The weather app on my phone is as reliable as any other weather reporting app, including the people on the news. There have been lots of near misses and too many not right at all, but now it is propagandizing me. Last week was mild, pleasant, great sleeping weather, but throughout the week, the App was waving” a high heat warning in my face.
It’s 73 and sunny, with mid-50s in the evenings, but it’ll be boiling next week! In other words, forget all this temperate enjoyable niceness—DOOM Awaits!
I was looking for a disclaimer saying Carrier or Walmart sponsored it: Click to get a great price on AC, and there is free delivery for orders over $$$. Wait, how about, “This high heat weather alert is sponsored by … Pfizer!” Click to get great deals on cures!
Nope.
It is supposed to get hot for several days, but do I need a week’s worth of red thermometer warnings? To me, this seems both excessive and deliberate (I added the red lines below).
That’s good to know. And I know it gets hotter elsewhere, and these temps might look like a mild day (Yeah, man, but it’s a dry heat), so you don’t need to bombard me with proof. I get it. And it’s been hotter here for longer, way back when CO2 wasn’t the bitcoin of climate change. Let’s do some climate Cult mining! Alarmisim equals payday! Ka-Ching!
I’ll have to walk the dog early in the morning, and best of luck sleeping on warm nights, though 75 isn’t the worst thing that could have happened. And—this is important—the App has been running hot lately. In successive weeks, the predicted temps have declined as the week has progressed. Predicted mid-80s turn into the low 80s, and so on. It’s got me thinking the thing is using the IPCC’s climate models, and those dogs don’t hunt.
