OH MY GOSH!!! WE'RE DOOMED!! EVERYBODY PANIC!!
RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!! SERPENTINE!!
When NOAA got in the weather forecasting business, they built meteorological observation stations all over the country, usually just outside the city limits where they could keep tabs on the “natural” environment.
Over the decades since, “urban sprawl” has overtaken these once bucolic weather reporting stations, which means they’re now surrounded by paved roads and concrete buildings. And in compliance with the “Islands of Heat” weather hypothesis, cities are always hotter than the surrounding countryside because the man-made structures absorb and retain heat more readily than the natural environment does.
Which means that even if the prevailing climate hadn’t changed one whit, it is to be expected that these weather observation posts would say it was getting hotter.
There’s also the fact that they’re rigging the system. Enviro-weenies have been caught installing new metero stations in locations guaranteed to read abnormally hot, such as downwind (according to the area’s prevailing winds) from the HVAC discharge chutes of large office buildings.
And back in the 1980s, the city of Phoenix announced that to raise its tourism profile, it was moving it’s official weather station to a hotter location so it could unseat Tucson as the hottest major city in Arizona (and I doubt Phoeix has been alone in that regard).
New Peer Reviewed Study: CO2 has Zero Impact on Climate Change
A few days ago other outlets were reporting the warmest days on record.
That’s nice, but who even cares?
BFD !
Just spent the day in Manhattan. Two layers. Lunch at bergdorfs thank you for not bombarding us w AC like they do in Texas.
Sitting on the third floor porch looking out over the Sound to LI
No. I need a sweater. It was a sunny day, too
Straight from the Wikipedia:
The current official highest registered air temperature on Earth is 56.7 °C (134.1 °F), recorded on 10 July 1913 at Furnace Creek Ranch, in Death Valley in the United States
Ooh, since 1940. OMG.
In other words, earth didn’t just have its two warmest days.
so what you’re saying is...
it was warmer in 1940.
prolly wasn’t the SUVs then....
Malarkey.
We’re having cooler temps this summer in most parts of Texas.
And Baghdad has been having weather more in in line with late September temperatures most of this month.
Those are two pretty good samples, in my opinion.
When I can just go "BOOM" and adjust the numbers, then I can say anything I want, whenever I want!
Is that how science really works?
NO!
But it is how "climate science" does.
Stupid weather schmucks are on a roll. We had pleasant Texas summer days on those two days. All weather is local, idiots!
They always do not give you the data from the 1930’s. Much warmer
T-rex and brontosaurus are disputing this
Convenient selection of reference point. 4 years before 1940 that Dust Bowl catastrophe was occurring, partially caused by drought and high temperatures. Many records set in 1936, 4 year before this article’s reference point.
Selective editing of facts can “prove” all kinds of things.
Cooler than “normal “ here in Ohio, so guess Ohio climate “resists”
These claims are such utter BS
It is cheaper to air condition than to heat.
