The claims are STILL being bandied about the internet: "July 2019 was the planet's warmest month in 140 years of record keeping," and "no land or ocean areas had record-cold temperatures in July."From
weather.com to
time.com, from
usatoday.com to the
independent.co.uk — every corner of the mainstream press willingly lapped-up the NOAA article and repackaged it as unequivocal fact.
I
still haven't quite worked out if NOAA's assertions are brilliant obfuscations or downright dirty lies.
But either way, according to data
from their own website, the number of U.S. weather stations busting
all-time daily record low-minimum temperatures in July, 2019 totaled
938.
"
No land or ocean areas had record-cold temperatures in July"?
And it gets better still:
Again according to NOAA's own official data, the all-time daily record
high-maximum temperatures for July, 2019 totaled just
522 — meaning the cold records bested the hots by almost 2-1.
And turning to the
monthly records, no less than
32 U.S. weather stations
either tied or busted their coldest ever recorded temperatures for the month of July this year.
And again: "
No land or ocean areas had record-cold temperatures in July"?
