Olympic Sized Fraud : Climate Scientists Versus Human Beings Posted on August 14, 2016 by tonyheller Climate scientists say that global warming is making it too hot to hold the Olympics : Global Warming Will Make It Nearly Impossible to Hold the Summer Olympics They say that the athletes in Rio are struggling with the heat. Olympic Athletes Challenged by New Opponent: Global Warming – Bloomberg The reality is that athletes in Rio say they are freezing. We have no clothes to protect us from cold – Nigerian athletes – Vanguard News And their claims that summers are getting hotter are simply fragrant lies. Over the last 85 years, July/August afternoon temperatures in the US have plummeted by an average of 0.1C/decade. Almost eighty percent of the states have seen Olympic season maximum temperature declines during that period. The trend in July/August afternoon temperatures in the US since 1895 is down. But the fraud goes far beyond the junk science. The 1968 Olympics were held in October in Mexico City, because temperatures there in the summer are over 100 degrees. We have held Olympics in hot places in the past, and already know how to deal with it. During summer 1968, the US athletes trained in Los Alamos, New Mexico because of the altitude. I used to go watch them train at the high school track. I’m in Los Alamos now, and it is cold here. This is what Los Alamos looked like yesterday afternoon. Every single thing these “scientists” said was fraudulent, and they are saying it because they are being paid to lie by governments spending billions of dollars to spread propaganda.

Scorching July is world’s hottest month on record By Andrea Thompson on 16 August 2016 Climate Central The reign of record hot months in 2016 continues, with last month claiming the title of hottest July on record globally, according to data released by NASA on Monday. This July was also the hottest month on record for the world. The streak means that 2016 is still well on its way to upsetting last year as the hottest year on record. Or as Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies, said on Twitter, there is still a 99 percent chance 2016 will take the top slot. How temperatures across the globe differed from average in July 2016. Every month so far this year has been record hot. In NASA’s data, that streak goes back to October 2015, which was the first month in its data set that was more than 1°C hotter than average. In NOAA’s records, the streak of hottest months goes back to May 2015. If July is record warm in its data (which will be released Wednesday, July will be the 15th record-warm month in a row. By NASA’s reckoning, July 2016 was 1.27°F (0.84°C) hotter than the 1951-1980 average. It was 0.2°F (0.11°C) above July 2015, the next warmest July in records that go back to 1880. The record July heat also means this was the hottest month the planet has seen over the course of NASA’s records. That’s because July is also generally the hottest month of the year due the fact that it’s summer in the northern hemisphere where there’s more land. twitter.com Schmidt said he expects July will be the last record hot month of this year as the residual heat from an exceptionally strong El Niño dies away. Though El Niño itself was declared over in June, global temperatures tend to lag by about two to three months. While El Niño provided a boost to global temperatures this year, the bulk of the heat is what has been trapped by accumulating greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Nations have agreed to keep the rise of global temperatures below 2°C (3.6°F) by the end of this century, and are discussing aiming for an even more ambitious 1.5°C (2.7°F). But temperatures for the year-to-date have been hovering close to 1.5°C above preindustrial times all year. The year-to-date average of global temperatures during each month of 2016 through June. If 2016 does end up the hottest year on record, it will be the third such year in a row. But just as the streak of record-hot months will come to an end, so too may the streak of record-hot years. Forecasters expect a La Niña to form, which tends to mean a relative cooling of global temperatures. These are only small blips on the overall long-term trend of warming, which tips the odds toward record heat and away from record cold. Of the 15 hottest years on record, 14 have occurred in the 21st century, but the last record-cold year was in 1911. reneweconomy.com.au
