Throwing cold water on extreme heat hype

This won't make Al Gore very happy.

It will be ignored like chit on the street in San Francisco....

Like fat girls at the prom.

This isn't about "debunking" climate change though, it's just about overreactions to extreme short term temperatures and linking that to climate change. Article doesn't address whether the planet is overall warming.

I fully agree with the articles premise, and the left linking individual heat waves to climate change is just as dumb as the right refuting it whenever there's a cold snap.

Or maybe as ridiculous as attaching a bunch of leftist agenda to any ‘solutions’?

The temperature never dropped below 86° yesterday in Galveston, meaning Thursday saw the warmest minimum temperature recorded in Galveston in 145 years (the records date back to 1874).

Since 2015, Galveston has set or tied 90 warm daily minimum temperature records. This is consistent with what has happened elsewhere along the immediate Gulf Coast. New Orleans has set or tied warm minimum temperatures 120 times since 2015, while Tampa has done it over 130 times. Corpus Christi has has new warm minimum records over 50 times since 2015.

Accuweather is my go-to weather site (along with space weather, which is where I got the above tidbits). But Accuweather's reliability is not that great (I speak with years of experience using that site). They have a 90-day extended forecast for any big city that's fun to use, but is about as reliable as wetting your finger and putting it in the air to determine whether it's going to rain.

I can post several new stories that have emerged in the past few days if you'd like. But I'm guessing none of you want to see them.

I've lived on the MS Gulf Coast all of my life(nearly 50 years). It is hot every summer. I remember back in the 90s one summer it reached 100 for 30 days straight. That is the last time I ever remember it getting to 100. I think it is absurd to compare today's digital thermometers to whatever they were using 145 years ago. Temperature science is garbage. I compare it to pitch velocity of now to 30 years ago. Different measurements.

Exactly, It's friggin' summer. It's hot. I wonder if back in 1958 when a record high was set somewhere everyone starting claiming the world was getting ready to end. Probably not, people apparently had more sense back then.

Been living in PA since March... Moved from my Gulf Coast home region (was previously in the Prattville/Millbrook, AL area, grew up in Lincoln County Mississippi) and experienced the "heat wave" here a couple weeks ago...

These folks don't know hot weather.

I've heard stories from news sites about how hot it is in some cities and it's never changed. Every year around this time you hear of people dying from the heat and that has been the story for decades. But. Now. It's a big business, heck, it even buys some people airplanes to fly around the world complaining about climate change that they contribute to all the time.

Clowns, that's what they are and the people are outside the tents listening to the Barkers and paying good money to see/hear this clowns.

Accuweather can’t even predict the weather 4 hours in advance. Monday at noon they said 80% chance of lightning at showers at 5 6 7 and 8 pm.

Showers can at 3 beautiful skies the rest of the night. They can’t even predict the weather in a day much less make a prediction about something as complex as global warming.

They aren't trying to predict or debunk global warming. They even acknowledged its existence in this very article.

Global warming.

Fairy tales for the low iq.

We had low humidity a little over a week ago for about 3 days. Temps in high 80s. Open the windows in the evenings. Felt like spring. To me the past few summers have been fairly mild. Don't remember many 110+ heat indices this year. Used to be common place.

The poles are affected by global warming by a factor of 10 versus 0 degree to 30 degrees latitude.

Yes, and it's extremely noticeable here in AK.
