It Is Mind Blowing

There has been a lot of media attention on what is supposed to be an unprecedented summer heat wave in the United States and other areas of the world. Of course, it is attributed to man-made climate change.

It has been hot in parts of the Western United States, in Southern Europe and parts of China.

However,  in the United States overall only 41% of U.S. climate stations have reached 95 degrees this summer.

That compares to a 10-year average of 76%.

The summer is not over, and the percentage will clearly increase over the next six weeks, but does anyone believe we will get anywhere close to the high temperatures we experienced in the 1930's.

In that decade at least 85% of US Climatology Network Stations routinely hit 95 degrees.

In addition, is the trend line of high temperatures (red line) since the 1930's increasing or decreasing?

This largely shows how cool June was this year in the United States across much of the nation.

It did get warmer in July for parts of the country.

This is the map for the same period in July, 2002.

It is not as warm in 2023 as it was in 2002.

The average temperature anomaly is about .2 degrees cooler in 2023 than it was in 2002.

The average maximum temperature is about 2 degrees cooler in 2023 than it was in 2002.

However, we are hearing that the temperatures are mind blowing and unprecedented.

This is after 800 million additional tons of carbon emissions have been produced since 2002.

I would not even want to calculate what that numbers has been since the 1930's.

What else do you notice in the maps above?

It has been hotter than normal in New York City and Washington, D.C. in July but it has been cooler on average in flyover country.

Where is the media based?

They are hot so they need to tell you that you are hot even if it is not true.

Despite the recent heat wave that gripped Arizona and also affected the Las Vegas area, at the end of June Las Vegas had gone a record 291 consecutive days without one day of over 100 degree temperatures.

Are we really seeing "mind blowing" summer heat?

One more example.

This is the forecasted temperature anomaly map for Europe for the last 10 days of July.

It is warmer than normal in Italy and Greece. However, look at the rest of Europe.

There has also been a lot of media attention directed to the Canadian wildfires and the smoke that has been blowing across much of the northern and eastern parts of the United States this summer

The narrative is that this also is the result of climate change.

However, if that is the case how is it that the climate change causing the wildfires seems to stop at the border?

The United States is currently seeing one of the lowest number of burn acres caused by wildfires that it has seen since the 1930's.

Mind blowing summer heat?

The only thing that is mind blowing is that so many people believe the climate change narrative.

They appear to not have the slightest idea that the climate has been changing for eons.

Just a glimpse at climate history around the world and the slightest amount of critical thinking is all that is needed to understand that something is amiss with the climate change agenda.
