The Spring was unusually cold. And it took forever for summer to get here but it has arrived (finally). And along with it, stories about how hot is. The Union Leader joined the chorus today with a piece titled “Heat could break records in NH.” Do tell!
Highs Wednesday are forecasted in the 90s and could approach local records, Brown said. The record for Concord on July 17 was 97, set in 1999. In addition to the heat, dewpoints are expected in the 60s and 70s and the humidity will make it feel even hotter.
Update: That’s changed as the weather tends to do here in New England. “No exceptional” heat until Saturday and Sunday when highs could reach 98 degrees. But again, looking at the big picture, not all that exceptional.
Here’s what NOAA has for the average Statewide Maximum Temperatures in July (in New Hampshire) from 1950 to 2019.
A few days does not a temperature trend make so not much to write home about. Neither is the plot for 1895 to 2019
Nothing wild or exceptional about it. High heat in the State Capital on Wednesday makes for a nice story but then what?
A few hot days (or cold days) does not mean much. It’s about long-term trends. Things that the Climate Cult has failed to predict with any degree of accuracy on any point anywhere along the spectrum of their hysteria. A program that has been in place for decades and continues. Ocasio-Cortez narrative defining GreeNewDeal has set the next apocalypse in 12years.
Climate mountebanks from Al Gore to Scientism “experts” like James Hansen have made similar predictions only to move them or ignore them when less than nothing comes of it.
Even Prince Charles (a monarch) predicted that the world was doomed by 2017 if we did not rein in capitalism. He made his cataclysmic on a July day in 2009.
Capitalism and consumerism have brought the world to the brink of economic and environmental collapse, the Prince of Wales has warned in a grandstand speech which set out his concerns for the future of the planet.
In case you’ve lost track, it’s 2019 and both capitalism and humanity are far from dead. At least here in the colonies, where capitalism continues to lift more people out of poverty than any economic system ever devised.
Charles ranting is but another example of ideologies with tyrannical tendencies tossing hyperbolic prognostications about as an excuse to advance policies that allow the political class to recapture its historical place as the arbiter of all things.
If that’s too wordy try this. They are lying to rob you of your individual liberties. Don’t let them do it.
In case you need to hear it. The amazing Ella Fitzgerald sings “Heat Wave.”
