Wasn't someone being mocked just the other day for posting that July 1936 was the hottest month on record? Seem like NOAA was fudging the data just a tad. This is how disinformation works. Post something that is just a little bit of a lie. Or tell two truths and then a lie. After the lie is believed quietly go back and change the lie into truth. Those who don't go back and look will run with the lie forever. Fortunately for us this is the age of the Internet.
According to NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in 2012, the “average temperature for the contiguous U.S. during July was 77.6°F, 3.3°F above the 20th century average, marking the warmest July and all-time warmest month on record for the nation in a period of record that dates back to 1895.”
“The previous warmest July for the nation was July 1936, when the average U.S. temperature was 77.4°F,” NOAA said in 2012.
This statement by NOAA was still available on their website when checked by The Daily Caller News Foundation. But when meteorologist and climate blogger Anthony Watts went to check the NOAA data on Sunday he found that the science agency had quietly reinstated July 1936 as the hottest month on record in the U.S.
