July afternoon temperature anomalies in the US (so far) are just above average since 1895, and the occurrence of 100 degree days was not far above a record low. Experts will describe this as the “hottest July ever.”
The three hottest July’s in the US were 1936, 1934, and 1901.

NOAA says that there has been no increase in heatwaves east of the Rockies, which covers more than two-thirds of the US.
But while the Midwest joins the overall warming trend, it has not been hit frequently by summer heat waves, according to Ken Kunkel of NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information
“The Midwest has not experienced any substantial summer warming and this spills over into heat waves,” he said. “The period of most heatwaves for the Midwest remains the 1930s Dust Bowl era.” In North America, there has been an increase in heatwaves west of the Rocky Mountains, but to the east, generally not, he said
This directly contradicts NOAA’s CEI (Climate Extremes Index) which shows a very large increase since 1970 in the area of the US affected by unusual summer heat.

The NOAA CEI graph above is baseless. The area of the US affected by hot summer temperatures has plummeted since the 1930’s. This is confirmed by the EPA graph below, which is also derived from NOAA (non-CEI) data.

I’ve detailed this below.
Splitting it up geographically, the area east of the Rockies (about 70% of the US) has seen a decrease of more than 50% in the area covered by 100 degree weather.
West of the Rockies has also seen no increase, and is currently near record lows.
Let’s focus specifically on 2012. NOAA CEI shows 2012 almost as hot as 1936, but it wasn’t even close in either the west or the east. The NOAA CEI graph is completely fake data.
The maps below show visually just how much hotter 1936 was than 2012.
NOAA CEI is just one more example of blatant government climate fraud.
Tornado activity has been near record lows, so Bloomberg wants you to forget about them and focus on The Empire State Building being struck by lightning as evidence of “climate change.”
It’s largely our own fault.
The Empire State Building actually gets struck by lightning an average of once every four days.
Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions
Every short term rainfall record in the US occurred before 1980. In 1956, Maryland received over an inch of rain in one minute.

Then the geniuses at Bloomberg claim that 8-10 inches of rain in 12 hours in West Virginia is a “1,000 years rain.”

In 1943, West Virginia had almost 14 inches of rain in one hour. Apparently that must have been more than 1,000 years ago. Pennsylvania had 34 inches of rain in 12 hours in 1942.
Climate alarmists are no different from 16th century Europeans who burned 15,000 witches for “cooking the weather.” They observe ordinary events, and convince themselves that it is unprecedented and somebody’s fault.
Our intrepid climate clowns are nearing 500 miles of impenetrable ice, and blogging under the influence of Vodka. Do they expect the ice to melt when the water is 0.4 degrees?

DMI shows Arctic sea ice extent well below last year, and near a record low.

In fact, there is more ice than last year, and it likely that 2016 will end considerably higher than last year. This is because the big red spot (below) in the Beaufort Sea disappeared in a storm during the second week of August last year.
The forecast is for very cold air over the Beaufort Sea the next two weeks, so it is unlikely that a lot of melting is going to occur there. This is shaping up to be a disastrous year for Arctic alarmists, and it will be interesting to see how the graphs progress, and if and when they catch up with reality.
There is science, logic, reason; there is thought verified by experience. And then there is California.
Edward Abbey
Last night California Governor Jerry Brown angrily blamed the California drought on Donald Trump, which seems just about as rational as believing that a witch turned him into a newt.
During the 1977 global cooling drought, which Brown called “the worst in recorded history” – he called for desalinization of seawater.

Three years later, California was flooding and he forgot about desalinization.
16 Feb 1980, Page 1 – Poughkeepsie Journal at Newspapers.com
Governor Brown never built the desalinization plants, but he did spend $70 billion building a train which he thought would prevent droughts. And last night he bragged about how successful his carbon tax is.
Humans don’t get much stupider than California Governor Jerry Brown.
