Decreasing greenhouse gas is causing record temperatures in Phoenix.

Phoenix has scientific proof that decreasing greenhouse gas is causing record high temperatures. July’s record is one example.

30 miles north of Phoenix is an Atlas Testing facility. Atlas Testing is a global leader in weathering testing and weathering test equipment. They record daily temperatures and radiant energy readings on their web site.

Anyone can do the analysis and discover that Phoenix has not had any warming over the last decade. But now there is a new discovery.

July, 2009, was reported as an all-time record high for Phoenix.

But the Atlas Testing records show that July 2009 and 2003 average highs were the same.
In fact, the nighttime lows were cooler in 2009.

Yet the news story was ‘a record all-time high’.

There’s more information recorded at Atlas Testing.

They also track the sun’s radiant energy by absorbing it on a black metal panel (ASTM G179). The records show a maximum average reading in 2009 of 67 degrees Centigrade and 58 degrees in 2003. That’s a 14% increase in radiant energy.

Radiant energy increases when greenhouse gasses decrease.

If a record high was recorded in Phoenix in July, it was caused by increased solar radiation, the heat island effect. That means there were either decreasing greenhouse gasses or increased sun activity.

Either way, the record high is not an indicator of global warming.

Unless, of course, there was global warming in Phoenix and no global warming 30 miles north.

Now we have record highs being contributed to global warming that are actually caused by decreasing greenhouse gas.
