You can never be sure what assumptions may have been made by Climate Scientists programming their computer models to overheat.

Briefly.

Over most of the Holocene, natural temperature changes have led changes. In CO2.

Since the latter 1800s artificial CO2 changes have led changes in temperature.

Ok,one more try.

Forcings are external changes which change global temperature. Feedbacks amplify or reduce that temperature change.

Consider a natural example. 20,000 years ago orbital changes began which gradually increased the temperature of the Northern Hemisphere by about1.2C over 10,000 years. Warmer oceans and thawing ndra released enough CO2 to increase the concentration from 200ppm to 280ppm.

Thae etxra CO2 acted as a feedback, raising the total temperature change to 5C.

This is typical of most, but not all, natural climate changes. A forced temperature change is amplified by a CO2 feedback.

(Note to TinyCO2. This is known as the Holocene Climatic Optimum because it was warmest, not because it was best.)

Occasionally this is reversed. A rapid natural increase in CO2, usually volcanic, is the forcing and increased temperature is the response.

This is what is happening today. An artificial increase in CO2 from 280ppm to 405ppm is forcing an increase in temperature.

Maurizio points out there is some kind of idiot test going on today
with people saying stuff like
"Yeh thisgay cake ruling means you can be mean to Jews and refuse to sell them a Bar Mitzvah cake"
.... Doh, what do they think the rules are about Bar Mitzvah cakes ?
..what is the one type of place you can buy them ?

and .... BBC tech failure means they play back recordings for an hour and few noticed ?

The mad world of the climate-obsessed:

"Caution urged over use of 'carbon unicorns' to limit warming
By Matt McGrath
Environment correspondent, Incheon, South Korea"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-45742191

"Climate scientists meeting in Korea are being urged to avoid relying on untested technologies as a way of keeping global temperature rise under 1.5C.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will shortly publish a report on how the world might stay below this limit.

Early drafts said it would require machines to suck carbon out of the air.

The ideas are unrealistic, said one expert, calling them "carbon unicorns".

...The IPCC report is expected to mention a number of approaches that range from planting more trees, to direct air capture of CO2, to bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS).

The latter involves growing large amounts of plants that capture CO2, and then burning them for energy while capturing and storing the gas that is emitted.

This has long been a controversial approach - requiring huge amounts of land to grow crops for burning. Previous research calculated an area twice the size of India would be needed to help the world stay under 2C of warming this century.

"It sounds crazy, and it is crazy," said Dr Glen Peters, a climate researcher at the Centre for International Climate and Environmental Research in Oslo, Norway.

"But this may be the only way to keep temperatures well below 2C.

"I struggle to see how the world can remove billions of tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere for decades, but if we want 1.5C then we have to accept that this may be the only possible pathway."

Others agree that BECCS is possible but impractical, diverting huge amounts of land from food production at a time when the world population is expected to be touching 9 billion."

Truly we are entering the realms of insanity with these people, now. How much longer can this nonsense go on before they're called out by the MSM instead of actively supported by them?

Met Police deputy commissioner Sir Craig Mackey admitted to leaving the scene of Westminster terror attack as he had no protective equipment. Dal Babu and Peter Bleksley discuss whether or not he made the right decision during the situation.

Guess what view "Dal Babu" the PC PC takes.

Furious police officers have also recently been sharing images of Sir Craig Mackey holding a white feather of cowardice after news of his actions emerged.

Mackey should return has Knighthood and pension.

The latest climate report is not a serious document

...as always, the mainstream media, instead of objectively reading this report, have instead taken its word as law and repeated its claims to their viewers and readers without any sort of inquiry...

BBC blatant scaremongering, lies and misrepresentation.

PS It should not be too difficult to crack the scam with some real science.

Oh dear...

"Australia defies climate warning to back coal"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-45798643

"The Australian government has backed coal-fired power, despite the recommendations of a major report on climate change.

Phasing out coal is considered crucial to limiting global warming to within 1.5C, as set out in the UN report released yesterday.

Australia's deputy prime minister has said the country should "absolutely" continue to use and exploit its coal."

Oh dear, oh dear...

"But China remains the world's biggest coal consumer.

In addition, China has restarted work at hundreds of coal-fired power stations, according to an analysis of satellite imagery."

It's not going well, is it?
