Featured ​July was hottest month on record globally

from quote: "...t the alleged ‘record’ amounted to an increase over 2010, the previous ‘warmest year’, of just two-hundredths of a degree – or 0.02C."

That is the point most people never hear, along with the fact that the error bars exceed the increase.

And Secondly, the NASA GISS folks have been busy lowering old temperature records and raising new temps. Its called 'adjusting' but it is alway up for the new temps and down for the old.

 

And for the "Things that really matter file" hell will be the hottest July ever. Shouldn't we be more concerned, as believers, with sharing the Gospel message? World weather is forever changing. When I lived in Nebraska, the saying was, "if you didn't like the weather, wait five minutes!"

Come on CTB, find a topic that matters to people and not just Al Gore faithful :laugh:

 

It has been a cool summer here--I'm not sure if we have had any days above 90. We got about 30 inches of rain since the first of June and set a new record for rain in Indianapolis as we had heavy downpours day after day.

 

I think that story dates from back in cold war days, when once a year the US and Soviet track and field teams would hold a meet, alternating sites. Supposed headline in Pravda: "The brave Soviet team earned second place, while the Americans finished next to last."

Back on topic - even with the "adjustments" noted above, it's pretty clear that the world's climate has warmed during the past 140 years, and there's solid evidence that greenhouse gases have played a role, though tracking the feedback mechanisms is incredibly complex. However, there are good reasons to work at lowering our carbon footprint and using resources wisely, starting with the believer's role as steward of what God has made. Unfortunately, some of the supposed "cures" for climate warming look worse than the disease, and would place heavy burdens on those least able to bear them.

 

Yes, warmed about 0.8 C. We need perspective. The Little Ice Age petered out by the mid 1800s.

For all the 'sky is falling' global warmists, you would prefer the Little Ice Age? Climate is cyclical and you may get your wish.

CO2 is plant food and gives life. Its radiative forcing is logarithmic, Each doubling of CO2 has less effect and at present re: direct radiative forcing, CO2 has shot about 80 percent of its wad. The issue is feedback. The models program in positive feedback but actual data from satellites shows negative feedback.

 

One thing that we could do is to stop doing business with polluters such as China.

And that brings up Iran, who is on the verge of detonating several atomic bombs in the Mid East and Europe. Those atomic bombs will be very bad for global warming although John Kerry will likely get the Nobel Peace Prize for his working in seeing that the jihadists are not disturbed in their purchases from Europe.

I guess you can say that nuclear fallout is a greenhouse gas.

 

“Better data shows July this year is the hottest since way back in … 2014. It’s not 4,000 years, not 135 years, it’s the hottest July since the last one,” noted popular Australian climate researcher and scientist Jo Nova in an analysis ridiculing the official claims and the even more outlandish media propaganda surrounding them. “We only have 30 years of good climate data: the satellites tell us the pause is real, and last month’s summer temperatures is not a record anything. According to the UAH and RSS global satellites, lower troposphere averages for July 2014 were 0.30C and 0.34C, compared to July 2015 of 0.28C. Even June 2015 was hotter (UAH, 0.35C; RSS, 0.39C). July 2015 is not even the hottest month since June.”

Oops! As usual, the cascade of alarmist headlines worldwide about the allegedly record-setting July — some especially silly journalists speculated that it may have been the hottest in 4,000 years — began with a press releases from alleged scientists at the NOAA and NASA. Instead of focusing on the fact that their own satellites show that the ongoing pause in global warming has been going for more than two decades, or that even this June and last July were warmer than July 2015, the tax-funded alarmists cherry-picked dubious, incomplete, massaged, and in some cases invented (extrapolated) data to falsely claim a new “record” was set last month.
