Last week, the\u00a0BBC reported<\/a>\u00a0that seawater along the tip of Florida had exceeded \u201chot tub\u201d temperatures of 37.8\u00b0C (100\u00b0F) in recent days, \u201cmaking it potentially the hottest ever measured\u201d. The\u00a0Guardian<\/a><\/em>\u00a0was in fine alarmist form noting that the Florida recording posed a threat to human food supplies and the livelihoods of those working in the water. Similar hysteria was to be found across most of the mainstream media. Alas, curiously missing from all this excitable coverage was a note that just 48 hours later the temperature plummeted to around 85\u00b0F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reading was taken from a buoy in Manatee Bay which is managed by the Everglades National Park, and located north of Key Largo. The upper left graph below shows that the temperature moved between 90-101\u00b0F on consecutive days, then fell away rapidly to around 85\u00b0F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Examining the \u2018record\u2019 on the climate site\u00a0Watts Up With That?<\/a><\/em>, the former ecology lecturer Jim Steele observed that water temperatures were being driven by dynamics other than rising CO2<\/sub>. Steele noted that the Manatee Bay buoy measuring the water temperature was in a small embayment surrounded by landform and this forms a natural hot tub. Low winds and a high pressure system further helped heat the bay, while muddy waters darkened the water enhancing solar heating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steele noted that the science of solar ponds has shown that when fresh water overlayed saltier water, heat gets trapped, and temperatures can be as much as 60\u00b0F hotter than the surface at depths between five and 10 feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To maintain the \u201ccrisis hoax\u201d, Steele suggests it\u2019s also important to ignore conflicting data. Southern Florida has several buoys, some measuring water temperature, some air and some both. Just 56 miles to the south-west of Manatee Bay, the VAKF1 buoy measured water temperatures that were 10\u00b0F lower than Manatee Bay on those same days, as shown in the lower left graph (above), which then cooled to 86\u00b0F. Manatee Bay lacked air temperature data but VAKF1 reported a high air temperature of 91\u00b0F (lower right graph) which then cooled to the low 80\u00b0Fs, even dipping to 76\u00b0F. \u201cThese air temperatures don\u2019t even approach being unprecedented,\u201d said Steele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jim Steele has a\u00a0lifetime\u2019s experience<\/a>\u00a0in working for environmental education projects. For 25 years he ran the Sierra Nevada Field Campus for San Francisco State University. As part of one monitoring project, he studied the effect of regional climate change on bird populations in the Sierra Nevada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mainstream media are now clearly in the grip of a climate catastrophisation mania where activists scour the world for any unusual weather event or recording. Normal reporting standards seem to have been abandoned in the rush to scare populations to comply with the collectivist Net Zero agenda. Top level politicians encourage widespread panic with Al Gore ranting about \u201cboiling oceans\u201d, while a deranged Antonio Guterres claimed earlier this week that we live in an age of \u201cglobal boiling\u201d. At a stroke, the UN Secretary General seems to have retired the Guardian\u2019s \u2018Global Heating\u2019 invention. Last year\u2019s Nobel Physics Laureate Dr. John Clauser says the climate narrative has corrupted his beloved science. Meanwhile, global boiling is promoted as global surface temperatures are retrospectively adjusted upwards by state-funded bodies, while the accurate satellite record shows a near nine-year pause. In the U.K., the Met Office happily uses corrupted station temperature data that the World Meteorology Organisation states has a error estimate of up to 2\u00b0C. The British weather service still seems inordinately proud of its 60-second U.K. heat record last year, despite evidence that three Typhoon jets were landing around the time on the runway next to the measuring devise at RAF Coningsby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, the BBC\u2019s Georgina Rannard\u00a0wrote a story<\/a>\u00a0asking if the Gulf Stream could collapse by 2025. This is pure\u00a0Day After Tomorrow<\/em>\u00a0sci-fi territory, promoting fears of catastrophic cooling in the northern hemisphere, with widespread impacts across the planet. Again the story was all over the mainstream media with\u00a0USA Today<\/em>\u00a0reporting<\/a>\u00a0the Atlantic Ocean currents could soon collapse, adding, \u201chow you may endure dramatic weather changes\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story originated from a\u00a0recently published scientific paper<\/a>\u00a0and was pure clickbait for impressionable activists. The claims are based on limited observation evidence producing computer model projections. The authors state \u201cwith high confidence\u201d that the change will occur between 2025-2095. However, the paper does contain this massive caveat, which went unreported in any of the media coverage: this prediction is only valid \u201cunder the assumption that the model is approximately correct, and we of course, cannot rule out that other mechanisms are at play, and thus, the uncertainty is larger\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Needless to say, the story went around the world and was reported in blazing headlines. However, it seems eyebrows are starting to be raised about this sort of guff, even in alarmist circles. The climate alarmist\u2019s climate alarmist is Professor Michael \u2018Hockey Stick\u2019 Mann of Penn University, but rerunning the\u00a0Day After Tomorrow\u00a0<\/em>script was not wholly to his taste. According to USA Today, he said: \u201cI\u2019m not sure the authors bring much to the table other than a fancy statistical method. History is littered with flawed predictions based on fancy statistical methods; sometimes they\u2019re too fancy for their own good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
