Data Point – So How Hot Is It Really Given Media Cherry Picks 1979 as the Baseline

DCE over at Weekend Pundit shreds the Media / Eco-Socialists to shreds with these two maps:

Just when the media is telling us we’re seeing unprecedented temperatures this summer, temperatures we’ve never seen before, an article from Real Clear Science calls such media claims “Unprecedented Propaganda”, and with good reason…

…Keeping in mind the same caveat, here’s a graphic showing US station locations seeing temperatures above 100ºF and 110ºF so far this year:

The following graphic shows the same type of data, but for the year 1936:

So it doesn’t look all that “unprecedented” to me – you?  Cherry picked. Or as DCE points out:

This shows that those “unprecedented” temperatures the media is crowing about aren’t so unprecedented after all. But they do fit the narrative they’re selling.
