Did you hear greenhouse gas emissions supposedly made 2023 the hottest year ever? Or that Pakistan’s high temperature and above normal rains and floods are a sign of dangerous man-made climate change? Or that an increase in flight turbulence is an effect of climate change that is already being felt?

That is just a sample of the myths debunked in the Climate Fact Check May 2024 edition the public can read at Climate Fact Check | ICSC (icsc-climate.com). Some of these are so surprising that they are worth highlighting.

Reuters reported earlier in the year that “2023 was world’s hottest year on record, EU scientists confirm.” Their solution? The supposedly record-breaking year underlined the need to act “‘extremely urgently’ to reduce emissions,” said Hayley Fowler, Professor of Climate Change at Newcastle University.

But that makes no sense. Besides the fact that it was warmer than today many times in the past, probably as recently as the Medieval Warm Period a thousand years ago, a new study just published in Nature journal reported that 80% of the warming since 2020 was actually caused by the success of regulations that reduced sulfur content in marine diesel fuel. Less sulfur emissions led to less sulfate aerosols in the atmosphere that, consequently, reflected less sunlight back to space. With more sunlight now hitting the ocean surface, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that there were increased ocean and atmospheric temperatures.

And, as I have discussed in the past, there really is no such thing as “average global temperature” anyway. It is a statistical trick invented to boost global warming alarmism and different statistical manipulations reveal totally different “average global temperature” trends. For example, the real-time surface measurement record continues to show no significant trend since 2015:

And what about Pakistan’s heat wave? Was that a sign of man-made climate change? Reuters wants us to believe it is, asserting in “Pakistan temperatures cross 52°C [125.6^oF) in heatwave”: “’Pakistan is the fifth most vulnerable country to the impact of climate change. We have witnessed above normal rains, floods,’ Rubina Khursheed Alam, the prime minister’s coordinator on climate, said at a news conference on Friday adding that the government is running awareness campaigns due to the heatwaves.”
