The 130-Degree F Reading in Death Valley Is A World Record

The 130-Degree F Reading in Death Valley Is A World Record

Pro: The old record of 134 degrees F in 1913 is flawed should be discarded.

But the observation will not count as an official world record. In 2013, the World Meteorological Organization officially decertified the official all-time hottest temperature in world history, a 136.4 degrees Fahrenheit reading from Al Azizia, Libya, in 1923. (Burt was a member of the WMO team that made the determination.) After the abandonment of the Libya record, the official world record was given to a 134 degrees Fahrenheit measurement taken at Death Valley on July 10, 1913.

However, this record has been strongly disputed by Burt and Herrera.

“The old Death Valley record from July 1913 is 100% bogus (not just 99.9% such), as are all other temperature readings of 130 degrees Fahrenheit or higher from Africa in the past,” Burt said.

Burt wrote a detailed 2016 blog post at Weather Underground challenging the 1913 record at Death Valley, explaining that official readings of 134, 130, and 131 degrees Fahrenheit taken on July 10, 12, and 13, 1913 were likely the result of an inexperienced observer. In order for the 1913 Death Valley record to be decertified, though, an official World Meteorological Organization investigation committee would have to be assembled to look into the matter, a years-long process for which there is currently no motivation.

If the 1913 Death Valley 134F reading is bogus, doesn't that bring all other historical meterological measurements into question?

How many previous weather measurements are crap because they were taken by inexperienced observers?

What if the "science" of climatology is no better than astrology?

Decertifying prior temperature readings is being done for transparently political purposes - it's not about science, or knowledge, it's about creating the false narrative for anthropogenic global warming (aka climate change).

Revisionist climatilogical history to create a false narrative that 130F temperatures are "unprecedented" - that there is a climate "emergency" - that requires immediate declaration of a climate "emergency" to ban internal combustion.

What? there are no igneous rocks in the area? No volcanics?

Those would be a sure indicator it has been warmer...

The earth just broke the record for the hottest day in 120,000 years. In fact, we broke in on three separate days.
National climate emergency now.

It is not possible to have accurately measured the daily temperature dating back 120,000 years, so this tweet should not be presented as fact. NASA climate scientists recognize 1880 as the start of modern climate records: https://t.co/D4OmXvpZvD

200,000 year record ... I declare b.s.   I've read several times that we will start heading into an ice age and begin to see temps fall.  :shrug:
