All the k00ks have been pointing to temps in Death Valley this week as a "Seee?!!" event. LOL.....I went back and checked the records.......1913 still holds the record for high temperature. 135 degrees!!!

Ummm......think maybe that is why they call it "Death Valley"??

dUh!!!

Was hotter in the 1930's...

Meteorologist: ‘This Heat Wave Is Child’s Play Compared to 1930s'
August 15, 2016 – Meteorologist Joe Bastardi says the current heat wave in most parts of the U.S. – which tied the 135-year-old record temperature in Washington, D.C. on Saturday – is “child’s play compared to the 1930s.”

The National Weather Service (NWS) issued an "excessive heat warning" for "a prolonged period of dangerously hot temperatures" for much of the East coast, which remains in effect until 8 pm on Tuesday. According to the NWS, the temperature at Ronald Reagan International Airport hit 101 degrees on Saturday, tying the old record of 101 degrees set on Aug. 13, 1881. But if global temperatures are getting warmer because of manmade activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, why was it so hot 135 years ago? CNSNews.com asked Bastardi, who is currently the chief forecaster at Weather Bell Analytics and the former chief long-range forecaster at Accuweather. “There is no question this weekend was hot, with temperatures challenging and breaking records across the northeast,” Bastardi replied. “But to offer some perspective, many of these records went back to the 1800s, which meant [that] even without urban buildup, it was just as hot then.” Bastardi added that 101 degrees is nothing compared to the heat wave that struck the Washington region back in the 1930s.

Long before SUVs and the term “carbon footprint” were invented, Americans endured sweltering heat waves, such as the summer of 1930, he said. “Washington area farmers were certainly not spared in 1930, as intense, prolonged hot spells gripped the region during late July and early August,” according to a 2010 article in the Washington Post. “The official temperature recorded on July 20 was 106°F, which holds the record as the highest temperature ever recorded in Washington. “Unofficially, 110°F was recorded that same day on Pennsylvania Avenue and 108°F at the National Cathedral,” the article continued. The summer of 1930 also set the record at 11 for number of days where temperatures reached or exceeded 100°F. “By the end of the summer of 1930, approximately 30 deaths in Washington were blamed on the heat and thousands more had died nationwide,” the Post article said. “In Washington, there has never been another summer with a heat wave that has equaled the summer of 1930.” “This shows you this heat wave is child’s play compared to the 1930s in D.C.,” Bastardi told CNSNews.com.

Another deadly heat wave happened in 1896, killing more than 1,500 people. “One of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history was the 10-day heat wave of 1896, but it is largely forgotten to history,” according to an article archived by the New England Historical Society. “For 10 days starting on August 1, the temperature soared to 90 degrees and higher, while staying above 70 degrees at night. “Humidity hovered at 90 percent, and here wasn’t a breath of wind,” the article continued. “From Boston to New York to Chicago, more than 1,500 people died from heat prostration or related illnesses. “More people died in the stifling heat than in the Great Chicago Fire or the New York draft riots,” it said.

Bastardi told CNSNews that the cyclical El Nino ocean pattern, which is linked to a periodic warming of sea surface temperatures, is what's really noteworthy this year. “What is spectacular this year is the warmth of the ocean off the mid-Atlantic coast and the Chesapeake Bay, which helps out with the overall hot pattern,” Bastardi explained. “The warmer the source regions for what would be some cooling, such as the ocean and the bay, the less influence it has on knocking down high temps.” In fact, Bastardi pointed out that Weather Bell Analytics predicted back in February that this summer would be a hot one. “The hottest June-August period nationwide since 2012 is on the way,” the Weather Bell team predicted.

2012 Smashes Record For Hottest Year In The Lower 48

It's official, federal scientists say 2012 was the hottest year on record for the Lower 48 States. In fact, the average shattered the previous record set in 1998.

Here's NPR science correspondent Richard Harris.

RICHARD HARRIS, BYLINE: We didn't need to wait for the end of the year to know that 2012 was miserably hot and miserably dry. Still, Jake Couch, at the National Climatic Data Center, put it on the record today.

JAKE COUCH: Two thousand twelve marked the warmest year on record for contiguous U.S., with the year consisting of a record warm spring, the second warmest summer, fourth warmest winter, and a warmer than average autumn.

Hmmmmmmmmmm....................................

Well, it was a record for data manipulation in an effort to support a narrative...

 

[Crick]

Damn that's convenient. Let me try.

Everything you post is fraudulent crap.

There, I guess we're done.

Nice try...except I can provide graph after graph after graph of data alteration that has happened with no rational, scientifically valid reason for the alteration...you never have explained how altering temperatures from more than a half a century ago and more have made the record more accurate...

 

[Crick]

The people who have done so have explained it and its been posted here on multiple occasions.

How about you show us graph after graph after graph of data that does NOT show global warming?

I asked for a rational scientifically valid reason to alter temperatures from half a century and more ago....they haven't provided any such explanation.

Who said that the earth isn't warming? It has been warming for at least the past 14,000 years.....and will continue till the onset of the next deep ice age. What exactly do you think a graph that shows some warming proves with regard to CO2?

 

[Crick]

When you say that you haven't been provided any such explanation, you are lying.

Why has the rate of warming increased so radically over the last 150 years? Do you have a cause?

 

[SSDD]

When you say that you haven't been provided any such explanation, you are lying.

If I said that no explanation had been given I would be lying...when I say that no rational, scientifically valid explanation has been given, it is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Why has the rate of warming increased so radically over the last 150 years? Do you have a cause?

Who says that it has....record temperatures by hundredths of a degree as stated by records that are so heavily massaged that they bear little, if any resemblance to the raw data....and aside from that, what proxy record are you using that would allow you to make any sort of claim regarding the rate of temperature increase for a period of 150 years?...the answer is no proxy record...so once again...you are lying...just making crap up as you go in an attempt to get someone else on board with your fantasy.

 

[SSDD]

What's the matter crick...don't care to state which proxy record has such resolution that it allows you to make 150 year observations on rates of temperature increase...or just don't care to admit that there is no such proxy record and that you were, in fact, just talking out of your ass....so much for yet another claim that you made...that being that you admit it when you make an error.
