Visitor essay by Larry Hamlin
NOAA concocted an array of “Chosen Vital Local weather Anomalies and Occasions” for yr 2023 which might be proven under as prominently featured of their Annual 2023 World Local weather Report.
Of the 25 highlighted entries on NOAA’s “Chosen Vital Local weather Occasions” diagram 13 are associated to cyclone and hurricane occasions throughout the varied oceans of the Northern and Southern hemispheres that occurred throughout the yr 2023.
These 13 highlighted remoted occasions counsel that 2023 skilled many excessive climate hurricane and cyclone occasions that can little question be hyped by local weather alarmists with flawed claims of “excessive hurricane and cyclone local weather occasions” having occurred in yr 2023.
Nevertheless, the context of those highlighted occasions fails to supply a whole and complete international historical past of the cyclone and hurricane tropical occasions for the yr 2023 with these highlighted occasions grossly misrepresenting the totality of the yr 2023 cyclone and hurricane outcomes throughout the worldwide oceans.
A previous WUWT article proven under demonstrates that these NOAA highlighted cyclone and hurricane “occasions” utterly misrepresent the very “regular” international hurricane and cyclone yr 2023 end result.
The conclusion of this WUWT article notes:
In contrast to the NOAA yr 2023 concocted and prominently featured “Chosen Vital Local weather Occasions” diagram which falsely hypes the extent of the yr 2023 international hurricane and cyclone season outcomes the information from the Colorado State College Tropical Meteorology Mission clearly establishes that the yr 2023 was a really unremarkable and “regular” yr for cyclones and hurricanes throughout the globe.
Local weather alarmist claims that hype the yr 2023 hurricane and cyclone season as being an “excessive climate end result” are absurd and incompetent as is NOAA’s “Chosen Vital Local weather Occasions” hurricane diagram portrayal.
Equally disturbing within the NOAA prominently characteristic “Chosen Vital Local weather Occasions” diagram are the highlights famous for each the Arctic and Antarctic international areas.
As an alternative of figuring out the vital 8 yearlong (2016 to 2023) and 17 yearlong (2007 to 2023) inclusive intervals of downward temperature anomaly traits respectively for these areas, NOAA hypes sea ice extent points which might be unaddressed in its report.
The truth of the ocean ice extent points for the arctic and Antarctic areas are addressed right here and right here.
The Arctic Area highest common temperature anomaly was 3.00 levels C that occurred in yr 2016 as proven under from NOAA’s World Time Sequence knowledge with a clear downward temperature anomaly development since 2016 to 2.55 levels C in 2023 (ignored and hid by alarmists).
The Arctic’s yr 2023 common temperature anomaly was 0.45 levels C under its prior highest common temperature anomaly yr of 2016.
The Antarctic Area highest common temperature anomaly was 0.65 levels C that occurred in 2007 as proven under from NOAA’s World Occasions Sequence knowledge which clearly exhibits a downward temperature anomaly development since yr 2007 (ignored and hid alarmists) .
The Antarctic’s yr 2023 common temperature anomaly was 0.50 levels C under its prior highest common temperature anomaly yr of 2007 at 0.15 levels C.
The Arctic and Antarctic international regional yr 2023 long run vital downward temperature anomaly traits of 0.45 levels C and 0.50 levels C respectively have been ignored within the “Chosen Vital Local weather Anomalies” diagram whereas the yr 2023 North America and Europe international regional enhance and reduce anomaly outcomes of 0.02 and 0.01 levels C respectively are highlighted as being “Chosen Vital Local weather Anomalies” benefit worthy.
Moreover, NOAA’s prominently featured diagram fails to spotlight the biggest temperature anomaly change of all 16 international areas with that being the discount of 0.8 levels C for the East N Pacific area (over a 9 yr inclusive interval of 2015 to 2023) as proven under.
Reasonably than deal with this huge yr 2023 common temperature anomaly discount NOAA’s “Chosen” diagram spotlight for the East N Pacific international area is adorned with a flawed declare that Hurricane Dora exacerbated the hearth in Lahaina with that flawed evaluation addressed in additional element right here.
Additionally, the Hawaiian international area giant yr 2023 common temperature anomaly discount of 0.66 levels C is unaddressed within the NOAA’s “Chosen” highlighted diagram. This massive discount (over a 9 yr inclusive interval) of 0.66 levels C from 2015 is proven under.
NOAA’s yr 2023 common temperature anomaly knowledge for its 16 international areas had 4 international areas which had by far the biggest incremental adjustments from their prior document excessive common temperature anomaly values (all of them reductions) with these areas being:
Arctic – a discount of 0.45 levels C from yr 2016
Antarctic – a discount of 0.5 levels C from yr 2007
Hawaiian – a discount of 0.66 levels from 2015
East N Pacific – a discount of 0.8 levels C from 2015
But none of those considerably largest by far yr 2023 common temperature anomaly reductions is addressed within the distinguished NOAA’s “Chosen Vital Local weather Anomalies and Occasions” diagram for any of those areas whereas upward common temperature anomaly adjustments as small as 0.02 levels C (North America) are highlighted.
The NOAA “Chosen Vital Local weather Anomalies and Occasions” diagram misrepresents many vital international anomalies and occasions for yr 2023.
