Editor’s note: This summary serves as a fact check on the biggest false claims made in the media in September, 2024.
We’re taking a break this month from the tiresome comparison of NASA satellite data with real-time surface stations reporting to bring you this graph (OK, it’s our straight red line) from the Washington Post:
As you can plainly see, the supposed “global temperature” has been cooling for 485 million years. But you may be thinking, are global temperatures from that far back really credible? Here’s the answer: As there is no such physical thing as “global temperature,” all guesstimates of such an imaginary thing are equally valid. And now that we have solved the alleged climate crisis, let’s move on to this month’s fact checks.

To close out this month, let’s go back to the Washington Post graph focusing on
the most recent period shown in the inset. The recent warming did not begin with the advent of coal-fired power plants, SUVs and cheeseburgers. It began 20,000 years ago, which is about 15,000 years before recorded human history. Until next month, check out these and more fact checks at:
