The planet’s temperature soared again on Thursday to levels not seen in the modern record-keeping era, marking the fourth straight day of record temperatures. These alarming new records are likely the highest temperatures in “at least 100,000 years,” one scientist told CNN.
The global average daily temperature climbed to 17.23 degrees Celsius (63.01 degrees Fahrenheit) on Thursday, according to the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer, which uses data from the US National Centers for Environmental Prediction.
It’s been a week of record-breaking temperatures. On Monday, the average global temperature reached 17.01 degrees Celsius (62.62 degrees Fahrenheit), the highest in the NCEP’s data, which goes back to 1979. On Tuesday it climbed to 17.18 degrees Celsius, where it remained on Wednesday.
Before this week, the record in NCEP’s data was 16.92 degrees Celsius and was set in August 2016.
Though this week’s records are not yet official, another global climate tracking agency confirmed several in its own data. The European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service said Monday’s and Tuesday’s global temperatures were also records in its data, which dates back to 1940.
While the records are based on observational data sets that only go back to the mid-20th century, they are “almost certainly” the warmest temperatures the planet has seen over a much longer time period, according to Jennifer Francis, a senior scientist at Woodwell Climate Research Center.
Francis estimated that this week’s temperatures are the warmest “probably going back at least 100,000 years,” calling the records “a huge thing.”
I think all this is called, lemme see, "weather?" It's up. It's down. And that's the way it's been throughout recorded history.
But, that's just me.
Meanwhile, here in California we’re having a very cool summer, mid 70’s during the day mid 50’s at night.
Heaven on earth... except for all the libs.
“what a crock....no one knows the temperature of the earth....and whatever the temperature is....that’s what it’s supposed to be.”
And they report it with one hundreth of a degree precision!

At which point, I shall stop calling him a scientist. The official record only goes back 100 years or so.”
Have them tell you what the highest daily temperature experienced by any Roman Emperor, Nebuchadnezzar the King of Babylon, any Egyptian Pharaoh, or George Washing was and what date it occurred on.
If they can’t this whole thing is a lie
I'll just BET the average temperature was a steady 120 plus.
Enough to kill Dino and all his kinfolk.
so before records may have been even hotter? Our records don’t mean much.
God is in control and His plan will happen.
^^^ That is what all these alarmist really fear.
I am impressed that they were able to get those records off of cave walls.
...on record
A record kept since 1979.
No access to their thermometers, but I know the last four summers (New York) I’ve been compelled to run A/C only from July to September... compared to from April to November every year for decades before that. Meanwhile snowy weather has extended beyond winter more than I recall it when I was a kid.
More B.S.
The earth has a fever...
The only prescription is more cowbell.
It wasn’t all that hot here in east TN.
The sky is falling!
Opinions without data sets are NOT science.
The Eemian interglacial warm period, between 130,000 and 115,000 years ago, was much warmer than previously thought. In fact, it was 8°C (14.4°F) warmer than today.
The Holocene Climate Optimum (HCO) was a warm period that occurred roughly 9,500 to 5,500 years ago BP, with a thermal maximum around 8000 years BP. Global temperature reconstructions consistently depict a Holocene Thermal Maximum (HTM) typically ranging between 10 and 5 ka, with a maximal probability centered around 6.45 ka. The world ocean was probably 0.7°C warmer than today 8,000 BP.
75 hi in oceanside 5 miles from the beach. 73 today
“at least 100,000 years,” one scientist told CNN.>>>> Wow what a scientist. or scientologist. Let me the 100,000 year old thermometer. Then, the paper of stone tablets which recorded the temps. Now lets calibrate that thermometer over those 100,000 years. Oh can’t do that, These people are so full of sh!!!t it’s spilling out their ears.
Not around here it’s not. And it’s July in Central Alabama.
Had a ton of rain though! Right now, 12:40 p.m it’s 85.
That might be hot to some people but not here.
Wife is kinda weather paranoid. She calls me when she gets in her car most every evening, works in B’ham, and invariably says something like “My car says it’s 110!”(We’re all gonna die!!). Well ok honey but it’s been sitting in the sun all day. What does your phone say?” Ummm....90. “Ok, well I think its gonna be alright”
It just doesn’t sink in at all though.....
Awesome 3 and a half minute primer.
