Hottest Day Evah!

From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT!

By Paul Homewood

Do they think we are really so gullible?

Tuesday was the hottest single day on Earth in the history of human civilization, according to a combination of global satellite data and historical tree ring analysis. One point in far northern Canada was hotter than Miami. In Siberia, the temperature in Altai hit 94°F. Despite July being mid-winter in the Southern Hemisphere, temperatures in Argentina and Chile soared to more than 86°F (30°C). In the Philippines, Metro Manila recorded its hottest-ever July day. The temperature in Iran, Algeria, and Oman all reached 122°F (50°C).

“It hasn’t been this warm since at least 125,000 years ago, which was the previous interglacial,” Paulo Ceppi, a climate scientist at London’s Grantham Institute, told the Washington Post. Given Earth’s annual temperature cycle typically peaks in late July, this is a record that could be broken several more times this month.

The idea that we know the global temperature today is absurd in itself. But the idea that we actually know what it was on a given day 100 years ago, or 1000 years ago, never mind thousands of years ago is sheer fraud.

And the claim that it is hotter now than 5000 years ago is a total lie – there is abundant evidence that it was much warmer then.

And as always with all of these silly scare stories, they cherry pick some high temperatures in the Arctic, knowing that the public will find them alarming because they assume the Arctic is always freezing normally.

For instance, “One point in far northern Canada was hotter than Miami.”

The link takes us to Kuujjuaq:

And the daily temperature from KNMI shows that temperatures over 90F, 32C, are not uncommon there. The new record of 93F replaces the old record of 92F set in 1999, which is hardly cause for panic!

https://climexp.knmi.nl/selectdailyseries.cgi?id=someone@somewhere

Then there’s Siberia:

“In Siberia, the temperature in Altai hit 94°F.”

But again we learn that temperatures often exceed 90F there; the record of 96F was set in 2000:

And according to the con merchants, there has been record-setting melt of the Greenland ice sheet.

Maybe Eric Holthaus has been holding his graph upside down! Greenland has added 100Gt of ice during June, when it is supposed to be melting.

Naturally the BBC and the rest of the media lackeys have been peddling the same lies and nonsense:

The rest of the story:

“The purpose of the interactive chart and maps on this page is to view daily snapshots of temperature as estimated from the Climate Forecast System. The increase in mean global temperature since the start of July, estimated from the Climate Forecast System, should not be taken as an “official” observational record. It is important to note that much of the elevated global mean temperature signal in recent days can be attribute to weather patterns in the Southern Hemisphere that have brought warmer-than-usual air over portions of the Antarctic.

For additional long-term climate context, site users are encouraged to view monthly and annual global mean temperature data for the period 1880 to present from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration via Climate at a Glance.”

Look at the range of temperatures that are some shade of fiery red, from 16° through 45°. Twenty nine degrees is purported labeled as ‘Hot!’.

Meanwhile cool blues might run from 10° through 22°, with each shade clearly defined. A range of twelve degrees.

30 deg C in Argentina? Where? Actually we’re struggling through an extended cold winter, waiting for that good boy El Niño to rescue us. The only way to get to 30 deg C in the winter is due to adiabatic lapse rate compressive heating, locally called Zonda, same as Chinook in Denver, Colorado. I’ve played golf only once in the last month, and only made it through 4 holes before giving up, that’s a real climate indicator.

When you announce how hot it is in July, many people will agree, because July is hot in the northern hemisphere. Throw in mention of a few places very few have actually experienced for authenticity on high temps, and you have a very believable article. I note that the handy dandy global temp record here on WUWT reads 4 degrees F cooler than the numbers I just heard on NPR.

What skewed the scale were the relatively warm temps during the Antarctic winter. Still cold but much above the day according to the limited data set we have for down there.

I can believe it was the hottest day on record. At least since records began in the late 19th century. My question is: So what? The world has been in warming trend for decades. No one denies that. As the temp trend continues to increase we are inevitably going to be setting records for the hottest day.

The real question is: Why is that a problem? What problems have rising temps caused? There has been no increase in hurricanes, or droughts, or floods, or severe weather of any kind. Crop yields are at or near record highs. The Antarctic ice sea is growing. No island nations have been swept under the seas. The coral reefs are doing fine.

Where’s the problem? We need to spend $300 trillion to stop global warming? Why? What problems have rising temps caused? Crickets.

I believe there is serious reasons to doubt that it is even the hottest in the last 100 years based on the anecdotal evidence of what was written about global temps and droughts at times during that period.

Consider this. What allowed them to make this claim was higher than normal temps in during the Antarctic winter. Well in 1929 the Arctic came close to reaching the alarmist dream of an ice free summer! How would the global temperature been skewed by those kinds of temps?

The estimate is a global average. Averages can be raised by the Daily maximum, minimum, or both increasing. The average tells us nothing about the risk of hyperthermia to individuals. I often put on a light jacket at 63 deg F, especially if there is a slight wind. The average temperature also tells us nothing about the heat index. It is clear that it is an attempt to scare the public rather than educate them.

Think about it! This “climate scientist” is claiming that he knows what the “global temperature” was for every single day in the last 125,000 years, within about 2 deg. C.

You have to “believe” that because there was absolutely no equivocation of any kind in that statement. And the WPO obviously did not even ask any common sense questions about how they arrived at that conclusion.

You can “believe” what you want. I prefer facts! Remember now, the implication of their claim is that they know what the “global temperature” was within 3 deg. C or less was for every single day in the last 125,000 years. And you “believe” that proxy evidence can provide that kind of information? Show me an example!

Title:
Currently — July 6, 2023: Earth’s hottest day in recorded history
Statement within the article:

Tuesday was the hottest single day on Earth in the history of human civilization, according to a combination of global satellite data and historical tree ring analysis. One point in far northern Canada was hotter than Miami. In Siberia, the temperature in Altai hit 94°F. Despite July being mid-winter in the Southern Hemisphere, temperatures in Argentina and Chile soared to more than 86°F (30°C). In the Philippines, Metro Manila recorded its hottest-ever July day. The temperature in Iran, Algeria, and Oman all reached 122°F (50°C).
“It hasn’t been this warm since at least 125,000 years ago, which was the previous interglacial,” Paulo Ceppi, a climate scientist at London’s Grantham Institute, told the Washington Post. Given Earth’s annual temperature cycle typically peaks in late July, this is a record that could be broken several more times this month.

One of the issues with current temperature estimates is the sampling protocol. For historical proxy temperatures there isn’t a sampling protocol. It is ‘catch as catch can.’ That is, there are few opportunities for obtaining a suitable proxy, and one has to use the very limited data, which means that there are going to be very large error bars for a global average, if done honestly!

Logic fail.

Your assertions is that CAGW is the result of human emissions of CO2.

CAGW can not be contradicted because the is NO FACTUAL EXPERMENTAL DATA proving the connection between CO2 and temperature!

It is up to people, like you, that claim there is a connection to show the experimental proof that there is a connection between CO2 and temperature.

The recent pause in increasing temperature while CO2 has been increasing, drastically complicates your assertions that human emissions cause the change.

Don’t bother with showing a correlation between the two by using time series. That does not prove causation. You need to show CO2 as the independent variable and temperature as the dependent variable. I have not seen a study that does this. Perhaps you have.

Excellent question. “The Science” says one thing in the technical sections and a completely different thing in the Executive Summary.

The technicals say there is no established connection between human-derived CO2 and the Earth’s temperatures (AR5).

Then the politicians get hold of the Executuve Summary and change the wording so that it says there *is* a connection between human-derived CO2 and the Earth’s temperatures.

The scientists say there is no discerable connection between human-derived CO2 and the Earth’s temperatures, while the politicians say just the opposite.

That depends on how one defines “climate scientist.” My academic background is not all that different from Michael Mann, who does not have a degree in climatology, but has a degree in geophysics. I’m not “researching” because I’m retired. However, I’ve spent years following the subject. And, because I don’t have a departmental budget to support publishing in peer-reviewed journals, I publish here, some 15 articles at last count.

How about yourself? Have you published anything, anywhere, that would give us confidence that you are competent? Do you have an academic background in anything remotely resembling climatology?

They can’t have people who study for years in their specific field, then research in the finest detail, presenting results that are peer reviewed, telling them what is real and what is not.

Studies from South America and Asia also show higher temperatures than today during the same period.

And the claims about COVID and the “vaccine” were claimed to be based on the “best scientific research” currently available at the time. Even though the fact is that mankind has never been able to stop the transmission of, or control a viral contagion transmitted by aerosol having a non-human animal reservoir.

LOL! They claimed unequivocally that the first two shot series of the “vaccine” would prevent infection. That was a LIE. The story then became that the outcome would be better for the “vaccinated” and they cannot provide the data to back that since they claim they never tracked how many that had received the “vaccine” died from COVID.

The President and the Director of the CDC told the public that the “vaccine” would prevent transmission. That was a LIE!

They claimed that a standard cloth or paper mask would help protect one from contracting the disease. That was a LIE! Such masks offer about as much possibility of stopping a virus as a chain link fence does in stopping a mosquito.

They repeatedly denied that the virus originated from a Lab in China. It did!

They claimed that the “vaccine” was perfectly safe. It obviously was not and now J&J has discontinued it’s production.

I challenge you, or Fauci or anyone to give one example of a viral contagion transmitted by aerosol, and having a non-human animal reservoir, for which an 100% effective vaccine has been developed and which stops transmission of said contagion.

Name just ONE! There are none!

Name just ONE! 

And BTW I’m almost 68 years old and was truck driver dealing face to face with people all over multiple states during the pandemic and was not vaccinated.

I had COVID before they knew what it was and was down for three days and then went back to work. It was two weeks before I was fully recovered.

I know I had COVID because I tested positive for antibodies.

I never had any symptoms of any of the several subsequent variants. And I knew I was good to go long before the “experts” fessed up and admitted that natural immunity provides superior protection to their experimental “vaccine”.

Did you ever notice that it was only the “vaccinated” that got COVID multiple times?

If you get the COVID vaccine your chances of dying certainly do decrease.

A recent study showed ‘‘The data revealed that individuals who received more than two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine had a reduced likelihood of developing cardiovascular diseases, thrombosis, kidney failure, respiratory diseases, liver cirrhosis, and diabetes compared to those who had not been vaccinated.’

This COVID vaccine is excellent stuff. It protects against diabetes, lung cancer, dementia etc etc – all cause mortality is much less in vaccinated people in studies.

After all, these are official statistics, and if you can’t trust official statistics not to be manipulated, what can you trust?

This is 100% true.

If you are 80 years old and drive to the vaccination centre and get vaccinated, and then get COVID, your chances of dying are way less than an 80 year old in a nursing home who has not been vaccinated because they have dementia and heart failure.

Absolute fact! And people still spout nonsense like vaccinated people are just as much at risk as unvaccinated people.

I matters not that you have experienced a pleasant spring and mild summer were you live, a place that has had hot and humid springs and should reliably be in the 90’s to 100 by July but is currently 85 degrees and sunny.

The keepers of the data (kept behind closed doors under lock & Key) have manipulated the Global Averages (East Anglia anybody?) to be “THE HOTTEST DAY ON RECORD!” It’s over there not everywhere don’t you know.

They beat this drum to brainwash those future voters whose earliest memory of spring and summer only goes back 1O years to voluntarily crowd into the cities and take the bus which will reliably break down because it is run on an unreliable battery they pretend is charged by the Sun (which is suspiciously absent casual relationship in their propaganda on Global Warm…ahh we really meant Climate Change all along).

As these future voters grow up, their evidence of the “Hottest day on record” will be supported by the experience of sitting in a hot bus waiting for the diesel version to rescue them and get them to their destination 2 hours late.

Here in Central Ohio it has been unusually cool this summer. Daytime high temps have not yet breached 90 degrees even once and it’s already the second week of July. They aren’t forecast rise above 82 anytime in the next 10 days, either.

I prefer cool weather, so I’m not complaining. I always think about these things in a particular way:

The total insolation received by the Earth doesn’t really change, nor do any of the other bulk characteristics which would effect average temperature. Therefore, the average temperature remains the same; at least, temperature and area integrated over time will not vary.

That means that if it’s too hot somewhere, it must be too cold somewhere else. It isn’t possible for the whole planet to heat up unless you actually changed the albedo.

stevencarr
July 7, 2023 7:43 am

According to all these graphs of the Earth’s hottest day in July, the temperature of the entire planet should go down about 4 degrees by the time we get to Jan. 2024.

That happens every year. The graph says the climate mean is 16.21 in July and 12.41 in January, when we are closer to the Sun.

What mechanism causes the temperature of the entire Earth to go up or down by 4 degrees each and every year?

And if we can survive the Earth’s temperature rising by almost 4 degrees every 6 months, can we survive the temperature rising by 3 degrees in a century?

Your research capabilities are lacking. See this link that points out Pages 2K contradicted itself after only 4 years. Their 2019 graph shows there was no Little Ice Age, just1900 years of very cold temperatures! If you look around you will find studies that shows there was a global Little Ice Age. That refutes the Wikipedia page. Sorry about that.

It has been my experience, and that of others, that Wiki’ does a reasonably good job of explaining science and math, but an abominable job of being objective with topics that are politically polarized, and tends to support the woke narrative instead of presenting both sides of the evidence. Just because a particular published paper contradicts a position doesn’t mean it is right or that there won’t be further research that contradicts it. Science advances with back-and-forth exchanges, and your willingness to accept something because it is recent or supports your beliefs says a lot about your approach to science.

What you are really saying is that there was a warm period in the known world. Little is known about the New World or Siberia because of a lack of written records or well-characterized proxies. The Wiki’ article seems to support a more widespread warming based on proxies.
