“July Hottest Month Ever Recorded”
So says the World Meteorological Association, as reported by The Weather Channel’s website. Of course, July isn’t over yet, but no blizzards are predicted in the next three days to change the conclusion. I haven’t noticed the weather being any hotter than usual here in Thailand, but then, I’m not in Phoenix or in a country trying to impose Marxism and socialism on its people. At least not yet. I’ll leave if/when the Thai government gets as stupid as the American and European ones.
And I really have no way of disputing the WMO’s data. They may change their conclusions at a later date, or they may not. Frankly, I don’t really care. At the moment, and for the purposes of this article, I will accept what they say.
So, what does it mean? It means that July is the hottest month ever recorded, and that’s all it means. Since records go back less than 150 years, this doesn’t really prove much in the historical scheme of things. We know there was a distinct warming period, about 2,000 years ago, during the Roman Empire, and then another such period, called the “Medieval Warming” period about 1,000 years ago, which lasted maybe 300 years. It’s hard to know for sure because there was no WMO around back then recording things. We only have historical and certain scientific data, which seem to strongly indicate that the earth has, indeed, enjoyed hot spells in the past, probably even hotter than it’s been the last 30 years or so. But again, nobody really cared back then, they just took the weather for what it was since they knew they couldn’t change it anyway, and there were no globalists around demanding we give all our money to government and eat bugs and drive electric horses. Uh, cars.
So, it’s hot. Amazing that such a thing should happen in the summer, huh, especially in an El Niňo year, which always raises temps some. In some locations. Sensible, intelligent, learned people are getting tired of listening to the “climate change” nuts talk about every quirk in the weather as evidence that humans are burning the planet to a crisp, and if we don’t block the sun, or something equally pathetic, we are all going to fry to ashes before the end of the century. But it’s their religion so they have to preach it. It would be nice if they had some historical, even a few scientific, facts to justify their “man-made global warming” hypothesis. One hot summer, even 10, isn’t enough to prove anything.
But they aren’t going to be reasonable, historical, or scientific. And they are the ones who are likely to destroy the planet and ruin countless lives with their foolish doctrine and behavior. Let’s hope we can stop them before it is too late.
