Real Climate Science

Vox packed an impressive amount of misinformation into two sentences.

Droughts, heat waves, and wildfires are growing more intense and dangerous from global warming and rising greenhouse gas emissions. Meanwhile, we’re not reckoning with scientists’ predictions that worst-case weather scenarios will be more likely — and common — if we don’t change course.

Arizona hasn’t had a day over 120 degrees since 1995.   Days over 120 degrees used to be quite common in Arizona, but they never happen any more.

The two worst heatwaves were in 1896 and 1905, when Arizona reached 126 and 127 degrees. Both heatwaves had seven consecutive days over 120 degrees.

Phoenix’s worst heatwave occurred in June 1974, when they had eighteen consecutive days over 110 degrees. That was my freshman year at ASU, and was also the peak year of the ice age scare.

Nothing that Vox said had any basis in reality. But by using the words “scientists’ predictions” they believe they can get away with any fraudulent claim they want.

On this date in 1900, ten thousand people died in a hurricane in Galveston, Texas. Alexandria Cortez and Bernie Sanders want to recreate the safe climate of 1900, by shutting down our energy supply and sending civilization back to the pre-industrial era.

By 1892, scientists were pondering if Martians were more intelligent than Eskimos, and said a cold climate causes intelligence not to develop.

Until 60 years ago, this time of year used to often be hot around the US, but hot weather this late in the year has become rare in most locations.

These maps show the five hottest September 9ths, in 1931, 1925, 1939, 1955 and 1912.

This is what science says when it teaches, as it rigorously does, that no hypothesis should be advanced when it can neither be proved nor disproved by processes of verification.
