The main purpose of this ongoing blog will be to track global extreme or record temperatures related to climate change. Any reports I see of ETs will be listed below the main topic of the day. I’ll refer to extreme or record temperatures as ETs (not extraterrestrials).😉

Main Topic: It’s Bitterly Cold in the U.S. During the World’s Warmest January in History

Dear Diary. I’ve seen this rodeo a lot in which the United States and Canada are much colder than average while the rest of the planet is very toasty. This weather pattern, of course, ferrets out ignorant climate naysayers, prompting responses by people like Dr. Mann:

During the middle of the day temperatures are bitterly cold for most of the nation:

I’d like to see researchers give as answers as to why the U.S. keeps lagging behind the rest of the planet in association with warming trends. I suspect it has a lot to do with geography of North America and surrounding oceans influencing the polar vortex, but that’s just an educated guess.

As far as record ratios go, the world was warmer than the United States in 2023 looking at my stats:

The global record for DHMX vs. DLMN records was 4.29-1 for the globe in contrast to 2.34-1 for the United States, for example, in 2023. In fact, this trend in record stats can be seen for all off the years of this decade so far. You can view these statistics and read my writeup on that here:

In a real twist of fate because the United States has the most influence over international climate policy than any one country, people here are not as concerned as they might be if record warmth without as many cold spells was as prevalent as it has been across the rest of the planet…and Dr. Mann would not be fending off awful Congress people like Lauren Boebert…just saying.

Here are more “ET’s” recorded from around the planet the last couple of days, their consequences, and some extreme temperature outlooks, as well as any extreme precipitation reports:

Items will be archived on this site for posterity. In most instances click on the pictures of each tweet to see each article. The most noteworthy items will be listed first.)
