NOAA has released its summer 2024 (June through August) contiguous U.S. maximum temperatures (shown below) clearly demonstrating the dust bowl era period of the 1930’s remain the highest summer temperatures measured in the U.S.

This outcome is despite more than 4 decades of failed climate alarmism propaganda claims hyping phony politically driven schemes wasting trillions of dollars based on falsely alleging that we face (what we can now see) is a clearly non-existent “climate emergency”.  

NOAA’s contiguous U.S. maximum summer temperature data (shown below) clearly demonstrates that the decade of the 1930s dominate the highest measured summer temperatures with these outcomes driven by natural climate behavior.

Additionally, NOAA has released its Contiguous U.S. Maximum Temperature Anomaly data through August 2024 (shown below) clearly showing that there is no consistent upward trend established by these measurements during the period 2005 through August 2024. This data does not support alarmists’ phony political claims of a “climate emergency”.

Furthermore, NOAA’s Regional U.S. maximum temperature data for all 9 regions shows these regions did not experience a record high summer 2024 temperature outcome.      

Climate alarmists have hyped that this year’s hurricane season is going to be one of the highest ever experienced with this claim unsupported by the latest hurricane results data (shown below) from the Colorado State University tropical storm data center.

The data demonstrates that the total global ACE for the entire Northern Hemisphere is only about 2/3rds of the 30-year measured average. Again, the climate alarmist election year political hype is unsupported.

As usual the media climate alarmist hype is erroneous and unsupported by measured data.

In fact, such highly relevant data is concealed, ignored and completely misrepresented to serve purely political climate alarmist purposes – with heightened deceit in this election year.
