NPR’s Local Global-Warming Drumbeat Ignores That America has NOT Been Getting Hotter!

When it gets hot, the media reminds you about “climate change.” It’s dopey. We live in New England. If you don’t like the weather, wait. A few hours, maybe a few days. The climate will change, but that does make what happens global warming.

The strum and Drang over Climate change spin on one thing and only one thing. Free Market Capitalism arming the planet. The political goals have nothing to do with solving the stated issue. They are strictly economic, and in most cases, would be worse than what we are doing now. Not that any of that matters.

NHPR.

Scary warming is here. It’s getting hotter in the North East, and yes, New Hampshire has seen a series of years with more frequent hot days. But the Climate Agenda is not about New England Warming.

Anyone without an agenda can see that nationally, despite what New Hampshire Public Radio (NHPR) reports locally, the number of hot days across the fruited plains has been on the decline for decades. That’s data from All US Stations, not just a few that might serve your interests.

Tony Heller at Real Climate Science crunches these numbers for this very purpose, using NOAA’s own data to demonstrate that the science contradicts the desired narrative.

As it turns out, 100 years of data provide a trend with which a few hot days in June in New Hampshire cannot compete.

The trend is not just downward. It is remarkably so, but maybe 100+ is too hot. How about 90+ degrees?

Nationwide, the trend has slowed, but it is downward such that you mike think that the rise in industrialization in America coincides with a dramatic decrease in days that reach 90 degrees or more. They are not connected, so that would be silly, but then that is why the ravings of Warmitst propagandists at NHPR are equally absurd.

Finally, how about just the average daily maximum temperature nationwide over the past 100 years? Surely that must show some sign that the NHPR’s across the fruited plain have a point? Nope!

While the maximum temperature trend has been declining or flat, a problem that not only does not need to be solved but that, even were this not true, no politician or government could solve.

The only problem they can address is how much money and freedom you have, and that trend continues to be less for you, and more for them. And that is the only thing the Climate Change Narrative will ever accomplish.

Finally, has the planet warmed in recent decades? Damn right it has, but not anywhere near the hyperbolic climate models, rent-seeking prophets, or an attention-seeking Muppet.

And it did not get warmer because of your lifestyle. We exited a Grand Solar Maximum recently, and even the folks at NASA and NOAA admit we’re entering what looks like a Grand Solar Minimum – whose long-term trend will be…wait for it.  Cooler temperatures.
