Ready for warmer nights?

Have you noticed how nights feel much warmer these days?

This is simply because the greenhouse effect is at work day and night. If global warming was just caused by the sun, the heat would be greater during daytime but cool temperatures would return at night.
Instead, scientists are observing a decrease in cold nights that is greater than the decrease in cold days, and conversely an increase in warm nights greater than the increase in warm days.

The greenhouse phenomenon has a leveling effect between day and night temperatures. Unlike what climate warming naysayers are claiming, this happens regardless of where weather stations are located. A good way to check temperature accuracy is to compare it to satellite data.

These are showing the same amount of global warming. As there are no air conditioners or car parks in space to throw off measurements, as climate change deniers like to point out, this is a confirmation that thermometers, down on earth, are pretty accurate.

I guess it's time to sell all these extra blankets you no longer use!
