WE HAD BOTH GLOBAL WARMING AND GLOBAL COOLING IN 1970’S
The global temperature in 2023, posted by CRU East Anglia, was 15.19 C (59.34 F) (see below) was slightly warmer than the 15.00 C (59 F) posted by NASA in 1915. 15.19 C, was “perilously close” to the dreaded 15.23 C, (1.50 C plus 13.73 C). The 2020 NASA graph below, drawn with a zero Y axis, shows global temperatures were at odds with its own Graphs. It shows 2016 as the warmest year at 58.71 F (14.84 C). Yet 1990, the warmest year ever recorded by NASA at 59.81 F (15.46 C), is shown as one of the coolest. The 1998 data, lowered by Phil Jones, co-author of the Hockey Stick, is shown as one of the warmest.

Kukla-Mathews Letter to Richard Nixon
Politicians and the media went into overdrive on release of the 1972 Kukla-Mathews letter that warned of a cooling world but did not provide global temperatures. It said the earth was cooling despite that NASA, NOAA, CRU East Anglia and British Met Office had shown world warming since 1880. The above link containing the Kukla-Mathews letter to President Nixon warned of an increased frequency and amplitude of extreme weather anomalies such as those bringing floods, snow storms, killing frosts etc” Where have we heard that before? .A reason to form a committee with a mandate to monitor the world’s climate and determine executive roles and wages because of the global cooling! Cooling Stopped in 1976
From now on anomalies relative to the pre-industrial average will be all that is required to express global temperatures.
The latest information from NOAA Climate 13.73 C checks out as the pre-industrial average temperature.
According to NASA the global temperature in 1915 was 59 F (15 C) compared to 59.14 F (15.08 C) in 2023 according to the latest anomaly from NOAA.
Using 13.73 as the baseline plus anomalies the 2023 global temperatures are shown in red:
WMO 1.45 C. at 15.18 C, NOAA 1.35 C at 15.08 C, NASA 1.36 C at 15.09 C. British Met Office 1.45 C at 15.18 C, CRU East Anglia 1.46 C at 15.19 C. We are told that we are not far away from the dreaded temperature, 1.50 C. (13.73 C plus 1.50 C) at 15.23 C. Which was exceeded as far back as 1939 according to the NASA graph below…Where is the warming?
The Earth-Atmosphere Energy Balance
Above links from NASA and NOAA, showing earth with a stable temperature of 15 C, have credibility though the dates of the publications are not shown. This may well have been the reason for the drop in temperature baselines from 15 C down to 14 C to provide “warming room” back up to 15 C and beyond.You can compare the temperatures on the NASA table and graph below with the NASA climate reports below:.
95 Is Hottest Year on Record As the Global Trend Resumes
A Global Warming Resumed in 1994, Climate Data Show – The New York Times
Separate Studies Rank 1990 As World’s Warmest Year
The NASA table and graph below had shown a baseline temperature of 15 C (59 F
The baseline of 15 C (59 F) was reduced by Phil Jones to 14 C in 1998 but was reinstated in the year 2022.
The lowering of the temperature would have provided “room for warming” back to the temperature the world had always been at 15 C.
