to wash dishes and take shower from- or not boiling water, hot. So around 80 C- though could be 100 C though it also be 20 C. It could be 110 C, but I assume about 80 C is good enough.
      So, with big diameter pipe, and could call the 9 meter diameter starship, not very big pipe, 9 meter diameter can handle air pressure higher than 100 psig but requires a very strong pipe or thick walled pipe for larger diameters.
      Starship 9 meter diameter can handle more than 100 psig- but it’s not very big.
      Most people would say something 9 meters [or 29.5 feet] is as big as house- suggesting it is quite big. I call it a big pipe in terms of making ocean breakwaters, but not very big if lifting a rocket [particularly if lifting the launch pad and launch tower, also].
      Anyhow, the 5000 ton BFR, is challenging, but adding to a tower which weigh as much or more, is annoying/frustrating.
      Or this isn’t adding much speed, but a kind of want around 100 mph added. It should be noted that pipelauncher must add some speed, but say 50 mph is enough {and easier].
      But what wanted to mention is that anything launching from the ocean
      should or maybe must have a breakwater.
      Or before trying to use pipelauncher to lift BFR, I thought one would
      use floating breakwaters.
      Musk plan is to launch from an oil platform- something designed to operate in open ocean. And didn’t think a pipelauncher or oil platform “needed” a breakwater, but thinking that now.
      I was thinking you would- mainly I was thinking about people living/staying there would want or need it.
      I do know hundreds people do live on oil platforms.
      People can deal with small amounts motion, but can 120 meter tall rocket handle small motions.
      So I was wonder what is limit and trying to make it so it was the least, and thinking what size waves does need to designed to deal with in order to launch a rocket.
      Spent hours thinking this, then realized, my other crazy hobby is breakwater, and with breakwater not worried about 10 feet waves.
      So don’t design it so it can handle, say 3 foot wave, but rather do the friggin obvious and put it within breakwater, where waves are not a inch high- unless it’s weather so bad you would never launch in it anywhere.

      • gbaikie says:

        So, my claim is oil platforms need floating breakwater in order to launch a Starship rocket from.
        Ok so there different types of oil platforms:
        https://www.treehugger.com/types-of-offshore-oil-rigs-4864111

        They list 6 types. And one type is sort of like a pipelauncher- which is called Spar Platform:
        “Named after the tall, vertical “spar” (aka mast) of a sailing ship, spar-platform rigs use a single, wide-diameter cylinder to support a surface deck from the sea floor. A typical spar platform in the Gulf of Mexico has a 130-foot-wide cylinder, and about 90 percent of its overall structure is hidden underwater. Spar cylinders are available at depths up to 3,000 feet, but existing technology can extend this to about 10,000 feet, making them one of the deepest-drilling types of offshore rigs in use.”
        Though it’s description seems to suggest having them go down to
        the ocean floor, and/or I see no reason to make them 3000 to 10,000 feet [914.4 to 3048 meters] tall. Btw 130 foot = 39.624 meter
        The pipelauncher for BFR had wide top deck of 22 meter [72 foot] but main tallest part of pipelauncher part was 13 meters [42.65 feet] in diameter and 200 meter tall. Or pipelauncher is spar or spar buoy type thing.
        And they “work” kind of like a keel of sailing boat/ship.
        [And as I sometimes like to say, based on 1000 year old technology.]

        So, another one is called, Jack-Up Rig. Which sits on bottom of ocean. I would say a Jack-Up Rig might not need breakwaters. But a number of Jack-Up Rigs have been destroyed by hurricanes- but there
        lots old and different types of Jack-Up Rigs. And I would say it depends on ocean depth. They are: “For smaller, shallower offshore oil deposits that don’t warrant a permanent platform, or for drilling exploratory wells,” Or if in the right amount of “shallow water” they might be stable enough.
        But in regards Spacex oil platforms
        “The ENSCO 8500 series are semi-submersible rigs. What this means is that they dont sit on the bottom of the ocean like a drilling platform (which sits atop a tower) or a jack up (which has extendable legs to sit on the sea floor). They differ from drilling ships in that they sit on pontoons that are pushed under the water, below the waves, which gives them greater stability. Theyre often anchored to the sea floor with a cable to keep them in roughly the same place and stay coupled to the wellhead, but in some cases they stay put with thrusters or a combination of the two.”
        https://cleantechnica.com/2021/01/21/more-about-spacexs-oil-rigs/
        I think ENSCO 8500 series needs floating breakwaters.

        Well, generally agree, “W/m^2 of sunlight in the UK is not going to make much difference”

        I have a host of reasons it would not make any difference.
        Or someone saying that makes wonder if they understand things as I do.

        3131 has come around from farside and it is not small
        and might grow larger.
        So, no small chance of spotless any time soon.
        It seems Oct will be sideways, but is it the lull
        before the storm,
        It seems unlike Oct, Nov could start off slow and build,
        and that rather than sideway, Nov has a bit uptick and then
        builds in coming months?
        Oh what do these guys say:
        “Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
        24 October – 19 November 2022

        Solar activity is expected to be low or very low levels throughout

        (R1-R1 Minor-Moderate) on 27 Oct – 10 Nov due to active regions with

        disk. ”

    I have a plan to throw Starship like a lawn dart with a pipelauncher

    No reasonable rocket engineer would like it.

    What might be overly excessive is to launch it from freshwater lake
    in the ocean.

        So floating mechazilla wasn’t hard.
        I would note that catching a rocket on ocean is different
        than on land- obviously failure means a wet rocket.
        I have had 1/2 cup of coffee, so far.
        But launching a lake still seems excessive.
        But getting more idea of launching within breakwater
        area, might be something to spend some time on.
        And should think about a breakwater for oil platform,
        because no one is crazy enough to do pipelauncher
        at time soon.
        Though another possibly is focusing only on pipelauncher
        which appear less crazy.
        Also weather in Boca Chica last nite appears very bad,
        today, it seems there is less forecast of thunderstorms.
        It was constant thunderstorms and now it’s less than 1/2:
        ttps://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/Boca+Chica+TX+USTX1783:1:US
        Or seemed just bad for next 10 days on 10 day forecast, and now, it’s just not very good.
        Oh there 70% chance of tropical storm in Atlantic:
        https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/?atlc
        And on my side the Cat 4 is long gone and nothing else going on.
        My forecast is just more cold, but no freezing. It close to freezing last nite and brought lemon tree in.
        Anyhow could try pipelauncher for something smaller than Starship
        or breakwater for oil platform that will launch Starship.
        hmm.

    Goldman Sachs Jeff Currie: $3.8 Trillion of Investment in Renewables Moved Fossil Fuels from 82% to 81% of Overall Energy Consumption in 10 Years

    Economist Jeff Currie of Goldman Sachs (Global Head of Commodities Research in the Global Investment Research Division): Heres a stat for you, as of January of this year. At the end of last year, overall, fossil fuels represented 81 percent of overall energy consumption. Ten years ago, they were at 82. So though, all of that investment in renewables, youre talking about 3.8 trillion, let me repeat that $3.8 trillion of investment in renewables moved fossil fuel consumption from 82 to 81 percent, of the overall energy consumption. But you know, given the recent events and whats happened with the loss of gas and replacing it with coal, that number is likely above 82. The net of it is clearly we havent made any progress.

      An estimate of the societal costs of nuclear energy in GERMANY (not: worldwide), including, since 1955

      – research
      – development
      – processing, maintenance
      – search for appropriate final storage places for highly contaminated waste

      but excluding

      – dismantling of decommissioned plants
      – vitrification of waste (from rods and highly contaminated plant parts, such as reactor kernels and primary cooling systems)
      – final waste disposal

      made on the basis of all available documents, gives in the sum:

      1 trillion Euro.

      Study made by Greenpeace (the German nuclear industry refused several times to do the job).

      *
      This sum is very low compared with the nuclear situation in France, because our neighbour has in addition to process dismantling and waste disposal of

      – two preprocessing sites (conversion of yellow cake into UF6, enrichment to obtain 3.5% U235);
      – two reprocessing sites to obtain Pu239 (and U235 not subject to fission yet) out of used fuel rods: La Hague and Marcoule, the latter one incredibly contaminated due to the early military context).

      *
      Hmmmh.

      My gut feeling: the costs of the switch to more renewables will NEVER reach those FINALLY generated by the nuclear industry.

      *
      One reason for my feeling, gbaikie, is as follows.

      During the 1970’s, France started planning and realization of a 4th generation plant (Superphenix in Creys-Malville, 1.2 GW, based on liquid sodium cooling).

      Their naive idea was to produce Pu239 out of blankets containing non-fissile U238 (byproduct of U235 enrichment) by neutron shot occurring during fission processes.

      After 20 years of huge problems everywhere (but especially in the primary cooling system (5,500 tons of extremely dangerous liquid sodium continuously kept at 850 C) and 10 billion Euro invested, it was decided in 1997 to definitely shutdown the plant, and to start dismantling at some ‘appropriate’ moment.

      The cost of the complete dismantling was guesstimated in 1977 at 300 million francs (less than 50 million euros).

      The dismantling started in 2007, with a new guesstimate of… 1.5 billion, and was planned to end in 2027.

      The 1.5 billion has already been used up for 10 years and the end is now planned for the late 2030s.

      Maybe you understand now…

      • gbaikie says:

        “made on the basis of all available documents, gives in the sum:

        1 trillion Euro.”
        Today’s dollars {or today’s Euro’s] or what cost at time of construction and time of maintenance and refuel. Also and/or does it including borrowing costs.
        But roughly it doesn’t seem like “unexpected”.
        Whereas the cost of over 40 billion dollar for SLS development, surprised me, I thought it was 20 to 30 billion. But maybe they are including improved upper stage, which wasn’t allowing for. Or maybe they are even allowing for that. Any way you look at it, SLS was a big mistake, but I hope they launch the damn thing.
        In terms of nuclear we need to at least get to South Korea nuclear power program cost. Which is only stellar, in comparison to US, France and all other nuclear energy programs.
        But it seems we should do better than what South Korea did.
        If can’t match South Korea- hire South Korea.
        But that is sort of a joke, even a cruel joke- the problem is political and not actually an technical issue.

      • gbaikie says:

        Though political is also issue with solar and wind, also.
        But without the political solar can’t work in Germany, also unless you just talking about residential solar water heating- which something done a lot in Germany- and I guess supported with government money- which btw is not done in the US.

        You don’t have a bit of an idea of what happens in Germany.

        What concerns solar for example: nearly every medium company has solar panels on its roof, and the amount of private houses increases similarly since 20 years.

        No sun? And? Switch to gas, fuel, public electricity net.
        Sun? Back to the local production.

        That’s all, the rest is simple-minded polemics.

        You dont have a bit of an idea of what happens in Germany.–

        Germany is geographical location which gets about 1/4 the amount of solar energy reaching it. Spain is slightly better. UK as bad as Germany.

        In terms of global climate, the tropics [40% of earth surface] receives more than 1/2 of the sunlight reaching earth’s surface- and it’s cloudy] the 60% receives less than 1/2.
        At and near polar region, one gets very little sunlight. Germany is near the polar region.
        Canada is also lousy place to harvest solar energy. As is the northern US. The rainy State of Washington is about as bad as UK.
        Most of China is also bad, as is Japan. India is 1/3 the size of China, land prices are high- real estate in general is a mess. Not good for solar or wind.

        Well. I think there can some agreement about France ambitious effort
        at reprocessing nuclear fuel. In hindsight it looks like US took the better course- of course US wasted unknown amounts of tens of billions of dollars on an equally crazy idea of idea storing it in a mountain- which came to absolutely nothing. And part of that madness was safely transporting the nuclear waste.
        Which I guess is also issue France reprocessing nuclear waste- and they are importing it [and I am not sure which nations they have decided NOT to import it from].

        This is roughly my problem with nuclear, anything. Fusion, nuclear rockets, etc. Government has to be deeply involved with it.

        And for instance I want the Moon to be mined- BUT NOT by NASA.
        NASA seems to imagine it can build rocket cheaply and that it somehow it imagines, it can mine water {which hard to do] or that it could mine anything, at all, is utterly crazy.
        With space there is little reason for government to involved much with space nuclear power plants. Or government involved significantly with mining space rocks, makes more sense than nuclear reactor on the Moon- and Moon is a good place to impact nuclear waste {which would be very bad idea to do on Earth]. Said differently a nuclear meltdown on lunar surface is not much of a worry- other than losing the the valuable reactor.
        Of course nuclear reactors in Earth orbit, is a bad idea. L-1 or L-2 would be, ok, but medium or low orbit- forget about it. Of course nuclear rockets would be in Low Earth orbit.

      • gbaikie says:

        Anyhow, what Germany can do or can not do, does not much matter much globally, it is a small population which is declining.
        Nuclear in terms major source electrical power for rest of world is
        unlikely to be large portion of energy mix- unless mass produced like UK is attempting to do, but even then it’s unlikely to be 40% or more.
        Though if it was 30% it would still be huge amount.
        Instead it seems most of electrical power in the future will using natural gas.
        But in the time frame of +50 years it’s possible that more 1/2 of electrical needed globally could be from space environment.

        And in 100 years, Earth energy use could small fraction of human energy use.

    spots in both but pretty weak.
    Though if this was a normal solar max, it wouldn’t be getting anywhere near to very active part of solar max. Or to say it somewhat like cycle 24, is close enough to what it’s doing. And including the high Neutron Counts {I believe}.

    It has not been much of hurricane season, which would tend to make think it might be colder, but I have been colder, and usually means warmer, I guess it will down a bit, going guess. .05 C
    which some people might imagine is a lot.

    • gbaikie says:

      Just to be clear: +0.05 C

      • gbaikie says:

        Rats, September was +0.24 C and October will be +0.05 C
        is my guess.

        Or one might think I meant +0.24 C minus +0.05 C {= +0.19 C} or you could I thought I meant -0.05 C.
        Finally, I believe that is clear enough- though I am probably way wrong- and prefer when I am wrong- because maybe I learn something and it’s amusing when people say I am wrong, when they didn’t even try to guess. But if they guess right, it’s also fun.

      Not even close to spotless, but with average 90 and a week to go, it might still drop to around 85, which would be a perfect sideways move,

        No or few spotless in Nov?
        As I said, the I think it could pickup in second 1/2 of Nov.
        And if that happen Dec could be like 24, lots of month around 125 spots. But also like 24 lots months dropping near 50.

    “The dismantling of at least one wind turbine at the wind farm close to the German coal mine Garzweiler, operated by energy giant RWE, has already started. RWE says that lignite, or brown coal, has been mined from the Garzweiler coalfields for over 100 years.

    RWE also said at the end of September that three of its lignite-fired coal units that were previously on standby would return to the electricity market on schedule in October.”

        If you review history, Trump gave Ukraine weapons to defend themselves- unlike Obama.
        Trump also spend a lot money to build up US military stockpile, which means Biden could hand out weapons- if he wanted to.
        Trump also insisted NATO members spend more on military- which also could be useful, now.

    Meteorite that smashed into Mars shook planet

    “The image is impressive, showing blocks of ice that were spewed up onto the planet’s surface around the 492-foot (150-meter) wide and 70-foot (21-meter) deep hole.”

    It seems like a lot water from a shallow hole in the Mars tropics.
    More signs that Mars could have mineable. But you would need to drill
    to depth where there is liquid water [which might quite deep at this site]. Though maybe collecting boulder of ice on the surface from an impactor could be mining Mars water

    “And though meteorite impacts on Mars are not rare, “we never thought we’d see anything that big,” Ingrid Daubar, who works on the InSight and MRO missions, told reporters at a press conference Thursday.

    Researchers estimate that the meteorite itself would have measured between 16 to 39 feet across. An object of that size would have disintegrated in Earth’s atmosphere before falling to the ground here. ”

    I would expect 16 feet across would be monthly thing with Mars and much smaller rocks are going to impact mars surface on a weekly basis and making much smaller craters. Though something as large 39 feet is rarer- years.

    Think how exciting and fun it will be, if people were going to live on Mars.
    Having NASA go to Mars would be somewhat exciting and fun, but it would a lot better if people were going to live on Mars.
    Elon Musks saying one reason to have settlements on Mars {which he says are self sustainable] is needed- at least at some point in time, and his view the sooner the better, but it’s effect upon humankind is more important.
    What exciting about NASA exploring Mars with crew exploration, is largely hopefully about a government doing anything, other the normal oppression and causing wars.
    About the only thing a government has done, which had any value was landing in the Moon. Though reason the US government did it, was related to winning the cold war. It was PR and it was cheap way to win the cold war. Compared to cost of warfare, it was dirt cheap.
    They a number things a government could do which wasn’t evil- it could determine how mine methane hydrates in the ocean.
    But that not happening. Less useful would be determining if fusion energy can work. Again, not happening.
    It seems in terms of government doing anything useful [starting a global pandemic not useful, nor was lockdown and preventing children to go to school], the US govt is having most progress with exploring the Moon. One has to give NASA credit for subsiding SpaceX- you might saying they were “pushed into” doing it [with a fair amount of kicking and screaming], but they did it.
    And NASA is subsidizing Starship, because Musk decided the Starship could be regarded as lunar lander for crew, and cheap one compared to any other proposed crew lunar landers.

    I don’t agree that Mars could actually be self sustainable. I will say Mars fans have focused on Mars being self sustainable, but I don’t think any nation on Earth can be “self sustainable”.
    And I think Mars would be “dependent” on Venus orbit. And Venus orbit is dependent on Mars, Earth/moon and space rocks.
    And it’s possible that Venus orbit could have trillion people living in it.
    But it depends on unknown things.
    Mars settlements also depend on unknown things.
    So, first, we have explore the Moon and if NASA can do this fairly easy thing, then explore Mars.

    Someone guessed correctly:
    The New Pause Lengthens to 8 years 1 Month
    https://wattsupwiththat.com/2022/11/03/the-new-pause-lengthens-to-8-years-1-month/

    “The trend on the entire dataset during the 527 months from December 1978 to October 2022 is 0.59 C, equivalent to a modest and beneficial 1.34 C/century: [Our graph]
    If global warming were to continue at 0.134 C/decade for 77 years to the turn of the next century, there would be just 1 C more global warming this century. Is that a crisis, emergency, catastrophe, cataclysm or apocalypse? No. It is a good thing.”

    It would be a good thing. But it seems unlikely we will be that fortunate.
    I think we finished recovering from the Little Ice Age and the trend will lessen. And we got 1/2 of doubling CO2 and don’t think our cold ocean will allow another 1/2. And the largest CO2 emitter is China and it’s already reached peak coal.
    And even if China find more, their population is declining.

    Still think it could pick up by mid Nov, but
    maybe get few spotless days before it

      I don’t think it’s going to pick much anytime soon.
      It hasn’t been a good time to having crew going to
      Mars.
      Let’s look at actual windows to Mars:
      2022.6033 8 7 2022 leaving Earth on simple hohmann
      arriving:
      2023.3120 4 22 2023
      That window has past, and about 2 years before another
      I mentioned another way**, via Venus:
      2023.3779 5 16 2023
      From Earth to Venus
      I don’t enough about these orbital things but
      if not doing a simple, one might able leave before May 2023
      and maybe it’s after, but it seems one get to Venus orbit before:
      2023.7779 10 10 2023
      And from Venus leave to Mars:
      2024.0427 1 15 2024
      and get there to Mars before:
      2024.6381 8 20 2024
      So, one return within short period to Earth
      2024.5561 7 20 2024
      So have get mars a month or two ahead of the time it takes with
      simple
      **https://www.thespacereview.com/article/4467/1
      But other that crazy, 2024 somewhere summer
      Which of course NASA will not do- it’s is not planned to have crew on Moon before 2025. But someone could possibly do it in 2023 or 2024- but they were that crazy, GCR would the least of worry.
      So leaves fall of 2026 as Earth to Mars {or via Venus] as next window. Which everyone would agree is tail end of cycle Max 25
      Anyhow it’s possible we don’t have Solar Grand Minimum, and NASA plans of +2030 doesn’t have the Solar Grand Minimum issue.
      Or fast Mars and/or having enough shielding.
      But going to Mars will depend in many ways what on found on the Moon.
      And in terms of Moon- you want quiet sun.
