This is the latest January temperature record produced by satellites accurately taking global measurements on a 24 hour basis. It shows barely any deviation last month (0.03°C) from the 1991-2020 average as shown by the blue line. The 13 month red line average reveals movement of just over 0.1°C. Furthermore, the satellite record is now revealing no global warming for seven years and three months.
The data is compiled by Dr. Roy Spencer from the University of Alabama, who was kicked off Google Adsense recently for publishing “unreliable and harmful claims”. The move demonetised Dr. Spencer’s monthly satellite update page by removing all Google-suppled advertising. Google says it will ban all sites that are sceptical of “well-established scientific consensus”.
Dr Spencer has been compiling satellite temperature data for 43 years and has received awards for his work from NASA and the American Meteorological Society. He is currently working with NASA on the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on the Aqua satellite.
Satellite data shows less warming than surface measurements, which are prone to the bias caused by urban heat distortions. In the U.K., many of the recent “records” arise from city-based recorders. In July 2019, a U.K. record hot day of 38.7°C was produced in the middle of Cambridge, a city that has grown by 40,000 people over the last 40 years. The U.K. Met Office seems particularly keen on promoting its thermometer readings at Heathrow airport, a massive industrial estate with acres of concrete and tarmac and constantly moving jet aircraft. Needless to say, the surface measurements are the record of choice for media and political thermogeddonites.
However, not all surface measurements accord with the well-established scientific consensus. The recent news that the South Pole had its coldest six month winter since records began was largely ignored by mainstream media. In the world of green political activism, all surface temperature measurements are equal, but some are more equal than others.
Away from the surface distortions, satellites take constant measurements as they circle the globe. The seven-year standstill is graphically shown by further work from the University of Alabama, below.
Over a seven year period the trend is zero. Over 100 years the extrapolated trend is +0.01°C. Margin of error stuff of course, but probably nothing much to worry about. If temperature keep on rising at this rate, we will hit the 2°C ceiling rise set by the Paris climate conference around the year 3000. Back of an envelope calculation, we should hit the Net Zero 1.5°C target in about 400 years’ time.
This complex modelling of course assumes that global temperatures never fall again – a first for Planet Earth.

Couldn’t believe that vid of the young policeman slapping cuffs on someone for ‘Causing Anxiety’, seriously.
Marvellous. So what’s he doing about the Pakistani grooming gangs which are still visibly operating across his Policing area?
It looks like SFA.
Offence is taken, not given.
Or, as my lovely great aunt used to tell me,
“Sticks and stones may break my bones… but names?! They will never hurt me!”
She was the school secretary for decades at a secondary modern in Barton-upon-Humber. Never had children, but made a big, positive impact on many in her time. She would doubtless have been sacked these days, for saying it how it is and delivering a bit “toughen up, buttercup!”
There is a certain police
forceservice in my region that won’t arrest drug dealers dealing openly on the street on a housing estate where the council places vulnerable ex-addicts. The reason given: We can’t crack down on this area because that would show favouritism to one area over others and we don’t have the resources to tackle them all.That service: Greater Manchester Police.
Mr Watson should be judged by his actions, not his words.
The country has ‘gone to the dogs’. Nothing in this country is working as it should. The police are a joke chasing ‘hurty feelings’ rather than real crime. The government is a joke, they ignore the concerns of the electorate and follow the Agenda of the unelected WEF and WHO, the Judiciary is a joke for ignoring real law breakers and hounding those who stand up for our rights, the Health Service is a joke I’ve been waiting for a hospital appointment for 4 months and all I am told is ‘we can tell you it wont be this month’!
“He said he hoped officers could be empowered to apply their own common sense.”
Officer’s being allowed to use their ‘common sense’ is exactly the problem in the first place.
Anyone who is put into the unique position of being legally allowed to police anyone else needs concrete rules that if they break or overstep, they get a strike. Three strikes and they lose their job and lose their right to reapply.
Sadly it is bigger than this though, as long as we have ‘hate crime’ legislation we are all living in clown world.
A group of police officers turning up at your doorstep would be a likely source of anxiety. Perhaps they should form a circle and hand-cuff each other.
Woke policing in Colchester, Essex.

I applaud the views expressed by this Chief Constable and hope other forces can apply the same approach as his in Manchester. But wait a minute shouldn’t this be directed by our Home secretary? Someone who has proven to be useles at everything supposedly under her control, but clearly not. A more extreme example of incompetence in post can rarely be found. One good thing about our new government in early September is that she should surely be kicked out of any government position and replaced by someone who can do the job.
