Media Confuse ‘Unprecedented’ Climate-Model Temps With Actual Temps
guardian headlineThis past week two left-leaning media outlets, MSN (via The Washington Post aka WaPo), and the always alarmed UK-based The Guardian ran stories saying the Arctic and Antarctic had experienced “unprecedented” high temperatures. [bold, links added]
These claims can’t be verified since they were the results from a set of weather-model simulations, indicating variations of above-normal temperatures for the regions, not actual surface temperatures measured by ground-based weather stations.
The Guardian headline was full of worry courtesy of author Fiona Harvey:
Heatwaves at both of Earth’s poles alarm climate scientists
Antarctic areas reach 40C above normal at same time as north pole regions hit 30C above usual levels
