Despite CO2 Reduction, May Is Reported To Be Hottest May Ever

Hey, remember when the climate cultists claimed that CO2 was the control knob? Oh, and that there was a massive reduction of CO2 output during lockdown?

Last month was the hottest May on record, as the world creeps closer to a dangerous threshold

Last month was the hottest May on record worldwide, a European climate agency has reported, with temperatures in Siberia rising 10 degrees Celsius (18 degrees Fahrenheit) above their normal levels.

Globally, May was 0.63 degrees Celsius warmer than the average May between 1981 and 2010, making it the warmest May in this data record, the Copernicus Climate Change Service said.

Apparently, history only goes back to 1981. Usually the Warmists at least use a time frame going back into the 1960’s, when the world was in the midst of a slight cooling period, not during a period when it was warming (like happens during a Holocene warm period). Notice the difference between the headline and the part I’ve marked in bold.

And when compared with pre-industrial figures, their recordings indicate that the world is creeping dangerously close to the temperature threshold that international organizations warn would be so devastating to the planet if exceeded.

The Copernicus figures correlate to a 1.26 degree Celsius rise on pre-industrial levels for May. Global temperatures must be kept from rising above 1.5 degrees Celsius on those levels to avoid major impacts on the climate, the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has concluded.

Yeah, they keep warning, but none of them are willing to practice what they preach.

Anyhow, it may have been very warm in Russia, but, I had my heat off and on during May. I forgot one time and woke up to 61 in the house. That was more of March weather.

If CO2 is truly the control knob, one would expect a brief reduction of temperatures, or at least no increase, right? It couldn’t possibly be something else in charge, like during the rest of the Earth’s history, could it?
