It's Obama HOT!
- Thread starter bugscoe
- Start date
Since I live in Minny- above are the record high temps. The global warming jackasses just can't stick to actual numbers to prove their point which proves mine. Frauds! Just like they do with Obama's jobs numbers- use Obama's credit column to compare against Bush's net column.
From this point on I will follow Maher's logic and report the wind chill as the actual temp come winter time here! Lol!
Maher Proves Limbaugh's Point About Hyped Heat Wave Reports: 'It Was 123 In Minnesota'
By Noel Sheppard | July 23, 2011 | 17:43
Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh on Wednesday mocked news outlets hyping the heat wave gripping much of the nation by reporting the heat index rather than the actual temperatures.
On Friday's "Real Time," host Bill Maher proved Limbaugh's point by falsely telling his audience, "It was 123 in Minnesota" (video follows with transcript and commentary, vulgarity alert):
Before we get to the stupidity and/or dishonesty on display, Maher followed this up by making another tasteless joke about Marcus Bachmann:
Hysterical, isn't it?
Not so funny was how Maher was doing exactly what Limbaugh spoke about Wednesday:
Indeed. Maher likely got this 123 figure from a CNN.com piece reporting such a heat index in Hutchinson, Minnesota, Tuesday.
If folks like him were honest, they would first make clear that heat index is not temperature. It's temperature including the impact humidity has on it.
And that's the real news this week that global warming obsessed media members have downplayed - record humidity.
As Conservation Minnesota reported Wednesday:
Yet, as Minnesota Public Radio reported Wednesday, it was only 93 F when that record-breaking heat index was recorded in Moorhead.
What was responsible then? As the Bemidji Pioneer reported Saturday, it was the unprecedented humidity:
Of course, it's also been a very rainy season throughout much of the upper Midwest adding to the high humidity levels.
But folks like Maher aren't concerned with such things.
Heat indices skyrocketed last week, and that must mean Nobel laureate Gore is right about global warming regardless of all the other factors involved.
When I lived up North, that was common. I saw the same kind of thing in Yuma. I learned that people everywhere take the highest or lowest number then can find--it makes for bragging rights. So, yeah, people love to use "with the wind chill" when it makes the number much lower, more dramatic. They also play the same game with Celsius vs. Fahrenheit, switching scales for the "better" number.
All that said, there is of course a real utility to using wind chill and heat index. Finally, last I read, around 100 record highs (not index highs) have been set this month in the US, mostly back east.
The climate is obviously changing in a way that is a bit more dramatic than usual. Has the evil man made a contribution to that? Of course, but unbiased data tells us that contribution is relatively insignificant. The major contributor is the Sun, over which we have virtually no control. Sorry, that's just how it is.
100 records!? Why do you read the main stream media? They lie, you've just proven it by stating the above.
I'm sorry to burst your global warming hysteria bubble but there were only 44 records broken out of a possible 148,631 records this July.
Facts suck.
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/extremes/records/controller.php use the Records Look-Up function to see for yourself.
WTF? Your claim was that 'you read' around 100 records were broken this July. This is your response? To show a chart from CaptialClimate that doesn't even include July 2011?
Show me by using the Records Look-Up function from the NOAA website database of all-time Max Temperatures what 100 cities these records were broken in this July.

Lol, wtf? wtf? wtf?
I was skimming the news. You challenged me to google the record highs set, so I did. Admittedly I did not get July, but 2011's data so far to July is blowing a hole below the waterline in your ship of denial.
How do you go from last week admitting that warming is happening, not Man-caused of course, to this morning?
