Editor\u2019s note: This summary serves as a fact check on the biggest false claims made in the media in July, 2024. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As has been the case for the past year, NASA satellite data has its \u201caverage global temperature\u201d running warmer:<\/p>\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the average of real-time surface stations measurements as presented by\u00a0Temperature.global<\/a>\u00a0still has the Earth in a cooling trend since January 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n

We heard a lot about how hot July was, from the \u201chottest day(s) on record\u201d to Death Valley having the hottest month for any place on record. But funny thing happened on the way to the \u201chot\u201d party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite 600 billion tons of emissions and 12 years of urban heat island effect, July 2024 was cooler than July 2012<\/a> in the US in terms of average temperature and average maximum temperature. As the US is a non-trivial portion of the Earth\u2019s surface, that\u2019s no endorsement of the basic climate hoax that every emission warms and drives global warming.<\/p>\n\n\n
