This piece is an excellent debunk of the climate change hype that is constantly put out by the BBC and other media here. Here is a chart to confirm the headline to this article.
Indeed, decadal average temperatures have actually dropped slightly since 2000-2009:

Climate change is caused by greenhouse gas emissions. Why not ask fossil fuel companies to pay for some of the damage?
In November, a fast-moving bushfire sliced through a valley in the Warrawillah area, north of Taree, on New South Wales’ mid north coast. Fiona Lee was one of the first Australians to lose her house in what would become Australia’s worst-ever fire season. More than 3,500 houses and 18 million hectares would burn before March.
“It came with no warning,” she told Hack.
“We were the only house on our road that got burnt.”
…
Who pays for all this? Victims like Fiona? The taxpayer? This week, a group of experts including former emergency services commissioners from all over Australia proposed that at least some of the money should come from the industry making money out of fossil fuels — namely oil and gas companies, and coal miners.
Emergency Leaders for Climate Action (ELCA) are calling on the Federal Government to introduce a $1 levy on every tonne of embedded carbon produced in Australia. They calculate this would raise $1.5 billion per year.
…
“Something has to be done to wake up the fossil fuel industry,” he told Hack.
“We’re all paying through the nose for their profiteering at our expense.
Australians already pay around USD $3.40 / gallon for gasoline, even after prices came down in the wake of Covid-19 – a punishingly high price for fuel in a country with such long roads and empty distances.
Adding a carbon levy to fuel on top of all the other taxes would not punish fossil fuel companies, it would punish ordinary Australians, because fossil fuel companies would simply pass the cost on to their customers.
If greens really wanted to make a difference to CO2 emissions they could demand Australia invest in nuclear power, convert all our coal plants to zero carbon nuclear like France did in the 1970s.
Rasmussen’s daily presidential tracking poll released on Friday reveals that 50 percent of likely American voters approve of President Trump’s job performance, while 48 percent disapprove.
It has been five months since Trump’s approval rating rose over 50 percent, back when he was still in the early stages of responding to the Covid-19 pandemic.
I personally find this very heartening, because Trump sees the human-caused global warming ‘crisis’ for what it is: a hoax.
