WARMEST DECADE, BUT ONLY JUST

This article gives a good account of the fallacy of simply believing all the arguments found in the main media about this being the warmest decade. First of all when one says “hottest” it is a gross exaggeration of the planet’s mean temperature. For its somewhere close to 15C.  That is roughly .3C warmer than it was 30 years ago.  All that means is the amount of measured warmth outduels the cool by .3C  hardly a rout. Much of the warming is in colder drier areas which is a function of increased Water Vapour (also a greenhouse gas), not CO2.
