Tedros Ghebreyesus,<\/a> director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, \u201cThe hottest month [July] just ended. We witnessed scorching heat, extreme weather events, wildfires, and severe health consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added, \u201cIt\u2019s a stark reminder of the urgent need for collective action to address climate change. Let\u2019s use this alarming milestone to fuel our determination for bold climate action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTogether, we can turn up the heat on sustainable solutions and create a cooler, more resilient world for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myron Ebel, director and senior fellow at the Center for Energy and Environment, notes that while June and July were hot in many locations, others \u2014 such as Los Angeles with the 10th coolest June on recent record according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) \u2014 experienced below-average temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 27, President Biden stated that \u201crecord temperatures \u2014 and I mean record \u2014 are now affecting more than 100 million Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puerto Rico reached a 125-degree heat index last month. San Antonio hit an all-time heat index high of 117 last month.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than citing actual temperatures where, according to the National Weather Service<\/a> (NWS), Puerto Rico on the day referenced was 95 degrees \u2014 not 125 \u2014 since index measurements combine temperature and relative humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the NWS, San Antonio\u2019s 117-degree heat index that month resulted from just three days<\/a> of 105-degree June 19-21 temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And whereas Houston experienced 10-degree-higher-than-average July temperatures, some rural Texas towns such as Water Valley<\/a> at 99.8 degrees compared with a prior 97-degree average reflected little change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climatologist professor John Christy<\/a>, director of the University of Alabama \u2014 Huntsville Earth Science Center, points out that, \u201cRegionally, the West has seen its largest number of hot summer records in the past 100 years, but the Ohio Valley and Upper Midwest are experiencing their fewest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Christy,  a former NASA scientist, observes, \u201cFor the conterminous U.S. as a whole, the last ten years have produced only an average number of records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe 1930s are still champs [for producing the most 100-plus temperature days in a year].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conveniently omitted in alarmist reports is U.S. Historical Climate Network (USHCN) temperature<\/a> data for contiguous states revealing that the number of days over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 degrees Celsius), which peaked in the 1930s has been in an 80-year overall decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bear in mind that this preceded the 1940s when World War II weapons industries released massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, global temperatures declined in fits-and-starts from the mid-1940s until the late 1970s, when most of the climate science establishment and media predicted the beginning of the next Ice Age with galloping glaciers threatening Manhattan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A decade later, abetted by then-Sen. Al Gore\u2019s feverish 1988 hearings in Congress in concert with the U.N.\u2019s obsession with passing the Kyoto Protocol global wealth redistribution plan capping CO2 in developed countries \u2014 mainly the U.S. \u2014 its Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) declared an opposite and imminent global warming emergency which continues to give a pass to China, the world\u2019s largest emitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas Christy and virtually all other informed climatologists fully recognize that climate obviously changes due to numerous complex natural factors and that a warming trend has ensued since the three-century-long so-called \u201cLittle Ice Age\u201d ended in the mid-1800s, we shouldn\u2019t confuse 30-year-long climate attributions with decadal and shorter regional weather patterns and occurrences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christie told the Epoch Times that global satellite readings he measured with meteorologist colleague Roy Spencer, which go back only to 1979, show that while last July was the warmest by about a quarter of a degree, an \u201cearly and strong El Ni\u00f1o\u201d was a \u201cmajor factor\u201d in the increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The term \u201cEl Ni\u00f1o\u201d refers to entirely natural, relatively short multi-year periodic events in the Pacific Ocean leading to warmer temperatures in North and South America, which are typically followed by La Ni\u00f1a\u2019s that reverse results to cooler circumstances with trade winds that push warm water toward Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All-in-all, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data does show that average global surface temperatures have increased by two degrees Fahrenheit (1 degree Celsius) since the pre-industrial era (1880-1900), and few will argue that CO2 hasn\u2019t had some (yet unmeasurable) contribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirming that recent satellite data shows global temperatures rising steadily at about 0.23 degrees Fahrenheit every decade, Christy nevertheless emphasizes that we should understand that this current trend is bouncing back from the 19th century, one of the coldest in the last 10,000 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Roman Warm Period two thousand years ago was as warm or warmer, as the Medieval Warm Period a thousand years ago \u2014 long before mankind introduced smokestacks and SUVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s also be mindful that CO2 is essential plant food that satellites reveal is making our world greener, extending growing seasons, feeding more people and other of God\u2019s creatures, and fundamentally extending and improving our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, whereas President Biden claims, \u201cI don\u2019t think anybody can deny the impact of climate change anymore,\u201d where \u201cthe No. 1 weather-related killer is heat \u2014 <\/strong>600 people die annually from its effects,\u201d he fails to mention that cold weather conditions kill far more each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Breakthrough Institute<\/a>, heat is responsible for about 500,000 annual deaths worldwide, while cold temperatures account for 4.6 million excess fatalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also high time for Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus to come clean and set records straight on WHO\u2019s botched information about COVID-19 before again misrepresenting facts about the weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
