Global warming would mean winters are supposed to be getting shorter and spring arriving earlier. Therefore March should show a clear warming trend for the northern hemisphere.
The latest March data are now available from the Japan Meteorology Agency (JMA) and today we will look at Sweden, Canada and Alaska.
As you will see, contrary to the claims of global warming, the data show that the month of March has not warmed in decades.
No baked Alaska
First we plot the mean temperature for the surface stations in Alaska for which the JMA has sufficient data, going back almost 4 decades:
Data source: JMA.
As the above chart shows, 8 of the 12 plotted stations show cooling or steady March mean temperatures – not what we really would expect from a planet that is alleged to be warming rapidly.
Cooling Canada
Next we plot the mean temperature for the stations in Canada, also for which the JMA has sufficient (untampered) data for more than 2 decades. Here’s what we get:
All stations in Canada show no warming since 1998! If anything, we have to say it’s cooled a bit. Data: JMA.
Warming alarmist Greta Thunberg’s Sweden
Finally we plot the March data for Sweden, here as well only the stations for which the JMA has adequate data:
Data source: JMA.
Here in Sweden as well all stations show no warming in March taking place. Winter is taking its time leaving.
Perhaps other locations on the globe have warmed, but the data show this has not been the case for Canada, Alaska and Sweden. The warming is not global.
Warmists baffled
And spring seems to be taking its time to arrive. Especially this year has seen a brutal extended winter across the northern hemisphere, and this has got the global warming alarmists twisting themselves into a pretzel to explain it.
Have a nice weekend everybody, and we hope spring will reach you soon – wherever you are. In Cheyenne (Wyoming), it’s been a brutally cold spring so far, and Pierre reports a very similar situation in Europe: Germany has been seeing one of its coldest Aprils on record!
You need more than data to dissuade Climate Cult members.
Too much data on each chart.
Each chart looks like a bowl of spaghetti.
Cold winter = climate change
Cold April = climate change
It snowed the other day here in Michigan = climate change
My knee hurts = climate change
Climate change can do anything !
Just added up my station here in southern alberta canada (data from 1990 to present), and i have a slight down trend for March.
For April, very significate drop (about 1C), and this April has been quite cold.
[…] we have seen in other countries, the untampered JMA data show that the month of March has not warmed in these countries in […]
Separate charts for the linear trends would make them more readable.
OK, so April doesn’t rock, but what about whole years?
