Assessing the US and Global Climate in Sept 2024

Second-warmest Sept on record for the US and Globe; Hurricane
Helene caused widespread power outages and catastrophic flash flooding
across the Southeast US, causing at least 200 fatalities

Sept Highlights:

* Temperatures were above average across much of North and South
America as well as Europe, but globally, temperatures averaged cooler
than what was observed during Sept 2023, ending the 15-month
record streak of record warm global temperatures.

* The year-to-date global temperature was the warmest such period on
record, with North America, South America, Europe, and Africa each
ranking first.

* The contiguous US was second warmest on record with record warm
conditions blanketing portions of the northern Plains, Upper Midwest,
and south Florida.

* Year-to-date temperatures across the contiguous US averaged second
warmest on record.

* Hurricane Helene was the strongest hurricane on record to strike the
Big Bend region of Florida, the deadliest Atlantic hurricane since
Maria (2017), and the deadliest to strike the US mainland since
Katrina (2005).

* Three new hurricanes (Debby, Helene, and Milton) and one tornado
outbreak were added to the 2024 Billion Dollar Weather and Climate
Disaster total. The year-to-date total now stands at 24 events â the
second-highest event total for this period.

23% of US Congress Members Are Climate Change Deniers - And They're
All Republican
Green Queen, 10 Aug 2024
A new report has found that nearly a quarter of elected federal
officials in the US think climate change is a hoax, and all of them
belong to the Republican...

Despite the Evidence, Nearly 15% of Americans Deny Climate Change
US News & World Report, 15 Feb 2024
[A prev Yale survey in 2023 estimated 16% of Americans do not accept
AGW is real].

In 2022, fossil fuel subsidies in the United States totaled $757 bn,
according to the International Monetary Fund.
-- EESI.org, 30 Jan 2024
[Around $6900 per US household per year].

During this period, the US made an annual average revenue of 136.9
bn USD through the production and marketing of fossil fuel
products.

Second-warmest Sept on record for the US and Globe

Records started at the end of the "little ice age".
Please Note : until 1979, there was no "global" observations, for
example, the temperature of the surface of oceans (70% of the surface of
the Earth) really started in 2007 when 3000 Argo floats were finally
operational.

LOL. "Float" is a bit of a misnomer to catch out silly fools that
dont know what they are reading.

The Argo "floats" operate at a nominal depth of 1000m. They surface
around every 10d to send their data back to base.

Surface temps have been traditionally reported by ocean vessels with
buckets and thermometers until 2010 when IR sats mostly took over.

To compare the Argo and ships: there are around 3-4000 operational
Argo "floats" that supply around 100,000 temp series each year.

Even 100 years ago ships measured temps at the surface and down to
4km at 10s of 1000s of locations supplying 100k-1mn datasets per year.

This is of a piece with your blunder of boosting UAH satellite temp
series that rely on complex numerical modeling to dis-entangle
the temperature of different heights in the atm as "the most accurate"
and at the same time abusing all modeling as erroneous.

Dunning-Kruger Effect: Ignorance and Overconfidence Affect Intuitive Thinking,
New Study Says
The Debrief, 13 Apr 2021
In a newly published study, researchers say the Dunning-Kruger Effect
can cause low-performers to overestimate their judgments during the
intuitive decision-making process.
According to the study published in the journal Frontiers in
Psychology on April 8, 2021, researchers found that persons with the
highest number of errors demonstrated the highest degree of
miscalibration, or overconfidence, in their actual performance on the
cognitive reflection test.

Argo floats is their name, so let's use it.
"Argo is an international programme for researching the ocean. It uses
profiling floats to observe temperature, salinity and currents. Recently
it has observed bio-optical properties in the Earth's oceans. It has
been operating since the early 2000s."

What data was available before Argo floats existed (early 2000s) to
evaluate the temperature of oceans (70% of Earth surface) ? Well,
occasional measures from ships along commercial routes. Elsewhere
(almost all the ocean) nothing.
Nothing to see there :
