Despite all the fake news about record heat, this summer (June-August) so far has had a near record low number of daily maximum temperature records in the US. The vast majority of summer daily maximum temperature records were set more than 60 years ago, and never matched again.

Even the climate hacks at the EPA know that the 1930’s were much hotter than any years since.

From June 25 to August 24, 1936, afternoon temperatures at Gann Valley, South Dakota averaged 105 degrees. They had twenty days over 110 degrees that summer.

I wonder who they blamed the 1896 heatwave on?  That one killed 1,500 people in New York.

1896 Heatwave

Australia also had their worst heatwave on record during January of 1896.

The 1901 heatwave killed thousands of people.

The 1911 heatwave killed thousands of people in New England and across the country.

Climate alarmists have adopted the identical thought process of 16th century witch burners, who accused people of cooking the weather.

Usually July is a very brown month here in Boulder, but we have had lots of rain this spring and early summer, and it is the greenest I have ever seen it in July.

Satellite data shows that current troposphere temperatures are about the same as 1991 and 1995.  Other than spikes and dips caused by volcanoes and ENSO events, there has been no change in temperature.

The 1995 IPCC report showed no change in troposphere temperature from 1958 to 1995, based on satellite and balloon observations.

No warming from 1958-1995, and none since 1995. So there has been little or no warming for 60 years, which of course is reported by government agencies as the Earth burning up.

When data doesn’t fit the agenda, government scientists simply alter it.

117 degrees in San Diego?  Fake news doesn’t get much more incredulous than that.  The actual forecast for San Diego is fairly typical for this time of year.

Meanwhile, here in the real world, July 6, 1936 was the hottest day on record in North Dakota – at 121 degrees.

These were the temperatures at Fort Yates, North Dakota from June 18- September 22, 1936.

Arctic sea ice volume is about to pass 2003 and move to third highest in the DMI record.  This should happen on Saturday.

Yesterday was the peak melt day of the season so far. The only other year when the peak melt occurred in July was 2003. Normally it occurs in June.

Peak melt rates have declined over the past 15 years, with this year being the fourth lowest on record (so far.)

Spreadsheet    Data

On this date in 1936, Gann Valley, South Dakota reached 120 degrees – the hottest temperature ever recorded in South Dakota.

The hottest July 5th occurred in 1911. with 100 degree temperatures into New England.

The 1911 heatwave lasted eleven days and killed thousands of New Englanders, many by suicide. It was the worst weather disaster in new England history.

Meanwhile, Drudge continues to pimp the “record heat” fake news.

One of the favorite lies of climate scientists is that snow cover is declining, and that it is having a “profound” effect on ecosystems.

In fact, snow cover has increased sharply over the past 30 years, since CO2 reached 350 PPM.  Northern Hemisphere snow cover has been above long-term mean for most of the last 25 years.

Climate science is a “profoundly” fraudulent venture.

In order to hide past heat, Wikipedia pulls a couple of dirty tricks.  They report the most recent year a record temperature was reached, instead of the first year. This skews the graph to favor recent UHI affected temperatures, and hides past heat.

But the real dirty trick is using bogus temperatures.  The official temperature at Pierre, South Dakota on July 15, 2006 was 116 degrees – four degrees cooler than the Wikipedia claimed temperature, and four degrees cooler than the actual South Dakota record heat of 120 degrees on July 5, 1936. There weren’t any USHCN stations in South Dakota close to 120 degrees on July 15, 2006, but there were two on July 5, 1936.
