Sleeping on the Capital grounds, Lincoln NE



quote:

During the Great Depression Nebraskans became accustomed to living under trying conditions. People had to cope not only with hard economic times but with the intense heat accompanied by a drought that plagued this state and much of the rest of the country.

The relentless heat was hard on everyone who suffered through the summer of 1936. The heatwave started in late June when temperatures across the United States exceeded 100 degrees. Temperatures reached record levels in July.

On July 25, 1936, the Lincoln Journal Star’s banner headline said it all: “Mercury 114; Breaks Record Here.” The Star reported: “The merciless heat followed the hottest night in all Lincoln history. The lowest temperature of the dark hours was 91.”

Many people suffered from heatstroke and heat exhaustion, particularly the elderly. In the era before air-conditioning and public swimming pools, most people could rely only on fans and blocks of ice for some degree of cooling. Some could swim in lakes and rivers, and cities opened fire hydrants. Many slept outdoors.

I was told by a local weatherwoman that a 118 degree day last week tied for the hottest temp in Phoenix. I remember 30+ years ago a 122 temperature, and having to shut Sky Harbor down because the tables pilots use to calculate speed/lift only went to 120 degrees.

She also said it was highly unusual for it to be 100 degrees last at night. It's not.

And I heard on the news two days ago that it's the hottest it's been in 120,000 years.

Didn't know they kept records that long ago.

This is great. Gateway Pundit is using Tony Heller climate change debunking content.

People should subscribe to Tony Heller's channel on YouTube. He destroys climate change propaganda almost everyday. His website is realclimatescience.com.

So actually 2022 is almost the coldest on record.

That's a Q-Anon linked conspiracy theory.

They can call it whatever the hell they want to, global warming, climate change, or earth gender transition.

You just go along with it.

And there was not nearly as much concrete in 1936 - or cars - or blazing lights in cities all night - or RVs - or - Jet Airliners - or air conditioners - or solar panels - or wind farms - or TV sets - or all the other things it takes to please the modern data consumers and flashy lifestyles.

Most temperature "records" before 1950 are regarded as suspect, due to a discarded methodology in recording these temps.

So-called "records" from the Dust Bowl year of 1936 can't be validated by modern means, and should by rejected. All-time state high temps that year include scorching readings of 120°F in Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma, and an unbelievable 121°F in Kansas! Just these numbers alone should raise red flags.

There are a few things about your post that do not disprove the claim that this is the hottest July on record, globally.

First, you're just showing North America.

Second, you're just showing high temps.

If over time the high temp stays exactly the same, but the low temp keeps climbing, the daily mean temp will rise. Even if the high is falling, if the low is climbing faster, the daily mean temp still rises. And it's all about the daily mean temp.

Showing these overly simplistic graphics trying to disprove global warming is just as stupid as when people produce overly simplistic graphics trying to prove global warming.

I have lived in Phoenix for 40 years and this July is the hottest month we have ever had, it has been absolutely brutal. June was one of the nicest Junes ever though so IDK what it all means.

So we got less than 75 years worth of data out of like, several billion?

And global warming narratives started by the 50s.

I think a lot of today's records/data are suspect. Take Phoenix for example. It's official temperature is taken at Sky Harbor airport, which lies in the middle of an ever expanding city sitting on the desert floor. With each passing year, the edges of metro-Phoenix creep further into the desert, replacing desert landscape with asphalt roads and tiles, concrete and other heat sinks. A temperature taken at Sky Harbor today versus 50 years ago means something different where "climate" is concerned than is being assumed.

Hottest temp in Memphis was 108 in 1980.

Hottest temp in New Orleans was 102 in 1980 and 1939.

It was hotter 45 years ago long before “global warming”.

NOAA has very strict protocols for installing and using weather stations. It's not like people just have thermometers out in a parking lot in direct sunlight. That's not to say urban heat islands haven't skewed the data to the warm side. But then again, if you have enough urban heat islands, eventually they can affect local climate and even regional climate.

The 50’s was over population and famine.

Then we had:

Ice age
Acid rain
Hole in ozone
Another ice age
Global Warming

And now the science is settled we have the all encompassing “climate change”.
