‘Statistical garbage’: Watch: Morano on Varney on Fox debunking ‘hottest day ever’ & ‘unprecedented’ heatwave claims: Based on models that ‘invent temperatures where none exist’ & ‘Biden’s EPA shows 1930s U.S. heat waves were by far much hotter’

Marc Morano Appears on FBN’s ‘Varney & Company’ to Discuss Hottest Average Global Temperature – Fox Business Network – Broadcast July 24, 2024 

Excerpts:

Stuart Varney: Sunday was the hottest temperature ever recorded on earth — for the whole earth. The next day, Monday, the world got hotter still, with the global average temperature going to 62.87 degrees Fahrenheit. Climatedepot.com executive editor Marc Morano joining me now. The hottest day ever recorded on earth, and everybody will take this as evidence of global warming. What’s your response?

Morano: “You have to understand what this is and what this means. Every year now, they’re trying to claim the ‘hottest day ever.’ Go back five to 10 years, and they used to claim the hottest year or decade. Now we’re reduced to the ‘hottest day’. Climate skeptics have been ridiculed if they suggested a cold winter or cold winter day or a snowstorm is evidence that climate change isn’t real. And now, one single day is used as evidence of man-made global warming.

The Copernicus Climate Change Service admits this is a statistical analysis based on climate models and openly concedes they invent temperatures where none exist. They construct climate models, they can control all the inputs. This is statistical garbage.

See: Copernicus Climate Change Service website:

Morano: But even this temperature claim, which the Washington Post hypes, admits it’s indistinguishable from the previous year, hundredths of a degree difference —  which is well within the margin of error. In other words, it’s a political statement meant to get us scared that the earth is boiling.

Stuart Varney: Is the world hotter now than in the 1930s?

Morano: …Joe Biden’s EPA shows 1930s U.S. heat waves were by far much hotter than anything we’re experiencing today and 75, 76% of all states set their high temperature record before 1955. That gives you an idea of unprecedented heat and doesn’t hold up to NOAA data or EPA or National Climate Assessment. They know this, and this is pure hype.

Background info: 

“We are in truly uncharted territory,” Copernicus director Carlo Buontempo said in a statement. “And as the climate keeps warming, we are bound to see records being broken in future months and years.”

Morano: There is nothing unusual or unprecedented about the heat waves in 2024. The media and climate activists have Weaponized the heat waves to try to make us believe that they are somehow worse than ever and a result of man-made climate change. Yet the Biden administration’s own environmental protection agency reveals the simple truth. Heat waves were much, much worse in the past.

The 1930s heat waves were significantly hotter than today’s.

Here is the Biden/Harris EPA data:

The Biden/Harris EPA data reveals U.S. heatwaves in the 1930s were significantly hotter than they are today

Morano: Other Government agencies, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Federal National Climate Assessments, confirm this heat wave reality as well.

NOAA data reveals USA heatwaves much hotter in past: ’38/50 states or 76% recorded their high-temperature records before 1955 – 43 states measured their high temp records in or before 1985′

Morano: Yet, the media and climate activists engaging in the ‘casino effect’ to hype heatwaves.  You walk into a casino and see a wall of slot machine winners. There’s a $10,000 winner, there’s a $100,000 winner — look, that person won $300,000. And you think to yourself, ‘I’ve got to play the slots; everyone’s winning.’ It gives you the impression that everywhere, they’re paying out huge sums, and you’ve got to play slots because you’ll be a winner too. Your chances of winning the lottery are very low. The chance of someone somewhere winning the lottery is very high. Climate activists are trying to scare the public into believing that they are one heatwave away from doom and only EPA or the Green New Deal or the UN Paris climate pact can save them!

Meanwhile, climate-related deaths have dropped

Morano: The heatwaves are so weaponized that a former federal prosecutor wants to punish energy companies:

Climate Murder: Former Federal Prosecutor calls for climate ‘2nd-degree murder prosecutions’ against ‘Big Oil’ for heat wave deaths in Arizona

‘Climate crisis’ illness?! NBC News: White House to unveil a ‘national dashboard’ for tracking ‘heat-related illnesses nationwide’ due to the ‘growing impacts of the climate crisis’ – August 10, 2023

Morano: Get ready CNN and MSNBC to pound stories like this frequently, and couple it with daily tallies of an alleged climate change ‘death toll’, all designed to spur calls for the need to take drastic ‘climate action’ to stop the deaths from our alleged ‘climate emergency.

Climate Depot Reality Check:

The same claims of “hottest day” were made in 2023, also based on the output of a climate model and not actually measured temperatures.

Hottest 12 Months for 125,000 Years Claim Lacks Any Scientific Evidence

January 11, 2024

Chris Morrison of Daily Skeptic: Last year humanity lived through the hottest 12 months in at least 125,000 years, reported an hysterical CNN, a frame of mind replicated throughout much of the mainstream media. …

Accurate temperature records barely started before the 20th century, and recent measurements by fixed thermometers have been heavily corrupted by growing urban heat. It is in fact possible using proxy measurements to get a good idea of general temperature movements over the last 125,000 years.

All the evidence points to periods of much higher temperatures, notably between 10,000 to 5,000 years ago.

The latest science paper examining this trend has just been published, and it points to summer temperatures at least 1.5°C higher around 5,000 years ago in the eastern Mediterranean, at a time when civilization was developing rapidly.

Top climate scientists rubbish claims July was the hottest month ever – Public being ‘misinformed on a massive scale’

August 3, 2023

Via The Australian: Cliff Mass, professor of Atmospheric Sciences at University of Washington, said the public was being ‚”” misinformed on a massive scale “” It’s terrible. I think it’s a disaster. There’s a stunning amount of exaggeration and hype of extreme weather and heatwaves, and it’s very counter-productive,”” he told The Australian in an interview‚”” I’m not a contrarian. I’m pretty mainstream in a very large [academic] department, and I think most of these claims are unfounded and problematic.””

Professor Mass said the climate was ”radically warmer” around 1000 years ago during what’s known as the Medieval Warm Period when agriculture thrived in parts of now ice-covered Greenland. ‚””If you really go back far enough there were swamps near the North Pole, and the other thing to keep in mind is that we’re coming out of a cold period, a Little Ice Age from roughly 1600 to 1850.”

John Christy, a professor of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Alabama at Huntsville, said heatwaves in the first half of the 20th century were at least as intense as those of more recent decades based on consistent, long-term weather stations going back over a century‚ “”I haven’t seen anything yet this summer that’s an all-time record for these long-term stations, 1936 still holds by far the record for the most number of stations with the hottest-ever temperatures,”” he told The Australian, referring to the year of a great heatwave in North America that killed thousands.

Professor Christy said an explosion of the number of weather stations in the US and around the world had made historical comparisons difficult because some stations only went back a few years; meanwhile, creeping urbanization had subjected existing weather stations to additional heat. “”In Houston, for example, in the centre it is now between 6 and 9 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the surrounding countryside,”” he explained in an interview with The Australian.

Professor Christy, conceding a slight warming trend over the last 45 years, said July could be the warmest month on record based on global temperatures measured by satellites‚””just edging out 1998‚”” but such measures only went back to 1979.

Here we go again: WaPo claims: ‘Sunday was the hottest day ever recorded on Earth, scientists say’

Six degrees of ‘hottest day ever’ hoax from WaPo @sarahkaplan48:

1. The claim that Sunday’s “global temperature” hit 62.76°F is based on modeling, not measurements.

2. Sunday’s real-time temperature measurements average out to only 56.96°F — almost 6°F cooler.… pic.twitter.com/VbcLOrS5tg
