Last week, while eulogizing the collapse of another hurricane season – during a super hot summer narrative season – I hinted at the latest caterwauling by the climate cult. OMG, September was so darn hot; it’s a record. Hardly.
But, but September’s temperature anomaly, you say, yes, it looks like a hockey stick, and we know how much the Cult loves those when they feed the proper narratives.
That’s a thing, ain’t it? Despite the lack of satellite data prior to 1979, one might be willing to accept the super-hot-September narrative without question. Many have and will and do, but they’d be jumping to conclusions.
Locally, the US anomaly was pedestrian at best.
A different look here: this is the three-month anomaly for the contiguous US. Not only was this summer, not the hottest (last year was hotter), but the summer of 1936 had a greater anomaly than any other year in the record, and none of that excess CO2 we are told is going to mean our end. The only thing scary is how natural and cyclical this record looks absent the Climate Cult narrative bias.
And?
This is all NOAA’s data, and NOAA is run by NASA, which means it is NASA data, and this isn’t exactly friendly to anyone who is not a card-carrying member of the Climate Cult.
But, but Global temperatures, they’ll cry – when the data winks at them and shows a little leg. When things are going the other way, as they have been for over a decade, there’s nothing to see.
Put differently, the climate is a series of years, decades, and sometimes centuries of trending that can’t be captured in one month or even three. The data we have is not even a wink in the history of Earth’s climate, which the secularists of scientism will remind us is older than the Bible claims. True dat, but so is the climate record, and it is not favorable to the approved cult narrative.
The current trend continues to be hospitable to life on earth but is more likely to get colder, making it less so while the Progs and their Green Army of idiots are working double-time to make getting warm nearly impossible.
