Democratic lawmakers in Washington DC, like Barack Obama and Sheldon Whitehouse, believe that they are burning up. To get a feel for the level of stupidity on display by these two clowns, look at the stats for DC.
The Potomac was frozen solid in DC during March, for the first time on record.
March 7, 2015
In 1946, the cherry trees were already blooming by March 15.
Winter temperatures just west of DC have been plummeting for 25 years, with the last two being two of the four coldest on record.
Snowfall has been increasing, with two of the four snowiest years occurring since 2010
The past two years have both seen 7 record cold daily temperatures, the most in 110 years.
The frequency of 90 degree days has plummeted, peaking at one day out of four in 1911, and last year about one day out of thirty.
Summer temperatures have plummeted over the lat 80 years, with last summer being the second coolest on record. We didn’t have any really hot days last summer – it never even occurred to me to want to turn the air conditioner on.
By all measures, Washington DC is getting much cooler and snowier, yet Obama and Whitehouse continue to try to convince other lawmakers that they are burning up.
But Washington isn’t the world, we need to look at the total atmosphere. Since Obama’s first child was born, the Earth’s atmosphere hasn’t warmed even 0.01 degrees. Only a complete idiot would take on an imaginary problem as his primary legacy.
“….Pseudoscience and socialism,
Obama and his tricks;
Combining fear and ignorance,
It’s such a potent mix.
A big enough lie told often enough,
How many are being deceived?
And his incredulous rants on climate,
By how many are being believed?….
…..Temperature rises are not rises at all,
A fact Obama has to keep hidden;
It does not support his climate agenda,
So raw data is being overridden.
Obama, he’s on a mission,
And the facts won’t stand in his way;
And if it means debasing science,
That’s the price we’ll have to pay…..”

The basic problem is Stalin emerged victorious from WWII during a news blackout of Aug-Sept 1945 events that changed the course if world history [1] and convinced world leaders to unite nations (UN) and national academies of science (NAS) into a worldwide Ministry of Consensus Science Truths on 24 Oct 1945.

But you aren’t going by the “official” station, Reagan National Airport, the alarmist poster child where even daytime tempeatures are 3-7 degrees warmer than surrounding areas.
UHI is several degrees. Why isn’t the adjusted data several degrees cooler than the raw data?
Such questions are way above our paygrade. If you aren’t getting government grants to push the AGW agenda, then you are simply not qualified to understand such things.
Of course if the scam ever does get debunked and generally recognized for what it is, such things (adjusting the wrong way for UHI) will be one of the reasons why.
Senator Whitehouse was born on the wrong side of stupid and would flunk his own IQ test. He is a democrat and has to focus on the “brand”. Anything that gets in the way is to be ignored.
Lincoln is not the same as the DC area at all. The records there do show an increase in very warm days. UHI or not, it is a real thing.
But, but, but… It’s “Climate Change” and we’ve been told that “Climate Change” is caused by CO2 being dumped into the atmosphere. They wouldn’t make that up, would they? If we can’t trust the president and the climate scientists like Michael Mann, et al, then who can we trust!? 🙂
One needs a measure of where it all started. A base line to compare to today’s lawmakers…
