Editor\u2019s note: This summary serves as a fact check on the biggest false claims made in the media in August, 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 Temperature.global still has the Earth in a cooling trend since January 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, on to this month\u2019s fact checks.<\/p>\n\n\n

Finally, we\u2019ll close by noting that although the\u00a0Washington Post<\/em>\u00a0bemoaned the US summer as \u201canother brutally hot summer,<\/a>\u201d the average maximum temperature for the US in August 2024 was 2\u00b0F cooler than for August 1983. That\u2019s 41 years of emission-driven warming down the drain.<\/p>\n\n\n
