Record-breaking heat does not 'prove' global warming
"Snow chaos: and still they claim it's global warming." "Snowmageddon delivers another blow to global warming." "The mini ice age starts here."

A few months ago, these were the kind of headlines that were appearing in newspapers and blogs. After very cold winter weather in many parts of the northern hemisphere, the notion of global warming was ripe for mockery. The family of senator Jim Inhofe - who called global warming "a hoax", built an igloo in Washington DC, with a sign saying "Al Gore's new home".

And now? The winter weather has given way to a series of extraordinary heatwaves.

According to meteorologist Jeff Masters, nine countries have recorded their hottest ever temperatures this year, from the 53.5 °C recorded on 26 May in Pakistan to the 44 °C recorded in Russia on 11 July.

If these records are officially confirmed, it will mean more national heat records been set in one year than ever before. So should "global warmists" be crowing about how this record-breaking heat proves they were right all along?

No: the record-breaking heat does not "prove" global warming.

Just as extreme winter weather does not prove the world is cooling, so a few heatwaves do not prove the world is warming. After all, it's not hot everywhere: the southern cone of South America is currently enduring a cold snap that has killed dozens of people.

The various measures of average global temperatures, however, do suggest that surface temperatures are the hottest they have been since records began.

The world going up in flames does not prove global warming.

What's Global Warming?

I mean, if it means the Globe is warming - then yes, it is truly a period of global warming.

If it means C02 = higher temperatures, then it's false.

NO it does not. It's the media who "proves" it.

The 'breaking news' is breaking my heart.

How many lies can you accept in one day?

Scheezzzz!
