EPA promotes U.S. heatwave increase since 1960s while downplaying HUGE DECREASE in U.S. heatwaves since

https://www.epa.gov/climate-indicators/climate-change-indicators-heat-waves#%20Start your climate analysis in 1961 and you get to show a big increase in heat waves. This type of tactic is very supportive of the man-made climate narrative. But the EPA also reveals that If you go back further in the “heatwave” record, their entire man-made climate change analysis falls apart.
From EPA website: “This figure shows changes in the number of heat waves per year (frequency); the average length of heat waves in days (duration); the number of days between the first and last heat wave of the year (season length); and how hot the heat waves were, compared with the local temperature threshold for defining a heat wave (intensity). These data were analyzed from 1961 to 2019 for 50 large metropolitan areas. The graphs show averages across all 50 metropolitan areas by decade.”

EPA also seems to bury this chart available on another page that is linked.
