Data from thousands of surface monitoring stations worldwide, including ocean buoys in the Pacific and land-based thermometers dotting the continents, show that July 2019 was the warmest month on Earth since at least 1850.
NOAA also announced Thursday that July was the warmest month on record, with the global average surface temperature coming in at 1.71 degrees (0.95 Celsius) warmer than the 20th century average. According to Deke Arndt, head of climate monitoring for NOAA, July 2019 marked the 415th straight month that was warmer than the 20th century average.
In keeping with accelerating global warming, nine of the 10 warmest Julys have occurred since 2005, NOAA found.
July brought extreme heat to Europe, and massive wildfires to the Arctic, including Alaska, Siberia and even Greenland, as well as a record and sudden melt event to the Greenland Ice Sheet. During the European heat wave in late July, Sweden set a record for the warmest temperature observed in that country north of the Arctic Circle, NOAA reported, with a maximum temperature of 94.6 degrees (34.8 Celsius) in Markusvinsa on July 26.
At the end of the month, both Arctic sea ice and Antarctic sea ice were at their lowest levels on record for the month, missing a total of 1 million square miles of ice, according to NOAA. If this were a country, Arndt said, it would be the 10th largest nation worldwide.
Wow! The amazing world wide conspiracy of nearly every sentient being (the GOP excepted, of course) has managed to hide one million square miles of sea ice! And fake all those fires in Alaska and Siberia and Greenland!
Belief in global warming is optional. However, participation is mandatory.
They’ll even threaten all life on earth to appease the false prophets.
I keep hearing about these guys. So if the vast body of scientific evidence DOESN'T point to human caused global warming, what do these prophets have to gain from this "hoax"?

Well, that's the million dollar question, isn't it? I don't know why repubs loathe science so much. I guess they're under orders from their masters at Exxon and BP and let's not forget the Koch brothers.

Bat Boy is also alive and well in a cave in Tennessee.
