Media Hype 130F Death Valley Temp – It's Still Not A Record-Breaker | Climate Dispatch
"On Sunday, August 16th the National Weather Service in Las Vegas, Nevada sent out a tweet highlighting a new maximum daily temperature of 130°F in Death Valley:
Predictably, the media jumped on this number with the Los Angeles Times saying “possibly the highest mercury reading on Earth since 1913.”
...While global warming activists are rubbing their hands together in anticipation and glee hoping this will aid their case, what they and the LA Times aren’t telling you is that this is simply “business as usual” for Death Valley.
In fact, back in 1913, over 100 “global warming” years ago, Death Valley’s official weather station at Greenland Ranch hit an all-time record of 134°F and also hit 130°F or higher three times that July:
While climate crusaders would like you to think today’s 130°F temperature is more “proof” of global warming, aka “climate change” induced by fossil fuel use putting more carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, the irrefutable fact is that in 1913, CO2 in our atmosphere was about 43% lower than today at 290 parts per million in 1913 compared to the “climate crisis” level of 414 PPM today...Read all.
