From Watts Up With That?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guest Essay by Larry Hamlin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The usual climate alarmists\u2019 suspects are at it again trying to use the scientifically flawed claim that a single May 2024 global average temperature anomaly data point can characterize that the \u201cworld\u201d must be the \u201chottest\u201d it\u2019s ever been as hyped below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alarmists also grossly misrepresent that the earth has exceeded a 1.5 degrees threshold temperature limit that is nothing but an arbitrary and purely politically contrived alarmist propaganda claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Of course, this purely politically contrived climate alarmist hype tells us absolutely nothing about the actual measured temperature anomalies or absolute temperatures at any specific location anywhere in the world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOAA data through May 2024 for the Contiguous U.S. (shown below<\/a>) overwhelmingly establishes that the U.S. is not having the \u201chottest ever maximum temperature anomaly\u201d<\/strong>. The U.S. is not experiencing any established increasing upward trend in maximum temperature anomaly values since at least the year 2005<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Furthermore, the\u00a0highest May maximum temperature anomaly in the Contiguous U.S. occurred in May 1934<\/strong>\u00a0as shown below\u00a0at 5.66 degrees F versus 1.22 degrees\u00a0<\/strong>F (shown in red highlights above) in May 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

There isn\u2019t a shred of scientific evidence that the U.S. maximum temperature anomalies or maximum absolute temperatures (addressed below) are at all unusual. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking at NOAA \u2018s maximum temperatures for the Contiguous U.S. (shown below<\/a>) we see that May 2024 was only the 106th<\/sup> highest May (at 74.68 degrees F highlighted in red) out of 130 total measurement months with the highest May ever measured occurring in 1934 at 79.21 degrees F.  May 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Looking at NOAA\u2019s data for the maximum measured temperature in California (shown below<\/a>) we see that May 2024 was only the 96th<\/sup>\u00a0highest measured May (at 76.8 degrees F as highlighted in red below) out of a total of 130 measurements with May 2001 being the highest ever California maximum (at 83.8 degrees F) measured temperature.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Looking at NOAA\u2019s data for the maximum temperature measured in May 2024 for Los Angeles (shown below<\/a>) we see this month is only the 38th<\/sup>\u00a0highest measured May (at 66.4 degrees F highlighted in red) out of 80 May measurement values. The highest maximum May temperature in Los Angeles was in May 2014 at 75.8 degrees F.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Climate alarmists conceal the lack of validity in their use of a single global average temperature anomaly value to falsely hype that the world is the \u201chottest\u201d ever when, in fact,\u00a0this climate alarmist propaganda claim applies to no specific location anywhere on earth including the Contiguous U.S. or the state of California or the city of Los Angeles or other global locations.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
