Hottest Summer Ever? NOT!

On Climate Change Roundtable, we take a stand against selective information portrayal, examining the contexts often omitted in mainstream climate discussions. This week, we’re covering the go-to media narrative parroted after every summer as well as discussing a surprising tweet from Michael Mann, creator of the discredited hockey stick chart.

Segment 1: The Hottest Summer: But at What Scale?
The media has been quick to dub this the 'hottest summer on record', but what does that truly mean in the vast timeline of Earth's climatic history? The referenced record composes the last 150 years, a misleading statement outright. And during this time, Earth is recovering from the Little Ice Age, further skewing the data. When you look at the Earth’s entire history, temperatures are well within norms. We discuss issues with the temperature record, misleading language, and highlight objective data.

Segment 2: Media Alarmism: An Unexpected Ally in Michael Mann
When figures like Michael Mann, known for the aforementioned hockey stick chart, begin to voice concerns about the media's alarmist take on climate change, it's an indicator that the discourse might be veering off course. We'll discuss his recent tweet that underscores the exaggerated stance of corporate media on climate-related issues.
