Again, remember that the record they’re talking about only goes back to 1979, and fails to mention the extreme heat in the 1930’s, nor what may have happened during previous Holocene warm periods
El Niño plus climate change means record-breaking heat
It is very hot in a lot of places right now. It’s over 100 degrees in cities across China. Millions of people in North Africa and the Middle East are grappling with life-threatening heat. And the heat index is pushing 110 degrees or higher from Texas to Florida. (snip)
The reason for the scorching temperatures is twofold: human-caused climate change plus the cyclic climate pattern known as El Niño. El Niño is a natural pattern that began in June, and leads to extra-hot water in the Pacific. That has cascading effects around the globe, causing more severe weather in many places and higher average temperatures worldwide.
That’s why heat records tend to fall during El Niño, including when the last daily global average temperature record was set in 2016. Climate change, which is caused by humans burning fossil fuels and releasing greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. exacerbates the effects of the natural climate pattern.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, if that’s the case then why do the cultists have to fear monger and use computer models so much? It’s a scam. If they cannot compare this to previous Holocene warm periods then they do not have the full data.
