Pointing to something I have been asking about for some time, since I have known about it for some time.

If we have any “warming” it is (1) hemispheric - concentrated in the northern hemisphere (where we also have more land and more land-based temperature sensing stations) and is most likely equally offset by a “cooling” trend in the southern hemisphere.

Which suggests we have a change in the patterns of atmospheric circulation and distribution - not a total warming. And, in fact we know that is true because we have had continuous reporting of very much changed patterns in the “El Nino” and “El Nina” affects in the Pacific.

“Manmade” global warming is more political-science than science and when it’s not political-science, it’s an ignorance-based religion from those who believe what the political-science (politicized scientists) tells them.

The SH is warming, but not as quickly at the surface because most of the SH surface is water, and there is a definite time-lag of ocean warming due to the high heat content of water. And one of the main land masses in the SH, Australia, is already very warm because it's mostly desert, so the effects there are harder to detect. See the above post about the sea ice model (though I can't intellectually defend it because I don't pretend to understand it). Land areas of Antarctica that are influenced by sea surface temperatures are warming markedly. The unique environment of central Antarctica, which for several reasons is semi-isolated from the rest of the world, has shown a small cooling trend.
