Seems every year you see this. I live in Texas, summers are hot and anyone who has a heat related death gets tied to climate change. They do this in the winter too. Here in north Texas winters shift between cold and warm until spring but whenever it gets warm in January they act like we are going to die.

Its the new scam. No matter what it is, climate change caused it.
It's not all that new. Some people were blaming the Arab Spring over a decade ago on climate change.
Yeah, used to be global cooling and then warming. I mean it as it's the new scam post covid.
Adding this from Leonard Nimoy 1978: https://youtu.be/7tAYXQPWdC0?si=IkX_ubVW28zfM8kl
"It was never global cooling, that's a myth, conspiracy theorist" - The same people who said all life on Earth would be wiped out ten years ago...and twenty years ago...and thirty years ago, and so on.
Here is a whole, pretty comprehensive, list of failed predictions: https://wattsupwiththat.com/failed-prediction-timeline/
Whoa, whoa, whoa, we got a Science Denier here!

nothing new. I remember getting the shpeil in the 00s
It’s very annoying, it’s absurd fear mongering, and personally, I blame climate change.
Whenever green activists are doing their thing they're lying, particularly if they're showing you actual measurements. Their goal is to make white people deindustrialize, stop having children, and ideally all commit suicide.
Last year they started reporting surface temperatures instead of the normal air temperatures around here because they are MUCH higher. Of course they hid that fact somewhere in the fine print so they could claim historic doomsday temperatures.
They made up something called "wet bulb temperature" that nobody has ever actually used to measure anything before in the last couple years too.
It's not an awful metric, it's just a measure of how hot it is taking into account evaporation. Useful communicating in one number for how survivable different temp/humidity combos are without needing a chart. It's basically "air temperature but if you couldn't sweat any harder."
But if they're mixing it with normal temperature, extremely dishonest. Which is what we have come to expect.
"Surface" being an asphault parkobg lot?
Here in central Europe summer has been extremely mild so far (70-77°F in the middle of summer). It's been raining a lot so they've switched to flooding fear porn and propaganda.
That's the beauty of climate "change". No matter what, they can turn anything into fear porn. Hot, cold, dry, wet ... it's all signs of the end times.
Yea. I remember it was global warming until blizzards kept happening. I even remember an article saying all these blizzards further prove global warming
Yeah, 'climate change' is an example of communist (or even Babylonian) magic. It forces everybody to say 'well look, climate is always changing but...', and the audience only really hears the first part.
Same thing with 'racism etc'... "Hey, I'm not racist but... Blacks...". "I have no problem with gays but...."
In all cases you're forced to reinforce the problem before talking about it.
I don't expose myself to that sort of news enough to notice but, now that I've checked...that's a big yes.
Also, check this bullshit out. (And, no, I don't live in Portland, I just searched for Oregon weather news and found that.)
It's actually shockingly fucking dishonest. The saying has been making the rounds, but you don't hate journalists enough.
Oh, man, record high temps!
It's a little unclear, but when they say 'first time this year,' they actually mean for the first time of that year,' not that this year they hit it for the first time.
Again, hilariously dishonest and stupid.
I can't tell if the author is lying, or simply too stupid to read. Probably a combination, honestly.
And people don’t check but you can find hotter temps years ago
My favorite is when they change the heat color maps to make it look like it's getting worse.
That one of the UK is my favorite. 27-29C temps 5 years ago? All good. Nice yellow green hue. Now? Deep red like its a terror alert.
Yup. It's clearly available, and it's not what the media spin tells you.
Yeah I live in an area that's been getting a couple days a year in the low triple digits as long as I can remember but everyone is opportunistically freaking out about it now. Somehow I doubt it will be as urgent in 2025.
where and how that temperature is measured matters too.
middle of an airport runway at high noon? fuck off.
They act like these records mean anything, but most of them only go back a few decades, which is meaningless in terms of global climate.
Like, what, you're going to record average daily temperatures with an ice core?
Despite all this climate change, a lot of the record highs are still unbeaten from almost 100 years ago. Weird.
I saw someone explaining this the other day. Also I can’t remember where but they had the temps in scary red numbers and then it was shown that the same temps a few years back were shown as normal
Sometimes even hotter numbers were shown as normal.
They literally just recolored the maps to make them look scary. It would be funny, if so many people weren't so dumb and/or indoctrinated to eat it up.
Meanwhile in Europe it’s the coldest summer in ages. But the climate
doomgoblinsactivists have convinced the media that both hot and cold weather is evidence that supports their climate model…They finally gave up on screaming "weather isn't climate" every time a boomer posted snow in April on facebook and decided to embrace the tactic.
I think my favorite is seeing just how often I'm supposed to be under a power blackout, that I'm reading about on my computer.
Sure there were power outages during the freeze. Specifically because those Austin retards tied their whole grid to green power with no ability to handle sags or demand. But that part gets left out.
The grid is powered somewhat by nuclear. Wish they would build more silos
I agree completely. Nuclear power investment is long overdue.
Surely, the sudden increase in electic vehicle charging and "heat pumps" (due to government meddling) has nothing to do with the rolling brownouts?
My mother got it from somewhere, but I don't know where. It's kinda disappointing because I've red pilled her on a lot of issues and she's voting for Trump after only voting for 1 Republican in her entire life.
That’s good to hear. A good friend of mine got his whole life long democratic family to vote Trump
Every July. 🙄
In Britain we're getting "it's cloudy so climate change is going to kill us".
And at the same time it's been weeks if rain and temps of 10-15c in southern Norway. It was under 10 the other night, got so cold it was uncomfortable to sleep with my normal empty duvet cover + blanket. There's even been snowfall in the mountains that don't get snowfall during summer.
But every nation is simultaneously warming more than any other nation, and you'll find headlines from probably every nation from A-Z
I'd be fine with the alarmism, if they also panicked every winter and said "there's snow outside! Global cooling! We're all going to freeze to death!" every time water froze.
Or even if they did this when Summers were cold. Last year, Ontario had one of the coldest and wettest summers I can remember, but everyone kept on about how all the wildfires in Canada were because of global warming.
Turns out it was almost all arson, but don't let a little eco-terrorism derail your propaganda train.
Member when they laughed at snowball guy in congress? Now they do the exact same thing lol
Every day. The BBC Weather is now putting RED HOT visuals up to mark the places where the actual temperature is a perfectly normal 72-76 and has remained as such through to this moment.
I have a psychological theory for this. We all know Californians have been moving to the rest of the country. For those who don't know, much of the California coast is pretty much paradise on earth as far as climate is concerned. These people move to the South (or even the midwest) and experience highs in the mid-90s or low 100s combined with 90% humidity, and they think the planet is on fire. We call it summer and its always been this way. They buy the propaganda because they think every day should have lows in the 60s, highs in the 70s, and low humidity with a constant pacific breeze.
Very good point
Meanwhile in the UK we've had two miserable summers back to back, but in 2022 we had one of the hottest days I've ever experienced in this country. Weather is unpredictable, stop the f'n presses.
When I wasca kid everyone was panicking about the Ozone. You never hear about the Ozone anymore.
True
Slightly warmer weather is welcome for Scandinavia, we will finally be able to buy cheap tomatoes, paprika and other summer crops as greenhouses wont be necessary. We have plenty of water too.
When the terminology changed from global warming to climate change, I shut my ears off to all the fear mongering.
When I found out not too long after that they were squawking about an ice age in the 70s/80s, I shut my brain off to it.
If I'm going to believe that humans can manipulate the weather, then I would say chemtrails and magnetic earthquake machines are real, but only for the irony
Climate change is going to kill us all so give us your Guns and taxes are raised by 50%. Also we're going to ship in infinite 3rd worlders and buy up all the coastal land.
More so in the past five years, yes. You know how it goes now, everything that happens from the weather is due to climate change. "OMG why do we have so much hot, so many tornadoes, so many hurricanes, so much bad cold weather, it's CLIMATE CHANGE! We better get used to this because that fucker Greg Abbott won't solve it for us like if we had a good progressive in there!"
It not even unusually hot. It's been this hot the entire decade and a half I lived in Texas. I wouldn't even say this summer so far has been unusually hot. I can't pick out a single weather occurrence that's unusual from any point in my life. One year when I was about 8th grade, it rained what seemed like every other day. We had bad hurricanes then. I grew up on tornado warnings, back when they didn't have enough to do much more than putting the whole county under a warning.
The way they're faking the data is insidious, as well. Asphalt stores heat instead of dissipating it lile natural growth does - modern cities are guaranteed to be hotter than normal areas in the past. They also use temp gathering instruments from places like airports, massive asphalt pads and such.
The awful, cool summer (parts of North East Greenland will be warmer than parts of the UK today) has silenced the climate change crowd. Not even Just Stop Oil has been out blocking roads and throwing paint since their Stonehenge stunt.
Last week had ~3 days were quite warm (~30°C) but that's normal for a summer. And temps have already dropped down again.
Of course the media is on the board by showing tempatures of ~27°C as "deep red". Hey, it's summer, 25-30°C are super normal during thta time here.
I saw a news report the other day and it was like "HEAT ADVISORY!!" and I look and it's like 91 degrees. The fuck do I need a heat advisory for that for? Call me when it's over 100 and then we'll talk.
Not just the heat either, every weather event is hyped to be the apocalypse. Like weather never existed before 1990.
Exactly.
Yeah it's mid 70s here (midwest) we haven't even gotten the hot August weather yet, it's been very rainy, yet the news is all HEAT WAVE OMG.
