Global air and ocean temperatures soared to a record high in July, according to the EU’s climate change service Copernicus, deepening concern among climate scientists at a time when a spate of heat records suggest the planet has entered uncharted territory.
- Global air and ocean temperatures soared to a record high in July, according to the EU’s climate change service Copernicus.
- “These records have dire consequences for both people and the planet exposed to ever more frequent and intense extreme events,” said Samantha Burgess, deputy director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service.
- C3S and the U.N.’s World Meteorological Organization recently recognized the first three weeks of July as hottest three-week period on record.
The EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) said Tuesday that the global average surface air temperature in July was confirmed to be the highest on record for any month.
July was found to be a whopping 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer than the average for the 1850-1900 period and 0.33 degrees Celsius warmer than the previous warmest month of July 2019.
Meanwhile, global average sea surface temperatures continued to rise in July, the EU’s climate monitor said, after a long period of unusually high temperaturesstretching back to April. For the month as a whole, the planet’s average sea surface temperature was 0.51 degrees Celsius above the 1991 to 2020 average.
The data, which is collated from the measurement of satellites, ships, aircraft and weather stations around the world, follows a flurry of record-breaking heat waves across multiple regions.
Vast parts of Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and Asia have suffered from scorching heat in recent weeks, while South American countries have been gripped by record-breaking temperaturesin the middle of winter.
“These records have dire consequences for both people and the planet exposed to ever more frequent and intense extreme events,” Samantha Burgess, deputy director of C3S, said in a statement.
“Even if this is only temporary, it shows the urgency for ambitious efforts to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, which are the main driver behind these records,” she added.
‘Just the beginning’
C3S said 2023 was the third-hottest on record in the year to date at 0.43 degrees Celsius above the recent average.
The gap between this year and 2016 — the hottest year on record — is expected to narrow in the coming months. That’s because the latter months of 2016 were relatively cool, C3S said, while the remainder of 2023 is poised to be comparatively warm as the current El Niño event develops.
Wildfires raging across Algeria during a blistering heat wave killed more than 30 people and forced mass evacuations, the government said.

El Niño is a naturally occurring climate pattern that contributes to higher temperatures across the globe. The U.N. weather agency declared the onset of El Niño on July 4, warning its return could pave the way for extreme weather conditions.
Speaking at the U.N. headquarters in New York City late last month, Secretary-General António Guterres warned that “the era of global boiling” has arrived.
“For scientists, it is unequivocal — humans are to blame,” Guterres said on July 27. “All this is entirely consistent with predictions and repeated warnings. The only surprise is the speed of the change. Climate change is here. It is terrifying, and it is just the beginning.”
This is just after they declared June to be the hottest month ever then had to quietly roll it back while all the minions kept spreading the message.
Odds this is false too? Pretty high. Unless of course you just don't count all the days that are cool by calling them outliers. Yes this is exactly what they do
So, I’m an idiot, a freak and I despise religious people. My episcopalian pastor of 20 years will be disappointed to hear this.

DeSantis’s Florida Approves Climate-Denial Videos in Schools
Florida’s Department of Education has approved classroom use of videos that spout climate disinformation and distort climate science
CLIMATEWIRE | Climate activists are like Nazis.
Wind and solar power pollute the Earth and make life miserable.
Recent global and local heat records reflect natural temperature cycles.
These are some of the themes of children’s videos produced by an influential conservative advocacy group.
Now, the videos could soon be used in Florida’s classrooms.
Florida’s Department of Education has approved the classroom use of material from the Prager University Foundation, a conservative group that produces videos that distort science, history, gender and other topics.
Education experts call the videos dangerous propaganda.
Florida is the first state to allow PragerU materials in public schools, where teachers will have the option of showing the five- to 10-minute videos in their classrooms. Florida public schools have roughly 3 million students, more than the entire population of Kansas.
PragerU CEO Marissa Streit says the videos will rebalance schools that have been “hijacked by the left.”
“Young kids are being taught climate hysteria," Streit said in an interview. "They’re hearing that the world is coming to an end, and we think that there needs to be a healthy balance.
“The climate is always changing,” Streit added, repeating a climate-denial motto that rejects fossil fuel burning as the cause of continuing record-high temperatures.
For now, Florida has approved using PragerU videos only in civics and government for younger children. Some PragerU climate denial videos are classified under non-climate categories, which could enable their use in Florida.
But education advocates fear that the nation’s third-largest state has granted a stamp of approval that will spread the videos to classrooms in other states.
Florida’s approval is alarming because children will watch the videos when they are at their most impressionable stage, in kindergarten through 5th grade, said Adrienne McCarthy, a researcher at Kansas State University who tracks PragerU. Extreme ideas are presented as common beliefs in many videos, she said.
“They can take these right-wing, controversial ideas and cloak them in seemingly harmless and friendly rhetoric,” McCarthy said. “Then they create this kind of facade of normal conservative beliefs, and they use authoritative figures [in the videos] in order to convince the audience.”
“It’s also targeted at the parents themselves, saying that if you want to be a good parent, you should be teaching your kids this,” McCarthy added.
Glenn Branch, deputy director of the National Center for Science Education, said Florida is effectively supporting parents and teachers who want to tear down accurate climate science lessons.
Florida’s approval “may be telling climate change-denier teachers about the availability of these materials,” Branch said. Teachers who want to teach climate change accurately could feel coerced to do otherwise “by hinting that there are resources out there with the opposite view, and people are going to be pressuring you into using them.”
INDUSTRY TALKING POINTS, VERBATIM
Florida Department of Education spokesperson Cassie Palelis said in a statement that the PragerU material “aligns to Florida’s revised civics and government standards” and “is no different than many other resources, which can be used as supplemental materials in Florida schools at district discretion.”PragerU’s videos use talking points from fossil fuel companies to frame climate science and policy. Many of the videos attack renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.
An eight-minute video, “Poland: Ania’s Energy Crisis,” exemplifies how PragerU introduces climate denialism to children by subtly attacking established science and the people concerned about global warming.
In the video, teenager Ania is concerned about climate change because of what she learned at school. The fossil fuel industry’s climate-denial talking points are introduced almost verbatim in the trusted voice of Ania’s mother and father.
Ania’s parents tell her that the climate has always cooled and warmed — “long before carbon emissions were a factor” — and that climate action is pointless until China and India cut their emissions. Ania also hears that renewable energy is unreliable and too expensive.
Ania repeats her parent’s claims in class and is shunned by her teacher and classmates. Her sadness lifts, however, when her grandfather tells her about life under Nazism in World War II. Ania feels empowered because her grandfather says “fighting oppression always takes courage.”
A PragerU video about a child in Africa features a narrator calmly attacking solar and wind because “their batteries break down and become hazardous waste” and because it's risky “to rely on things like wind and sunlight, which are not constant.”
Streit, the PragerU CEO, said she wants to ensure schools frame climate science as a debate. A goal of her organization is to reach children when they are at their most impressionable. That’s why Florida approved the PragerU Kids channel content, she said.
“The science is actually contrary to what most educational institutions that have been really controlled by one ideology are saying,” Streit said, rejecting decades of peer-reviewed research by some of the world’s top science agencies showing that humanity is warming the planet at a dangerous rate. “There is debate about the severity of the changing of the climate as well as the pragmatic solutions.”
PragerU’s goal is to develop a “turnkey curriculum” that can be expanded to as many states as possible, Streit said. She expects to announce soon that more states have approved PragerU content and will use it for classrooms in all grades. PragerU is developing a curriculum module that could be used for course credit in high school, Streit said.
Less documented are the conservative efforts to tear down climate science and to promote in classrooms the use of fossil fuels.
Florida is just the latest state to open the door to climate disinformation. Texas changed its science curriculum to require that schools teach positive lessons about fossil fuels. It’s an effort to downplay accurate climate science and to influence the national textbook market, since Texas is one of the biggest consumers of educational materials in the U.S.
Climate scientists long ago determined that fossil fuel use is driving rapid global warming and pushing the planet toward dangerous tipping points. Most states center their climate change curriculum around that consensus. Only a small number of researchers with legitimate academic credentials doubt the consensus science, and PragerU videos feature many of them.
PragerU’s website contains thousands of videos, which have a variety of classification tags to help users find its videos on topics such as civics, financial literacy or government. Climate denial videos, including some pushing conspiracy theories like the “Great Reset," are classified with tags other than climate change, such as “government,” “global issues,” “life lessons” and “freedom,” which lets them qualify for approved use outside of science classes.
PragerU also has materials that avoid partisan slants, including videos explaining the Electoral College and the offices of the president and vice president.
In Florida, DeSantis has long assailed what he says is liberal “indoctrination” in education. PragerU co-founder Dennis Prager, a nationally syndicated conservative radio host, has proclaimed that his PragerU materials are specifically designed for “our indoctrination.”
“It’s true we bring doctrines to children,”Prager told the conservative group Moms for Liberty at a conference in Philadelphia in July. “But what is bad about our indoctrination?”
PragerU has produced anti-climate policy videos since shortly after it began in 2009. The Prager foundation has received millions of dollars from the billionaire brothers, Farris and Dan Wilks of Texas, who made their fortune in fracking. Wilks funding also was essential to the growth of The Daily Wire, a popular website and media company that routinely pushes climate disinformation.
PragerU has received additional funding from foundations that oppose climate regulations such as the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation.
PragerU’s video library goes far beyond climate change and introduces viewers to a worldview framed around the belief system of the far right.
PragerU CEO Streit said her group has tapped into angry parents who want their politics reflected more in classrooms.
Just returned from Vegas...it was hot. I was there last July as well....it was hot then too. It is hot in the summer in Vegas.
Lots of different combos out there mdnerd. I pray to god every day
I meditate every day
I cold shower ever day

I want the best for gods planet that he created for us
This woman needs to be crushed in the name of our love for an actual future!

Boeing , as far as I know, had some of the initial contracts to develop directed energy devices/weapons -- Kirtland AFB, NM had facilities established in support of some of the applications dedicated to modified 747's which were supposed to be adopted into our missile defense system -
The US Army has choppers outfitted w/DEW's & I am almost certain the Navy has (some? all?) DEW capabilities on destroyers
These are weaponized lasers
There was a development project at one time w/a certain prime defense contractor to upgrade the navy's destroyer based (automated /radar guided I think) gatlin gun defense pods - into rapid fire DEW's
Machine gun lasers essentially
Heres a link that discusses some of the basics of DEW's

The level of heat they're capable of emitting & the tightly focused targeting is amazing - interesting stuff
Atheists think they are open-minded. Hilarious.
If they were open-minded, they would not run like scared children from intelligent design theory.
Why don’t any of you get as upset over opioids killing 80K+ a year but let’s worry about “climate change”, it’s definitely not killing as many people but it’s not your political platform so who cares, right?
I’m equally against big pharma drug dealers for pushing opiods on us for big money at the expense of our biggest asset, our health.
Equally against what?
Certainly not equally against big energy oligarchs for pushing inefficient technologies on us for big money at the expense of our tax dollars, free market economy, health, environment and national security.
I do pretend to not know the cause(s) of it, but it sure is going to be very hot this week. Hopefully, things will cool down next week and head toward Fall weather.

Record-setting U.S. heat dome places 128 million under alerts — Axios
Nearly 128 million people were under heat alerts Wednesday, as an "extremely dangerous" heat dome lingers over a major swath of the Midwest, South and Southwest.
Lexington, KY: August 13th-18th, 1965....temps were 92 - 97 that week. In other words, it was really hot in August 58 years ago.
What used to be unusual is now happening more frequently.
No, actually it isn't.
Couldn’t possibly be that weather and climate are constantly changing and cyclical.
I LOVE hearing about how this was the worst “whatever event” since the early 1900s etc. Man made climate change must have been horrific back then…

Still talking about the water levels out west?
Blame the Hawaii fires on climate change?
Blame the California fires on climate change?
How about the Dead Sea life off the coast of San Fran that was determined to be due to human waste?
Climate change has become nothing more than a cover for all of the really bad liberal policies that hurt people.

Up to this week, August in Louisville has been regularly below the average temp of 87-88 (not sure of the cause). Next week we will be back below the average (not sure of the cause). This week will be hot, but our 100 degree days have been few this summer (not sure of the cause ).

I agree 100% We've had very little of the extreme heat this Summer here in Central Kentucky, where I live. As I posted, this week is going to be up there, but I hope temps return to 80's next week and begin to head to Fall weather. Current forecasts suggest they will ... stay hydrated, everybody.

You don't like Big Pharma or Big Energy, but I bet you just love Big Government.
Kingseve has been off the grid for years. Solar panels for his house that fuel his EVs. He refuses air travel and won’t eat meat or dairy. He even hates driving on asphalt, because he doesn’t like Big Oil.
Doing his best to be as carbon neutral as possible.
Thanks Kingseve!
What are you doing to help fat boy?
Fat boy??? ROFL!!!!
I don’t believe global warming is an existential threat. You do you, which apparently means creating fictitious versions of others.
This is always the response of someone who can't logically win the debate on the issues. It's almost always the same side, because their only source of their views is either 1) emotional or 2) curated uniform messaging from their favorite sites.
Once they're presented with logic and facts they are forced to 1) accept and admit they're wrong and their entire viewpoint is based on a lie they bought or 2) irrationally act out in subconscious anger due to point 1.
And neither have you.
Actually, we have. We have consistently shown the climate does change....daily, monthly, seasonally, yearly. High and low temps have been recorded for decades, with some of the record temps still holding firm from a hundred years ago. There were massive storms back in covered wagon days....tornados ripping apart Wyatt Earp's saloon...snow by the foot in Walnut Grove.
In Louisville, our last meaningful rain was 8/14. It does not look like we will see rain again until Sept.
