Larsen Ice Shelf

This post covers the claim that July 4th, 2023 was the hottest day in human history, up to that time. As an important preliminary statement, concerning the newer claim that the hottest day in human history was now July 22, 2024, know this:

On July 22, 2024, Antarctica underwent an average temperature rise of 50.4 degrees Fahrenheit. It did not reach 50.4 degrees Fahrenheit in Antarctica. Rather, there was only an average temperature increase of 50.4 degrees ... for that one day.

On that same July day, the high temperature was -45F at the South Pole Station and -62F at the Vostok Station. The high was also -62F at the Concordia Station. Meanwhile, at the Marambio Base, the high was -2F, and at the Davis Base, the high was -4F.

Now, at the San Martin Base, the high got up to 28F, but on the following day, it didn't rise above 5F. At the Rothera Research Station, it also got up to 28F on July 22, 2024. But, on the following day, it didn't go above 9F. All in all, the Antarctic temperature rise was NOT a pattern. It came and it went.

It was only computer model simulation results

In addition, both of those two hottest-day assertions came only from computer simulations & estimates derived from the University of Maine's Climate Reanalyzer. They did NOT come from objective facts or direct temperature measurements. Those two assertions were two back-to-back April Fool's Jokes in July.

In fact, the Number 1 sign that those two high-temperature assertions were complete farces was the fact that nowhere on Earth was there a metropolis undergoing mass heat-related deaths on either one of those two days ... or on any day surrounding those two days.

Moreover, extreme heat days are accompanied by entire heatwaves that last longer than one day. In 1911 Europe, for example, a heatwave lasted for 70 days.

Now think. In Paris France, during the European heatwaves of 1911, 1976, and in 2003, there were a high number of civilian deaths. For example, 41,000 were said to have died in a 70 day period in 1911. Nothing close to this occurred on either July 4th, 2023 or on July 22nd, 2024 in any city.

There was also the 42 day heatwave of Dallas, in 1980, that resulted in 1,700 deaths amidst day after day of 100+ Fahrenheit temperatures. At the time, the atmospheric CO2 Count was 93 parts per million LOWER than today, at 338 ppm.

As of June 2026, CO2 is 431 ppm. Thus, if the Al Gore Climate Theory were true, then no deadly heatwave would have occurred 46 years ago, in 1980, or 115 years ago, in 1911 when the CO2 Count was 135 parts per million LOWER than it is today.

July 4th, 2023 Belated April Fool's Joke

The July 4th, 2023, temperatures around the rest of the world were scanned and scoured. The result was that there was no significant temperature rise outside of the southern polar cap. You can view quite a few of the July 4th, 2023 temperature reports, at this post. Simply scroll downward.

Unconscionable Con Artistry

The July 2024 polar temperature anomaly was a deceptive & unconscionable use of statistics, as was the 2023 one. The goal in all this is for scientists and political groups to be given more outrageously large sums of taxpayer dollars, in the name of Climate Adaptation & Research. For some reason, the 31 to 36 TRILLION dollar national debt at the time didn't phase them.

None the less, under Biden & Kamala, the US National Debt increased by 4 trillion dollars in one calendar year. Now, when Clinton left office in the Year 2001, after 212 years of constitutional government, the US National Debt was slightly over $4 Trillion. Yet, Joe & Kamala ... and the auto-pen ... achieved the exact same debt accrual in only one year and two weeks of time.

Being that polar temperatures cover a range of numbers longer than the temperature perimeters elsewhere on Earth, a rise in polar temps can make the global temperature average look like it's going out of control. Such a temporary rise in polar temperatures occur even when polar temperatures remain within the freezing mark after the rise in temps.

In as much, it is dishonest to include in the global temperature statistic average polar temperatures. There's much more to address, but we must go one step at a time. For now, come and see the deceptiveness of the July 4th, 2023, heat anomaly assertion.

End of prelim statement. Here is where the post originally began:

Let's review one of the many intelligence-insulting LIES of the Biden-Harris Years. It was also one in a long string of political con games, similar to:

<> The Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction Hoax <> The Russia Collusion Hoax <> The Gulf of Tonkin Speculation which resulted in the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution <> The Richmond FBI Latin Mass Infiltration memo <> the Duke Lacrosse Rape Hoax <> the Jussie Smollett Hate Crime Hoax <> the Joe-Biden-is-mentally-as-sharp-as-a-tack Hoax, <> The Piltdown Man Hoax, and so many other ones.

The hoax of the moment pertains to the claim that July 4, 2023 was the hottest day since ... since ... since ... who-knows-when. The explanations were irritatingly vague & contradictory, when coming from the media.

It's important to note, at this point, is that the Year 2023 had brutal record-breaking cold. This included a MINUS 108 degree Fahrenheit wind chill in New Hampshire.

That fact needs to sink inward deeply, during an era where politicians are telling humanity that the atmosphere is broken, and therefore, politicians must take control of every inch of Planet Earth, along with taking control of every person on the same Planet Earth ... as if the concept of Independence is a quaint & mistaken notion:

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/brutal-cold-seizes-northeast-us-shattering-record-lows-2023-02-04/

Let us review: At the end of 2023, in December, 60% China went through record-breaking cold:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-67818872

www.reuters.com/world/china/chinas-henan-province-hit-by-shortage-winter-heating-after-cold-wave-2023-12-24/

Even, in December of 2022, a couple weeks before the start of 2023, there was record-breaking cold on a national scale in America, with life-threatening wind chills:

https://www.foxweather.com/weather-news/everything-hurts-in-your-lungs-bitter-blast-of-cold-air-to-impact-most-of-the-country-into-next-week

Even concerning the Year 2021, from Feb 7 to Feb 21, there were 9,027 cold temperature records that were tied and surpassed. Plus, Antarctica had it coldest winter in recorded history, in 2021.

Antarctica had it coldest winter in recorded history, in 2021.

This was preceded by the 2015 discovery that the bottom of the Ross Ice Shelf was actually crystallizing and NOT melting.

The bottom line is that the coldest of the cold weather has been here, in the 2020s and in the 2010s, all along. It's simply that you had to put up with the Biden Administration in the first half of the 2020s. Biden always was a known liar, and Kamala was caught lying throughout her entire campaign. Those line-itemized details of their dishonesty are posted at the Blue Marble Album, too.

None the less, if the Al Gore CO2 Climate Theory were true, then there would only have been mild winters since his 2006 movie. However, there have been occasions of tremendous cold during that time span, and I have examples of such cold line-itemized in yet another post that is about to be posted, after further statistical review, as of June 2026.

In fact, during this time span of 2006 to 2026, where the temperature was supposed to be nothing but in the warming phase, I was in -7F and -11F weather in Chicago, during the late 2010s. I was even in a snowstorm of the northeast, where cars get trapped for consecutive days by high snow, as recently as in 2026.

The Weather has NOT been one-sided

The climate outside has not been one-sided, with heat only. It's simply that the media has been giving you only one side of recent weather events, hyper-exaggerating things in favor of the Global Warming Scare.

The Names has been changed to scare the People into Submission

Then, the scientists who have been seeking and getting outrageous sums of taxpayer dollars renamed Global Warming to Climate Change, at the behest of a certain "Climategate Email" Scandinavian scientist. This is because, in the late 2000s, there was no global warming. The warming didn't start back up until 2016, and even at that, it wasn't constant warming. Weather is like a roller coaster.

Next came the unofficial word, "weather bomb," to scare the People into thinking that the sky was falling. And of course, newscasters started using that made-up name.

For the record, a weather bomb is RAPID CYCLOGENESIS, where the the central pressure of a developing "extra-tropical" cyclone drops by at least 24 millibars in 24 hours. Now, extra-tropical means "outside of the Tropics latitudes." This defines any rotating air mass developing between the 30th and 60th parallels.

And then there is the phrase, Atmospheric River, coined in 1994. It sounded like the people below are about to get drowned from the sky.

Well an atmospheric river transports WATER VAPOR, and not the liquid stuff. In fact, water vapor is transported in a narrow corridor, as a natural mechanism by which the glut of water vapor being generated within the Tropics gets removed to latitudes further away from the Equator.

Now, an Atmospheric River is a strong flow of moist warm air. Thus, it usually results in rainfall, and not merely sprinkles or drizzle. But, the bottom line is that scientists in the hunt for taxpayer dollars have been making atmospheric science sound scary to the person unfamiliar with any aspect of atmospheric science.

It's the Fear Factor, designed to get the common people to demand that their politicians give tons of money to these scientists who made up replacement names for meteorological phenomenon that just didn't originally sound scary enough.

Visual effects, such as is illustrated below, were added, to scare the People into pestering their congresses and parliaments into shelling out even more vast sums of money to the scientists making the emotional ploys.

Below: German television photos from the First Day of Summer 2017 & 2022. They show how propaganda developed over a short period of time. Take note that 2022 was during the Biden-Harris years. The temps of the first day of Summer 2022 are much lower than the ones of 2017. Yet, the temps of 2022 are made to look like heatwave numbers. Fifteen out of sixteen of those temps were not.

Note: 22 Celsius = 71.6F 24 Celsius = 75.0F

26 Celsius = 78.8F 28 Celsius = 82.4F

Above: All but one temp on the 2022 map are pleasant summertime temperatures to us Americans. They should NOT be posted on a background of searing, heat-driven, global-warming-red.

The bottom line is that the coldest of the cold weather has been here, in the 2020s, all along. It's simply that you had to put up with the Biden Administration in the first half of the 2020s, along with others who will politely not be named herein.

Biden always was a known liar, and Kamala was caught lying throughout her entire campaign. The line-itemization of their deceit is posted at the Blue Marble Album, too.

None the less, if the Al Gore CO2 Climate Theory were true, there would only have been mild winters since his 2006 movie, with no massive cold weather records in the early 2020s. Instead, there have been occasions of tremendous cold during that time and during the 2010s, including:

1] England having its coldest winter in 32 years, in 2010 ... 2] Poland & Belarus having record breaking cold in 2010-11the USA having its coldest winter in 40 years, when the Year 2014 came around, and ...

add ... <> record cold in America, in 2013-14, in 2016, in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2026, as well as ... <> the coldest winter in the known history of Antarctica in 2021, ... <> as well as the highest known Antarctic sea ice maximum in 2021, and ... a numerous other cold weather occurrences, too numerous to mention in even a science paper.

https://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-facilities/goddard/antarctic-sea-ice-reaches-new-record-maximum/

The Worldwide Temperature Scorecard, for July 4th, 2023

It was originally reported as "the hottest day on Earth." That didn't sound right, so it was then reported as the day of the highest average global temperature. It was next reported as the "unofficial" temperature.

It then came to be regarded as the hottest day in history, even though DOZENS of official archived weather reports don't show this to have been the case in any capacity.

The reason for the hottest-day claim

It was on July 4th, 2023, when two Antarctic weather stations underwent an extreme temperature rise within a 36 hour period, with both of the stations' outdoor terrain remaining solidly frozen real estate.

The two stations together had a temperature increase of 86 degrees Fahrenheit, and such data can numerically make it look like Planet Earth is burning-up, even though the places of the temperature rise constitute frozen terrain. However, the combined average temperature between the two stations on that specific July 4th day was -33 degrees Fahrenheit. Such a ploy is a False-Light Deception. Such a ploy is a sleight of hand trickery.

Let us go through the names and the numbers.

One station was the Davis Station, situated on a coastline, at the 68th Parallel. This means that it's not deeply within the Antarctic Circle. It's average July high temperature is 7 degrees Fahrenheit, and its average July low temperature is -8F.

On Sunday, July 2nd ... 2023 ... within the 12pm-6pm time bracket, the temperature at Davis was -29F. Approximately 36-48 hours later, it was 21F. The temperature rose 50 degrees F. Yet, the outdoor air was eleven degrees below freezing.

The other Antarctic weather station involved in this sleight of hand deception was the Concordia Station, located 10,607 feet above sea level. This is one of the weather stations where epic cold transpires on a regular basis.

On Monday, July 3rd, within the 6pm-12am time bracket, Concordia was 90 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit. Within 24 to 30 hours, the temperature at Concordia was 54 degrees below zero. The temperature rose 36 degrees Fahrenheit in approximately one day's time.

When you add 36 & 50 you get an 86 degree Fahrenheit rise in temperature. If you have no conscience, and if you are looking to deceive Congress and/or an NGO into giving you outrageously large financial donations, then you'll make July 4th, 2023 look like a killer heatwave upon humanity. But, the only epic temperature rise on the planet was in the dead cold polar night of Antarctica's winter.

It was also a diversionary tactic that conveniently hid from the minds of American citizens the recent record cold & recent dam replenishments of 2023.

More importantly, the claim of the hottest day since whenever was a great diversionary tactic which could easily get the public to forget about the recent record cold temps of early 2023, as well as the seemingly miraculous 2023 water replenishment of the dams in California and elsewhere in the American West.

That water replenishment was equivalent to a cancer patient suddenly being cured. Yet, the replenishment was predicted by those of us ... including me ... who understood that the directional flow of the Pacific Ocean's equatorial currents oscillate ... and cause very predictable atmospheric behaviors.

Paris

A tragic heatwave that comes upon the same European landscape ... in intervals of time ... does NOT constitute any form of a never-before-seen global phenomenon. When the atmospheric CO2 level was undoubtedly low, there was summertime tragedy in Paris in 1911. There was the same type of tragedy there in 1976 and in 2003, when the CO2 level differed between the three years of Parisienne tragedy.

The truth is that whatever weather events on Earth happened in the past three years ... and in the past thirty years ... all happened previously. Mankind has repeatedly seen it ... over and over again and again ... even when the CO2 level was low. Therefore, that which Sigourney Weaver read at the 2016 Democrat Party Convention was one easily provable lie.

Moreover, the recurring Paris heatwave tragedy that dates back to 1911 was NOT an issue on the 4th of July, 2023. This is BECAUSE the high temperature in Paris on that day was only 72 degrees Fahrenheit. See for yourself.

London

Meanwhile, in London, a city claimed to be engulfed in greenhouse gas-induced flames, the high temperature for July 4th, 2023, was no more than 64 degrees Fahrenheit. It was 17.77 degrees Celsius there. That temperature comprises a Spring day in Pittsburgh ... or Philly ... or Cincinnati.

Despite the statistics, certain players of the UN, the Biden-Harris Administration, and the mainstream media acted as if the End of the World was at hand and that it was all the fault of people who drive automobiles, use gas stoves, own gas water heaters, and herd cattle. The political players had no idea how asinine & buffoonish they sounded in front of video & TV cameras, whenever they spoke.

Review of the temps of July 4th, 2023 throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere

As a quick preview, it was at the actual South Pole, in Antarctica, where it officially measured -67F to -81F on the day that was "unofficially" declared the hottest one since 1979 ... and later declared the hottest day in human history ... with that day being July 4, 2023.

Moreover, at the United States McMurdo Station, located very near the famous & exceptionally large Ross Ice Shelf, the high temperature there was a deadly MINUS 14 degrees Fahrenheit, with the low of that day being an even more deadly -28F ... on the 4th of July, 2023, of course.

Then there is the famous Vostok station. On July 4th, 2023, it was -56F at Vostok.

And Now to Africa

At Addis Ketema, Ethiopia, it was no more than 67 degrees Fahrenheit, on July 4th, 2023. On the northern border of Ethiopia is Eritrea. At Asmara Maekel, Eritrea, the temperature did not go above 77F, on the same July 4th day.

At Kampala Uganda, the temperature did NOT go above 75F, on that day. At Mbabune, Haut Uele, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the temperature did NOT go above 77F on the exact same day.

Of course, one would assume that the general Congo area is always blazingly hot. Well, it's not. Tanzania also has regions that are perpetually mild, as does Kenya and Ethiopia. In fact, there is a plateau in Nigeria where it doesn't get any hotter than it does in Pennsylvania, 5,000+ miles away.

In continuing, it was at Karachuonyo Kenya, on July 4th, where the temperature did NOT go above 78F. In Nairobi Kenya, the high temperature of 7/4/23 was only 68 degrees Fahrenheit. These African temperatures are equivalent to Springtime in Pennsylvania, and this shows that Africa is not a continent engaged in a wall-to-wall high temp climate crisis.

Concerning the absence of heat in regions of Africa, if all of Africa were as heated as the Climate Hysteria People make it out to be, then fur-clad mammals could not survive there. This includes the lion, the ocelot, the hyena, the monkey, the gorilla, the giraffe, the fennec fox, and the rock rabbit. Political activists don't think. They live on emotional surges.

Back in the USA

Let's take a look at Los Angeles in Southern California, as in "It never rains in Southern California." It should have at least been 90 degrees Fahrenheit in sunny LA, on the hottest day in satellite history. It was only 78 degrees Fahrenheit on that Fourth of July day, and that is equal to a late Springtime day in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ... or Columbus, Ohio.

The Mediterranean

Even Beirut Lebanon was 7 degrees Fahrenheit below its July average. Thus, on July 4th, 2023, Beirut was like a summer day in none other than . . . yes, you got it . . . Pennsylvania. So, where was all the "record-breaking heat" on July 4, 2023 ??? Beijing had a high temperature that day. But, Beijing is not the "whole world." Chicago had a hot day too, as did Seoul South Korea. But, Chicago & Seoul do not constitute the "whole world," either.

Past the Red Sea

Yemen borders on Saudi Arabia to the north and the Arabian Sea to its south. The Red Sea is to its left. So, a novice would assume that Yemen would be as hot as the interior desert lands, minus the area that gets the Arabian Sea Breeze. Well, on July 4th 2023, it was 74F at Shib al Murasysi.

And yes, it's always hotter in Pennsylvania on the 4th of July. For example, the July 4th temperature average for historic & tragic Gettysburg Pennsylvania is = = = => 85F. On July 4th (2023) it was officially 87F in Gettysburg. Two degrees Fahrenheit above average is NOT global boiling.

India is known for hot summertime temps

At the southwestern tip of India is Thiruvananthapuram. It used to be called Trivandrum, and it's still the capital of the State of Kerala. It's located at 9 degrees latitude. So, its between the Tropic of Cancer and the Equator. Surely it gets blazingly hot there. Well, not on July 4th, 2023. It was 84F there on that day. In fact, its historic July average high temp is 85F.

At this point, enter the center of Southern India, where it should be really really hot in the summertime. The city is Bengaluru, aka Bangalore. It's in the State of Karnataka, and its historic average July high temperature is no higher than 81F. On July 4, 2023, it was one degree BELOW average in Bangalore. That doesn't sound much like the hottest day in human history. That doesn't sound much like "global boiling."

Now enter Mumbai, the Indian city which was the recipient of a wave of terrorist attacks in November of 2008. It's India's most populated city. It's historic average July high temp is 86F. On July 4, 2023, it's high was 84F. Mumbai's hottest day in the entire month was no more than 2 degrees Fahrenheit BELOW average.

London England, the actual Tale of the Measuring Tape.

London England's July 4th, 2023 temps are the most influential of them all. And why? It's because the 2022 media went haywire, in FALSELY CLAIMING that CO2 was causing London to heat-up, dry-out, and burn so badly that the London Fire Brigade had it busiest day since WWII, on July 19, 2022. Well, a number of days in 1976 and in other 20th Century months were more busy for the LFB than was July 19th, 2022.

None the less, on July 19, 2022 it was boldly proclaimed that London was on the verge of charred annihilation and that all of the Earth was now in a Climate Crisis. This means that the Year 2023 was guaranteed to be just as hot and dry as 2022 was in London for a four or five day period.

In as much, what was London's high temperature, during the July 2023 day which was declared to have been the hottest day in known history? Was it over a hundred degrees Fahrenheit in London?

ANS: Not at all. It was 64 degrees Fahrenheit in London, on July 4, 2023. The low nighttime temperature for that particular day was 57F. That's equivalent to a chilly Spring day & a mild Spring night in Pennsylvania, USA.

London's high temp for July 1st, 2023 was 72F. For July 2nd, it was 68F. For Monday, July the 3rd, London's high temp was 68F. No heatwave there.

Then, on July 19th, 2023 ... on the one-year anniversary of the London-is-burning-due-to-greenhouse-gas story, the temperature in hot hot London was no more than .... 72F ... with the humidity being 52% ... and with the barometer reading 29.98 Hg ... and with a windspeed being 11.807 miles per hour, between the hours of 12pm & 6pm. After 6pm, the humidity rose to 61%. That's NOT global boiling, by the way.

Below: July 1 to July 6, 2023. No infernal temperatures here.

One year after all of the End-of-the-World-in-London hype, the high July temperatures ... day after day in London ... were only in the 70s Fahrenheit. The journalism of July 19, 2022 was shear fraud.

Below: July16 to July 21, 2023: The Anniversary of a Lie

That unconscionable deceit of the Greater London Story is covered at the Blue Marble Album, in two detailed posts, with numerous illustrations contained within, including some of the Incidents Report pages from the London Fire Brigade, itself:

https://www.bluemarblealbum.com/2024/05/July2022-official-greater-london-fire-stats.html

Elsewhere

Bogota Columbia had a high of 68F, on that exact same July 4th day. With this having been cited, answer one question: Where was all the excess heat on July 4, 2023???

Mexico also has been known to have hot temperatures. Yet, on July 4th 2023, it didn't go above 79F in Mexico City, as was the case with Metepec, Mexico.

Meanwhile, the high temp in Fresnillo, Zacatecas, Mexico was only 73F. It is literally hotter during any given Pittsburgh summer day, and Pittsburgh is 1,500 miles north of Fresnillo.

Being that it's Wintertime in the Southern Hemisphere in July, no Southern Hemispheric city or town is cited below. No Russian or Scandinavian city is cited, either. And no Canadian city is cited herein.

None the less, Planet Earth doesn't appear to be the End-of-the-World inferno it was made out to be, by those who, under Biden & Harris, planned to confiscate your gasoline-powered car, your gas stove, and then your gas water heater, followed by your gas-powered central heating unit, otherwise known as your furnace. Look, perceive, and be liberated.

Above: On July 4th, 2023, it was -56F to -60F, at the Vostok Station.

Below: The actual South Pole, it got no hotter than -78F on the 4th of July, 2023. It dipped as low as -87F ... on what was claimed to be the hottest day in some type of history of the Earth thing.

Below: McMurdo had a high temp of -14, on the 4th of July 2023.

Below: Africa ... On July 4, 2023, Nigeria's Jos South Plateau had a high temp of 78F. That does NOT constitute Global Boiling.

Below: The high temp in Addis Ketema, ETHIOPIA was only 67F, on the 4th of July, 2023.

The high temp for Nairobi Kenya, on July 4, 2023, was only 68F. That's a Springtime temp.

At Kendu Bay Karachuonyo, in Homa Bay KENYA , 78F was the high temp on 7/4/23.

Below: On July 4, 2023, at Mbabune, Haut-Uele, in the Congo, the high temp there was 72F.

Below: In Kampala Uganda, on July 4, 2023, the high temperature there was 75F.

Below: In Hharwetaay Kalvari, TANZANIA, on 7/4/23, the high temperature there was 64F.

Below: Frainjanes Guatemala. On 07/04/2023, the high temp there was 73F.

Below: Los Angeles reached no higher than 78F on 7/4/23.

The Middle East

Below: Any place bordering Saudi Arabia should be ablaze with climate-crisis heat. Well, not Yemen. That's for sure. At Shib al Muraysi, the high temp there was 74F. Needless to say, that's equal to Springtime in Pittsburgh.

Below: A high temp of 76F next to Saudi Arabia is nowhere near a climate crisis.

Now for L'Espagna & L'Italia, as well as Aveiro, Portugal

It was 72F in Aveiro Portugal, on the 4th of July, 2023. This is NOT how the world is going to end. This is NOT Global Boiling

Below: It was only 70F on July 4th, 2023, in Brescia, Italy. There was no global boiling here, folks.

Below: Catalonia, Girona, Spain. 79F on July 4th, 2023 is not an end-of-the-world temperature.

Below: A Cesta, A Coruna, Spain. 73F on the day declared the hottest since who knows when. The July 4th, 2023 claim is more like an April's Fool's Joke.

Below: India & Indonesia

This was once known as Bangalore, India. It's now Bengaluru.

Below: The capital of the State of Kerala. It was once known as Trivandrum. It's now known as Thiruvananthapuram. And 84 degrees Fahrenheit is NOT global boiling. It's summer vacation weather.

BELOW: Mumbai is the Indian city with the largest population, at 12.5 million, in the 2010s. It's located on the west coast of India. It's average July high temp is 86F. On the 4th of July, 2023, its temperature was two degrees Fahrenheit below average.

Below: Iritty, Kerela, India. 77F on July 4, 2023 is not an end-of-the-world temperature.

Below: Tinggimoncong, South Sulawsei, Indonesia. It's located at the southern section of Borneo's middle island. It's July 4th, 2023, temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit is NOT a heat stroke temperature.

Below: Tragic Beirut. Once upon a time, it was the most beautiful city in the Middle East. But of course, envy kills.

Beirut's historic average high temp for July is 88F. Thus, it has been known to get very hot there. But NOT on July 4, 2023 or on any day surrounding July 4th, 2023. In fact, from June 28 to July 4th, Beirut's high temperature each day was six to seven degrees Fahrenheit BELOW AVERAGE ... in 2023, of course.

Below: Somewhat center of the northern border of Turkiye is Giresun. No heatwave there, on 7/4/23. It was like summertime in Ohio on that day, there.

Below: Let's go to Sri Lanka, the island southeast of India. It used to be called Ceylon. There's a major city there, called Ratnapura, In Sanskrit, it means, City of Gems.

It's located in the southwestern sector, about 6 or 7 latitudinal degrees above the Equator. It can get hotter there than in the average city, but not on July 4, 2023. The high for that day was 82F. That was like summertime in Pennsylvania.
