The Great South American Heatwave Hoax of 2023

It was a super big media alarm.  The End of the World was coming.  Oh my!  An untold, unprecedented, unparalleled, unimaginable, unquenchable, and unbearable heatwave was menacing South America, during its Winter of 2023.  The central focal point of time was August 1st of that year.  

Santiago was reported as being a place of oppressive & "sweltering heat," all the while creating plumes of deadly smog over the city ... even though smog is simply ground-level ozone and is NOT formed the way in which journalists uneducated in atmospheric science claim.  

None the less, also put on display was Vicuna, Coquimbe (in Chile).  It was reported to have reached 99F there, on August 1st, 2023, in the middle of the Southern Hemispheric winter ... NOT.   It was only 63 degrees Fahrenheit there, on that day, pursuant to professional meteorological record-keepers.  The mainstream TV & Print media outright lied.  

Predictably enough, this trend of FALSE weather reports occurred under the Biden Administration.  The goal was to deceive the world into believing the Year 2023 was the hottest year ever.  This would then allow the Biden Administration and the UN to possess dictatorial powers upon the West.  

 The  Fraudulence of CNN

It was then mentioned by none other than the less-than-honest CNN that 100F+ temperature readings were occurring throughout South America in early August of 2024.  However, the meteorological companies  such as Accuweather & the Weather Channel tell a much more tame story.

Immediately below is part of a CNN article, also posted pursuant to the US Fair Use Act.  It's a report on the August temperatures in Chile.  Take note that it states:  "dozens of stations are recording their highest ever temperatures in the first half of August."  The mention of 100F temperature readings is included in that wintertime news article.  

Okay then.  Where is the list of the weather stations involved?  Where are the official stats, data, charts, calendars, graphs, reports, briefings?  Where's the evidence of this global boiling winter?  Were people being hospitalized by the tens of thousand in those areas?  Were people dying by the thousand there? 

People were dying by the thousand in Paris France, in the Summer of 1911.  Paris in 1976 and 2003 were tragic summers, also.  So, if South America in the Winter of 2023 was not like Paris in 1911, then the recent news reports were a collective fraud via sensationalistic hyper-exaggeration ... done by media employees who needed to be fired immediately.

Below is actually one of many Doomsday passages in the CNN Book of the Apocalypse.  This is countered by over 31 pieces of evidentiary support, all posted here.  Let us begin.  Shall we?

                              *************************************************

This makes it sound as if South America ... between the 30th and 35th Parallels ... has become an apocalyptic inferno that demands an immediate environmental response by which all humans are to surrender all of their rights and then do whatever they are told to do.  Santiago is on the 33rd Parallel.  In North America, the 33rd Parallel passes through the middle of Arizona, New Mexico, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and South Carolina.   That's warm weather land. Thus, expect no Arctic temperatures in the Southern Hemisophere's 33rd parallel degree, either..

Moreover, the Tropics are located at 23 degrees ... north and south.  And of course, the Tropic of Capricorn travels through northern South America, meaning that the temperatures will also be at least warm ... even in wintertime.  Even concerning the Tropics, there is no concept of "warm season/cold season" there.  There is Dry Season and Wet Season, instead.

All in all, if August temps are between 55F and 75F in the vicinities ranging from Santiago to Vicuna, then you have no end-of-the-world scenario.  You have average --- the mean --- the median -- the mode.  You have   You only have con artist journalists who need to have their FCC licensing revoked from their establishment.  

Such an entity also needs to be served with a major class action lawsuit, for the Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, especially upon the school students told horrors about the weather which has been nothing more than a repeat of the 1930s, 1920s, 1890s, and 1870s.  After all, history repeats itself and climate is CYCLICAL. 

CNN did NOT pass the Carl Sagan Test

Now remember, "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." (Carl Sagan)  In as much, where is the picture of the thermometer which recorded a 99F or a 100+ degree reading in Wintertime Chile? Where are all the certifications of all of these "hottest day ever" assertions? 

Concerning Santiago's "smog" and "sweltering heat," it was officially reported by meteorological professionals that Santiago was "foggy" ... and NOT smoggy ... on August 1st --- with a 72F to 74F high temperature and a 39F low.  Someone lied once again to humanity, in an intentional act to create emotional distress and to maybe get some of that US Congressional funding sent their way.

Immediately below are three reports of Santiago, for August 2023, posted pursuant to the Fair Use Act.  One of from the world famous Weather Channel.  Another is from the equally known Accuweather.  The third one is the reading at the international airport in Santiago.  No 100F heat there, folks.  No 90F heat there, either.  No 82F, 84F, or 86F heat there, as well, concerning August of 2023.  The only brutal heat in Santiago was the heat coming out of the engines of the passenger jets there.

Take note as to how low the nighttime temps were in the general and even specific vicinities of Vicuna and Santiago.  They were sometimes near the freezing mark.

  

*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   

Below:  Now for JULY.  Specifically, Santiago in July of 2023, pursuant to the Weather Channel.  CNN said it was blazing hot there, in July & August of 2024.  CNN lied.   There were NO 90F days there; NO 80+ Fahrenheit days, either.  Moderate temps only.  CNN needs to have its FCC licensing REVOKED.

BELOW:  Now for Accuweather's report on Santiago, for July 2023.  CNN lied with such audacity that it's FCC licensing should have been revoked.  However, the corrupt are in power at present, and the corrupt always keep the equally corrupt in power.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆

A town near Santiago would have close to the same temperature as did Santiago.  Thus, the nearby town of Puento Alto could confirm if any placee near Santiago was brutally hot.  It wasn't.  Puento Alto reported 72F as the high temperature on August 1st.

Below:  Another two Puente Alto weather reports for the months of July and August 2023.  These are two products of the world renown Weather Channel.  According to this report, it was 73F or 74F in Puente Alto, on Tuesday, August 1st, 2023.  That's NOT sweltering heat.

We begin with the August 2023 calendar, so that you can see immediately that August 1st near Santiago was only in the low 70s Fahrenheit.  This is more evidence that the media reporters lie and lie and lie again.

Below here:  Take note how mild the July temperatures were, also!!!  You need to come to terms with the reality that the modern media lies.  Proof is that it never allows climate debates.  Media info is rigged info.

We next go to Vicuna ... in Chile, below here.  Now, the commercial media reported it as having been 99F there, in the middle of wintertime, on Aug 1st, 2023.  The reality is that both the world renown Weather Channel and the equally known Accuweather Corporation reported Vicuna as having had a temperature no higher than 63 degrees Fahrenheit, on August 1, 2023.   This is more proof  that the mainstream media lies to humanity on ... apparently ... a regular basis.

When it comes to discerning the truth about the claim of Vicuna Coquimbo's high temperature as of August 1, 2023, the tale of the tape will be found in [1] the temperatures of the towns surrounding Vicuna, [2] and in the temperatures of the days leading to August 1st, 2023.

BELOW:  Accuweather's official record from June25th, 2023 to August 5th, 2023.  On July 29th, it was 56F there.  That's moderately chilly, for those of you who are used to the metric system.  None the less, on July 30th, it was 60F there.  On July 31st, it was 59F.  This is the weather that compels a person to wear a windbreaker.  In the Fahrenheit System.  80F is quite warm.  86F is hot.  95 is quite hot.  And 110F is the desert.  

All in all, according to the most famous weather networks, CNN lied about South America, in August of 2023.  There are a whole list of "climate lies" that have been told, ever since Al Gore received an award for a movie which is an insult to the intelligence of anyone who studied Atmospheric Physics.  That movie is a chump change joke of zero educational value.

Below is the weather report for August 1st (2023), only.  The report was that Vicuna was only 24C.  Now, 24C = 75F.  That's 24F lower than what the media reported.  In fact, the Weather Channel & Accuweather reports were 36F lower than what the media reported. 

Below:  Towns relatively close to Vicuna

If Vicuna were 99F on August 1st, then nearby towns would have been unusually hot, also.  Let's start with PAIGUANO, 11.8 miles away from Vicuna,.  Surely two cities less than 12 miles apart from each other would have the same weather and temperatures.  Well, according to well-known Accuweather, on the day when the media reported Vicuna as having reached 99 degrees Fahrenheit, Paiguano's high for that same day was only 63 degrees Fahrenheit (17.2C).  In fact, throughout the entire month of July ... and throughout the first five days of August 2023, the temperature at Paiguano did NOT exceed 69F (20.5C) ... according to the same Accuweather meteorological service.  That is a 42-day period.  Where is this 100F heat that CNN said was out there?

Below is what worldweatheronline reported about Paiguano, for Tuesday August 01, 2023.  And it is the same Paiguano which is situated in the Region of Coquimbo, Chile, 12 miles away from Vicuna.

24C = 75F.  That's NOT a heatwave temperature.

One more temperature record of neighboring Paiguano is below.  This one is by the Weather Channel.  Where is all of the End-of-the-World heat that the mainstream media reported?  According to the world famous Weather Channel, nearby Paiguano was only 63 degrees Fahrenheit, and not anywhere near 99F.  Do you yet see how much and how badly today's mainstream media lies?  Do you see how some TV networks need to have their FCC licensing revoked?

Below:  Let's go next to Ovalle which happens to be 49 miles away from Vicuna.  Therefore, if there were a widespread heatwave, Ovalle could have reflected this.  However, it did not do so.  Ovalle was NOT reported as having had any 90+ Fahrenheit day in July or in early August 2023, by any weather website.  In fact, it didn't even register an 80F day, between June 25 to August 5, 2023.  The Weather Channel reported Ovalle as having had a 71F high temp on Aug 1, 2023.

Keep in mind that this is the July 2023 report.  This means that the report for Tuesday, August 1 high temp is in the bottom row here.  The first five days of August are reported in that row.

Next comes Accuweather's report on Ovalle, for the First of August, 2023.  63F on August 1st.  Now, Ovalle may get visited by true heatwave temperatures next week, but it didn't get visited by searing heat in late July or in early August.  The August 1 high temp report is at the bottom row of this calendar, along with the first five days of August.  This is because the calendar below is the one for July 2023.  It's here, instead of the August 2023 calendar, so that you can see that there was no "global boiling" transacting in Ovalle, during July, leading up to August 1st.  As you can see, there was no 100F days there, in July of 2023.  

Below:  Another town near Vicuna is Pisco Elqui.  It's 24 miles from Vicuna.  So, if Vicuna had blazing heat, then so too would have nearby Pisco Elqui.  Well, on August 1st, 2023, Pisco Elqui was said to have been only 63F according to the world famous Weather Channel & Accuweather corporation.   So, where's all the End-of-the-World heat?  

Below: Accuweather reported the exact same temperature for Pisco Elqui as did the Weather Channel.  No 100F temps there, and no debate here.   Only lies from CNN and similar intruders upon the modern mind exist.

Below:  Next is Andacollo Coquimbe.  It's approximately 26 miles from Vicuna.  The Weather Channel claimed that the August 1, 2023 high temperature there was only 63 degrees Fahrenheit.  That amounts to 36 degrees LESS THAN the 99F reported by the mainstream media as having occurred at nearby Vicuna.  

Below: Accuweather concurred with the Weather Channel ... or visa-vera.  Andacolla's high for August 1st, 2023 was only 63F.  Both mainstream weather services agreed that there was no 80+F day and no 90+F day in Andacollo, from late June to Early August.  

Below:  Also near Vicuna is La Serena, 35-40 miles away.  Now, if you have 99F in one town, then you will have nearly as hot a temperature 40 miles away.  The La Serena temp for Aug 1st was 63F, according to the Weather Channel.  That's 36 degrees Fahrenheit lower than what was reported by the mainstream media, for Vicuna.  This is yet another confirmation that the media of today is operated by liars who need to be fired at once.

Below is another weather chart report on the same La Serena, also in calendar form.  It concurs with the chart above.  Both weather agencies claim that it was 63F in La Serena on the day when nearby Vicuna was supposed to have been 99F.

As was previously stated, the extremely famous Carl Sagan designated the measuring rule to be thus:  "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."  And of course, CNN and the other climate hysteria networks showed zero evidence to support their over-the-top claims.  Concerning CNN mentioning the creation of smog in Santiago, the professional meteorologists mentioned Santiago having --- NOT smog.  

Now, the greatest smog disaster ever ... which occurred in Donora Pennsylvania, in 1948 ... occurred due to a thermal inversion in late OCTOBER, when chilly autumn weather was present.  In a thermal inversion, the cold temps are at the surface, and the warmer temps are above the cooler temps.  To attribute a cloud of hovering smog to a heated day shows that the writer knows nothing about basic atmospheric science, even though he/she presents himself/herself as an expert with a degree of knowledge above and beyond "the little people."

"Smog" is a phrase that was originally used to describe the combination of fog & smoke during the days of heavy European coal use.  Heat does NOT cause smog.  Photochemical reactions do, and nitrogen oxides are ingredients involved.  Classical Smog is basically ground-level ozone (surface-level ozone) that needs cooler temps.  Furthermore, when it comes to photochemical smog, sunlight is required for that type of smog to materialize.  More weather reports on Santiago are posed here, in addition to the ones above,  just to prove that CNN is nothing more than a corporation of liars. who need to be put out of business.  This can be done by boycotiing every product advertised on CNN.

Note: 24C = 75F ... 18C = 64F ... 12C = 53F.

Above:  According the this weather agency, it was only 72F on Tuesday, August 1st, 2023.  This proves CNN to have been a liar, in claiming that Santiago was going through never-before-seen "sweltering heat." 

Below confirms CNN's dishonesty, too.  It was 72F in Santiago on August 1st.  No "sweltering heat" was there, contrary to what the liars at CNN stated.  And of course, CNN needs to fire every liar.

Now, for Buenos Aires

The mainstream media specifically mentioned how Buenos Aires got caught in the alleged South American heatwave of 2023 with a heat wave of untold proportions, as well as it reaching into Uruguay in general.  

Okay then, for my first trick, ladies & gentlemen of the jury, I will show you a professional temperature report of none other than hot hot Buenos Aires!!!  Needless to say, it's posted pursuant to the Fair Use Act.  Look for yourself and see ... See how full of crap the modern media and climate activists are.  In thirty-six days out of forty-two days there, there were only high temperatures in the 50s & 60s Fahrenheit.  This is not any kind of climate crisis for that region at any time.

Below is another professional monthly temperature report about hot hot Buenos Aires, dating from June 26 to Aug 5, 2023.  This one is from the world renown Weather Channel.  Look for yourself.  How many hot were there, in August of 2023?

Below:  The city across the river from Buenos Aires.  If Buenos Aires were as hot as the media claimed, then the city across the Rio de la Plata would be as hot.  That city is Colonia del Sacramento, in Uruguay.  In a 42 day period, ranging from June 25 to August 6, 2023, the city across from "hot hot" Buenos Aires had a high in the 50s for 20 of those days, along with a high in the 60s on 15 of those days.  Zero days were in the 80s or 90s.  So, where is this heatwave the media obsessively reported?

Below: Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay once again, for confirmational & concurrence purposes.

Above:  In a 42 day period, 17 days had highs in the 50s, 15 days had  highs in the 60s, and even 2 days had highs in the 40s ... Fahrenheit, of course.

Below: Uruguay most definitely was mentioned in the commercial news reports as having been hit with massive heat this past Winter.  Let's next present the July/Aug temps of the largest city there.  That is Montevideo.  Below are the temps there, as of late June to early August 2023.   It shows the South American heatwave report to have been more dishonest than the 2009 Climategate emails.   Half of the highs were in the 50s Fahrenheit in Montevideo, and almost a third were in the 60s there.  See for yourself, below:

Below is another professional temperature calendar of Montevideo Uruguay, between late June and early August 2023.  In as much, where is this highest-temperature-ever South American heatwave?  

BTW, cities near the Tropics do NOT count, in claiming "global boiling" heat.  This is because the Tropics are the hottest places on Earth, next to valleys at the base of the leeward side of mountain ranges ... and the African Sahara.  Thus, high temps are usual for the Tropics.  Heatwaves involve heat anomalies.

Let's now go toward the center of Uruguay, to Durazno.  Keep in mind that the media claimed that even Uruguay was getting pounded with heat in July and August of 2023.  Between June 25th and August 5th, Durazno had four days with highs in the 40s, 18 days with highs in the 50s,  and 11 days with highs in the 60s ... Fahrenheit.  No 99F days.  No 89F days.  No 79F days.  That's not a climate crisis.  That's NOT Global Boiling.  Look for yourself:

Now, there was a place in central Argentina which did have an unexpected heatwave of note.  That, alone, would have been enough subject matter for the climate hysteria people to have reported.  But apparently, the climate folk had to "pour it on" and expand the perimeters of the heatwave, in order to scare you into submission.  This was apparently done, so that they will get a handsome share of that multi-billion dollar US congressional "climate funding."  

In order to get a large amount of taxpayer-indebted money from the US Congress, you have to deceive people into thinking that the world is coming to an end and it needs you to save it.  Keeping people stupid and easily deceived is absolutely necessary for you.   CNN works hard to accomplish the task of keeping modern humanity completely stupid and utterly mindless.

None the less, any true heat during July & Aug 2023 can all be attributed to El Nino, and NOT to the burning of fossil fuels.  As I illustrated in a previous post, El Nino can also be attributed as the cause of the lack of high velocity Atlantic Hurricanes.  El Nino brings wind shear power to the Atlantic.  And of course, Hurricane Lee was a prime example of El Nino taming a hurricane.  

In as much, climate is extremely intricate.  It's not the simpleton version presented by Al Gore to the English-speaking world in 2006.  That movie was an insult to one's intelligence.  The way of the climate activist is the way of hyper-exaggerating everything so much so that it becomes a ridiculous lie.  The climate activists blow everything out of proportion.  

Now, 2023 did have a "heat anomaly summer" attached to it.  In fact, 2023 had three heat anomaly months in a row.  But, it was not more severe than were the heatwave years of ~2012, ~tragic 2003, ~1988-90, ~1980, when Dallas had 42 consecutive days of 100+ Fahrenheit heat, ~tragic 1976, ~the Hurricane Hazel year of 1954, ~searing hot 1934-36, ~the Arctic ice melting years of 1921-22, ~the undertaker overtime year of 1911, ~the grape vine withering year of 1901, etc.   

And let us not forgot the heat of 1895-96, when the co2 count was quite low, proving that a rise in co2 is NOT the cause of heatwaves. Additional proof that 2023 was not as bad as the other heatwave years of the past 140 years consists in the fact that you ... your friends ... your family ... your acquaintances ... are still alive.  

Plus, 2023 ever-so-coincidentally fits the 11 Year Sunspot Cycle Theory which is still only in "theory status."  And concerning this, the high heat does NOT come in tandum with high sunspot activity.  Yet, there is a reasonable pattern of note ... with the high temperature years which are subject to the direction of the Equatorial ocean current; if weather it is travelling Eastward or Westward, as in "El Nino" v "La Nina."  

Yes, temps are subject to the existence of the Sun.  But, the determining factor of temps throughout the Earth is dependent upon the directional flows of the nearest ocean areas.  Ocean current directions explains why Ireland basically gets moderate/mild winter and why Southern sectors of Greenland remain ice-free all year round.

Then comes the matter of upwelling and down-welling.  The east-west direction of ocean water is not all that matters.  The upward & downward directions of ocean water is a determining factor, too.

In review, 2023 was very close to the heatwave year of 2012, eleven years prior ... as in "Eleven Year Cycle."  In addition, 2023 also had record cold in the first half of the year, as well as seemingly miraculous water replenishment and snowpack accumulation in the American West.  It was a fraud to claim that the American West was undergoing a continued drought in 2023.  Moreover, the American West has Monsoon Season.

The "Iceless Arctic" Prediction ... that goes back to 1988 ... and gets recycled continuously

In review, if the Summer of 2023 were the hottest year in the last 125,000 ... or even 7.5 milllion years ... the Arctic Ocean would have been ice-free at the time of this writing.  

BELOW:   National Snow & Ice Data Ctr / NASA Earth Observatory, as of Aug 11, 2023.

For those of you who are products of the American Public School System, look below and know that you are looking at an official visual report of "a Hell of a lot of ice."  Yet, this year has the twelfth lowest amount of sea ice on top of the Arctic Ocean, since the satellite era began.  This means that ALL late summer sea ice extent volumes were large.  The lowest amount of Arctic ice cover ... in 2012 ... was an area of ice which had a perimeter equal to flying from NYC to Minneapolis to Houston to Miami, and back to New York City.  It was also the size of the subcontinent known as India.  That is a large chunk of ice, even though it was the smallest chuck in recorded history..

Most importantly is that fact that, even if all of the ice on the Arctic Ocean would suddenly turn into water, the sea level rise would be zero . . . just like when the ice cubes in your iced tea completely melt.  No water rises over the top of your glass.

 

Above:  The Arctic as of August 11, 2023.  Now, the daily July average ...  (actually, the 1981-2010 median) ... of Arctic Ocean ice-melt is 27,000 to 33,606 square miles.  The daily Arctic ice loss for July 2023 was 36,000 square miles.  Now, that's not the End of the World.  Yet, [1] politicians seeking to bring money into their districts, [2] grant-seeking scientists, [3] audible activists, and [4] media personnel hyper-exaggerated this recent 6-months-of-daylight in the Arctic, making it sound like the End of the World.  

In review:  At the end of August 2023, the Arctic Sea Ice Extent was 2.15 million square miles.  That's 19 Arizonas ... or 28 South Dakotas ... or 41 Louisianas ... or even 172 Marylands, when laid side by side, like jigsaw puzzle pieces.       

It's no longer a matter of proving the Michael Manns & Al Gores of the era to be wrong.  It's a matter of procuring False Claims Act filings in federal civil actions, as well as grand larceny theft-by-deception indictments in federal criminal actions.  These people have been inciting violence which is now evidenced by the recent "blessings given" by a climate activist to any of today's youths who will commit terrorism in the name of the climate agenda which basically comprises shutting down society . . . shutting down humanity.

And of course, keep in mind that Al Gore NEVER won a Nobel Prize in Physics (science.)  Only the Peace Prize.  Meanwhile, the Nobel Prize that Michael Mann claims to have co-won was also NOT the Nobel Prize in Physics (science.)  And Mann is not a nice Mann.  Peace is not his most viable asset.  Disturbing others tremendously is.  

Michael Mann should win the Anti-Peace Prize.  After all, he is inciting congressional financial irresponsibility and he is inciting violence.  He tries to make people feel desperate and to believe that co2 is actually going to make the world come to an end.  Well, co2 below 150 ppm will result in the extinction of all species ... starting with plant-life.  

At present, according to Hawaii, we are at the 420 ppm range.  The Ordovician Ice Age, by the way, occuring when the co2 level was 4,000 ppm ... over nine times higher than today.  And the explosion of life throughout the oceans of the Earth occurred during the Cambrian Period, when the atmospheric co2 count was 7,000 ppm.  So, there was 7,000 v. 4,000 v. 420.  

The opposite of what Al Gore and the Doomsday Sayers claimed about the effects of high co2 occurred.  They predicted the disintergration of shell fish.  Well, shell fish flourished during the time of the highest count of atmospheric co2 in Planet Earth's atmosphere.  Plus, an ice age occurred during a time when the co2 count was NINE times higher than today.  You have been taught easily provable falsehoods.

Proof that Michael Mann is a public liar:  https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/michael-manns-false-nobel-claim-charles-c-w-cooke/

Plus, it would only be proper to revoke from CNN its FCC license, for lying as a matter of habit.  After all, its newscasts are propaganda pieces.  They are infomercials.  Those "reports" are basically "in kind" donations to certain candidates of a certain political party.  After all, they are free campaign ads, telling everyone how evil the political opponents are, while stating how just and moral are the politicians benefitting by CNN's completely bogus propaganda pieces.

Procuring the highest extent of punishment allowed by civilized society upon climate con artists engulfed in a racket is needed.  These con artists have gone beyond the Sound Barriers of Obscenity.  They will be coming for your tax money ... your natural gas stove and your natural gas furnace ... and let us not forgot your grocery merchandise in your refrigerator.

The Claim of 101F Florida Ocean Water Is 101% Fraud. It was Everglade "run-off" water from the "Taylor Slough" & Mangrove Swamp.

The real ocean water in the vicinity, at the time, was 86F, instead.

The following has been written by an alumnus of one of Florida's coastal universities.  And of course, every coastal university in Florida had an oceanography department.

On July 25th & 26th, media outlets of all categories were reporting that ocean water off of South Florida reached a record-breaking high temperature of 101F, and that this was proof that the planet is in a climate crisis.  The UN Sec-Gen claimed that Planet Earth was now in the phase of Global "Boiling."

The media then mentioned that this 101F reading was at Manatee Bay, as if Manatee Bay were a large and integral part of the Atlantic Ocean.  Therefore, take note that Manatee Bay is a shallow and insignificant shoreline basin that is NOT even worthy to be named on Florida maps.  It's inside of "Barne's Sound," near a Hwy 1 bridge.

Now, the media stated that the 101F reading came from a buoy.  This deceptively made it sound as if the 101F temperature existed three or four miles away from the Florida shoreline.  The reality is that the 101F temperature came from estuary water which, in turn, was actually Everglade run-off water from Mangrove Swamp ... and even water from something known as the Taylor Slough.  All in all, the measurement was that of swamp water, very near shore and very near Hwy 1 which is also called, the South Dixie Hwy.   

On the day reported, the true nearby ocean water was 86F, and this temperature was about three degrees BELOW average.  That amounts 15 degrees Fahrenheit LESS THAN the crisis-stage temperature falsely reported.   It's time for some journalists to be fired.    . 

Plus, the media also reported that the area underwent coral bleaching.  Stop there.  Another false light deception.  Penalty marker time.  This only happened in Islamadora which is 18 miles southwest of Key Largo.  It is located on the main archipelago, and it's known for its "fly fishing."  

Key Largo is also on the same archipelago.  Across the Florida Bay from Key Largo is Mangrove Swamp, and in between the two places is Cross Keys.  Lots of keys in the Florida Keys, and lots of run-off water too.

Posted directly below here is a second map, in order to clarify how much of a deliberate farce this 101F report was and is.  The bottom line is that the news media was reporting on SWAMP run-off water ... and NOT Atlantic Ocean water which is technically on the southeastern side of the South Florida Archipelago where one finds Key Largo and Key West.  Furthermore, if you travel southwest from Key West, you will find yourself in the Florida Straits which pass northern Cuba.

On the map above, Manatee Bay is located where the red circled #4 is located.  Take note that it's semi-surrounded to its east,  by a small archipelago.  North Key Largo is at the top righthand side of this map, on the main archipelago.  Key Largo is at lower central, on the same archipelago.  

At the lower lefthand corner, it is written "Florida Bay."  Technically, the whole area, including very insignificant Manatee Bay, is Florida Bay, until you reach the long archipelago.   The important feature is that the current of the Southern Florida border travels west to east.  

East of the archipelago is regarded to be the Atlantic Ocean --- the Florida Straits.   The true ocean water there, at the time of the 101F swamp water run-off reading was approximately 84.9F to 86F.   Average for July is 89.1F.

The Hwy 1 which is seen on the two maps above is actually the South Dixie Hwy.  The locals call it "the Stretch."  That highway --- that "stretch" --- travels over Surprise Lake, into Key Largo.  Then it suddenly becomes the Overseas Highway.  If you go south on the Overseas Highway for 98 miles, you will arrive at Key West.  

And of course, the ocean water between Cuba and Florida is the Straits of Florida.  That water is quite different than ye olde estuary shoreline runoff water.

Quick lesson:  Estuary water is actually where river water meets an area subject to the tides; where river water becomes effected by tidal action --- and where river water mixes with salt water.  

The bottom line here is that the true ocean water temperature in the area was 15 or so degrees Fahrenheit LOWER than what was claimed by media anchormen & women who are basically clueless and uneducated in matters of atmospheric science and oceanography.

One more preliminary statement, to show the hypocrisy of Climate Hysteria Activists

It's now said that fresh water run-off from the Florida Everglades and elsewhere must stop, or else the Atlantic Ocean's Gulf Stream will have reduced saltiness and will then stop moving --- at least beginning at the 45th Parallel.  This includes the temporary & seasonal ice melt run-off of Greenland.  Okay then, explain to me how the Climate Hysteria activists are in a state of cricketed silence on the following:

During every second of every hour of every day of every week of every month of every year of every decade of every century, for thousands of years:

4 MILLION GALLONS of fresh Mississippi River water has been flowing into the Mississippi Delta and emptying itself into the salty Atlantic Ocean.  How do you explain that the Gulf Stream has been flowing sufficiently and effectively throughout millennia, despite the massive fresh-water contribution made to it every minute for the last 4,000 years?  What is the point in stopping Everglade run-off water, while a much more massive amount of fresh water flows into the Atlantic Ocean hourly?

Concerning the 4 million gallon claim, if you don't believe it, then you need to see:

https://a-z-animals.com/blog/4-million-gallons-per-second-and-7-other-incredible-facts-about-the-mississippi-river/

The Amazon River discharges approximately ten times more fresh water into the Atlantic Ocean.  In fact, the Orinoco River discharges almost twice as much fresh water into the Atlantic Ocean as does the Mississippi.

Moreover, the Uruguay & Parana Rivers eventually flow into the Atlantic via the Rio de la Plata Estuary.   The Congo River (of Zaire) has twice the discharge flow into the Atlantic that the Mississippi does, and the Ganges River is slightly stronger than the Congo River.  

The Yangtze River has 1.5 times the discharge flow of the Mississippi.  The Yenisei River is as powerful as the Mississippi, as it's the 5th longest river and the largest one to drain into the Arctic Ocean.  Moreover, the Lena also drains into the Arctic, and it's the longest river within Russia.  

Then comes the Saint Lawrence River and its discharge of fresh Great Lakes waters into the North Atlantic Ocean.  Yet, scientists complain of season ice melt and discharge of a Greenland which is mostly frozen.  Also comes the phenomenon of Arctic waters being super cooled, meaning that such water doesn't freeze, even at 31F, 30F, and 29.7F.  All of the aforementioned makes the Greenland ice melt contribution to the Atlantic extremely insignificant.  Think:  The Saint Lawrence & the Mississippi, along with the Lena & Yenisei, and even the Ob River (of Siberia.).  

In Review ... restated ... for victims of the American Public School System who were not taught to think, but to rattle of bumper sticker slogans mindlessly.

In July of 2023, it was reported that coastal ocean water near Southern Florida reached "the possible record-breaking temperature" of 101F ... or at least 100F.  Stop.  Big lie.  Penalty Marker Time.   Let's get this correct, for the sake of a constantly deceived public.

To start, the actual time when this 101F thermometer reading was alleged to have occurred was July 24th or so.  Available herein are the official coastal water temperature stats for July 28, compliments of the NCEI-NOAA.   

Now, as a preview: The actual coastal ocean water temp at the time was 86 degrees Fahrenheit.   Next:

[1a] The water that was measured was NOT ocean water.  It was NOT "coastal water."  It was estuary water, located between two pieces of land, and NOT located out in the ocean.  The water which was measured (via buoy) is extremely close to the Florida Everglades, on its northwest ... and Florida Bay on it's west southwest.  This translates into marsh water which can be as hot as a sports team's whirlpool in the training room.  And we are talking about a very shallow water basin.

[1b] In other words, the water measured was Everglade Runoff Water, and a few years ago --- I think it was in 2017, if memory serves me correctly --- that same water measured at 102F.  Yet, nobody was squawking, running out into the streets, screaming that it was the End of the World.  None the less, the water there is very shallow and the area involved is the border between marsh water and salt water.

[2a] Now, the general area involves water that runs through "the Taylor Slough," into the Florida Bay.  The slough, incidentally, was designed to provide water to the Florida Everglades which are located on the Southwestern tip of the state.  

[2b] Also involved is a manmade canal that was built in 1968 and then recently altered.  It's known as the C-111 Canal; the C-111 "Spreader" Canal.  It was originally designed to send water through the Everglades, followed by the water running off at the southern border of Florida.  Next came the decision to prevent fresh water from rolling off into the Atlantic Ocean as much as is possible.  That resulted in the C-111 "Spreader" project which is completely pointless in light of the fact that the Mississippi River, at New Orleans, unleashes 4 million gallons of FRESH (unsalted) water into the salty Gulf of Mexico per second.  

[2c] This is why it is such hypocrisy for Climate Hysteria Salesmen to obsess people with the seasonal "ice melt run-off from Greenland" (into the Atlantic Ocean), all the while claiming that it's going to cause a Siberian England, the halt of the Atlantic Ocean, and the End of the World.  

[2d] Incidentally, in order to get the Atlantic Ocean to stop flowing, you must stop the rotation of the Earth.  Plus, you must then rid Planet Earth of either all low pressure systems or all high pressure systems.  That is to say, in order to get the Atlantic Ocean to stop moving, you must stop the winds from blowing, as well as stopping the Earth from rotating.  Do you yet see how incredibly asinine the Climate Change activists & politicians are?  They are literally a danger to society, whenever they are in power.

[2e] In addition, the same Southern Florida Everglades Region is quite close to the Dixie Highway which suddenly becomes the Overseas Hwy, upon crossing a bridge.  That highway literally takes you to Key West.  Locals call the Dixie Hwy "the Stretch."

[3a] As far as goes real coastal ocean water in the area which is measured regularly for its temperature, the two nearest places would undoubtedly be Vaca Key and Duck Key.  Now, the temperature of water changes much slower than does air above land.  After all, water has much more heat capacity, and this particular topic is for another post.  None the less, as of July 28, 2023 (July 29 in Coordinated Universal Time), the ocean water temperature near Vaca Key was 86.0F.  The July average there is 89.1F.  At Duck Key, the ocean water was 84.9F, and it's July average is 87.4F.  This was three or four days after the super bogus & hysterical climate news report.

[3b]  Concerning the keys, the northern area is mostly coral.  The southern sector is mostly sandbar.  There about 1,500 to 1,700 islands in the Florida keys.

[4] During this time, the ocean water surrounding the United States' southern states predominately ranged in temperature between the low-to-mid 80s Fahrenheit and 90F.  In one rare section near Texas, it rose to 94.1F, and that's it.  Later in the month was a 94.1F off of Louisiana, and that was it.  Nothing else higher.

[5] So, the July 2023 reality is this:  During the general time span when the ocean water temps were said to have reached 101F, they actually were 3.3 degrees Fahrenheit BELOW AVERAGE in one nearby area of coastal water, and 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit BELOW AVERAGE in another nearby section of the Atlantic Ocean.  All in all, that area which was said to have been 101F was actually 14 to 16 degrees Fahrenheit BELOW 101F.  It wasn't even close to what the Climate Hysteria Media claimed.  

This is yet another piece of evidence which shows that the "Global Warming," "Climate Change," "Climate Crisis," "Global Boiling" activists are lying con artists . . . of very low intelligence.  They are of very low intelligence, because it is soooooo easy to catch their lies and con games.  Concerning the fact that all Florida coastal water temperatures were very much BELOW 100F, see for yourself, below:

Below is the July 28th report.  If I had learned of the 101F temperature report sooner, I would have gone to the NCEI tally board sooner.  

To the righthand side of the government chart (above) are the monthly averages.  This photocopy is "truncated."  It was cut at the righthand side, after the July monthly average column.  At the righthand side of each row's blue-tinted temperature number is the average temp for Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, and July.  Aug to Dec was cut-out, for convenience.  

All in all, the hottest temp in the Southern Florida waters at the time was 89-90F, around Key West, Florida.  Nowhere was it anywhere near 101F.  As far as goes as any ocean temperature being in the critical end-of-the-world-and-we-are-gonna-die-tomorrow stage:  Nada.  Niente. Give-me-a-break. Take-a-hike, you-tax-dollar-thieves.

Now, if you want to see all of the coastal ocean water temperatures around America ... and their monthly average temps for each month ... go to the following site.  There is where you will be able to see if the "Climate Crisis" & "Global Boiling" activists are honest people or a bunch of deliberate liars, in quest of fraudulently gained U.S. taxpayer funding and deceptively gained NGO grants:

There was NO once-in-a-thousand year storm in April of 2025, and NYC did NOT break any rainfall record in 2023.

As an introductory Reality Check, there were tragic storms in America in early April 2025.  But, there was no "once-in-a-thousand-year storm" during that four-day time span.  America's worst storm & subsequent flooding was Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, where 500 died.  The flooding actually began in 1926.  Yet, the Yangtze Flood of 1931 was far more deadly and disastrous.  In fact, the Yangtze Flood of 1935 resulted in approximately 145,000 dead and millions of people displaced.  

There was even disastrous flooding in 1887, concerning the Huang He (Yellow River), where at least 930,000 people died.  And let us not forgot the most powerful tornado outbreak in American history.  This happened in the first week of April, in 1974.  It resulted in 148 tornadoes in 13 States.  There were a number of similarly disastrous tornadic outbreaks in America.  Thus, the events of April 2025 didn't make the list for once-in-a-thousand-year epic storms.

Add to the list of historic disasters the August 1975 Banqiao Dam Failure, in central eastern China.  That was when 62 dams and 5 million houses collapsed.  As far as goes weather in very recent years, it was in September of 2023 when Libya's Derna Dam collapsed during Mediterranean Storm Daniel. There were 39 MILLION cubic yards of water unleashed upon a nearby civilization.  In the end, 5,923 people were confirmed dead, with an overall casualty estimate of 14,000-24,000 assumed dead.  

NYC in 2023 did NOT have any statistic anywhere close to those of the Yangtze, the Huang He, America in April of 1974, Derna in 2023, or even the Mississippi River in 1927.  It was the typical hyper-exaggerated propaganda of the Demented Joe Biden Years.

  

Above:  September 29, 2023, at 5:00 pm.  Posted pursuant to the U.S. Fair Use Act (17 USC Sec 107)

Now, the April 2-5 weather events of 2025 were not a minor occurrence.  But, it wasn't rare, either.  That type of tornado outbreak has happened recently and repeatedly.  It was nothing new.

In matter of fact, there was a similar tornado outbreak one year prior, in 2024.  There was also one such outbreak in 2023 which involved the formation of blizzard conditions in America's Northern Midwest.  These tornadic outbreaks are not once-in-a-millennium events.  They literally have been once-every-year events.  They have been a part of current events in America, for decades.   All in all, there has been no weather event in America, in 2025 or 2024 or 2023, which did not already happen previously, over and over and over again.

April 2025 in review

As far as goes the recent death toll in April of 2025, it was 23 people.  Now, one death is significant.  But, you cannot rightfully compare 23 deaths throughout a multiplicity of American States to 145,000 Yangtze Flood deaths ... or to 930,000 Huang He River deaths ... or to 24,000 dam disaster deaths ... or even 5,923 confirmed deaths in one Libyan city, in 2023.  Thus, the claim of a recent "once-in-a-thousand-year storm" is lying propaganda from people who still think that billions of American taxpayer dollars will continue to be tossed out to manipulative activists like confetti in a ticker tape parade. 

New York Propaganda, 2023

1 of 3} The media kept calling it the "record rainstorm."  It was now the new normal caused by the burning of fossil fuels.  The reality is that it was caused by El Nino's predictable effect on the Atlantic Ocean.  It was the New York City rain of September 28 & 29 (2023), and it was the result of the remnants of a sub-hurricane phase cyclone, called a tropical storm.  The tropical storm's name was Ophelia.

2a of 3} The New York State rainfall record is 13.57 inches in 24 hours of time.  That event occurred on August 12-13, 2014 (nine years ago), at Islip, New York.  The notable feature of that 2014 rainstorm was that five inches of it came down in one hour's time.  

2b of 3} The highest recorded rainfall amount for the recent September 29th (2023) rain storm was 8.64 inches.  This occurred at JFK International Airport.   Now, 13.57 minus 8.64 =  4.93.  Therefore, the  24-hr rainfall total for Friday, Sept 29, 2023 was 4.93 inches BELOW that of the New York State record.  It was 36% lower than the 2014 rainfall.  Furthermore, the Sept 29th rainfall was also below the 24-hr rainfall record of 44 American states.   Thus, it was no major Doomsday event in any capacity.

Intro 3 of 3} Keep in mind that 2023 was an El Nino year and that El Nino carries with itself the power of wind shear.  In 2023, Hurricane Lee was the prime example of El Nino's wind shearing power.  Tropical Storm Ophelia was not immune to El Nino, as well.  Being that physical matter can neither be created nor destroyed, the water formerly carried by Tropical Storm Ophelia had to go somewhere in the physical universe.

Time for a Reality Check 

The irony at hand is that, on September 29th, Islip NY received only 1.13 inches of rain.  That amounts to 12.44 inches LESS THAN Islip's record-setting rain day of 2014.  In addition, the distance between Islip and the JFK International Airport is 29 miles.  Thus, the "Great New York City Rainfall of September 2023" wasn't that widespread of an event, when you count area ... when you count square miles or even square kilometers.

At this point, compare NYC in late September 2023 to [1] Alvin Texas' (Houston area)  42 inches, in 1979 ... [2] Massies Mill Virginia's 27.35 inches, in 1969 ... [3] Hackberry Louisiana's 22 inches, in 1962 ... [4] Kauai Hawaii's 49.69 inches, in 2018 ... [5] South Port North Carolina's 23.56 inches, in 1999 ... [6] Saco Maine's 19.19 inches, in 1996 ... [7] Hogees Camp California 25.83 inches, February 1943 ... [8] Dauphin Island Alabama's 32.52 inches, in 1997 ... [9] Americus Georgia's 21.1 inches, in 1994 ... [10] Hurricane Jean's effect on Florida, in 1980, to the tune of 23.38 inches.  

Let's do the One-Picture's-Worth-a-Thousand-Words thing, with the following photo

The photo below --- which happens to be posted pursuant to the U.S. Fair Use Act --- is said to be that of New York City, on September 29, 2023.  Yet, it looks similar to a part of Chicago I used to drive-through.  None the less, in the grand scheme of existence, NYC did have above-average rain, for a day or two, this past September.  But, it did NOT have anything epic or legendary.   Yet, the Climate Hysteria People were using this very temporary event as a part of their propaganda.

In light of the present-tense weather propaganda, can you see what's blatantly wrong with the photo below?  Can you see what's wrong, in light of that fact that the photo was posted to show "massive NYC flooding?"  

Well, look at all the cars and trucks in that photo, other than the dark blue one on the righthand side which is submerged in water, almost up to its headlights.  Other vehicles in that same photo are not underwater, except for maybe an inch or less of rain water.  Other vehicles there are not underwater, at all.  Plus, there is the four inches of rain water covering the tire sidewalls of the red pickup truck in the center of the photo, making a splash as it makes a lefthand turn.   Yet, you could still see the license plate on that pickup truck.  This means that the water was not at a high level.

You can also see the license plate on the white VW located directly behind the dark blue car.  You can also see the VW's rear bumper and rear tires.  It's certainly not submerged in rainwater.  

The row of vehicles on the lefthand side of the photo are not underwater, either . . . except for maybe a quarter-inch of rain.  There is even a human being on the street, on the righthand side of the photo --- near a row of parked cars ---  who is NOT submerged in rainwater.   She is standing somewhat near those two white SUV's in the background --- a car width or two away from the two white SUVs which are not at all submerged in rainwater.  In fact, the cars parked behind the white VW --- on the righthand side of the photo --- are also NOT submerged in any rainwater.  So, what's the big deal here?

All in all, the terrain that was photographed was entirely uneven, and publishing such a photo as something indicative of NYC on September 29 was & is entirely DISHONEST.   Not much is underwater in that photo, when you look at the background of it ... and everywhere else on the photo. The general rule is that, if you can still see the license plates on most of the vehicles in a photo, then you're not looking at much of a flood.  New York City is not Venice, Italy.  So, quit acting like it is.  

This is amazingly petty, when comparing September 29th to real floods.  Yet, schoolchildren are told to fear such incredible pettiness.  Real floods are the He Huang Floods of 1887, 1931, and 1938.  Epic floods include the Saint Mary Magdalene Day Flood of 1342 (which see) and the Saint Elizabeth Day Flood of 1421.  They also include the Saint Lucia Day Flood of 1287 which killed 50,000 to 80,000 people in the Netherlands.  Epic floods do NOT include the September 29th, 2023 New York City rain.

BTW, the Catholic Church calendar had a number of saint's memorials each day, for each of the 365 days of the year.  Thus, a weather disaster would be named after the most famous memorialized saint of the day.  So, don't get superstitious over the fact that every weather disaster in the Medieval Period and Renaissance Era was named after a saint.  It was a way to tell time ... to keep time ... to record time ... to archive events.   Let us continue: 

New York City did NOT have anywhere near the rain that fell during the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 --- or the 71.8 inches of rain that fell on Reunion Island, in 1966.  But, it was above-average rain, for NYC.   For example, in an approximate 36 hour period, Brooklyn got 7.34 inches of rain.  Midtown Manhattan got 6.09 inches.  Central Park received 5.80 inches, and Harlem got 5.21 inches of rainfall.  And, as was previously mentioned, JFK International Airport received 8.64 inches, and 4.82 inches of rain fell on La Guardia Airport.  

The "record breaking rain" of September 29 only broke a few LOCAL RECORDS.  At the least, New York City schools should have been shutdown for that day, for the safety of schoolchildren & teachers.  

The Climate Con Artist Photo Gallery

That photo is reminiscent of a certain CNN reporter who walked into a water-filled ditch, up to his waste, in order to deceive people into believing that the town he was visiting was still flooded.

It's also reminiscent of a certain Weather Channel reporter making it look as if the wind was blowing him over, while two youths suddenly entered the scene (on the street behind the reporter), walking very casually, showing that it was not windy at that moment, at all.  None the less, the Climate Change People ... and the news reporters ... have become a gang of fictional actors.  They have become a cast of liars.

All in all, 8.64 New York City inches of rain is not going to make the cut, in the grand scheme of things.  So, you can quit claiming that the "burning of fossil fuels is drowning New York City." 

BTW, the flood water of the Great Mississippi Flood reached a depth of 30 feet.  New York City in 2023 didn't compare to the American Midwest in 1927.

And then there was the matter of the Great Flood of July 1916 which devastated North Carolina.  Again & again, we see that the NYC September 29th, 2023 rainstorm was inconsequential chump change in comparison to a number of other rainstorms and/or floods which actually did bring devastation to such an extent that the lives of numerous people would never be the same again.  

Adding the September 29, 2023 NYC rain to the list of epic rainstorms is an intense insult to human intelligence.  In as much, as far as would go the quintessential "thousand year flood," the candidates would include [1] the Mary Magdalene Day Flood of 1342 (which see), as well as [2] the 1887 Yellow River Flood (China).   

Add to the equation the flood & famine the Year 1315.  Such events were major league floods which occurred when co2 levels were very very low.  The years of sheer tragic climate disaster included 1274, 1281, the 1300s, the Tudor Drought Days of 1540, 1588, the 1600s, the great hurricanes disaster of 1780, the Potato Famine, numerous Medieval & Renaissance famines, numerous Medieval & Renaissance droughts, as well as the Plague years.  

The one-thousand year period before the Industrial Revolution were NOT centuries of mild weather.  There were numerous epic climate tragedies throughout that time span.  The NYC Rain of September 29, 2023 was NOT an epic event in any category.

The "record NYC rain" of Sept 29 didn't  surpass  very many states.  It did NOT even surpass the numbers of its own State of New York.  The media has to hyper-sensationalize everything and terrify schoolchildren in the process.
