1983\u20132024 (~0.017\u00b0C\/year), despite much lower CO\u2082 emissions early in the century, suggesting a disconnect from human-caused CO\u2082.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

What is truly revealing about this important analysis is that it shows an obvious disconnect between the rise in anthropogenic CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;and the sharpest warming occurring in the early 20th century, when industrialisation was confined to relatively few countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The annual 0.0054\u00b0C translates to warming of little more than 0.8\u00b0C during the industrial era and is below claims of well over 1\u00b0C from other, often politicised, sources. The disconnect with CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;is evidenced by slower warming and even cooling trends over the last 125 years at a time when emissions of the trace gas have been rising in the atmosphere. The results of the work are tabulated below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"364\" data-attachment-id=\"420100\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=420100\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-82.png?fit=1024%2C516&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,516\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-82.png?fit=723%2C364&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-82.png?resize=723%2C364&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Table displaying temperature trends and cumulative CO2 emissions over different 42-year periods using data from 992 weather stations.\" class=\"wp-image-420100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-82.png?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-82.png?resize=300%2C151&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-82.png?resize=768%2C387&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-82.png?resize=640%2C323&amp;ssl=1 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The largest warming over a 42-year period occurred between 1899 and 1940 when cumulative CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0emissions were only 139.6 billion tonnes. The next period, from 1941 to 1982, saw annual average cooling of -0.013\u00b0C, leading to widespread fears at the time of a new global ice age despite 3.3 times jump in cumulative CO<sub>2<\/sub>. From 1983 to 2024, the average annual temperature warming of 0.017\u00b0C was less than the period up to 1940, when CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0levels were 8.7 times lower. When considering these figures, it is worth noting that the notion <strong>humans cause most climate change is a hypothesis<\/strong> \u2013 in other words, an opinion, a guess given unwarranted credibility by <strong>computer models<\/strong> based on the current or selective state of knowledge. Political interference based on promoting the Net Zero fantasy does little to advance the current state of factual knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, these patterns do not align well with the \u2018settled\u2019 political view that increasing CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0from the use of hydrocarbons is the primary driver of recent global warming. In fact, they do not align at all with the <strong>UK Met Office\u2019s recent risible pseudoscientific claim<\/strong> that its \u201crapid attribution study\u201d showed that human-induced climate change made the UK\u2019s record-breaking annual temperature of 2025\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.metoffice.gov.uk\/about-us\/news-and-media\/media-centre\/weather-and-climate-news\/2026\/2025-is-double-record-breaker-uks-warmest-and-sunniest-year-on-record\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">approximately 260 times more likely<\/a>. A record, it might be noted, of six hundredths of a degree centigrade culled from a largely \u2018junk\u2019 measuring network made essentially useless by massive unnatural and uncorrected heat corruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only are there few, if any, adjustments made for urban heat corruptions, but global temperature datasets promoting warming over the industrial age of up to 1.3\u00b0C are frequently adjusted higher&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dailysceptic.org\/2024\/04\/04\/massive-retrospective-adjustments-made-to-temperature-databases-used-to-promote-net-zero\/\">retrospectively<\/a>. GISS, which is part of NASA, increased past warming from January 1915 to January 2000 from 0.45\u00b0C to 0.67\u00b0C, a massive 49% boost. HADCrut is run by the UK Met Office, which once&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.metoffice.gov.uk\/binaries\/content\/assets\/metofficegovuk\/pdf\/research\/climate-science\/climate-observations-projections-and-impacts\/paper2_recent_pause_in_global_warming.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wrote a paper<\/a>&nbsp;on the inconvenient temperature \u2018pause\u2019 from 1998 to 2013. Alas, the pause did not survive substantial retrospective warming adjustments, although it is still visible in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drroyspencer.com\/2025\/12\/uah-v6-1-global-temperature-update-for-november-2025-0-43-deg-c\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">accurate satellite record<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cynical have been known to observe there are more fiddles in global temperature datasets than the music cupboard at the Royal Philharmonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back in the real scientific world, the author of this new analysis of temperature data stretching back to the 19th century is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/pure.qub.ac.uk\/en\/persons\/bibek-bhatta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr Bibek Bhatta<\/a>. Operating out of Queen\u2019s University in Belfast, his research spans energy policy, finance and climate, with a focus on leveraging \u2018Big Data\u2019 to uncover hidden patterns and systemic misalignments. In his latest work, Dr. Bhatta argues that academic researchers should approach the concept of anthropogenic global warming (AGW) with a degree of caution. \u201cRather than treating AGW as a foregone conclusion, scholars in all fields should be encouraged to acknowledge the existing uncertainties,\u201d he said. When building models or theories that assume CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;is the primary driver of changing weather, they should note that \u201cempirical evidence for this direct link is still a subject of debate\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an earlier section of his paper, Bhatta addresses the widely debunked suggestion of a 97% consensus among scientists about AGW. The claim arose from a supposed examination of nearly 4,000 papers published over a 21-year period, implying an average of one new paper produced every other day on the topic. This would suggest a \u201cherd mentality\u201d rather than a proliferation of independent evidence, commented Bhatta. \u201cIf one strong piece of empirical evidence for AGW exists, such repetitive endorsement would be unnecessary,\u201d he argues. Perhaps Dr. Bhatta is too polite to add that the 97% figure, along with a subsequent 99% claim, was largely fabricated anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Bhatta\u2019s work on big meteorological data is fascinating. He presents his findings over several time periods; full details and methodology can be found in the enclosed link at the top of this story. His aim is simple \u2013 to investigate whether global warming trends recorded by actual weather stations can be \u201cprimarily attributed\u201d to human emissions of CO<sub>2<\/sub>. His work follows a long line of research seeking to provide a truer picture of constantly changing past climate at a time when CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;levels have been much higher and no obvious link exists with movements in local or global temperatures. Such work, effectively banned from consideration in most anti-science mainstream media, examines the role of natural weather variation and the possible \u2018saturation\u2019 of gases with atmospheric warming properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In total, 105 million global temperature recordings were downloaded from the Global Historical Climatology Network. After extensive cleaning, the final sample numbered around 42 million measurements with continuous records from at least 1900. All records supplied maximum and minimum daily temperatures and came from 992 stations across 29 countries. Data for annual human CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0emissions was taken from Our World in Data. To adjust for <strong>urban heat influences<\/strong>, satellite information showing the build-up of urbanisation within a 10km radius was used. Similar work using this information has been done by other researchers trying to estimate urban heat effect on ambient air temperature measurements. As the table above noted, the annual warming for 1983\u20132024 was 0.0167\u00b0C compared to an urban heat corrupted 0.0209\u00b0C. Aficionados of the Met Office\u2019s \u2018hottest year evah\u2019 claims might take note of these figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In conclusion, Dr. Bhatta observes that his evidence raises serious questions about the established assumptions regarding the impact of CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;emissions on global warming. While the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change claims \u201cunequivocally\u201d that humans have caused global warming, he continues, \u201cthe empirical evidence presented herein does not provide support to such straightforward relationship\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Chris Morrison is the&nbsp;<\/em>Daily Sceptic\u2019<em>s Environment Editor.
