Bloomberg’s Climate Alarm Misfires: U.S. Heat Records Show 1930s Still Hottest
Meteorologist confirms modern U.S. temperatures haven’t surpassed the hottest decade on record.

In a recent column titled “A Chart Climate Denialists Can’t Ignore,” Bloomberg writer Mark Gongloff presents a graph from Berkeley Earth’s Zeke Hausfather as proof that “the world is getting hotter, and fast.” [emphasis, links added]
While the chart [shown below] may accurately display data, it is highly misleading because it doesn’t take the root causes of such temperature records into account, such as the urban heat island (UHI) effect and the warm-biased placement of weather stations that record temperatures, factors that have nothing to do with climate change.
The chart, Gongloff claims, shows that nearly 80 percent of global land areas have experienced record monthly high temperatures in this century alone. From this, readers are told that the evidence is overwhelming and that skepticism about catastrophic climate change is “denial.”
