 No, The West Coast Heat Wave Has Nothing To Do With Climate Change

As Ockham's Razor says, the simplest answer is usually the right one. The simplest explanation for the heat wave is not climate change.

Was last week’s record heatwave in the Pacific Northwest caused by a climate-altering buildup of human greenhouse gases? The once-august Scientific American claimed it was, declaring, “Unprecedented Heat Wave in Pacific Northwest Driven by Climate Change.” Other outlets like the Washington Post echoed this narrative.

It’s helpful to remember climate change commentators live by two rules: First, everything is linked to climate change. Second, when in doubt, see rule number one. This simple, two-rule test shows up in any of the activist corporate media’s coverage of climate “related” events. It’s what makes them both boring and predictable.

Yet what happened in the Pacific Northwest the week before Independence Day was caused by the weather, not the climate. Simply put, a high-pressure dome built up over southern British Columbia. This caused strong downslope winds from the north.

And what created that weather pattern?

Random fluctuations caused by a butterfly in Hawaii flapping its wings.

That wasn't a legitimate heat wave.  If people are talking about how brutal heat waves are today, they apparently never knew of the great dust bowl.  THAT was a heat wave. But because it happened before St. Algore and his holy goranies conjured up global warming they can't count it.  As far as butterfly farts, that's what democrats and the media would want you to believe when, in fact, it is the farts of the sabre tooth slug of Tora Bora that creates the problem. :whistle:
