Editor’s note: This summary serves as a fact check on the biggest false claims made in the media in July, 2024. 

As has been the case for the past year, NASA satellite data has its “average global temperature” running warmer:

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.

More on this later. Meanwhile, here are 10 fact checks of media climate claims made in July 2024.

We heard a lot about how hot July was, from the “hottest day(s) on record” to Death Valley having the hottest month for any place on record. But funny thing happened on the way to the “hot” party.

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

Don’t forget to check out these great fact checks. Until next month…
