“Almost tied as the warmest June”
is NOT
“the hottest on record.",
as the
Washington Post lied
to the American people !
June 2020 was not
the hottest June
on record.
No scientist
said it was.
The Washington
(com)Post did not care
what the scientists said !
The European Union
climate scientists
actually said this:
“Globally,
temperatures last month
were +0.53°C warmer
than the average June
from 1981-2010,
almost tied as
the warmest June
in this record and with the
Siberian Arctic experiencing
the most above-average
conditions.
In Europe,
temperatures were
far above average
in the north
but below average
in the south,
overall tying as
the second warmest
European June
in our record.”
Previously, in late June,
the mainstream media
claimed that Verkhoyansk,
Russia reached the
hottest ever temperature
above the Arctic Circle.
Not mentioned:
A warmer, 100-degree F
temperature was reported
above the Arctic Circle
over 100 years ago !
Also not reported,
Verkhoyansk, Russia,
had snow just
two weeks later !
two weeks later !
That snow did not fit
the climate alarmist
narrative, so the snow
was never reported
by the mainstream media.
For Russia, the so-called
hottest-ever June on record
certainly applied to
the weather in Siberia,
but
most of the rest of Russia
was cooler than normal !
Looking at the most accurate,
and nearly global, temperature
data collection methodology,
as measured by NASA satellites,
there was no global heat
record for June 2020.
Satellite measurement data
reported that June 2019
was warmer than June 2020.
Dr. John Christy,
the senior scientist
in charge of satellite data
at the University of Alabama,
Huntsville, said:
“June was not a record for
Global, Northern Hemisphere,
Southern Hemisphere,
or the Tropics.”
NOTE:
Use of NASA
weather satellites
to measure
troposphere
temperatures.
The troposphere
is where the greenhouse
gas warming effect
occurs, and the best
place for nearly global
measurements in a
constant environment.
Only small areas over
both poles can not
be measured and must
be estimated.
Surface temperature "data"
include far more wild
guesses, made to sound
scientific by using the
term "infilling" (missing data).
NASA has repeatedly claimed
heat records within Africa
where there are NO
weather stations -- they just
make up the number,
and claim record heat !
Since late 1978, several
polar-orbiting satellites
carried some form
of a microwave sensor
to monitor atmospheric
temperatures.
These spacecraft
circle the globe,
roughly pole-to-pole,
making a complete orbit
in about 100 minutes.
They are sun-synchronous,
so the Earth rotates, on its axis
underneath, as the spacecraft
orbits pole to pole, so the
entire planet is observed
in a single Earth-rotation
( one day ).
The intensity of microwave
emissions from atmospheric
oxygen are directly proportional
to temperature, allowing
a conversion of these
measurements to temperature.
Emissions come from
most of the atmosphere,
so they represent a
deep layer-average
temperature, such as the
lower troposphere
(LT, surface to ~ 9 km),
and the
mid- troposphere
(MT, surface to ~ 15 km).
The University
of Alabama
in Huntsville
(UAH), and
The Remote Sensing
Systems (RSS),
produce averages
every month,
of both products.
