(IceAgeNow) – Although Northern Hemisphere LAND MASSES had their hottest May-July on record, says meteorologist Joe Bastardi, the globe as a whole did not.

The warmth ON LAND is a by-product of the years of warm Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO)  and El Nino, says Bastardi. The land kept warming after the water began to cool. It’s “sort of like high tide in back bay occurring after it had occurred on the beach (oceans) and the tide is about to go out.”

“If one uses common sense, one would understand that land masses with warm water next to them for years would warm greatly,” says Bastardi.
