CLIMATE CHANGE: It's Hot Outside
'Yes, It is Hot. It is Called Summer'
 
'WHY FACTS MATTER'
 
"Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored."
~ Aldous Huxley, Complete Essays, Vol. II: (1926-1929)
 
 
By Theodore White, astromet.sci
 
As summer crosses into its mid-peak across the northern hemisphere the warm temperatures amid a heat wave has once again seen 'man-made climate change' propagandist losing their minds.
 
Yet, the high summer temperatures that North America experiences as we approach the month of August, is simply a season that is called 'summer,' amid the coming maximum of solar cycle #25 (more on that later.)
 
As media outlets scream 'climate change,' what is most noticeable among their staffs and even their meteorologists, is an utter ability not to learn and know how the Earth's climate functions, here, in the real world.
 
Moreover, the 'all-time records' that they blaze on and on about are less than 150 years old – but they use that "for all time' as if their short legacy weather records includes 'forever' or something.
 
What's with that?
 
I always ask them: "Do you realize just how long human beings have been on the Earth?"
 
For years, I have repeated the fact that according to the laws pf thermodynamics and physics, that there is no such thing as 'man-made global warming' and that it is the Sun that is the cause of climate change.
 
That is a fact and no one can change that fact either. It is a physical law that governs our climate and weather.
 
Moreover, numerous times over a span of nearly 20 years, I have also repeated the fact that the warmest, or hottest decade, especially in the United States especially, took place in the 1930s. (see attached graphic as proof.)
 
I mean, don't these 'man-made climate change' alarmists ever read climate and weather legacy records?
 
There are 31,000+ scientists worldwide who have signed official petitions and statements to formally register their dissent to the politically motivated hoax of 'man-made climate change.'
 
"We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in Dec. 1997 and other similar proposals.
The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology and damage the health and welfare of mankind.
 
There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate.
 
Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth."
 
As a astrometeorologist, a climate forecaster, I have long known and studied legacy records of the Earth's past weather and climate history, and they confirm that it is the activity of the Sun that determines the state of Earth's climate.
 
James Marusek wrote back in 2010:
 
"Over the centuries, mankind has experienced tremendous rainfalls and massive floods, monster hurricanes and typhoons, destructive tornadoes, parched-earth droughts, strong gales, flash floods, great snowfalls and killer blizzards.
 
Lightning storms sent down from the heavens, blind dense fogs, freezing rain, sleet, great hail, and bone-chilling cold and even an occasional mud-storm or two and in-between, periods of warm sunshine and tranquility.
 
And we are still here. We are perhaps a little battered and bruised from the wear.
 
But there is nothing new in the weather to fear because we have been there before. We have learned to cope. We have developed knowledge, skills and tools to reduce the effects of weather extremes.
 
Today, every time a heat wave or a great flood occurs (such as those in Russia and Pakistan this year), voices arise claiming this is more proof of man-made global warming. I wonder to myself if these voices are intentionally ignorant of historical weather extremes or just dishonest."
 
 
Consider this:
 
"Every summer, heat waves inevitably hit the U.S. and other parts of the world, causing climate alarmists and left-leaning media outlets to demand dramatic, disastrous changes to the global energy system. Unfortunately, this summer is no different.
 
On Tuesday, July 25, 2023, U.S. media outlets published a wave of stories about supposedly "historic" heat waves in Europe and North America.
For example, The Washington Post published an article titled "Heat waves in U.S., Europe 'virtually impossible' without climate change, study finds."
Similarly, Axios published a story titled "Historic and enduring U.S. heat wave, by the numbers."
 
Although certain parts of the U.S. have undoubtedly experienced strong heat waves this summer, there's no reason to believe these weather events are evidence that the world is hurtling toward a climate change catastrophe.
 
In fact, the best available evidence suggests that heat waves recorded a century ago were more problematic than anything we're seeing today.
Government researchers have been tracking heat waves for more than 100 years.
 
According to data from the U.S. Climate Change Science Program, which is made available by the Environmental Protection Agency, the annual heat wave index for the contiguous 48 states was substantially higher in the 1930s than at any point in recent years.
 
During some years in the 1930s, it was four times greater or even more.
 
Additionally, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has a large database of daily temperatures that goes back to 1948.
NOAA used 1,066 weather stations located across the U.S. to collect this data.
 
According to NOAA, huge swaths of the U.S. have experienced a significant decrease in abnormally hot days recorded since 1948, especially in the Midwest and northern and eastern Texas.
 
Although it's true that some parts of the U.S. have seen the number of hotter-than-usual days increase over the past 70 years - including in California and the New York metropolitan area, both of which happen to be areas where a large number of media outlets are located - most weather stations have shown no meaningful changes or even declines.
 
Meteorologist Anthony Watts, who works as a senior fellow at The Heartland Institute, analyzed NOAA's data in detail and found that 81% of the weather stations used in NOAA's database reported that since 1948 there has been "either a decrease or no change in the number of unusually hot days."
 
If the available data so clearly reveal that there is no heat-wave crisis, why are media outlets suggesting the opposite is true?
The answer is sloppy, irresponsible media reporting, combined with cherry-picked data.
 
Anyone who wants to show a long-term warming or cooling trend can do so by selectively choosing starting and ending points in datasets that will provide the answer you're looking for.
 
For instance, if you start your examination of historic temperatures with figures collected in the 1970s, when temperatures were unusually low compared to the rest of the century, then current temperatures look abnormally high.
 
If you start around 2010, then temperatures over the past decade appear to have dipped below "normal" and are only now recovering.
When many media outlets and left-wing politicians talk about climate change data, they almost always selectively choose a range that offers an incomplete picture of the larger available dataset.
 
This makes it appear as though today's temperatures are "historic" when they are actually well within normal historical ranges.
Another problem is that media outlets have been using temperature forecasts in their news reports as if those figures were actual temperature data.
For them, a forecast is, by definition, a guess, and some alarmist analysts have recently made a bad habit of incorrectly predicting insanely high temperatures that never come to fruition.
 
For example, the Telegraph, one of the largest papers in the U.K., published an article on July 18 in which the author claimed:
"The European Space Agency said thermometers could tip 48C in Sardinia and Sicily, while the temperatures in Rome and Madrid could both reach the mid to high-40Cs. In drought-stricken Spain, temperatures were set to reach highs of 44C in Catalonia."
 
None of these predictions came true. In fact, some of them were off by several degrees or more.
 
Heat waves happen every year, but this isn't evidence that Americans are facing a global warming crisis.
 
When heat-wave data are put into their proper historical context, it's clear that everything humans are experiencing today has been witnessed in the past.
The ugly truth behind climate alarmism is that much of it is driven by a radical ideological agenda that is seeking to transform the global economy and American society - not by science.
 
The best way to fight back against it is to use cold, hard facts. And those facts plainly show that there is no reason to panic about our ever-changing climate."

There are indeed counterfeit wines. One of the hot wine products around
here these days is ice wine. It is an old German tradition to leave the
grapes on the vines until there is a good solid freeze. I think the
magic temperature is -10C. Then the quickly harvest the grapes at night
and crush them while they are still frozen and the wine they get from it
is syrupy sweet and full of interesting flavours.
 
Asians love that stuff and Japanese and Chinese tourists coming for wine
tours snap it up and take it home with them. There was a newspaper
report a few years back about one of the local winery owners being told
by a friend that he had seen his product for sale in China. The owner
was curious because he had not shipped any over there. It turned out
that it was all counterfeit.

I imagine there may be a dissenter or two on this.
 
https://www.insider.com/making-burgers-different-methods-grill-air-fryer-oven-best-one
 
My husband enjoys grilling, but he found the air-fryer method to produce
the most flavorful burger. He likened it to a well-seasoned meatball.
 
I completely see his point: The burger had no char marks or
caramelization, so it was easy to focus only on the flavors of the meat.
 
But the air fryer just may become my new go-to way to cook burgers. We
all enjoyed the way it preserved so many of the flavors, and the cleanup
was incredibly simple.

I'm still learning to use mine in that despite following the recommended
times/temperatures, the meat is always overdone. Last night I airfried a
steak. I like mine on the rare side but it turned out "bien cuit".

Which in her case was a meatloaf patty, NOT a burger.

Contrary to what she claims here, 3 out of the four people who
sampled her 4 burgers - including herself - liked the burgers
cooked some other way.
 
"Insider" articles are all a mish-mash of trash. Click bait at
it's finest. It all started with the title of the article... she
tried to make an air-fryer article since they're all the rage and
would get more slicks, but failed miserably trying to sell it.
 
The air fryer and oven methods would have tasted identical. Yet
she says the oven turned out a burger that was too meatloafy.
While the air fryer also had no Malliard (crust), and "allowed the
flavors of the burger to shine" (it tasted exactly like the oven
burger, DUH!).
 
What a load of bullshit. But the masses of rubes eat this shit
up.

Air fryers cook too slow to turn out a medium rare steak. You'd
need something like a slamander(*) that goes up way past whet your
normal air fryer could do (400F is the top limit of most, and 500F
still wouldn't be hot enough).
 
(*) I like that word. I'm not gonna fix it - It sounds so...
meaty. "Cooking my steak in the slamander! [pounding chest]".
Maybe that's what I'll name my new residential steak cooking
device... and have Emeril endorse it... "BAM!!!".

The implication is that people in small towns would dispense vigilante
justice.

Oh, please. Crime in the big city is a dogwhistle for crime committed

I prefer old-time country to the new stuff, so I had to actually go and listen to and watch this video, goaded by the headlines.
 
I'm still not sure where he was wrong.
 
There is a reason that my city looks different from San Francisco or Chicago, because so many people here are armed, and we just do not put up with much foolishness.
 
Why do left-leaning writers think country is more dangerous than rap or other genres?
 
At bottom, not because they think the music is more dangerous, but because they think rap fans are harmless friends
and country fans are menacing cultural enemies, so there is a need to more carefully censor what they listen to.
 
That is why people are defensive about complaints directed at Aldean's music, and why he's selling so much of it.
 
After watching the utter stupidity of the summer of 2020 and beyond, Aldean's song's surprise is that it took so long to exist.
 
The lyrics are simply a statement that cities have created their own hell and we want no part of the seep.
 
Cities have always created hard-edged individuals very poor at individual interaction but always spewing about the general oppressed.
 
We want none of that, thanks.

I can't play my LPS as the belt on the turntable is broken. I have
a lot of cassettes too but the Nakamichi won't work any more.
This is a favourite in my CD/DVD collection:

Built in Crewe from 1959-68, the Rolls-Royce Phantom V. was a vehicle for a certain type of customer: The Queen and Queen Mother, Elton John's pink number, Imelda Marcos, the Shah of Iran and even Tito.
 
One Nicolae Ceaușescu bought a '67 example but returned it after being frowned upon by the Politburo.
 
Probably the two most famous examples of this Roller owned by Elvis and John Lennon.
 
The American's was originally painted Midnight Blue. On visiting his mother, Elvis found the free-roaming chickens pecking the paintwork which he then had resprayed silver. The King's car came with air conditioning, telephone and, being the entertainer, a microphone. The rear armrest contained mirror, clothes brush and writing pad.
 
The Beatle's was a Mulliner Park Ward bodied V, originally black. Lennon asked for a black radiator; Crewe refused.
 
The car was furnished with cocktail cabinet, seven piece his n' hers leather luggage set and portable TV. When purchased, Lennon hadn't passed his driving test, instead being chauffeured around. Later additions included rear seats that converted to a double bed, telephone, cassette deck and floating record player – for an additional £2,000. This car became the sixties icon after its use in the film "How I Won The War." Lennon commissioned fellow coachbuilder's JP Fallon Ltd to create a Romany Gypsy Wagon with artist Steve Walker applying the colourful swirls.
