Earth just had its Second-Warmest March on Record

That is not an accurate description of the content of that paper or the Guardian article discussing it. The gravity of the moon overhead reduces the summed gravitic attraction at the surface and thus would tend to lower mean sea level pressure. However, the moon's gravity would make fluids (air and water) flow towards its sublunar point which would increase the mass present and raise mean sea level pressure. However, none of that was mentioned in the article or the abstract of the referenced paper.

EGUsphere - The modelled climatic response to the 18.6-year lunar nodal cycle and its role in decadal temperature trends

egusphere.copernicus.org

Abstract. The 18.6-year lunar nodal cycle arises from variations in the angle of the Moon’s orbital plane. Previous work has linked the nodal cycle to climate but has been limited, either by the length of observations analysed, or geographical regions considered in model simulations of the pre-industrial period. Here we examine the global effect of the lunar nodal cycle in multi-centennial climate model simulations of the pre-industrial period. We find cyclic signals in global and regional surface air temperature having amplitudes of O (0.1 K), ocean heat uptake and ocean heat content. The timing of anomalies of global surface air temperature and heat uptake are consistent with the so-called slowdown in global warming in the first decade of the 21st century, also displaying warmer than average Arctic surface temperatures at the same time. The lunar nodal cycle causes variations in mean sea level pressure exceeding 0.5 hPa in the Nordic seas region, thus affecting the North Atlantic Oscillation Index during boreal winter. Our results suggest that the contribution of the lunar nodal cycle to global temperature should be negative in the mid-2020s before becoming positive again in the early-2030s, reducing the uncertainty in time at which projected global temperature reaches 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels.

The subtle influence of the Moon on Earth's weather

For generations, people have watched the Moon for signs of changes in the weather. The Moon does, in fact, affect the Earth's weather patterns in subtle ways.

So. We can expect LOWER global temperatures in 2020s DUE to lunar nodal cycle... and then positive early 2030s. Sound right?

Not saying that, but it's worth putting that into context. On a per person basis, we're still probably among, if not, *the* worst emitter. One would expect a country with 4 1/2 times our population to emit more emissions. It's simple math.

China's energy transition sees 'staggering' progress on renewables â and a coal power boom

China is the global leader in renewable energy expansion, adding new projects to the grid almost as fast as the rest of the world combined in 2022.

They're also a leader in the "EV revolution". They will dominate Tesla.

Even with all this being said, I don't think this solves our "overshoot" problem.

We're not in the top 10.

One would expect a country with 4 1/2 times our population to emit more emissions.

They do, more than 2.5 times ours.

They're also a leader in the "EV revolution". They will dominate Tesla.

"Everybody else is moving away from coal and China seems to be stepping on the gas," she says. "We saw that China has six times as much plants starting construction as the rest of the world combined."

China is building six times more new coal plants than other countries​

Earth just had its second-warmest March on record​

Polar sea ice coverage for March 2023 ranked second smallest recorded​

April 13, 2023

​

The planet continued its exceptionally warm start to the year with its second-warmest March on record.
Global sea ice coverage also felt the heat, with sea ice running at its second-smallest extent since records began in 1979, according to scientists from NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information.

Below are more highlights from NOAA’s latest monthly global climate report:

Climate by the numbers​

March 2023​

The average global land and ocean-surface temperature for March was 2.23 degrees F (1.24 degrees C) above the 20th-century average of 54.9 degrees (12.7 degrees C), ranking as the second-warmest March in the 174-year global climate record, behind March 2016.

March 2023 also was the 47th-consecutive March and the 529th-consecutive month with temperatures above the 20th-century average."..."

So the towers had an aluminum frame, not a steel frame??

The planes were made of aluminum. Office furniture and equipment was made of aluminum.

 

[Billo_Really]

abu dabu returns with news of global warming...in March.
Of course, no word yet on one of the coolest Aprils on record.....

You're just a fossil fuel whore!

Go suck Exxon!

ROME (AP) — A pair of bare-chested protesters smeared themselves with mud outside the Senate building in Rome on Tuesday to protest fossil fuel use and remind people of the dangers of flooding linked to climate change.

Then doomsday is happening everywhere.

Prove that "the earth had the second warmest March on record" without using references from an organization or scientist that have been caught lying about data in the past.

You can't do it.

I dont think so

The weather is just fine where I am

And I think most people will say the same thing
