According to the boffins who collect this data (as in actual measurements, not model predictions), the global average lower tropospheric temperature anomaly for February, 2022 was 0.00°C above the long-term average from 1991 – 2020. Averages in climate work are taken over a 30-year timespan to distinguish them from

John Maunder The ‘Maunder Minimum’ is the name given to the period from 1645 to 1715 when the number of sunspots – ‘storms’ on the sun – became almost zero. The period is named after the solar astronomer Edward Walter Maunder (1851-1928), who was working at The Royal Observatory at Greenwich when
After 40+ years of doomcasting and fear-mongering about Global Warming, we find that, compared to the 1979-2000 average, the temperature of the Southern Hemisphere has increased by a frightening 0.0°C as at 17 February 2022. Run for the hills!
John Maunder The chart below shows that since 1979, when reliable satellite observations became available, there has been an overall warming trend in the average tropospheric temperatures, apart from, at times, milder temperatures since about 1999, but with three significant warm periods associated with the El Nino events in 1998,
