WMO confirmed nothing

RE: 2020 Arctic heat record confirmed.  News item by the Associated Press published in The Hamilton Spectator 15 Dec 21

The Spectator must wonder why so many actual scientists and amateur researchers are so skeptical, indeed derisive, of the whole climate change theory.  One reason is the falsehoods that are offered as facts in support of global warming.

The UN weather agency (World Meteorological Organization) allegedly confirmed that a temperature of 38℃ (100 F) recorded in Verkhoyansk, Siberia, on June 20, 2020, was “the highest temperature ever recorded in the Arctic.”   Except that it isn’t.  A temperature of 38℃ (100 F) was recorded in Fort Yukon, Alaska, on June 27, 1915, and Fort Yukon is north of the Arctic Circle.  This temperature is in the NOAA database, so it would be an act of deception for NOAA to “confirm” the WMO finding.  (Note, atmospheric CO2 levels were about 300 ppm back in 1915.)

Likewise, the claim that 54℃ (130 F) is a new world record high temperature recorded in Death Valley is also false.  Furnace Creek in Death Valley recorded a high of 57℃ (134 F) on 10 July, 1913.  By eliminating data prior to 1979, you can make it look like the earth has never been here before.

Last year, Canada’s Minister of Climate Change, Jonathan Wilkinson, announced that “Canada was warming at twice the rate of the rest of the world.”  Now, according to the WMO, it’s the Arctic that’s heating up at twice those of the global average.  Wow, it seems like everywhere is heating up at twice the rate of everywhere else!

Lying works only in the short term.
