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.  If there were a widespread heatwave, then 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 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 amounts to 36 degrees Fahrenheit lower than what was reported by the mainstream media.  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.

MANY MORE SHORT-DURATION Storms & weaker cyclones in recent decades.

Keep in mind that ... throughout all of 2025 ... not a single hurricane made landfall upon the United States.  This is the opposite of what Al Gore predicted in 2006.

The point to posting the 1922 newspaper article below is to show that a number of natural disasters were worse 85, 105, and 125 years ago, when the outdoor CO2 level was much lower than it is today.  So, according to Al Gore, Michael Mann, David Attenborough, and other less-than-noble men, such heated weather should never have occurred in the early 20th Century.  This is one of many pieces of evidence proving that the CO2 Climate Driver Theory is erroneous.

None the less, ten years later, in 1932, there would come the Year Without a Winter.  In fact, a number of competition events at the 1932 Winter Olympics had to be postponed.  This included the bobsled finals.

Shortly after this would come the dreaded heatwaves of 1934 to 1936.  This was when the atmospheric CO2 level hovered between 308 and 310 ppm ... 119 ppm LOWER THAN TODAY.  Five years prior, in 1927, America endured its worst flood in recorded history; the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.  So, there were intense grades of natural disasters when the CO2 level was much lower than it is today.

Moreover, 90% of all Greenhouse Gases is Water Vapor.  If Greenhouses Gases are having any kind of effect on Planet Earth above and beyond the effect they had in decades & centuries past, it's Water Vapor that is doing it.

The weather was often worse ... more intense ... 85, 100, 120, 500, and 700 years ago.  Browse through a newspaper archive and see for yourself.  Refer to almanacs, "chronicles," logs, etc.

Keep in mind that "climate" computer models involve mathematical & algebraic variables that can drastically change the outcome of the computer calculation. Variables in equations can be tweaked, amended, or rigged in such a way that you can arrive at the pre-conceived conclusion that you seek. 

In as much, computer models are not reality.  Computer models only make predictions.  As a result, the vast majority of "global-warming & "climate-change" predictions never came close to having come true, in any capacity.  

In the alternate, history is reality.   Statistical record keeping is reality.  More specifically, "Observational Evidence" is reality.  Directly below is some historic reality.  Reality does NOT need the permission of computer models, in order to exist.  Reality supersedes all computer modelling.

Now, an instrument such as a thermometer is reality.   However, you can rig the reality of a thermometer reading, by placing the thermometer in the midst of heat-retaining asphalt and heated jet engines.   Such a place where you can get erroneous temperature readings is called "the airport." 

The Matter at Hand, as of March 2025

 At present, a certain journalist of a certain pro-climate-change news outlet recently reported that tropical cyclones "are less frequent but more intense."  This is a double lie.  The opposite is true.  Instead of adhering to computer models, go outside and walk around, for a change.  Then look up at the sky, followed by you looking beyond the horizon.

I obtained and saved the entire Cyclone Scorecard (record) of the Atlantic Basin, going back to the late 19th Century.  The record shows that, in recent years, there have been moderately more cyclones per year ... on average.  But, the record also shows that more low-level cyclones, call Tropical Storms, have been emerging from the Atlantic Ocean, as well.   

Al Gore predicted that more high intensity hurricanes would be the common occurrence each summer.  Well, there have been an added number of cyclones ... in recent years ... not strong enough to be called hurricanes.  They are the junior varsity members of the Atlantic Basin Cyclone Team.  They are weak storms.  They are the opposite of what Al Gore predicted. 

MOREOVER, the modern record shows that there have been more SHORT-DURATION storms ... of those cyclones that lasted two days or less, since the mid-1950s ... even since the mid-1940s.  This fact also negates & invalidates Al Gore's 2006 claim that an increase in atmospheric CO2 was going to cause more intense hurricanes.  After all, very few Category 5 hurricanes have ever made landfall on the shores of the Continental United States ... ever since 1852.  I've already covered this in other Blue Marble posts.  

The chart below ... and numerous other ones at the Blue Marble Album ... can help emotionally traumatized school students who were constantly being told that we are in a never-before-seen climate crisis.  Within intervals of time, the weather was worse 85, 105, 125, 500, and 700 years ago, when it came to natural disasters.   This long era of time was when the atmospheric CO2 level was as low as it gets.  

As a review,  at the end of the last "Major Glaciation," otherwise known as "the last major ice age,"  the CO2 level was 180 ppm.  Now, there was an encore to the Ice Age, known as the Younger Dryas Stadial which lasted for an approximate thousand years.  The depth of severe cold ended approximately 12,700 years ago.  Yet, a significant rise in temperature wasn't accomplished until 10,000 years ago.  Shortly after this period, the outdoor CO2 level would hover between 260 to 284 parts per million.  

In fact, in 1600 CE, the CO2 level was 275 ppm.   Even in 1750, outdoor CO2 was only 277.  Then, in the Year 1830, outdoor CO2 was at 284 ppm.  The 284 ppm level was previously reached in the Year 1165.

In going further in time, atmospheric CO2 was 295.8 in the Year 1900 ...   305 ppm in 1925 ...   310 ppm, at the end of WWII, when the Surface Temperature Decline of 1940-1985 was already underway.

In 1965, the atmospheric CO2 tally was 322 ppm.  It was 350 ppm in 1987 and 370 ppm in 1999.  CO2 reached 381 ppm, when the 2006 Al Gore movie was shown in theaters and public schools.   The level of 429 ppm came in March of 2025.

Incidentally, at the end of the last major "glaciation,"  the CO2 level was 180 ppm.  Throughout the Babylonian, Persian, and Greco-Roman Empire years, the CO2 level was 260 to 280 ppm.  Atmospheric CO2 was 280-284 ppm throughout the Viking, French, and Spanish dynasties which spanned from The Year 1000 to 1550.  

At this point, keep in mind that Michael Mann asserted that CO2 started to rise above the usual level at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution started in 1712, when Thomas Newcomen produced the first successful stream engine.  Well, the atmospheric CO2 level did NOT rise above 284 ppm, until 1833.  Even at that, the CO2 level did NOT rise past 289 ppm, until 1876.  And then, it reached the very even number of 300 ppm in 1911.  

Despite this significant rise in outdoor CO2 in the 21st Century, there was NO COMMENSURATE RISE in Atlantic Basin Sea Storm intensity.  On the average,  Atlantic Basin cyclones have become a degree milder and a degree shorter in duration.  This Observational Evidence shows Al Gore & Michael Mann to be the teachers of false science, in their demonization of the life-supporter molecule, CO2.

And of course, take note that the present rise in CO2 is due to the coal-fired power plants in China & India.  Thus, the CO2 level is out of America's hands and out of Europe's hands.  In fact, Russia's 40-50 Gigawatt coal power capacity doesn't come close  to China's.  Even in 2020, China's coal capacity was already at 1,080 GW.  

Of course, coal emits real pollutants which harm mammalian health.  This includes methylmercury, beryllium, arsenic, and fine particulate matter smaller than 2.5 macrons.  Such pollutants need to be corralled ... they need to be filtered.

Remember, when the CO2 level goes below 150 ppm, all photosynthesis ceases, and life on Earth ends very quickly thereafter.  CO2 is an absolute necessity for there to be life on Earth.

The Heat Island Effect & Asphalt: Absorbing solar radiation at the surface

Chicago:  The huge asphalt maze.  Yet, I stood outside here, during -7F and -11F Arctic Nights.

From the telescope data analysts:   The Earth's lower Tropospheric temperature anomaly for July 2022 was +0.36C.  (Anomaly means deviation from the normal.)  The commercial media placed July 2022 in neon-lights, and then proceeded to put it in a false light.

Of course, the multiple temperature measurements of the lower Troposphere aren't the proverbial tale of the tape.  When  it comes to monitoring the atmosphere for the presence or absence of actual Global Warming, the following rule applies:

"If there is no temperature increase in the Middle of the Troposphere, then there is no Global Warming." 

Moreover, there is a difference between surface temperatures and air temperatures.  None the less, we now direct our attention to surface temperatures in the modern world, being that it can be a health issue, as was the repeatedly tragic case in France, during 1976, 2003, & 2019.

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

So, what is providing the added heat to the cities during Summertime?

ANS:  The great solar radiation absorber, asphalt.  More specifically, the Heat Island Effect and/or Heat Sink Effect.  So, add to the effect the heated exhausts of air conditioning units.

~Now, the July 2022 hype about London has been easily proven a farce, in light of the fact that the 610 sq mile area known as Greater London has been having almost half the fires it experienced in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as far less the number of fires that transpired in the mid-1960s.

~The Southwest of the United States is a desert and does have a history of naturally occurring long-term droughts. 

~Lake Superior had near record cold temperatures during July 2022.  See:  Lake Superior near record cold in July 2022

~Throughout South America, there has been record cold in 2022, including the coastal nation of Uruguay.   Throughout South America in 2022, there has been record heat, including the coastal nation of Uruguay. 

~Patagonia (the Southern half of Argentina) was reported as having record heat in 2022. The same Patagonia was reported as having had record cold in 2022.   This is when you toss up your hands and say, "What's the point?"  

Okay.  Time-out, for a Review

The Year 1936 had the hottest Summer in the known history of the United States, and according to NASA, 1934 was the worst drought in 1,000 years.  This was when co2 levels were 310 ppm, meaning that they were 108 ppm LOWER than today.

The highest temperature ever recorded on Planet Earth was recorded in 1913, at Death Valley's Furnace Creek, California.  It was 134F there, and co2 was 301 ppm at the time.   That was 117 ppm less than today.  

The longest heat wave of consecutive 90+F days transpired in New York City in 1953, for 12 consecutive days.   The co2 count at the time was 313 ppm.  This amounts to 105 ppm LOWER than today.  So, where is the causation (or even the correlation) of co2 levels in the surface temperature records?  ANS:  It went out the door.

In fact, the second most severe heat wave & drought was the Great Tudor Drought of 1540-41.  This occurred when co2 was at pre-fossil-fuel levels.  

Meanwhile, the Great Drought of the American West occurred between 1276 and 1299 C.E, when co2 levels were as low as they were during the Roman Empire years of carts, chariots, and cavalry units.  Thus, co2 is not lighter fluid.  Nor is it a Roman Candle, pun intended.

The 16th, 17th, & 18th Centuries, as well as the first half of the 19th Century were centuries of turbulent --- and then scorching --- and then flooding --- climate conditions.  Add crop failures and ice stacking to the list, as well as the Thames River Frost Fairs.  And then came entire military fleets being decimated in massive sea storms, during that time span

All in all, it is a complete lie to claim that the past 1,000 years were years of mild weather.  The entities pushing this lie should be sued for fortunes worth of compensation.   After all, why do you think Northern Europeans and American colonists were putting woman after woman to death, for witchcraft?   Well, it had to do with the outrageously unsettling weather.  But, it had nothing to do with fossil fuels.  People in NORTHERN EUROPE thought that witches were changing the weather for the worse.

Despite the long historical records which do show that there's NOT a historical correlation between co2 levels and surface temperatures, the climate change marketeers will always claim that the hottest and worst weather had transpired last month --- and that we're all gonna die in the next 5 to 10 years, if we don't drastically reduce co2 levels now. 

This is the Five & Dime Store Doomsday Script, and it has been ongoing since June 1988.  It's beyond tiring to hear this, due to the repetitively failed doomsday predictions of the past 34 years which keep being predicted anew, with the designated dates of doom being pushed back to the next 34 years.

It's definitively true that the predictions of climate doom never came true.  After all:  {1} the Maldives are very much above water with financially fit Arabians enjoying the premises.  {2} No coastal city has gone even halfway underwater.  {3} Your shoes are still dry after walking throughout Lower Manhattan, and {4} You still can't go water skiing in the Summertime Arctic Ocean without you crashing into 1.3 million to 1.9 million square miles of ice.

And remember, the Global Warming, End-of-the-World hysteria was ratcheted-upwards only because Joe Biden took up residency at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.  It's an advertising gimmick.  After all, in 2021, throughout Biden's first year, fanatical doomsayer announcements were repeatedly being published.

Moreover, neither China nor India nor often frigid Russia are going to try to reduce co2 levels.  Even if you wiped North American off the map, the co2 levels would still rise pursuant to Chinese, Indian, and Russia industrial output.  So, nagging and punishing Americans would NOT work, if it mattered that co2 levels were rising.

The Climate Change Pitch is a Sales Pitch

As a note, American sales managers teach their new employees that, when you are trying to make a sale, you are to create a sense of URGENCY in the prospective buyer.  So, climate change activists are simply trying to make a sale.  However, American workers who spent decades working outdoors don't buy the Climate Change hysteria.  They are experienced in experiencing all sorts of climatic conditions.  And they realize that climate per se is ......... cyclical.

It even got to the point where the Climate Change salesmen blamed snow on man-made co2 and Global Warming.  As I previously explained, a water molecule will stay in the atmosphere for approximately NINE days.  Any January snow storm that comes 182 days after a humid July heatwave is NOT caused by that July heatwave.  And concerning the oceans warming, the majority of ocean water is dark & 39F.  That's all.

It's now the Summer of 2022.  A hundred years prior were news reports of a detailed Arctic meltdown.  The heat of the prior year, 1921, was a contributing factor.  

Other dreaded heat years near that time span included 1871, 1878, 1895, 1896, 1901, 1911, 1913, 1922, 1931, 1934, 1935, and 1936, as well as 1947, 1988, 1998, 2012, and 2016.   All in all, climate is cyclical.  To claim today to be far worse than decades prior can be easily disproved.  Let's take China's weather history as an example.

In the "table" of China's worst natural disasters, six are Earthquakse.  They are NOT applicable in this discourse.  There are two epidemics which don't apply, unless a melting Arctic Circle is involved.  This leaves us with 17 natural disasters.  

View the year of each disaster, and take account of the much smaller atmospheric co2 content than exists today.  Then take note of the death tolls, and remember what the U.N. stated in September 2021.  The Chinese death tolls contradict what news writers and certain U.N. people were claiming.  Chinese disaster years included 1906, 1909, 1911, 1922, 1930, 1935, 1939, 1949, 1954, and 1959 being the most recent intense disaster year.  The co2 levels of these years ranged from 298 to 315 ppm.  This is 102 to 120 ppm lower than today.  This would serve as prove that a rise in atmospheric co2 does NOT automatically cause intensification of disastrous weather events.

This brings the reasonable person's thoughts to the Eleven Year Sunspot Cycle --- which is not to be confused with relatively stable solar irradiance.

We begin with 2022.  Eleven years prior was the July 2011 heatwave marked by high humidity.  The following year was the Drought of 2012.  Therefore, if the Eleven year sunspot cycle has any causation or correlation to it, then 2023 should be another year with a notably hot summertime.  A cooling should be evident in 2025 or 2026, IF ...

Eleven years prior to the 2012 Drought was the 2001 Eastern North American Heat Wave which even saw Nova Scotia reach 95F.  Meanwhile, New York's Central Park reached 103F.  Moreover, the co2 count that year was 371 ppm; 47 ppm LOWER than today.

Eleven years prior to 2001 was the final year of the 1988 to 1990 North American Drought.  The co2 level was 351 ppm; 67 ppm lower than today.  

Eleven years prior to the 1990 drought was 1979. Well, one year after 1979 was the 1980 United States Heat Wave which took 1,700 lives.

Next comes eleven years before 1979, namely 1968.  Well, in 1968, there was the dustfall thunderstorms in 'Britain'; the worst in 200 years.  It comprised a layer of mineral dust that came out of the Sahara and found its way to England, much like the temporary heat of mid-July 2022.  

Also in 1968, there was a January hurricane that made landfall in Scotland.  It reached a speed of 134 mph.  The co2 level at the time was 321 ppm; 96 ppm lower than today.  If that hurricane would have happened this past January, we would never have stopped hearing about it from the Climate Change Activists and the commercial media.  Sirens would have gone off, in concert.

The year prior, in 1967, a heatwave took 70 lives in Mexico City, and Seattle had its longest heatwave, equaling the New York City heatwave of 1953.   

Next comes eleven years before 1968,  namely 1957.  Subtract another eleven years and you also have 1946.  Well, from 1947 to 1957 was Texas' worst drought.  In fact, 1956 was Texas' second driest year on record at the time.   The CO2 level was 310 to 316 ppm during this time frame.  More than 100 ppm less than today.

Also in 1957 was NYC reaching its record high temperature, and Kentucky having a devastating flood, much like in the Year 2022.  History repeats itself.

Eleven years before 1957 was 1946, and it was the year of the Heat Wave in Rome, and the Drought & Famine which hit Moldavia and the Ukraine hard.

Eleven years before 1946 was 1935, and it was especially disastrous a year.  There was the Black Sunday Dust Storm, for starters.  All in all, 1934, 1935, and 1936 were absolute weather disaster years.

 

The aforementioned things are historic fact.   There is correlation in this Eleven Year Sun Spot Cycle.  But, is there causation to the aforementioned coinciding events?  Or is it just a matter of statistical probability?  Is it simply a matter of there being so many heat waves in history that some of them will land on the 11 year sun spot cycle points.

One lesson to be learned here is that heat waves are a common occurrence of life on Earth.  Heatwaves are everywhere throughout the history of Summertime.  Therefore, the hyper-exaggerating of heat waves today is the act of lying via false light misrepresentation --- the committing of fraud --- bearing of false witness --- being unable to be trusted, ever again.  

 Concerning this, instead of journalists constantly writing, "record breaking heat wave," (in order to intimidate you)  they should be writing how to survive a heat wave.  This shows that they do NOT care about you.  They are trying to push one declarative sentence, concerning co2, disregarding the fact that co2 is the key to Life on Earth ... being that photosynthesis is the key to life and co2 is the key to photosynthesis.

All in all, there are many more factors involved in the making of weather & climate than co2.  CO2 plays a minor role in Earth's heat budget, but it plays the star role in activating PHOTOSYNTHESIS throughout the Earth, even in the Arctic Circle.

And remember, 90% of all Greenhouse Gases, by volume, is WATER VAPOR.  Water Vapor leaves behind ZERO CARBON FOOTPRINT.

Southwest U.S.

There is the present saga of the man-made Lake Mead (near Las Vegas) which is dependent upon the man-made reservoir of Glen Canyon Dam which, in turn, was in a more dire situation than was Lake Mead.  So, it was given priority in water acquisition, by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.  It's name is Lake Powell, located in Northern Arizona.

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

At this point, let us remember an official statement of the (pre-Biden) United States government: "Drought is a normal climate pattern that has occurred in varying degrees of length, severity, and size throughout history."

The exact same United States government declared that:

"Tree ring archives indicate that agricultural droughts such as those that happened in the United States during the 1930s Dust Bowl era have occurred occasionally over the last 1,000 years, and climate model simulations suggest that droughts that may last several years to even decades OCCUR NATURALLY in the southwestern U.S."   

The other thing that naturally occurs in states such as Nevada and Arizona is MONSOON SEASON.  Okay then.  This brings us to France.

The media is obsessed, due to a severe lack of intelligence, with blaming all unwelcome weather events on CO2, while occasionally mentioning "greenhouse gases" in general.

Meanwhile, the same media never explains what constitutes a greenhouse gas, and the same media surely doesn't have the habit of informing its viewers that the #1 greenhouse gas is Water Vapor which constitutes 90% of all greenhouse gases, by volume ... and which has a zero carbon footprint.  The same media doesn't explain "heat transference," as in the three ways in which it occurs.  The media only conveys hype and bullying.

They don't mention Southwestern Monsoon season on a national scale, so that schoolchildren could be placed at ease. They're emotional terrorists looking for taxpayer dollars, NGO grants, etc.  If there is money in terrorizing schoolchildren, they'll do it.

As I have already illustrated elsewhere in the Blue Marble Album, in the July 2022 London hype, as well as in the July 2021 Biden administration's NOAA hype, a lot of falsehoods are flying through the media and the Internet, about July 2020, 2021, and 2022, as well as Greenland snowfall and the ocean sea level reports.

In fact, NOAA has changed historical graphs, to makes the temperatures of the very hot 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s look much cooler and more mild.  This makes that time span's temperatures look colder and much more mild than today's temperatures, and this is outright criminal fraud.   

This is why I advise everyone who is honest to gather as many newspaper and magazine articles about the blazing heat of the early 20th Century as possible, to show how the present employees of NOAA are literally fraudsters.  Include the newspapers of the 1870s and 1890s.  The newspapers of old are the original Climate Record, and they will serve as evidence to prove the fraud.

Of course, being that opinion polling showed "climate change" to often be the least concern amongst American voters, the climate change salesmen realized that they were engaged in a losing proposition.  So, they had to take the hottest month of the year and hyper-exaggerate it's thermometer readings and yearly wildfires, to make a sale ... all the while altering the past temperature graphs, to make the past look degrees colder than those heat-stricken days actually were.

The man-made-co2 salesmen (aka marketers) repeatedly had to exaggerate July's natural heat to the point of making it sound as if the end of the world were once again five or ten years away --- and that only the climate change marketeers can save you.  

So, what actually is a climate marketeer?  ANS: Someone who puts a price on climate-related activity.  Some of that money gets directed into the activists' pockets.

Well, the media has definitely been serving the climate change salesmen, as if to be their campaign volunteers.  So, go to the old newspaper archives, and make a library of temperature records and weather event reports.  That's how you can save the Truth from being hidden away from mankind for all time.

Of course, dispel from your mind the belief that an amount of CO2 as small as 420 ppm, could ever drive a climate the size of Earth.  After all, it's Water Vapor that comprises 90% of all greenhouse gases ... by volume.  But, why do not college students ever mention Water Vapor in their videos?  None the less, pre-Biden NASA, itself, publicly stated the "SUNLIGHT DRIVES THE CLIMATE."

 

NASA did not include co2 as a driver.  It limited the driver to Sunlight.  So, when you encounter a hot environment in the city or in suburbia or on a military base or at a mall parking lot or at a college campus, think the following:

The heat island effect --- being heavily assisted by asphalt.  It involves Albedo.  Actually, the heat part involves the lack of Albedo.

Albedo is the scattered (the diffused) reflection of solar radiation (aka sunlight) back into outer-space, after making contact-encounter-incidence with some material object on Earth, and doing so without heating that object beyond the percentage of sunlight absorbed by that object.  

 

That is to say, Albedo involves the encountering of a material without heat conduction occurring in the encountering thereof.  Albedo is like a boomerang effect performed with light --- with solar rays.

 

Albedo is measured on a scale from 0 -1, where 1 is the reflecting of 100% of the solar radiation back into outer-space.  The only material object on Earth which can make this happen in 100% completeness is a mirror positioned at the correct angle toward the sun.  Thus, whatever be the other materials on Earth, sunlight is partially absorbed by them and partially deflected from them.   However, the one earthly material that absorbs solar radiation (aka sunlight)  most efficiently is ASPHALT.  It absorbs approximately 95% of the solar radiation that makes contact with it.  That heats things up.

Runners-up in the solar radiation absorption contest include, soils, wet sand, dark clay, grasslands, the tundra, and coniferous forests, as well as black acrylic paint which is equal to new asphalt.

 

This solar radiation absorption will increase surface temperatures  in the cities, at mall parking lots, etc.  Then, when night comes, the heat gets released from the asphalt, etc.  All in all, CO2 has been blamed for causing what is being caused by asphalt and even coniferous forests.

Now, as far as goes Ocean Albedo, it's true that 94% of the sunlight which reaches ocean waves does not rocket back into outer-space.  But, the 94% of sunlight does not entirely get absorbed into ocean water.  If it did, there would be much more of an evaporation cycle and much more flooding on Earth.

 

Now, sunlight at the higher latitudes of the Earth makes contact with the Earth's surface at different angles than at the lower latitudes.  Higher latitudes have too much solar diffusion and do not capture as much sunlight as do the lower latitudes.   Thus, the lower latitudes are warmer and therefore develop the hurricanes which perform the task of heat transfer.  

 

Again, hurricanes are further evidence that the oceans are NOT hording heat.  The oceans are not depositories or vaults for added heat.  In fact, hurricanes can be regarded as substitutes for Albedo that do NOT develop according to sunlight, as Albedo does, but rather develops according to the lessening of air pressure.

 

BTW, the average Albedo for all of Planet Earth is .3 (30%)

 

Incidentally, there are 332,519,000 cubic miles of ocean water on Planet Earth, and as I long since stated, the majority of ocean water is dark and 39F.  So, don't fall for the phrase, "the oceans are all warming 60% faster than originally thought and we're all gonna die."  That was already disproved.  None the less, the 39F temperature is the case for 9,000 vertical feet of the Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans ... 7,000 vertical feet for the Southern Ocean ... and 653 feet of the Arctic Ocean.  

 

In as much, another mechanism of heat transfer happens with ocean water, due to the fact that water interfaces with air.  In brevity, it goes as follows:  Firstly, ocean waves create an interface with the air, due to the constant moving of waves and their mixing with air.  This means that the heat budget of any ocean surface interface is dominated by short wave irradiance, as opposed to there being an even exchange of short wave and long wave radiation.  

 

Elsewhere on Earth it's a matter of "shortwave in" (from outer-space) and "long-wave" out (from Planet Earth into outer-space.)   

 

So, an airborne "upwelling" occurs slightly above the oceans, and NOT in the oceans.  This is regarded as Latent Heat.  This process can be regarded as the inversion of heat.  The bottom line is that the oceans are not becoming bathtubs of scalding water, as certain political propagandists are claiming.  The existence of hurricanes prove this to be so.  Hurricanes are heat delivery systems.  Thus, the ocean isn't hording any excess heat, and hurricane make sure that they do not do so.

 

Next comes the ocean winds.  It is always the case, everywhere on Earth, that wind is a matter of high pressure air following (gravitating toward) low pressure air.  Low pressure is equated with warmer and more moist air.   Such air rises until it dries and compresses, it then descends toward Earth.  This is known as convection, and there are massive convection cells on Earth.  

 

This convection caused the existence of the Earth's major deserts being on the 30th parallel of both hemispheres, as well as at the Poles.  Yes, Antarctica is the largest desert on Earth, at 5.5 million square miles.  The Sahara is 3.5 million sq miles.

BTW, it can get really cold in the desert at night, due to "radiational cooling" (which is not to be confused with radiative cooling.)  Radiational cooling occurs when no clouds are present, to keep the heat from rising out of the desert.  In fact, cloudless winter nights are the coldest ones.

 

Concerning this, that which Al Gore and a couple former Russia Today hosts claimed about an Ice Age coming to Western Europe was proven completely false by the Summer heat of 2022.  Yes, the very heat used by TV news reporters as proof of co2-driven Climate Change actually disproved it.  Let us review:

 

The Climate Change marketers' claim was that global warming was causing excessive fresh-water snow & ice to melt off of Greenland, into the Atlantic Ocean.  The Freshwater would then lessen the salinity of the ocean, and would cause the flow of the Atlantic to slow down to point of causing an ice age in England, French, and Spain.  Well, in 2022, France endured the opposite of Ice Age weather.  All in all, the Greenland Freshwater Melt theory is a false one.

And concerning the "rising sea levels," it has been officially reported that the average sea level rise of Planet Earth was 7 to 9 inches since 1880.  That's a 140 year time span.  The yearly sea level rise average that was reported is equal to the thickness of the sides of two American pennies; about 3.5 or 3.6 mm.  Elsewhere come different numbers for yearly sea rise, such as 2.84 mm.  All numbers are quit small, but the essence is in the accumulative effect of ten, twenty, and thirty years.  This is explained elsewhere at the Blue Marble Album.

Back to Heat Island Effect

 

An example of how the heat island effect can become effectively deadly was the 2003 heatwave in France.  France?  How ironic!  Oh yes, I forgot.  Climate is cyclical and history repeats itself.  Incidentally, the other modern-era French climate tragedy was the heatwave of 1976.  You still remember 2019, so that is more current events than history.

Concerning the re-visitation of climate tragedy to France in 2022, remember that Global Warming is a habit.  It's an oft repeating pattern.  Sometimes, there is the emergence of a pattern, but such a thing turns out to be a cyclical one.  None the less, once-in-twenty-year events are not signs of global warming.  The warming in the middle of the Troposphere is.

 

There needs to be a cessation of the demonizing of co2.  Asphalt is a different story, even to the point of adopting the slogan, "Keep the co2, but replace the asphalt" (in reasonable time, after a replacement for asphalt has been prepared --- or by perhaps adding an environmentally friendly material that will lighten the color of asphalt and thereby increase asphalt's degree of Albedo.  After all, aged and grayed asphalt doesn't have the heat absorption power of new asphalt)  

 

However, don't think about adding a dye.  For the record, the early 20th Century research on chemical weapons used the dye industry for their deadly poison inventions.  Miles of molecular agents of that type placed on the major highways of America is social sabotage.  

 

Whatever be the case, literally keep Bill Gates out of the equation.  The guy wants you to eat mold, instead of consuming common dinner ingredients, such as steak, eggs, veggies, grain products, beets, potatoes, dairy products, protein powder, collagen powder, herbal teas, green tea, black tea, grapes, grape leaves, etc.  That one guy is Creep-out City.

None the less, that which the modern cities need the most is anything that will give a large area umbrella effect --- that which  makes large areas of shade.  The thing about the heat island effect in a city is that the heat contacts horizontal material like asphalt lots, and it contacts vertical structures called walls.  That adds to the heat effect.  So, shading, shading, shading does bring down the heat effect upon people enduring the heat.

Would anyone be interested in very large helium cartridge umbrellas that float over city blocks?  Just a thought.

 

Degrees of Albedo

 

~Green grass retains more heat than does desert sand.  Grass will absorb 75% of the solar radiation that lands on it, while desert sand will absorb 60%.  And yes, this fact is counter-intuitive, being that you have no problem walking on grass, compared to the burning sensation you get walking on summertime beach sand.  Therefore, green grass albedo is .25, and desert sand albedo is .40.  

 

So remember ===> Asphalt will retain and detain on the surface of the Earth 20% more heat than will a field of grass ... as in a baseball field.   At night, the heat releases from asphalt.

 

~The albedo of Arctic Ice and glacial ice in the average July is about .70.  Ice will absorb 20% to 30% of sunlight, during the six months when the sun never disappears behind Earth's horizon ... in the Arctic, that is.  In March or April, Arctic ice can have an albedo of .85 or so.  So, do not be deceived into thinking that ice reflects back 100% of the solar radiation into outer-space.

~In addition, the albedo of white clouds is about .80.  Clouds are not a 100% returner of sunlight, either.  Some heat is still retained.

In addition, an average sized cloud weighs over a million lbs. A floating cloud mass is millions of lbs.  This, too, is counter-intuitive, until you realize that millions of pounds of snow fall from those clouds during a substantial snowstorm.  In fact, a lot of atmospheric science is counter-intuitive or outright contradictory.   Atmospheric physics can be intricate, requiring equations in its understanding, just like any other science.  It's not as simplex as Al Gore made it out to be, in one of his absolutely worthless videos.

You perhaps have the general idea of Albedo, by now.   In as much, a lying propagandist looking for government funding, NGO donations, or the instituting of the carbon tax will say to an audience that CO2 drives the climate.  

As was previously mentioned, NASA had a different answer.  NASA claimed in public print that SUNLIGHT drives the Earth's climate.    My answer was that the Coriolis Effect and the Tilt of the Earth drive atmospheric climate, while Eckman Transport drives oceanic climate.  Just a thought.

 

Let us repeat.  The pre-Biden NASA managers publicly stated that:

 

"SUNLIGHT drives the Earth's climate."   Therefore . . .

 

You don't have to submit to the Climate Change bullies, even those bullies at the UN who don't belong to nations who landed on the Moon, landed on Venus, landed on Mars, landed on an occasional asteroid, sailed to the BOTTOM of the ocean, operate an Antarctic science research station, created long bridges maintain long tunnels, manage shipping lanes, etc.  

The truth is NOT on their side ... not even concerning July 2022.   They are blaming their poverty on the United States and Western Europe and even Japan and South Korea.  They are merely looking for an excuse to obtain sizable amounts of U.S. taxpayer dollars, by creating a sense of guilt in the U.S. taxpayer's mind, claiming that any heat wave is cause by the American automobile driver.  Are you holding back a giggle, yet?

 

Let's review:   You drive a car.  You crash into nobody, yet you killed people by driving your car.  That's the Climate change activists' summary.  Meanwhile, they expect you to take them seriously.

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:
