Earth has just experienced the hottest day we have ever recorded

Earth has just experienced the hottest day we have ever seen

If we say this earth is billions or 6000 years what ever our dating of weather with good data goes back 1880. So "ever" is not that long ago

Sure, back when the earth's climate was too hot to support life it was even hotter

The point is that it's getting too hot for us 8 billion humans. It doesn't matter if there was a hotter day in July 5 million years ago, it's getting too hot for us now

AVERAGE day.

When I read the title to this thread, my first thought was: "where"?

Title says where: Earth

If "we have experienced it," then how's come I didn't notice it?

The Earth experienced it. Whatever you experienced was averaged in with all the other parcels of surface area.

The 'average' referred to above is the averaging of temperature from the entire Earth, all the land and sea surface, around the world.

I was posting yesterday that July 3rd was a new record, but now July 4th just exceeded the 3rd.

Here's a thread about this topic if you are interested in more detail: Most of the world's population experienced record-breaking heat in recent days

We sure experienced it here in the Pacific Northwest.

Earth. The average temperature would have been based on various points. But it’s the Earth where they all took place.

I know that NOW.

These scientific articles are just clickbait, in my opinion.

Probably one day last week, the [entire] earth was five degrees hotter than average, and no one even noticed.

You could click on the link and examine the graphed data and determine whether that's true. Use evidence to prove scientists wrong.

Do you think they send a man out with a thermometer?

It would be noticed.

A few weeks ago there was an earthquake, the epicenter was only a few kilometers from where I live.
I never noticed it but it was detected and measured in your own country.

What do you think is more significant not noticing the earthquake and therefore doubting it occurred, or accepting the physical evidence of the earthquake with the detection of S and P waves by seismic stations around the planet?
The same principles apply to climate change.

 

[AV1611VET]

It would be noticed.

Of course it would.

Just like the Challenger was.

You're giving science too much credit for being observant.

There are so many eyes on the Earth's temperature, it would be noticed.

Not the Challenger disaster again.
You are so profoundly ignorant you can't even direct your bigotry against the right source.
The Challenger disaster was an engineering not a science issue; go learn the difference between the two.

Here is a video which shows why the Challenger disaster was the result of an engineering design problem.

What source was I directing "my bigotry" against?

I said I didn't notice the earth had gotten hotter.

Lamb said it would have been noticed though -- (but he didn't say by whom).

I said, "Just like the Challenger was."

That was a good comparison I made.

Just like I didn't notice the earth getting hotter, no one noticed the Challenger's predicament.

Again, what source was I directing "my bigotry" against?

Science? management? passers by? engineers? NASA administration? all the above?

Who?

(Maybe you'd like to retract that remark, eh?)

Your posts are another example of trying derail a thread with your anti-science nonsense in this case by making ridiculous comparisons with Challenger.
It is disingenuous for you to now try spread the blame around when you have made perfectly clear in this and in past posts science played a significant role in the Challenger disaster.

The video makes it very clear it was an engineering disaster from start to finish, it was the engineers from Thiokol and NASA who argued whether the launch should proceed and as there were engineers who suspected there was a potential design problem with the O-rings seals in the boosters.
It took a scientist Richard Feynman to come to the realization the disaster was caused by the failure of the O-rings to recover when under load if the ambient temperature was below freezing.

In your silly little bigoted world of blaming scientists don't let the facts get in the way; scientists played no role in the launch decision or the O-ring design even though it was Feynman who came up with the failure mode which allowed the engineers to address the design flaw by redesigning the boosters.
