Reality Check: No, we didn’t just have “the hottest week in 100,000 years”
Kit Knightly | Or, “how people are blinded by meaningless statistics”. | Now, first off let’s be clear – we haven’t had the “7 the hottest days” in the last 100,000 years since July 4…or, more accurately, there is absolutely no way for anyone to reliably know if we have or not. Actually, think about what they’re saying when they make this claim. They are claiming that they know, for a fact, the global average temperature to two decimal points over the last 36 million days. A couple of things to bear in mind here before we go any further.
1 – Humans have only had the ability to accurately measure the temperature of anything for maybe four-hundred years.
2 – Official “global temperature” records only began in 1880.
3 – Beyond that point, we only have partial, local and pretty inaccurate readings back to the mid-17th century.
That’s 400 years, give or take. So, how do climatologists get the data for the other 99,600 years? Well – they guess.
