Just as we all thought - January was the warmest month ever

I don't actually understand the original post.

Not for the first time, and it won't be the last I'm sure.

Latest wheeze is to convert Limestone to Lime and then tip that into the ocean to make it less acidic...heard some bearded geek talking about the amount needed to be mined in Australia to make the plan work & it was serious tonnage

Had said bearded geek bought a coal mine, only to find out that actually it only contains limestone...

Little thought seemed to have been given to the CO2 footprint of the mining and converting operation but it sounded like it was all going to end in tears.

Or you might be able to claim the same over hundreds of years if you include increases in oceanic CO2 (which are making the oceans more acidic, and will reach a limit at some point).

That can't be good for crushedasians (specifically their shells).

If you apply some "smoothing" to the temp data and start the CO2 data from the 1970's rather than hundreds of years ago, and change the scale of the CO2 data, you can probably overlay the two and say "Look! temp follows the CO2 output! Doomed!" ...

sasguru would believe it anyway.

Hard to imagine Swindon not being the centre of the world, eh?

The Univ of Alabama at Huntsville satellite data also says that last month was the warmest January in their records: +0.724°C above their baseline.


Phew wot a scorcher!
