Midwest summers used to be much hotter, but the frequency of 90 degree days has plummeted over the past 85 years.
Look for climate experts and government officials to continue lying about hot weather, for as long as they can get away with it.

And 75% of those hot days are caused by your SUV, or something… squirrel!

The temperatures would rise like never before,
Doom and disaster for us all, of that they were sure…”

Corn is very sensative to high temperatures. The corn yield graph is an exact inverse of that chart.
It is not all temp related as genetic varieties, farming techniques, etc have improved dramatically, but the hot summer of 2012 showed that heat trumps all the tech we can throw at farming.
Plants don’t have a political agenda.
Winnipeg. Living here in Southern MN where there is extremely rich corn growing soil,
I find your information very interesting
Thank You
R squared on trend yield miss vs %>90F is .57. That is a very high correlation for a weather input.
A study showed that heat is as much of a determining factor for the corn crop as rain. For example, the summer of 1918 was a fairly normal summer in the US corn belt, except for about 5 days of extreme heat in early August, when it was well over 100 degrees. Good rains and cooler weather followed, but just that one brief heatwave reduced the crop by approximately 10%
Actually a cool, dry summer usually has above average yields. .
Tony: can i get that data in table form? I would like to add to my corn yield chart and send to customers.

Awesome. thank you.
tweeted the chart back to you. i cant figure out how to post a picture here.
Why did I have to have those blasted hot days when I was a kid working all day!
Thank you for showing how dishonest politicians and scientists work together to convert a few measurements of reality into scary headlines to frighten the public.
We need to know how to convert reliable information on reality* into
1. Faith in the benevolence of the powerful force that controls reality, and
2. Fortitude to throw off tyrannical rule by crooked politicians and pseudo-scientists.
*Reality: Humanity lives on a water-covered planet one AU (astronomical unit) away from the pulsar that
_ a.) Made all of the chemical elements from neutrons
_ b.) Birthed the solar system five billion years (5 Ga) ago
_ c.) Gravitationally retained waste products (H & He) to moderate gamma rays into
_ d.) Visible light to sustain the origin and evolution of life on Earth after 3.5 Ga ago
_ e.) Still controls and sustains every atom, life and world and in the solar system today
and the changing climate of every planet in a volume of space that has now expanded to be greater then the combined volumes of 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 Earth’s!
That truth can free humanity from tyranny, but it is almost impossible to communicate. Have spiritual leaders tried to communicate the same truth to humanity under the guise of various religious teachings? We know only a little, but it appears that spirituality and science are merging on the same truth.
Sadly, you are correct that there is nothing harder to communicate, than the truth.
” There are none so blind as one who will not see”. I am almost 74 yrs old, and have
seen people cling to a sweet lie, in the face of contrary proof, most of my life. Those
of us who think you just have to present the truth to win, are facing certain
disapointment. They will drag their sweet lie to their grave. Illusion trumps reality.
“Science advances one funeral at a time.”
-Max Planck
Thank you, Richard, for sage advice and gator69 for the quote from Max Planck. He was right.
I am about five years (5 yr) senior to Richard Clenney, and will – like my research mentor (the late Paul Kazuo Kuroda) – go to my grave clinging to same truth:
The birth of the world about five billion years ago was very much like the destruction of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945.
Neutron repulsion in the core of the Sun violently fissioned the star in a supernova event that birthed the solar system five billion years (5 Ga) ago, . . .
just as neutron repulsion in the core of uranium atoms fissioned the uranium atoms that vaporized Hiroshima on 6 Aug 1945.
Praise God for the cooler temps!
Children won’t know what hot days are.
Actual real scientists are aware of the change for a large part of the US, and that it does not show the “AGW signal”. It’s called “the warming hole” and is the subject of research.
More on this subject, please.
The states noted must be in the ‘warming hole’.
I put an rsq plot against the %>90F data from 1980 and co2 and came up with 0.0163 with a negative slope. Translation: there is a very, very small chance that there is a relationship between co2 and days in the midwest above 90F, and if that improbable connection exists, it is a negative correlation.
I would probably get a better relationship between the price of butter in Paris and kangaroo population in queensland.
“Only a few simulations exhibited the observed rapid rate of warming (cooling) during 1901–40 (1940–79).”
http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/JCLI3848.1
You see? Actual real scientists are aware of the rapid warming, and then cooling, which was actually measured. Not the pseudoscience that tries to get rid of the two events. The wealth of data for the area means even with adjustments, there is no AGW warming observed, Why it’s such a mystery to the world is most likely politics, the bane of real science.
The US is the only large area with good contiguous data, so they assume it is an anomaly to their worthless models.
Yes, Steven, you figured out the game plan:
LIE, and if they catch you, tell more and bigger LIES!
Here are a few empirical facts uncovered by measurements during the first twelve years of my research career and then re-buried under additional consensus LIES:
1. 1960: The Earth and meteorites formed four to five billion years (4-5 Ga) ago when radioactive iodine-129 (I-129) and plutonium-244 (Pu-244) were still alive and decaying. e.g., almost immediately after these were produced by violent nuclear reactions in a supernova.
2. 1964: Solar-wind neon is systematically enriched in lighter mass isotopes from mass-fractionation in the Sun.
3. 1967: Iron meteorites formed as early as so-called primitive meteorites and trapped as much short-lived iodine-129.
4. 1971: The interior of the Earth still contains gaseous decay-products of 16-MY iodine-129 and 82-MY plutonium-244 from nucleosynthesis immediately before the solid grains formed that would eventually accumulate into planet Earth.
5. 1972-1975: Carbonaceous chondrites formed directly from poorly mixed supernova debris before:
_ a.) Elements from different layers of the supernova and
_ b.) Isotopes of the same element made in different regions of the supernova . . .
homogenized (mixed together).
One Point that needs to be answer by the agw fanatics..
Their claim: Co2 will destroy the planet; and its a greater threat than a nuclear iran.
Question: if co2 is worse than nukes; because it will end the world .. do we not have a moral obligation to destroy China and India?? As their co2 output is increasing exponentially, putting us onto a path of world wide destruction.
Whats a nuclear war, compared to increased Co2!!! Nothing … C02 is infinitely worse
And it would be over in less than 2 hours !
