class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A guest opinion article in&nbsp;<em>The New York Times<\/em>&nbsp;by Zeke Hausfather, Ph.D, titled \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/10\/13\/opinion\/climate-change-excessive-heat-2023.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">I Study Climate Change. The Data Is Telling Us Something New<\/a>,\u201d suggests that a single record warm month of data is an indication of \u201cevidence that global warming has accelerated.\u201d The claim is false for four reasons; because a single month isn\u2019t representative of long term climate change, the data Hausfather cites isn\u2019t in agreement with other datasets, and it isn\u2019t representative of the globe, but a weather anomaly in Antarctica. Finally, the year-on-year increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide, said to drive such temperatures, wasn\u2019t enough to cause the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, one month of record high temperatures has nothing to do with long-term climate change, which is defined by the World Meteorological Organization as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/climateataglance.com\/climate-at-a-glance-weather-vs-climate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2026the average weather conditions for a particular location and over a long period of time.\u201d<\/a>&nbsp;To create a climate record, 30 years of weather data is averaged to create a \u201cnormal\u201d climate expectation for a location or region.&nbsp;What we experience on a day-to-day basis are weather events, not climate events. Weather is not climate and therefore one September record high temperature is not a climate change indicator. Hausfather, being a climate scientist,&nbsp;<em>should<\/em>&nbsp;<em>know this.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, given the emotional and unscientific opening statement made by Hausfather in the article, \u201c<em>Staggering. Unnerving. Mind-boggling. Absolutely gobsmackingly bananas,<\/em>\u201d it seems he is prone to emotions over fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One errant month of high temperature will in fact change the slope of any temperature graph upwards, but that is not an indication of acceleration, but rather an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Outlier\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">outlier data point<\/a>&nbsp;which are known to happen. For example, in figure 1, global&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.climate.gov\/news-features\/understanding-climate\/global-climate-summary-september-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">temperature data released by Climate.gov<\/a>&nbsp;shows what looks to be a clear data point outlier in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_7759\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climaterealism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/NOAA-september-2023-record.png?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climaterealism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/NOAA-september-2023-record.png?ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7759\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Figure 1.

Again, Hausfather should know better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The article goes on to claim:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As global temperatures shattered records and reached dangerous new highs over and over the past few months, my climate scientist colleagues and I&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ed_hawkins\/status\/1709825752705753105\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have<\/a>&nbsp;just about run out of adjectives to describe what we have seen. Data from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/berkeleyearth.org\/september-2023-temperature-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Berkeley Earth<\/a>&nbsp;released on Wednesday shows that September was an astounding 0.5 degree Celsius (almost a full degree Fahrenheit) hotter than the prior record, and July and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/berkeleyearth.org\/august-2023-temperature-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">August<\/a>&nbsp;were around 0.3 degree Celsius (0.5 degree Fahrenheit) hotter. 2023 is almost certain to be the hottest year since reliable global records began in the mid-1800s and probably for the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41561-019-0400-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">past 2,000 years<\/a>&nbsp;(and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/july-2023-is-hottest-month-ever-recorded-on-earth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">well before that<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note that we didn\u2019t have thermometers 2000 years ago, so this is pure speculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other datasets and scientists don\u2019t suggest that this summer or September was anything unusual, for example, climate scientist Roy Spencer, Ph.D, ran a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/climaterealism.com\/2023\/10\/no-news-media-the-summer-weather-data-doesnt-amount-to-climate-catastrophe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">guest essay<\/a>&nbsp;here in&nbsp;<em>Climate Realism<\/em>&nbsp;last week, saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRecord warmth\u201d in any given year is usually measured in mere fractions of a degree Fahrenheit. As&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncei.noaa.gov\/access\/monitoring\/climate-at-a-glance\/global\/time-series\/globe\/land_ocean\/3\/8\/1850-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">global data<\/a>&nbsp;from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration suggest, for example, this summer\u2019s \u201crecord\u201d (averaged from June through August) warmth averaged only 0.43 degrees warmer than in 2019 and 2020, the next-warmest years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The small difference in average temperature also comes with wide variation, which makes climate change considerably more nuanced than usually reported by the mainstream media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Natural weather patterns, including a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/iri.columbia.edu\/our-expertise\/climate\/forecasts\/enso\/current\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">growing El Ni\u00f1o event<\/a>, contributed to the warm summer and September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thirdly, not all of the Earth was abnormally warm. In fact, the real \u201cspike\u201d in temperature was limited mostly to a place that didn\u2019t get above freezing \u2013 Antarctica. While Hausfather and excitable journalists are now telling the world how hot and terrible September was, the bottom line is that the winter temperatures in Antarctica, also a weather event, we less cold than normal. This is easily seen from two graphs provided by NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) that produces a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/data.giss.nasa.gov\/gistemp\/maps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GISTEMP product<\/a>&nbsp;illustrating the issue, seen in Figure 2A and 2B below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_7762\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climaterealism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/GISS-figure2A-Screenshot-2023-10-17-1.png?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climaterealism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/GISS-figure2A-Screenshot-2023-10-17-1.png?ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7762\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Figure 2A \u2013 September global temperature anomaly from NASA GISS.

Note the big temperature spike on the left side where Antarctica is located in the Southern hemisphere.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clearly, the \u201chottest\u201d place on the planet in September was Antarctica, yet the temperature over the continent didn\u2019t get above freezing during the Sothern Hemisphere Antarctic Winter (opposite of our summer in the Northern Hemisphere). It was just \u201cless cold\u201d than normal. That\u2019s hardly a reason for concern, but the big spike in Antarctic temperature skewed the global data to make it look like the places that matter, where the world population lives was abnormally hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally as outlined in the&nbsp;<em>Heartland Daily News<\/em>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/heartlanddailynews.com\/2023\/08\/climate-change-weekly-479-hot-summer-due-to-many-factors-carbon-dioxide-emissions-are-not-one-of-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hot Summer Due to Many Factors\u2014Carbon Dioxide Emissions Are Not One of Them.<\/a>&nbsp;there was a wide variety of other factors to consider: blocking weather patterns, solar activity, increased water vapor, El Ni\u00f1o, and an increasingly active sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the NOAA&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gml.noaa.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Global Monitoring Laboratory<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide increase from September 2022 to September 2023 went from approximately 416 to 418 parts per million (PPM). Just 2PPM increase isn\u2019t enough to explain the jump in temperature. In fact, according to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gml.noaa.gov\/ccgg\/trends\/weekly.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this data graph<\/a>, that\u2019s much less than the yearly global variation of atmospheric carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In summary, this end paragraph from the&nbsp;<em>Heartland Daily News&nbsp;<\/em>article says it best:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, there is a complex explanation for the complex weather patterns that have prevailed this summer. Multiple geologic, solar, meteorological, and atmospheric events have occurred simultaneously, resulting in unusually high summer temperatures obtaining over much of the world. Fossil fuel use does not cause volcanic eruptions, oceanic and wind current shifts, or changes in solar activity, thus climate change cannot fairly be blamed for the present pattern of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/climateataglance.com\/climate-at-a-glance-u-s-heatwaves\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">heatwaves,<\/a>&nbsp;which long-term&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rogerpielkejr.substack.com\/p\/what-the-media-wont-tell-you-about-9f9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">data show have not increased<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, as stated before, climate scientist Zeke Hausfather should know better than to write up a scare story about temperature with the adjectives \u201c<em>Staggering.
