From the telescope data analysts came the news that the Earth's lower Tropospheric temperature anomaly (it's deviation from normal) was +0.36C, for July 2022. Of course, the measurement of the lower Troposphere isn't the proverbial tale of the tape. When it comes to monitoring the atmosphere for the presence or absence of Global Warming, the following applies:
"If there is no temperature rise in the Middle of the Troposphere, there is no Global Warming."
Moreover, there is a difference between surface temperatures and air temperatures. None the less, we now direct our attention to surface temperatures in the modern world, being that it can be a health issue, as were the tragic cases in France, during 1976, 2003, & 2019.

The middle of the Earth's Troposphere is approximately 30,000 ft in height, except for the Poles where it would be half as high.

So, what is adding to the heat in cities?
ANS: The great solar radiation absorber, asphalt. Or even more specifically, the Heat Island Effect and/or Heat Sink Effect.
Needless to say, the media & the press is heralding July 2022 as the ultimate inferno month of Planet Earth, where smug-faced climate change activists whose predictions failed for 34 years came on camera and say I told you so, even though there were much longer droughts and much hotter days in decades and centuries past.
In fact, the start of 2022 came with record cold which kept its visitations even into March of 2022, concerning the Southeast of the United States. Moreover, the Southern Hemisphere experienced record cold duration and cold temperatures during the exact same time the media was neon-lighting the July heatwave in France.
So, keep in mind that 1936 had the hottest Summer, and according to NASA, 1934 was the worst drought in 1,000 years. The highest temperature ever recorded on Planet Earth was so recorded in 1913, and the longest heat wave of consecutive 90+F days transpired in New York City in 1953, for 12 consecutive days.
These heat events all transpired before co2 level reached above 313 ppm. That was 105 ppm lower than today. In fact, the second most severe heat wave & drought was in 1540, in Europe. Meanwhile the Great Drought of the American West occurred between 1276 and 1299 C.E, when co2 levels were as low as they were during the Roman Empire years. Thus, co2 is not lighter fluid. Nor is it a Roman Candle.
None the less, the climate change racketeers will always claim that the hottest and worst weather had transpired last month --- and we're all gonna die in the next 5 or 10 years. This is the Five & Dime Doom Store Script, and it has been ongoing since June 1988. It's beyond tiring to hear this, due to the repetitive failed doomsday predictions of the past 34 years which keep being repredicted, with the designated dates of doom being pushed back to the next 34 years.
It's definitively true that the predictions of doom never came true in any aspect. After all: {1} the Maldives are very much above water with financially fit Arabians enjoying the premises. {2} No coastal city has gone underwater. {3} Your shoes are still dry after walking throughout Lower Manhattan, and {4} you still can't go water skiing in the Summertime Arctic Ocean without you crashing into 1.3 million to 1.9 million square miles of ice.
And remember, the Global Warming, Climate Change, End-of-the-World hysteria was ratcheted-upwards only because Joe Biden took up residency at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. It's an advertising gimmick, these days. And 2021 was a very fanatical year with doomsday prediction after doomsday prediction.
As a note, American sales managers teach their new employees that, when you are trying to make a sale, you are to create a sense of URGENCY in the prospective buyer. However, American workers who spent decades working outdoors don't buy the Climate Change hysteria. They are experienced in experiencing all sorts of climatic conditions. And they realize that climate per se is ......... cyclical.

It even got to the point where the Climate Change Salesmen blamed snow on man-made co2 and Global Warming. As I previously explained, a water molecule will stay in the atmosphere for approximately NINE days. Any January snow storm that comes 182 days after a July heatwave is NOT caused by that July heatwave. And concerning the oceans warming, the majority of ocean water is dark & 39F. That's all.
|
It's now the Summer of 2022. A hundred years prior, reports made it to the news stands that the Arctic was in a meltdown. The heat of the prior year, 1921, was a contributing factor. Other dreaded heat years near that time span included 1871, 1878, 1895, 1896, 1901, 1911, 1913, 1922, 1931, 1934, 1935, and 1936, as well as 1947, 1988, 1998, 2012, and 2016. All in all, climate is cyclical.
Include the several long-term droughts in the desert that came to be called the American Southwest. This includes the present saga of the man-made Lake Mead (near Las Vegas) which is dependent upon the man-made reservoir of Glen Canyon Dam which, in turn, was in a more dire situation than was Lake Mead. So, it was given priority in water acquisition, by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. It's name is Lake Powell.

Southern California's Mojave Desert, 2012. I didn't bring anyone with me into that desert which was 102F at the time.

At this point, let us remember an official statement of the (pre-Biden) United States government: "Drought is a normal climate pattern that has occurred in varying degrees of length, severity, and size throughout history."
The exact same United States government declared that:
"Tree ring archives indicate that
agricultural droughts such as those that happened in the United States
during the 1930s Dust Bowl era have occurred occasionally over the last
1,000 years, and climate
model simulations suggest that droughts that may last several years to
even decades OCCUR NATURALLY in the southwestern U.S." Okay then. This brings us to France.
The media is obsessed, due to a severe lack of intelligence, with blaming all unwelcome weather events on CO2, while occasionally mentioning "greenhouse gases" in general. Meanwhile, the same media never explains what constitutes a greenhouse gas, and the same media surely doesn't have the habit of informing its viewers that the #1 greenhouse gas is Water Vapor which constitutes 90% of all greenhouse gases, by volume ... and which has a zero carbon footprint.
As I have already illustrated elsewhere in the Blue Marble Album, in the July 2022 London hype, as well as in the July 2021 Biden administration's NOAA hype, a lot of falsehoods are flying through the media and the Internet, about July 2020, 2021, and 2022, as well as Greenland snowfall and the ocean sea level reports.
In fact, NOAA has changed historical graphs, to makes the temperatures of the very hot 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s look much cooler and more mild. This makes that time span's temperatures look colder and much more mild than today's temperatures, and this is outright criminal fraud. This is why I advise everyone who is honest to gather as many newspaper and magazine articles about the blazing heat of the early 20th Century as possible, to show how the present employees of NOAA are literally fraudsters. Include the newspapers of the 1870s and 1890s. The newspapers of old are the original Climate Record, and they will serve as evidence to prove the fraud.
Of course, being that opinion polling showed "climate change" to often be the least concern amongst American voters, the climate change salesmen realized that they were engaged in a losing proposition. So, they had to take the hottest month of the year and hyper-exaggerate it's thermometer readings and yearly wildfires, to make a sale ... all the while altering the past temperature graphs, to make the past look degrees colder than those heat-stricken days actually were.
The man-made-co2 salesmen repeatedly had to exaggerate July's natural heat to the point of making it sound as if the end of the world were once again five or ten years away, and that only the climate change racketeers can save you. Well, the media has definitely been serving the climate change salesmen, as if to be their campaign volunteers. So, go to the old newspaper archives, and make a library of temperature records and weather event reports. That's how you can save the Truth from being hidden away from mankind for all time.

Of course, dispel from your mind the belief that an amount of CO2 as small as 420 ppm, could ever drive a climate the size of Earth. After all, it's Water Vapor that comprises 90% of all greenhouse gases ... by volume. NASA, itself, publicly stated the "SUNLIGHT DRIVES THE CLIMATE." NASA did not include co2 as a driver. So, when you encounter a hot environment in the city or in suburbia or on a military base or at a mall parking lot or at a college campus, think the following:
The heat island effect, being heavily assisted by asphalt. It involves Albedo. Actually, the heat part involves the lack of Albedo.
Albedo is the scattered (the diffused) reflection of solar radiation (aka sunlight) back into outer-space, after making contact-encounter-incidence with some material object on Earth, and doing so without heating that object beyond the percentage of sunlight absorbed by that object. To say to say, albedo involves the encountering of a material without conduction occurring in the encountering thereof. Albedo is like a boomerang effect performed with light --- with solar rays.
Albedo is measured on a scale from 0 -1, where 1 is the reflecting of 100% of the solar radiation back into outer-space. The only material object on Earth which can make this happen in 100% completeness is a mirror positioned at the correct angle toward the sun. Thus, whatever be the other materials on Earth, sunlight is partially absorbed by them and partially deflected from them. However, the one earthly material that absorbs solar radiation (aka sunlight) most efficiently is ASPHALT. It absorbs approximately 95% of the solar radiation that makes contact with it. That heats things up.
Runners-up in the solar radiation absorption contest include, soils, wet sand, dark clay, grasslands, the tundra, and coniferous forests, as well as black acrylic paint which is equal to new asphalt.
This solar radiation absorption will increase surface temperatures in the cities, at mall parking lots, etc. Then, when night comes, the heat gets released from the asphalt, etc. All in all, CO2 has been blamed for causing what is being caused by asphalt and even coniferous forests.
Now, as far as goes Ocean Albedo, it's true that 94% of the sunlight which reaches ocean waves does not rocket back into outer-space, depending on the latitude. But, the 94% of sunlight does not entirely get absorbed into ocean water. If it did, there would be much more of an evaporation cycle and much on Earth.
Now, sunlight at the higher latitudes of the Earth make contact with the Earth's surface at different angles than at the lower latitudes. Higher latitudes have too much solar diffusion and do not capture as much sunlight as do the lower latitudes. Thus, the lower latitudes develop the hurricanes which perform the task of heat transfer.
Again, hurricanes are further evidence that the oceans are NOT depositories or vaults for added heat. In fact, hurricanes can be regarded as substitutes for Albedo that do NOT develop according to sunlight, but rather develop according to the lessening of air pressure.
BTW, the average Albedo for all of Planet Earth is .3 (30%)
Incidentally, there are 332,519,000 cubic miles of ocean water on Planet Earth, and as I long since stated, the majority of ocean water is dark and 39F. So, don't fall for the phrase, "the oceans are all warming 60% faster than originally thought and we're all gonna die." That was already disproved. None the less, the 39F temperature is the case for 9,000 vertical feet of the Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans ... 7,000 vertical feet for the Southern Ocean ... and 653 feet of the Arctic Ocean.
In as much, another mechanism of heat transfer happens with ocean water, due to the fact that water interfaces with air. In brevity, it goes as follows: Firstly, ocean waves create an interface with the air, due to the constant moving of waves and their mixing with air. This means that the heat budget of any ocean surface interface is dominated by short wave irradiance, as opposed to there being an even exchange of short wave and long wave radiation.
Elsewhere on Earth it's a matter of "shortwave in" (from outer-space) and "long-wave" out (from Planet Earth into outer-space.)
So, an airborne "upwelling" occurs slightly above the oceans, and NOT in the oceans. This is regarded as Latent Heat. This process can be regarded as the inversion of heat. The bottom line is that the oceans are not becoming bathtubs of scalding water, as certain political propagandists are claiming.
Next comes the ocean winds. It is always the case, everywhere on Earth, that wind is a matter of high pressure air following (gravitating toward) low pressure air. Low pressure is equated with warmer and more moist air. Such air rises until it dries and compresses, it then descends toward Earth. This is known as convection, and there are massive convection cells on Earth.
This convection caused the existence of the Earth's major deserts being on the 30th parallel of both hemispheres, as well as at the Poles. Yes, Antarctica is the largest desert on Earth, at 5.5 million square miles. The Sahara is 3.5 million sq miles.
BTW,
it can get really cold in the desert at night, due to "radiational
cooling" (which is not to be confused with radiative cooling.)
Radiational cooling occurs when no clouds are present, to keep the heat
from rising out of the desert. In fact, cloudless winter nights are the
coldest ones.
And concerning the "rising sea levels," it has been officially reported that the average sea level rise of Planet Earth was 7 to 9 inches since 1880. That's a 140 year time span. The yearly sea level rise average that was reported is equal to the thickness of the sides of two American pennies; about 3.5 or 3.6 mm.
Back to Heat Island Effect
An example of how the heat island effect can become effectively deadly was the 2003 heatwave in France. France? How ironic! Oh yes, I forgot. Climate is cyclical and history repeats itself. Incidentally, the other modern-era French climate tragedy was the heatwave of 1976.
Concerning the re-visitation of climate tragedy to France in 2022, remember that Global Warming is a habit. It's an oft repeating pattern. So think: 2022 minus 2003 = 19 years. 2003 - 1976 = 27 years. Not a pattern. Not a habit. Once-in-twenty-year events are not signs of global warming. The warming in the middle of the Troposphere is.
There needs to be a cessation of the demonizing of co2. Asphalt is a different story, even to the point of adopting the slogan, "Keep the co2, but replace the asphalt" (in reasonable time, after a replacement for asphalt has been prepared --- or by perhaps adding an environmentally friendly material that will lighten the color of asphalt and thereby increase asphalt's degree of albedo.)
However, don't think about adding a dye. For the record, the early 20th Century research on chemical weapons used the dye industry for their deadly poison inventions. Miles of molecular agents of that type placed on the major highways of America is social sabotage.
Whatever be the case, literally keep Bill Gates out of the equation. The guy wants you to eat mold, instead of consuming common dinner ingredients, such as steak, eggs, veggies, grain products, beets, potatoes, dairy products, protein powder, collagen powder, herbal teas, green tea, black tea, grapes, grape leaves, etc. That one guy is Creep-out City.
Degrees of Albedo
~Green grass retains more heat than does desert sand. Grass will absorb 75% of the solar radiation that lands on it, while desert sand will absorb 60%. And yes, this fact is counter-intuitive, being that you have no problem walking on grass, compared to the burning sensation you get walking on summertime beach sand. Therefore, green grass albedo is .25, and desert sand albedo is .40.
So remember ===> Asphalt will retain and detain on the surface of the Earth 20% more heat than will a field of grass ... as in a baseball field. At night, the heat releases from asphalt.
~The albedo of Arctic Ice and glacial ice in July is about .70. Ice will absorb 20% to 30% of sunlight, during the six months when the sun never disappears behind Earth's horizon ... in the Arctic, that is. In March or April, Arctic ice can have an albedo of .85 or so. So, do not be deceived into thinking that ice reflects back into outer-space 100% of the solar radiation that contacts it.
~In addition, the albedo of white clouds is about .80. Clouds are not a 100% returner of sunlight, either. Some heat is still retained.
In addition, an average sized cloud weighs over a million lbs. A floating cloud mass is millions of lbs. This, too, is counter-intuitive, until you realize that millions of pounds of snow do fall from those clouds during a substantial snowstorm. In fact, a lot of atmospheric science is counter-intuitive or outright contradictory. Atmospheric physics can be intricate, requiring equations in its understanding, just like any other science. It's not as simplex as Al Gore made it out to be, in one of his absolutely worthless videos.
You perhaps have the general idea of albedo, by now. In as much, a lying propagandist looking for government funding, NGO donations, or the instituting of the carbon tax will say to an audience that CO2 drives the climate. As was previously mentioned, NASA had a different answer. NASA claimed in public print that SUNLIGHT drives the Earth's climate.
Let us repeat. The pre-Biden NASA managers publicly stated that:
"SUNLIGHT drives the Earth's climate." Therefore . . .
You don't have to submit to the Climate Change bullies, even those bullies at the UN who don't belong to nations who landed on the Moon, landed on Venus, landed on Mars, landed on an occasional asteroid, sailed to the BOTTOM of the ocean, operate an Antarctic science research station, created long bridges and maintain long tunnels, manage shipping lanes, etc. The truth is NOT on their side ... not even concerning July 2022.
They are merely looking for an excuse to obtain sizable amounts of U.S. taxpayer dollars, by creating a sense of guilt in the U.S. taxpayer mind.
BTW, there were record colds and cold time duration records occurring during the same month of July 2022, even in Australia. In fact, the start of 2022 was a time span of record-breaking cold. You and the rest of the public have been getting a very one-sided & skewed version of the climate reports.
