Real Climate Science

Last week comments stopped working on this blog. I’m trying to sort it out with the hosting provider.

The New York Times says 124 degrees in Sicily is “possibly the highest ever recorded in Europe.”

In 1935 they reported 127F in Spain.

In 1966, 131F in Spain was widely report by the US press.

Congressional climate expert Bernie Sanders says July was “the hottest month EVER in the history of the planet”

2:04 PM · Aug 13, 2021

Satellite temperatures indicate that July was 0.2C above average, and cooler than 2020, 2019, 2016, 2010 and much cooler than 1998.

This is what the current 0.2C anomaly looks like. It is indistinguishable from a 0.0C anomaly.

There were crocodiles and palm trees in the Arctic.

When Stonehenge was built, the Arctic Ocean was ice-free, there were trees growing all the way to the Arctic Ocean and July temperatures in the Arctic were 2.5-7C warmer.

The vast majority of NOAA’s long-term daily temperature data is from the US and July was a cool month in most of the US.

NOAA has grossly inadequate long-term temperature data outside the US, and they massively tamper with US temperature data to cool the past.

The three hottest Julys in the US were 1936, 1901 and 1934. This si what the New York Times said about the heatwave of 1901

Later in July 1901, the heatwave expanded to Europe

THE HEAT WAVE IN EUROPE.; Numerous Deaths in London — Effects of Drought Serious — No Signs of a Change in England.

And continued into August.

The heatwave of July 1911 killed tens of thousands of people.

And Europe had a seventy day long heatwave which killed tens of thousands of people.

More than a thousand people died in Germany.

The 1936 heatwave killed 12,000 people in one week.

“Saginaw Michigan had an entire week where they averaged 106 during July 1936. Highest temperature was 111. They have seldom gotten up to 95 over the last 25 years. Chicago Midway Airport had nine straight 100+ days, with a high of 109 degrees during same heatwave.”

Same nonsense as 150 years ago.

“every season is sure to be “extraordinary,” almost every month one of the driest or wettest, or windiest, coldest or hottest, ever known. Much observation, which ought to correct a tendency to exaggerate, seems in some minds to have rather a tendency to increase it.”

“Hurricane Fifi (later known as Hurricane Orlene) was a cataclysmic tropical cyclone that killed over 8,210 people in Honduras in September 1974, ranking it as the third deadliest Atlantic hurricane on record, only behind Hurricane Mitch in 1998, and the 1780 hurricane.”

Hurricane Fifi–Orlene – Wikipedia

They erased the 1900 Galveston Hurricane and demoted the 1780 hurricane. The text should read :

“Hurricane Fifi (later known as Hurricane Orlene) was a cataclysmic tropical cyclone that killed over 8,210 people in Honduras in September 1974, ranking it as the fourth deadliest Atlantic hurricane on record, only behind the 1780 hurricane. the 1900 Galveston Hurricane and Hurricane Mitch in 1998”

Israel has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world and cases are skyrocketing. Palestine has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the world, and far fewer cases.
