When NASA compared July's temperature (how did they measure that, btw) to the average temperature of the "1950 through 1980 global average," did they use satellite data from the same satellites in 1950 and 1960 as they did in 2016?
Just how does one measure the temperature of "the earth?" At the core? On the surface? Of the land? Sea? At 1000 feet up? Ten feet below in the dirt? Ten feet below in the ocean? 100 feet? From a satellite? With a huge rectal thermometer? What samples sizes did they have in 1950? In 1960?
I was wondering about that while I was watching the beautiful manned rocket launch yesterday...oh wait they can’t do that anymore...
N.A.S.A.
Not A Scientific Agency.
As I recall, it was pretty darn hot in July 1312.

You are asking the wrong questions, you are supposed to ask, "How do you feel about it"?
I’m Melting!!!!!!!!!
Again??
I already know without reading this article that it wasn’t.
How? Because it never is! These “hottest ever” and “coldest ever” things always end up being BS!
Yeah,
Well NASA has become just another gub mint agency destroyed by this maggot we call obammy.
So how’s that mooselimb outreach going there NASA, ya dopes.
The DMSP spacecraft records worldwide temps and has for over 50 years. There has been no increase in temperatures. None. In fact, it recorded a decrease in temps.
Were there snowstorms in July throughout the tropics and the glaciers advancing all over the world NASA would announce it to be the hottest year on record. It may be true, I guess, if the “records” only go back 18 months.
Wow - recorded history - all of about 100 year’s worth.....
