Heat wave smashes records around the world — a look at the sizzling temperatures

[JLM]

Are you disappointed the Canadian record of 45°C from 1937 still stands firm?

Could sure piss off the global warming freaks!

 

[petros]

The US "record" only goes back to 1895.

Canada didnt start officially compiling until 1952

I'd question that, the record cold winter temperatures of 1950 are often quoted in weather reports. Anyway you can take it from me, I walked to school every day in grade one in that shit.

"officially compiling" says plenty

No, thank God- one way was bad enough! (I always had short legs)

Glad to know that you didn't start out with long ones and ended up with short ones.

Would it be better if human life ended now to the benefit of the planet?

Why?? Why insist on denying the rise in asthma, cancers in all ages, and of the brain & bone cancers in newborns of babes & young to the rise in skin cancer in adults? Is money more important than life on the planet?

I am sure that everyone over the age of say 35 to 40 knows of one environmental disaster or another. When these disasters occur world wide because of pollution of one form or another why believe we humans have no influence on our climate??

Truth is 36 was the hottest year on record.

Because Science never lies!

“Two years ago during the scorching summer of 2012, July 1936 lost its place on the leaderboard and July 2012 became the hottest month on record in the United States,” Watts wrote. “Now, as if by magic, and according to NOAA's own data, July 1936 is now the hottest month on record again.Jun 30, 2014

NOAA REINSTATES JULY 1936 AS THE HOTTEST MONTH ON RECORD

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, criticized for manipulating temperature records to create a warming trend, has now been caught warming the past and cooling the present.

July 2012 became the hottest month on record in the U.S. during a summer that was declared “too hot to handle” by NASA scientists. That summer more than half the country was experiencing drought and wildfires had scorched more than 1.3 million acres of land, according to NASA.

According to NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in 2012, the “average temperature for the contiguous U.S. during July was 77.6°F, 3.3°F above the 20th century average, marking the warmest July and all-time warmest month on record for the nation in a period of record that dates back to 1895.”

“The previous warmest July for the nation was July 1936, when the average U.S. temperature was 77.4°F,” NOAA said in 2012.

This statement by NOAA was still available on their website when checked by The Daily Caller News Foundation. But when meteorologist and climate blogger Anthony Watts went to check the NOAA data on Sunday he found that the science agency had quietly reinstated July 1936 as the hottest month on record in the U.S.

“Two years ago during the scorching summer of 2012, July 1936 lost its place on the leaderboard and July 2012 became the hottest month on record in the United States,” Watts wrote. “Now, as if by magic, and according to NOAA’s own data, July 1936 is now the hottest month on record again. The past, present, and future all seems to be ‘adjustable’ in NOAA’s world.”

Watts had data from NOAA’s “Climate at a Glance” plots from 2012, which shows that July 2012 was the hottest month on record at 77.6 degrees Fahrenheit. July 1936 is only at 77.4 degrees Fahrenheit. [Annotations in the graph are from Watts].

Watts ran the same data plot again on Sunday and found that NOAA inserted a new number in for July 1936. The average temperature for July 1936 was made slightly higher than July 2012, meaning, once again, July 1936 is the hottest year on record.

You can’t get any clearer proof of NOAA adjusting past temperatures,” Watts wrote. “This isn’t just some issue with gridding, or anomalies, or method, it is about NOAA not being able to present historical climate information of the United States accurately.”
“In one report they give one number, and in another they give a different one with no explanation to the public as to why,” Watts continued. “This is not acceptable. It is not being honest with the public. It is not scientific. It violates the Data Quality Act.”

Watts’ accusation of NOAA climate data manipulation comes after reports that the agency had been lowering past temperatures to create a warming trend in the U.S. that does not exist in the raw data.

The ex-post facto data manipulation has been cataloged by climate blogger Steven Goddard and was reported by the UK Telegraph earlier this month.

“Goddard shows how, in recent years, NOAA’s US Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) has been ‘adjusting’ its record by replacing real temperatures with data ‘fabricated’ by computer models,” writes Christopher Booker for the Telegraph.

“The effect of this has been to downgrade earlier temperatures and to exaggerate those from recent decades, to give the impression that the Earth has been warming up much more than is justified by the actual data,” Booker writes. “In several posts headed ‘Data tampering at USHCN/GISS,’ Goddard compares the currently published temperature graphs with those based only on temperatures measured at the time.”

“These show that the US has actually been cooling since the Thirties, the hottest decade on record; whereas the latest graph, nearly half of it based on ‘fabricated’ data, shows it to have been warming at a rate equivalent to more than 3 degrees centigrade per century,” Booker adds.

When asked about climate data adjustments by the DCNF back in April, NOAA send there have been “several scientific developments since 1989 and 1999 that have improved the understanding of the U.S. surface temperature record.”

“Many station observations that were confined to paper, especially from early in the 20th century, have been scanned and keyed and are now digitally available to inform these time series,” Deke Arndt, chief of NOAA’s Climate Monitoring Branch, told TheDCNF.

“In addition to the much larger number of stations available, the U.S. temperature time series is now informed by an improved suite of quality assurance algorithms than it was in the late 20th Century,” Deke said in an emailed statement.

But NOAA has apparently not just been adjusting temperatures downward, but also adjusting them upwards.

“This constant change from year to year of what is or is not the hottest month on record for the USA is not only unprofessional and embarrassing for NOAA, it’s bullshit of the highest order,” Watts wrote. “It can easily be solved by NOAA stopping the unsupportable practice of adjusting temperatures of the past so that the present looks different in context with the adjusted past and stop making data for weather stations that have long since closed.”

NOAA did not immediately respond to TheDCNF’s request for comment.

Every agency is in full compliance with the global warmer BullShjt. They all ignore the global quake uptick, the flooding uptick, and the 500 trillion tons of Greenland ice not melting, they say. When the sun sleeps we die. How many global warming fools watch TV? How,s yer grain doin?

I forgot the hail. It is thought it could, under ideal conditions, get very big indead, the paper suburban houses will not last long.


Ive, lived in NS for 60+ years and don,t remember to many summers like this, but they did happen in the last peak. I think the average day temp here been 25c, a mounth and a half or so. More like Vermount I imagine.

Well, if human life ended now there may be hope for continued life for the planet, whereas if human life were to continue it may only be a matter of time before they are both gone!

Well it is Global change ....neither warming nor cooling....the planet has done both many times.. Summers will be hotter and winters colder....It will be the bigger fires, stronger storms and more devastating earthquakes, just as earth was reaching an equilibrium. The dinnosaurs were taken care of by a sudden cooling caused by a space body. What will be our fate? Will ours be a combination of all disasters? Probably.

I,ve read somewhere that megafauna forty thousand years ago or so where the victims of gravitational adjustments, it is expected to be the same with dynos. Space was the body.

Space is solid.

I was yacking with my sister-in-law in London, England today and it is hot, dry and the gardens have all shrivelled up.

It's almost apocalyptic ... too hot and dry to grow flowers and vegetables in Southeast England! It's more normal to have snow in Calgary in July than a drought in squishy-green England.

Thier climate may have changed.

Droughts are a relatively common feature of the weather in the United Kingdom, with one around every 5–10 years on average. These droughts are usually during the summer, when a blocking high causes hot, dry weather for an extended period.[1] However droughts can vary in their characteristics. All types of drought cause issues across all sectors, with impacts extending to the ecosystem, agriculture and the economy of the whole country in severe cases of drought. The south east of the country usually suffers most, as it has the highest population (and therefore demand) and the lowest average precipitation per year, which is even lower in a drought.[2] Even in these areas in severe droughts, the definition, impacts, effects and management are all minimal in comparison to drought prone areas such as Australia and parts of the United States. In recent years however, the summers of 2007, 2008, 2009, August 2010 and 2012 were wetter than normal, 2007 being wettest on record.[3]

I see the yearly heat wave is over in AB. It went all the way up to 68.9F from a norm of 68.5F at my place.

Yep, Spences Bridge is exposed to the sun pretty well all day and they are all located in areas of exposed rock that reflects the heat. For official reasons consult a meteorologist.

Yeah but Meteorologists are scientists who believe in knowledge and stuff and make fake news because they're all socialist liberal snowflakes.

Ask one of our Random Internet Climate Experts instead. There are rather a lot of them around here at any given time.

Really? That's more than halfway to the boiling point of water. It was only 30+ here for about a week. Mind you Edmonton rarely gets over 30.

Just when you think that it's Summer, it snows there.
