Even with their rigged data (suppressed past and elevated present), the summer of 2024 was not the hottest thing to ever happen to humans in America. Seven previous June-Aug contiguous terms were higher, including 1934 and 1936, the reigning number one and number two on record.
The 2024 contiguous maximum three-month average was 86.56°. The Summer of ’34 was 87.27 ° ° while in 1936, the three-month contiguous maximum average was 87.89°. There was not a lot of CO2 in the atmosphere back then, but what’s crazy is that as CO2 rose, the summers got cooler.
It’s almost as if something else was driving the climate. And why was the summer of 1992 one of the coldest on record? They can’t say because the goal is to convince you your emissions are the problem or, at the very least, that you should let an institution that can’t get much else right rob you blind under the pretense that it can fix this.
