Dateline: July 22nd, 2024, Planet Earth. The new hottest day ever was declared to be July 22nd, 2024. In reviewing the individual cities' weather charts for that day, it's obvious that it was NOT the United States' hottest day on record in any capacity. When it came to temperature, it was an average day in the USA.

| Even when it's not the hottest day on record, shade is still an invaluable summertime commodity ... for those who actually have to work outside ... or spend long hours there. |
On July 22nd, 2024, a very cold & sunless Antarctica experienced a 50.4F degree temperature rise above its normal "aggregate" temperature. That's the reason why July 22nd, 2024 was declared the hottest day on record. If it weren't for that 50 degree Fahrenheit injection of heat into Antarctica from above, then July 22nd, 2024 would have been just another day.
Yet, the media had to make it sound as if CO2 had caused cities throughout the world to simultaneously be engulfed in a heat never previously experienced. Well, intense heat was previously experienced, when the CO2 level was very low, as in 1896, 1900, 1905, 1911, July 13th 1913, 1921, 1922, 1934, and 1936, etc, etc, etc.
On July 22nd, 2024, what brought all that heat to Antarctica?
Did you ever wonder from where all of the 50F degrees of heated air came? Well, if you are in Antarctica, the answer to that question is: "Look up. Look straight up." This is because that heated air came straight down to the Troposphere from the Stratosphere, but only after three weeks of performing the stratospheric warming up there, which began with the forming of Rossby Waves.
Those waves entered the Stratosphere with the heat, and weakened the Polar Vortex which was corralling the air in the stratosphere as a gatekeeper. That air then swung down into Antarctica below, in a scientifically observable sequence. It was not an unexplained mystery.

The temperature rise of July 22nd ... 2024 ... didn't have anything to do with Greenhouses Gases or Carbon Emissions, as the Al Gore Myna Birds claimed. The heat had to do with Potential Vorticity.
Now, vorticity usually deals with the formation of cyclones and tornadoes. But, Rossby waving ascend into the Stratosphere in cyclical motion. So, do the math here, on the comparison thereof.
The only influence on the heat carried by Rossby Waves into the Stratosphere, during July of 2024, was the residual heat brought by the previous El Nino which officially ended ... as to its maximum degree of conduct ... in April of 2024.
Now, concerning environmental missions on Earth needing to be done, it's not CO2 in the sky. It's the GLUT OF SYNTHETIC CHEMICALS throughout modern civilizations.
This includes 1a} respiratory irritants, 1b} respiratory allergens, 2} dermal allergens, 3} hormone disruptors, 4} clastogens which causes breakage in chromosomes, and of course, 5} carcinogens, as well as 6, 7, & 8} the plight of forever chemicals, microplastics, and certain pharmaceuticals that do not filtrate out of city water systems.
And let us not forget menthol cigarettes which were found to contain ~Acetone, ~Ammonia, ~Benzene, ~Formaldehyde, and ~Cadmium.
But of course, RFK, Jr seems to have begun to address the general issue, beginning with children's cereals. But, much more work needs to be done about corporate America's irresponsible flooding of humanity with synthetic chemicals that were unknown a century or two prior.

Okay then, being that July 22nd, 2024 was declared the hottest day in history, let's test the spirits ...
... and investigate the thermometer readings of various cities throughout Planet Earth's Northern Hemisphere, for July the 22nd, 2024. Let's check and see how much of a heat anomaly there was throughout Planet Earth.
This would mean that there would be a lot of record highs throughout well known cities. In fact, if this hottest-day assertion is real, then we would easily locate tragic & apocalyptic temperatures throughout Planet Earth, for July 22nd, 2024. Let's see, city by city:
Washington DC is among the most famous cities where it gets hot come summertime. So, let's see: It's average high temperature for July is 89F. In as much, if July 22, 2024 were the hottest day in recorded history, then the D.C. high should have been significantly above average.
The truth is that the July 22nd high was 7 degrees Fahrenheit BELOW AVERAGE. It only reached 82F that day. Thus, July 22nd was NOT the hottest day for Washington D.C. in any capacity.


Nor was it the hottest day ever, for New York City, being that the high there on the hottest day in recorded history was three degrees Fahrenheit BELOW AVERAGE. However, the low for that night was 3 degrees Fahrenheit higher than the average low. So, July 22nd 2024 was a perfectly average temperature day in New York City. No End of the World Apocalyptic Heatwave their, either.
Let's now go straight south to Miami where it's guaranteed to be hot in the Summertime. The average late July temp there is 89F to 91F degrees. Well, on July 22nd, 2024, the high was exactly in the middle of the average range, at 90 degrees Fahrenheit. In fact, the low of that day was three Fahrenheit degree BELOW AVERAGE. No drastic temperature increase there in July of 2024.
Let's go west into Texas where it gets really hot in July. The average July high in Galveston is marked at 90F. Well, on the hottest day in recorded history, the Galveston high was Eleven degrees Fahrenheit BELOW AVERAGE, at a comfortable, shiver-free 79F.
Now, the average July low for Galveston is marked at 80F. On July 22nd, 2024, the low in Galveston was 73F. That's seven degrees Fahrenheit below average.
Now, add Galveston's high with its low for July 22nd, and we have Galveston reaching no higher than 18 degrees Fahrenheit BELOW NORMAL. Now divide the high & low by two, being that there is daytime and nighttime. The departure from normal ends up being 9 Fahrenheit degrees BELOW NORMAL. No apocalyptic Global Boiling here, folks. We need to go to the next town, to see what's going on there.

Let us go north, along the Mississippi River and land at St. Louis. And yes, it can get very hot in the Midwestern states of Kansas, Missouri, & Oklahoma. In fact, while I was driving through Tulsa in 2012, it was 106F. So, maybe on the hottest day in history, the Midwest would have blazing temps.
Okay then, the average July high in St. Louis Missouri is marked as being 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Well, on July 22nd, 2024, the high in St. Louis was 6 degrees Fahrenheit BELOW AVERAGE, at 84F.
Let us adjourn to Tulsa Oklahoma, the place where I experienced the hottest outdoor temperature in my life, at 106F. Now, the average high July temperature for Tulsa is 94 degrees Fahrenheit. Well, on July 22nd, 2024, the high in Tulsa was 6 degrees Fahrenheit BELOW NORMAL, at 88F.
I know!!! Arizona is always blazingly hot in July. Let's try there. Well, the average July high temperature for Tucson in July is 100F. On July 22nd, 2024, the high in Tucson was 100F. Completely average.
PLUS, the average nighttime low for Tucson in July is 75F. Well, on July 22nd, 2024, the nighttime low in Tucson was 75F. The temperatures there were perfectly average in Tucson, on the supposed hottest day in recorded history.
Let's see what happened in Mexico on the day proclaimed to have been the hottest one on record. Well, Tijuana's high temp for that day was PERFECTLY AVERAGE, and the nighttime low for that calender date low was a very comfortable 64. Thus, it was only two degrees Fahrenheit above average. No Global Boiling here, folks.
Let's go further south, to the middle of the Americas ... to the middle of the Western Hemisphere. Enter Costa Rica, a land of moderate temps. On Monday, July 22nd, in the Year 2024, the high in Costa Rica's capital was two degrees Fahrenheit BELOW AVERAGE. No Global Boiling there, folks. Gotta move onward.
Let's now go to Jakarta, the de facto capital of an Indonesia which is going to move its capital to Nusantara. In fact, Indonesia is the nation known for its gold medals in the Olympic sport of ... badminton. Well, the average July high in Jakarta is 90F. On the day declared to be the hottest one on record, Jakarta was two degrees Fahrenheit BELOW AVERAGE.

Let's go to the part of Western Africa where things are moderate in the Summer. Maybe on July 22nd it became an inferno. Let's see about Accra, the capital of Ghana. Well, on the day declared the hottest on record, Accra's high was two degrees Fahrenheit BELOW AVERAGE.
Let's go to India, and see what July 22nd held in store there. Let's look it tragic Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, the land of 1984 Union Carbide methyl isocyanate leak. Well, on the day that was proclaimed to be the hottest on record, the Bhopal high temp was completely average. The low on July 22nd was only two degrees F above average ... in the summertime, when heat is expected.
At this point, being that more than enough visual samples were posted ... and so done for the sake of credibility ... other cities throughout the world can be cited, pursuant to the honor systems. Even at that, anyone can fact check the numbers presented without an official temperature graph/chart.
Let's go to Karaganda, Karaganda, in the Kazach Uplands. How did it fare, on July 22nd, 2024? ANS: Well, its average high is 80F, and its average low is 50F, for the month of July. On July 22nd, 2024, Karaganda had an 81F high and a 52F low. One Fahrenheit degree above average in the summer Sun is NOT Global Boiling, in any capacity.
At the Bujumbura Airport, in Democratic Republic of the Congo, the July 22nd 2024 temperature was 3.5F above average, with an 86F high and a 70F low. Nothing exceptionally deadly there.
At Lautoka, in the Fiji Islands, the average July high there is a moderate enough 84F. One July 22nd, 2024, the high there was 82F, and that constitutes two degrees Fahrenheit BELOW NORMAL.
At the Janshedpur Airport, in Ghatshila, India, the average July high is 91F. On July 22nd, 2024, the high temperature there was one degree Fahrenheit BELOW NORMAL.
Throughout most of Planet Earth, on July 22nd, 2024, according to the official temperature charts is was predominately an average day. Only the 50.4F temperature influx from the Stratosphere gave the Copernicus Programm people in Europe an excuse to present that day with the typical "Sky-is-Falling Hysterics."
The More Northern Temps
Now, one might conjecture that, maybe ... just maybe ... it was the northern cities of the Northern Hemisphere which had the severe increases of temperature, on July 22nd, 2024. After all, it's all a matter of variations from the average. That's what an anomaly is.
Well, let's see what was happening in the Western Hemisphere's most famous three rivers confluence which is located at 40 degree latitude and 80 degrees longitude.
It's called Pittsburgh and its the land of many modern-era innovations, such as the world's first robotics institute, the first skyscrape entirely clad in aluminum, the first "self-anchored suspension bridges, the first skyscraper made with Cor-Ten Steel, etc, etc, etc.
Pittsburgh's high on the day proclaimed to be the hottest one on record was no higher than 75F. That's eight Fahrenheit degree BELOW AVERAGE, being that 83F is the average high temp for Pittsburgh in July. There was no searing heat in Pittsburgh on the alleged hottest day on record.
Below: West Mifflin IS a nearby suburb of Pittsburgh.
How about we try Paris France, a city which had tragic heatwaves, from time to time? Was July 22nd, 2024 one of those deadly days?
ANS: Not even close. The average high temp for Paris in July is 79F. On July 22nd, 2024 the high in Paris was 76F, three degrees BELOW AVERAGE. No searing heat here on the so-called hottest day on record.
Well, how about London? The average high temp for London in July is 75F. Was it a hot & searing day there, on July 22nd, 2024? ANS: Are you serious or is that question dry British humor. The high temp in London for that day was only 75F. PERFECTLY AVERAGE high on the so-called hottest day on record.
However, the Climate Change propagandists will howl that the July 22nd low in London was 72F, when the average low is 57F. Well, such a thing happens when a high pressure system is locked in a blocking pattern.
The bottom line is that the CO2 Fairy didn't sneak into London on the night of July 22nd, 2024, sprinkling CO2 dust all around the city, causing it to stay close to the daytime high. Blocking patterns do happen from time to time, on Planet Earth.
Let's sail west, to Galway Ireland, where the average July high is only 67F, while the low is 55F. Well, on July 22nd, 2024, the high in Galway was 68F and the low was 57F. That's not much of a departure from normal temps.
Meanwhile, in Al Jafr, Saudi Arabia, the average July high is 116F. Well, on Monday July 22nd, 2024, the high temperature there was only one Fahrenheit degree above average.
Do you get the point, yet? If there were no Stratospheric heat injection into Antarctica on July 22nd, 2024, then July 22nd, 2024 would have been just another day.
- No Globalwide Heat Departure form normal. There were only limited regional ones. Thus, Turkey had places of moderately above average temps, as did southwestern China and the Chinese islands such as Hong Kong and Maca.
- And for some reason, temps in Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, Romania & Poland had areas that were approximately 9, 10, and 11 degrees Fahrenheit above normal. And then, the crop yields throughout that region of 2024 & 2025 were mixed. Yet, there was no famine or
- For example, Poland has not yet rebounded into its usual yields. Yet, Slovenia had significant rebounding in a couple of crops, and Russia had high yields in its category of "Grains & Legumes" which resulted in a massive 33% year-on-year gain.
- In addition, it's always hot in the summertime in Arabia, Northern Africa, Southern Spain, Southern Italy, Greece, etc.
- Plus, plus ... plus, plus, plus, the 2024 drought in Syria started back in 2020, and its formation and preservation was attributed the 2020-2023 La Nina Event ... and NOT caused by anthropogenic CO2 or any atmospheric carbon footprint molecule, being that there isn't much carbon in the atmosphere.
As far as goes the low carbon presence in today's atmosphere ...
In the Final Summation, the bottom line is that ...
... there was no all-inclusive worldwide engulfment of heat anomalies on the July 2024 day that was said to be the hottest one on record. There were heat anomalies in specific regional spots.
Moreover, there's not enough carbon in the atmosphere to cause an anthropogenic "carbon footprint." This means that there's not enough carbon in the sky to blame on any temperature anomaly on Earth.
And of course, the rebounded temperatures of the heated regions of July 2024 showed that there was no tipping of no return achieved. The End of Life on Earth was not activated.
No matter what, it was the 50 degree Fahrenheit heat dump upon Antarctica from the Stratosphere which was the decisive factor that made July 22nd 2024 recognized as the hottest day in recorded history. Not carbon footprint stuff and all of that other end-of-the-world propaganda.
Quite frankly, the end of the world of each individual climate activist will come much more quickly that the end of THE world.
High Heat, drought, and famine during very low CO2 years
Extreme heat transpired during the years when the CO2 was much much lower than it is today. This included ... as I stated in other posts ... 1896, 1901, 1905, 1911, 1921, 1922, 1934, and 1936, as well as Dallas in 1980.
Oh, then there were drought years that occurred centuries prior, such as the Tudor drought of the 16th Century. Even further back in time, there was the 1302 to 1307 CE drought, occurring when the Mini Ice Age had just started, circa 1280. It devastated northern Italy and Southern France.
This drought would soon be followed by the Great Famine of 1315 to 1321 CE, which affected Central Europe. In those centuries, atmospheric CO2 was very low. Therefore, you can't blame any natural disaster of that era and prior on the accumulation of CO2. In fact, you can't blame any disaster of the 17th and 18th Century on the atmospheric CO2 level, either.
Now, the other chemical compound greenhouse gases are too low in quantity to have any influence on the Earth's surface temperatures, in any capacity. Water Vapor is the most volumous greenhouse gas, and water is NOT something man-made.
Seventy percent of the Earth's surface is water, and water is NOT made from carbon. So, there is no carbon footprint involved with the most abundant greenhouse gas on Earth.
And don't forget about Cirrus Clouds which are ice crystals, and not water vapor:
Iraq & Morocco
Oh by the way, it's only fair to specifically note that, on July 22nd, 2024, Baghdad reached a high of 113F and Fez Morocco reached a high of 111F. But of course, those 100+ temps in the desert part of the Middle East have occurred repeatedly. In Baghdad, 111F has been repeatedly reached. In Saudi Arabia, 116F has. Welcome to the Real Planet Earth, and NOT to the Al Gore edition of it.
In addition, Hyderabad Pakistan has an average July high of 99F. On July 22nd, 2024, the Hyderabad Pakistan high temp was five degrees above average. But, that was a moderate temperature anomaly and not an end-of-the-world one, especially for a place so used to high July temperatures. None the less, for the sake of honesty, I mentioned this temperature.
It's also fair to note that Phoenix reached 109F on that day, but 107F is the average July high temp there. So, it was only 2 degrees Fahrenheit above normal in Phoenix, on the day which is supposedly the hottest one on record.
Also on July 22nd, it was at Hangzhou, the most populated city in Zhejiang Province, where it reached 104F. The July average there is 94F. So, Hangzhou was 10 degrees Fahrenheit above average.
However, the 2024 crop yield for the Hangzhou region was very successful, meaning that the July heat didn't kill the crops near there, as certain dishonest journals would have you believe.
In as much, it is a complete lie to say that global warming will kill crops. In fact, all plant life on Earth needs at least 180 parts per million of CO2 or there will be no more human life or mammalian life ... or bird life ... on Planet Earth. This includes grain crops, vegetable crops, and orchard yields in need of CO2, for photosynthesis.
Concerning this obsession with keeping glaciers in tact, I never saw a crop grow on a glacier, and I never saw an tree orchard grow one, either.
Add vineyards never having been seen growing on a glacier into the Reality Equation too, along with pumpkin patches and zucchini patches. In fact, rice fields are never found on glaciers, either. So, get your priorities in gear.
Even at that, Taiwan's crop yields have been declining in the 2020s, while the Philippine's Rice yields have been on the steady & moderate rise ... during the same 2020s. If Global Boiling due to CO2 really existed, then both nations would have increasingly declining crops. But, CO2 is something good.
And what truly happens when the CO2 level rises? ANS: Animals get bigger. Vegetation gets bigger. That observation was found in the fossil record.
In addition, there was a Springtime drought in Russia in 2024, and the crop yields for that year declined, by 14%, on a year-to-year measurement. Then, in 2025, crop yields rose 20%, making the past two years a time of 6% net gain. I've done yield reports before, and they are time-consuming.
And then there was the French grape crop yield which was cringingly lower than average in 2023 & 2024, due to dryness. Yet, in 2025, the French grape crops rebounded nicely.
The more epic example of rebound is in the record-breaking Italian wine grape crop yield of 2025, after less-than stellar yields in 2023 and in 2024.
This and numerous other examples of crop success on Earth, throughout the 2020s, show that Planet Earth did NOT reach any kind of tipping point of no return. Rather, the State of Planet Earth kept returning to an equilibrium point. Thus, the UN July 2023 claim that Planet Earth was going through Global Boiling was a shister's con artistry.
Even in 2023, there was a record-breaking water replenishment in California which shows that Planet Earth is NOT irrevocably broken. But of course, the Climate Propagandists simply regarded it as a once in a lifetime ... a once in a century ... and a once in a millennium occurrence. Lying has resulted in activists getting tons of taxpayer dollars ... or tons of donor funds.
In light of the aforementioned examples ...
... the bottom line is that there has been no worldwide end-of-the-world famine. Thus, the rise in CO2 did NOT result in worldwide crop failure, as the Al Gore People insinuated for the past decade. Rather, NASA reported in the 2010s that CO2 was causing Planet Earth to become greener.
The July 22nd 2024 Rossby Wave-induced event was no warning to mankind, especially in light of the assessment that the heat which made its way into the Stratosphere via those Rossby Waves was the remaining heat of an El Nino's eastward ocean currents which kept going eastward after the Equatorial currents turned westward once again.
That is to say, that the eastward El Nino current stopped pushing the warmth toward America, and then Rossby Waves formed, taking the warmth into the Stratosphere, in a three week process.
El Nino is nothing new. It's part of a long term trend, and long term trends are the opposite of Climate Change.
Mention needs to be made of the fact that the Arctic Ocean has not yet become ice-free in August, in any year since Al Gore's prediction of it occurring. It was predicted in the 2000s that the Arctic Ocean would become ice-free by 2014 ... and then, by 2018. The predictors were wrong.
In fact, in 1988, Jim Hansen told Senators that the Maldives were going to be go underwater, by 2018. But, he was as wrong as all of the other doomsayers.
As well, the glaciers of Glacier National Park are still there. Even Obama predicted that they would be gone by 2020. Well, this is one president who had the wrong advisors. BTW, remember that I'm a registered Independent unimpressed by both major American political parties.
None the less, if all the ice in the Arctic Ocean melted all at once, there would be zero sea level rise anyway, just as there is zero water level rise in a glass of iced tea, after all of the ice cubes in it melted.
Incidentally, the weather charts above were posted pursuant to 17 USC 107 ... the Fair Use Act ... being that they are being used here to teach whomever wants to be informed.
