No Global Warming in America.

From the Abstract:

No warming trend was found in the long-term instrumental air temperature records of 82 remote, tiny towns in the United States. The tiny towns are located throughout the contiguous United States. Data was from NOAA’s National Center for Environmental Information database. The data spans the 120-year period 1900 through 2019. Instead, a slight cooling trend of -0.29 degrees C per century was found. A sinusoidal curve with a 60-year period, amplitude of 0.5 degrees C, and a negative linear component gave an excellent fit to the smoothed data with a Pearson R of +0.9. The tiny towns selected for this study have very small populations (4,400 population on average), and are far from urban centers. They also have long records from 1900 through 2019, have almost complete data with less than 4 percent data missing (1.6 percent missing on average), and are spatially distributed across the continental United States. Data was adjusted, per convention, for upgrades to measuring equipment, station moves, and changes in time-of-observa tion. Previous analyses of global land temperatures during the past 120 years show an average warming trend of approximately 1.2 degrees C per century. Greenhouse gases cannot be selective in their warming impacts. No greenhouse gas warming in remote, tiny towns requires there to be no greenhouse gas warming in urban areas, either. Implications for policy-makers and those with interests in climate solutions include no justification for international agreements to curb greenhouse gases, no need for a carbon tax, nor for carbon capture, use, and storage.
