As NASA and NOAA warn of climate emergency, they weather last-minute denial by Trump appointees
As 2020 smashed hurricane and wildfire records, doing $90 billion worth of damage in the U.S. alone, new data shows last year neck and neck with 2016 as the hottest year in recorded human history.

The numbers are in. The hottest seven years in recorded history are: 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014.
But at this point, says NASA climate scientist Kate Marvel, rankings are worthless. It s all about that horrifying trend towards a level of global overheating impossible to control.

The numbers are in. The hottest seven years in recorded history are: 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014.
But at this point, says NASA climate scientist Kate Marvel, rankings are worthless. It’s all about that horrifying trend towards a level of global overheating impossible to control.
“What really matters, and what I think is really significant and really concerning, is that the seven hottest years on record were the past seven years,” Marvel told CNN.
Her work is part of a global consensus among scientists from the United Kingdom’s Met Office, Europe’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, Berkeley Earth and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that the planet’s man-made fever shows no sign of breaking and that land, sea and sky may all be getting hotter faster.
Climate Change Weekly #385
In less than a month, three separate reports have been released repeating the same half-truth: the costs of natural disasters are rising, setting records in recent years, and human-caused climate change is to blame. I say half-truth because it is also a half-lie.
Each of the studies received copious amounts of prominent coverage by the mainstream media. I suspect the timing of the releases and the coordinated coverage were not by coincidence. They were intended to gin up a steady drumbeat of support for radical climate action by the incoming Biden administration, with these studies intended to provide the new president’s climate team with justification and cover for a “great reset” type of takeover of the economy to save the world from apocalyptic climate change.

A last-ditch effort by climate critics to cement their views in the public record fell apart yesterday after two of their own were summarily dismissed by White House officials.
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) removed climate denialist David Legates yesterday after it was revealed that he attempted to publish cherry-picked and incomplete claims about global warming.
