The Version 6.0 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for February, 2021 was +0.20 deg. C, up from the January, 2021 value of +0.12 deg. C.

The linear warming trend since January, 1979 remains at +0.14 C/decade (+0.12 C/decade over the global-averaged oceans, and +0.18 C/decade over global-averaged land).

metmike: It's the year 2021. Where is the apocalyptic, accelerating warming on the planet?
Granted, we have a natural La Nina in the Pacific(that contains most of the planet's heat) cooling things slightly but there is just as much blue/white as there is yellow/orange.
Catastrophic, runaway greenhouse gas warming, after all these decades could never show up looking like the above map.
Keep in mind, that 3+ decades ago, the UN(that's behind the fake climate crisis) predicted this:

Instead, we've had just the opposite in the REAL world, this:

metmike: After 3 decades of this, why are we still believing the made up stuff based on busted computer model simulations and giving that more weight than the real world?
Answer: Because thats that only stuff the MSN will report on and repeat, in unison thousands of times. Hearing a lie repeated thousands or even millions of times will never make it THE TRUTH!
@RyanMaueFebruary 2021 temperatures across Lower 48 were 5°F below the most recent 30-year climatology (1991-2020) with the center of the US -- b/t Rockies and Appalachians -- experiencing a very chilly month overall. Florida did not participate in Winter this year.
Daily high temperatures were colder than the lows -- compared to recent climatology for February 2021. Data for Maps from PRISM Climate Group (Oregon State)https://prism.oregonstate.edu
February 2021 will most certainly slip behind February 1989 to be the 2nd coldest February in the past 40-years. And, probably in top 8 of coldest Dec/Jan/Feb winter months. Recent coldest Lower 48 month by far was December 1983. Could go further back in time, of course.
2-months into 2021 and Maine is the "warmest" state in the Lower 48 compared to climatology. It's relative warmth. Oklahoma and Texas are the "coldest"
