We hear a lot about runaway global warming and how awful the world is getting due to evil CO2. We hear a lot about it when we have bad bushfire seasons and drought as we did last year. Not so much in cooler, wetter years. Almost none at all in Covid years!
So how much is the planet warming? Here is the “money quote” from the article below:
The linear warming trend since January, 1979 remains at +0.14 C/decade (+0.12 C/decade over the global-averaged oceans, and +0.18 C/decade over global-averaged land).
Yes in 100 years it will be just 1.4 degrees warmer. And Governments are spending trillions of dollars on “decarbonising”, companies and individuals are paying higher electricity prices and taxes to stop the globe warming by an almost imperceptible amount over 100 years.

Global Temperature Update for September 2020: +0.57 deg. C
by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D.
The Version 6.0 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for September, 2020 was +0.57 deg. C, up from from the August, 2020 value of +0.43 deg. C.
The linear warming trend since January, 1979 remains at +0.14 C/decade (+0.12 C/decade over the global-averaged oceans, and +0.18 C/decade over global-averaged land).
For comparison, the CDAS global surface temperature anomaly for the last 30 days at Weatherbell.com is +0.38 deg. C.
With La Nina in the Pacific now officially started, it will take several months for that surface cooling to be fully realized in the tropospheric temperatures. Typically, La Nina minimum temperatures (and El Nino maximum temperatures) show up around February, March, or April.
