Real Climate Science

“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.”

– George Orwell

For the past 130 years, Colorado’s official record maximum temperature was 118 degrees on July 18, 1888 at Bennett.

Record Highest Temperatures by State

The state climatologist has erased that, and replaced it with a 115 degree reading from July 20 this year. He said the weather is a clear signal of climate change.

The claim is that John Martin Reservoir, east of Las Animas, Colorado was 115 degrees on July 20, 2019.  The 115 reading does not appear credible, because there is a USHCN station at Las Animas, which recorded only 107 degrees that day.

Las Animas has had 424 days over 105F since 1895, and this year’s peak of 107F was fairly average and nowhere near a record.

There is no reason to believe the 115 degree reading is legitimate, or that the 1888 record should be erased, but climate alarmists know they can rewrite history with impunity – because no one in the press will dare question the climate religion. They now take perfectly ordinary weather events, and turn them into all-time records.

There was a lot of warm weather in 1946, including a stretch from December 1 to December 28, when Harrisburg, Illinois had 14 days above 60F, and no days which didn’t reach the freezing mark.

Cherry trees bloomed record early that year in Washington DC.

And the trees bloomed again in record warmth during November.

March 1946 was fourth warmest in the Washington DC area, after 1921, 1945 and 2012.

Also note that five of the last seven years have had below average March temperatures.

During March 2017, the New York Times used their favorite phrase “scientists say” to misinform the public about this topic.

And in 2018, the Washington Post used the authoritarian “we expect” for their disinformation campaign.

The Washington Post also predicts cherry blossoms will start blooming in January.

Cherry blossom bloom dates show little or no trend since CO2 hit 350 PPM.

This paper projects increasing heatwaves – despite all of their data showing the exact opposite.

state-of-the-art climate models project an intensification of heat extremes across the United States and Canada in the upcoming decades and beyond

The paper claims that the heat covered almost one-third of the US, and began around 1930. But their maps and graph show that the heat covered a much larger region, and that summers were hotter from 1910 until 1955.

The National Climate Assessment shows the same thing.

Temperature Changes in the United States – Climate Science Special Report

The vast majority of US states set their all-time temperature before 1940, and all but four set their record with CO2 below 350 PPM CO2.

The vast majority of individual stations set their records below 350 PPM CO2.

Summers were much hotter in the US prior to 1960.

The article claimed poor station coverage in the past, but there were more stations reporting during the 1930s than now.

The heat and drought of the 1930s was not confined to less than one third of the US, it covered the entire planet.
