1895 forward, there is a decided upward trend visible.

 

Maybe we should remember that historical data has been "doctored" to fit China's planned control and destruction of the USA as a world economic leader.

 

Official records systematically 'adjusted' to show heating...
The most costly scare the world has known.
When future generations look back on the global-warming scare of the past 30 years, nothing will shock them more than the extent to which the official temperature records – on which the entire panic ultimately rested – were systematically "adjusted" to show the Earth as having warmed much more than the actual data justified.

Two weeks ago, under the headline "How we are being tricked by flawed data on global warming", I wrote about Paul Homewood, who, on his Notalotofpeopleknowthat blog, had checked the published temperature graphs for three weather stations in Paraguay against the temperatures that had originally been recorded. In each instance, the actual trend of 60 years of data had been dramatically reversed, so that a cooling trend was changed to one that showed a marked warming.

This was only the latest of many examples of a practice long recognised by expert observers around the world – one that raises an ever larger question mark over the entire official surface-temperature record.

You miss the point through over simplification.  Adjustments are made all the time, what is important is WHY the adjustments are made, and do they yield HIGHER QUALITY data or LOWER QUALITY data.

 

Your study was reviewed by a Koch Bros. funded climate skeptic and he found that the adjustments were "inconsequential".  That means that they do NOT support your belief that climate change is a hoax.

 

Even longtime climate skeptic Steven Mosher quashes the new story in And Then There’s Physics:

And even a more pedestrian example would be eyeglasses, where we actually distort the “raw data” that enters our eye in order to compensate for and correct our bad vision. Adjustments help us see things clearly.

Adjustments aim at correcting measured data, raw data, in order to improve its quality. In the context of temperature series for land we can break the problem down logically. A temperature observation consists of a temperature measured by a sensor at time and a location. The skeptical concern over the years has been focused on bias or distortion corrupting this raw data: Bias in sensors , bias in observation time and biases that arise due to location.

Mosher is part of  the celebrated, Koch funded Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature (BEST  – get it?) that Richard Muller pulled together a few years ago.  Muller styled himself as a proper skeptic, who was not convinced that his fellow scientists weren’t up to no good in their temperature reconstructions, and told the world he was going to set things straight.

Funny thing is, he hired some real scientists to do the work, and they came up with exactly the same results everyone else had over the last 25 years.

 

Mosher and BEST colleague Zeke Hausfather have now published a more in depth piece, linked here – somewhat of a slog if you’re not comfortable parsing homogenous adjustments, break points and metadata.

 

Takeaway – “On balance the effect of adjustments is inconsequential.”

“On balance the effect of adjustments is inconsequential.”

But just enough to give us NEW RECORD TEMPERATURES!

 

This "Record heat" caused my air conditioner to use 800 KWH LESS than a year ago!

 

My garden looks marvelous with the almost daily showers that have come thru all summer.

My lawn mower has to be used twice a week just to keep up with the neighbors.

The "record drought" from the past few summers has been completely reversed.

Our pool hasn't been warm enough to swim until recently.

My indoctrinated grandson went in anyway and came up shivering and said: "I'll be glad when Global Warming is over. It's too cold!"

Several years ago we could swim in May.

 

This will be ignored by the bought-and-paid-for Chinese Lame$tream New$!:

Las Vegas failed to reach 100 degrees for 291 straight days.

 

The National Weather Service notes that this broke the all-time longest streak of consecutive days below 100 degrees, which was set in 1964-1965 at 290 days.

More Taxe$ on the USA is CHINA'S...er... our only hope to stop GLOBAL WARMING

 

Hot in one place, cool in another, Hot one year cool the next, Drought one decade, Floods the next. 12 years with no hurricanes, devistation the next.

The temperature of your pool on a given day is certainly not a broad enough study to yield a compelling conclusion about climate change.

 

Below is a current article from Republican Steve Forbes magazine.

June 1 Buffalo set daily temperature records on consecutive days to start off the month (90 degrees), while Syracuse, New York, set a record at 91 degrees, and Fargo, North Dakota, set a daily record at 97 degrees.

News Peg

An excessive heat warning is in effect in Arizona, southern California and parts of Nevada, with heat advisories in effect throughout the South and Southwest, bringing “dangerously hot conditions” and a heat index—how hot it feels outside when humidity is taken into consideration—into the 120s and 130s in some areas. Forecasters urged residents to stay hydrated in air-conditioned rooms, avoid strenuous outdoor activity and take “extra precautions” while outside.

What To Watch For

More daily heat records. Forecasters warn southwestern cities, including Phoenix—which is in the midst of an unrelenting multi-week heat wave—could continue to set records this week, while heat warnings could keep toppling daily records from California to Florida.

Tangent

Forecasters expect the early-season heat waves to be a sign of things to come, as a weather phenomenon called El Niño develops, bringing warmer air north, and as scientists warn the effects of climate change from greenhouse gas emissions will continue to drive temperatures upward, prolong drought conditions and make wildfires more frequent and strong. Roughly 1,500 cities and towns in the U.S. broke daily heat records over a 30-day period ending last September, as heat waves spread throughout the U.S., as well as the U.K. and southern Europe. So far this year, a heat wave in China took down single-day records in China, while in the U.K., forecasters are warning of the hottest year on record."

The July 1936 Heat Wave

1936: Nationally, about 5,000 people died from the heat.

"poor farming methods which left little vegetation to help mitigate the hot temperatures."

 

"They paved paradise to put up a parking lot"

"They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum"

 

1. Absorption of heat by urban surfaces (lower albedo): Concrete, brick and tarmac surfaces absorb and store heat from the sun during the day. They slowly release the heat as long wave radiation - this is most noticeable at night, when it warms the air.
2. Air pollution: Air pollution from cars and factories increases cloud cover over the city. It also increases a 'pollution dome' - a layer of pollution over the city. Both these things trap outgoing heat radiation and reflect it back to the surface.
3. Heat from human activity: Car, factories, offices, central heating, air conditioning units and people themselves all release heat.
4. Less evapotranspiration: When it rains the water is quickly removed by drainage systems, so there's little surface water to evaporate. Also, there isn't much vegetation, so there's little transpiration. Evapotranspiration uses heat energy, so less evapotranspiration means higher temperatures.

 

We had an all time record of over 100 degrees!  (in 1936)

Nothing close to that since even with all of the paving of earth's surface.

I call it climate Myopia. That's where distant events seem forgotten.

."They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum, Charge a dollar and a half just to see 'em"

Scotland chops down 16 million trees to make way for wind farms...

 

Mitchell lived in Laurel Canyon, which is a section of Los Angeles, when she wrote this song (that's the reference in the album title). At the time, big news in California was the battle to save the redwood forests, which were threatened by developers eager to cut down the trees to build shopping centers and other amenities. As Mitchell implies in this song, this could lead to trees someday becoming something you could only see in a museum.

Nothing to see here....

 

SUN is on track to rival some of the stronger cycles of the 20th century.

The last time sunspot numbers were this high was 20 years ago...Time to wake up Al Gore again!

We are currently in Solar Cycle 25, which forecasters didn’t expect to be this strong.

The monthly average sunspot number for June 2023 was 163, according to the Royal Observatory of Belgium’s Solar Influences Data Analysis Center.
Now, it may be on track to rival some of the stronger cycles of the 20th century.
