You had me at "with reasoned debate and plenty of old-fashioned thinking". Liking it so far, and - as you see - subscribed.

I would just comment that the final graph here could (and should, really) be in Kelvin, the proper measure for a globe in space. This would make your point even better (and be the appropriate measure or "metric" as people seem to say nowadays).

Why thank you kind sir! I shall be moving readers over to Kelvin when I wheel out the UAH satellite data and we get see what the different atmospheric layers have been doing for the past 44 years compared to what land surface and sea surface measurements suggest. That's when I go global but the next few newsletters will focus on the UK.

I'm so grateful that someone is doing the heavy lifting: thanks SO much for that I took about 12 months to come off the fence as regards global warming, some years ago. I was already pretty sure, but the memorable clincher for me were the comments that the programmer trying to write the algorithm that modified the temperature data to make it fit the narrative put in, indicating what a struggle it was, and how dire the data were.

Cheers Jonathan. As a young thing at Uni I was Mr Man-Made Climate Change and would bore people senseless with hand waving and 'facts'. This got knocked out of me when I became a government scientist and rose through the ranks, getting to see first hand the level of deception involved. Talking to senior civil servants and policy advisors to the cabinet over a Friday lunchtime pint somewhere in the shadows of Westminster sure was an education!

I can imagine!

I'm a fan of people who change their mind about something. E.g. Thieri Vrain, Suzanne Humphreys, Smedley Butler, John Stockwell, John Perkins, Ray McGovern ...

You're in illustrious company!
