After the comments on the previous post, I thought I would try to write just the first paragraph of the Wikipedia Global Warming article based on facts. Here’s Wikipedia lies:-
Wikipedia:
Global warming
Global warming is the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of Earth’s climate system.[2] Since 1971, 90% of the increased energy has been stored in the oceans, mostly in the 0 to 700m region.[3] Despite the oceans’ dominant role in energy storage, the term “global warming” is also used to refer to increases in average temperature of the air and sea at Earth’s surface.
And here’s what it might become:-
Fact-encyclopedia
Earth’s averaged Surface Temperature
The average of the surface temperature is a the nominal average of temperature taken from land-based meteorological stations. An average does not directly relate to any physical property of the earth.
According to <dataset> global temperature has the following trend in each decade as follows:-
<table of trends>
Since 1971, 90% of the increased energy has been stored in the oceans, mostly in the 0 to 700m region.
First of all, obvious “global warming” disappears, because it’s clearly untrue to talk about “Global warming” in a period without warming.
So, the first big difference is that the whole focus moves away from the politically named article to one that is about the measurements. Next, we clearly have to explain what it is we are measuring and what this measurement means.
Next we have to give the values.
And clearly the non-science about “hidden heat” would be out. Because speculation about where something might be hiding is clearly not factual.
