ABC News Ignores Urban Heat Island Effect On Early Cherry Blossoms, Blames Climate Change
by H. Sterling Burnett  Mar 27, 2025
 
ABC News ran a story this week reporting on the early bloom of the cherry blossom trees in Washington, D.C., attributing the early bloom to climate change. This is false. [emphasis, links added]


Although the cherry blossom bloom has arrived earlier in recent years, the cause is the population increase in D.C and development that has caused localized heat biases from the urban heat island (UHI) effect, causing fewer late season freezes and higher average nighttime temperatures in the area. The same is true for Tokyo.

The reporter in the ABC News item, “Cherry blossoms blooming earlier due to climate change,” says that “Washington’s iconic cherry blossoms are approaching peak bloom, and it’s happening earlier due to human-amplified climate change.”

This change, while not catastrophic, is disrupting travel to see the blooms, causing travelers who come to D.C. to see the bloom annually to have to plan for earlier vacations.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

A couple points from Mein Kampf apply here about propaganda:

Propaganda is for the lesser educated, never for the "intelligentsia."

If you are going to lie, make the lie so big people won't doubt it.

Once you tell a lie, never back off or change it.

Poor ABC.....   I kind of see how General Lee felt in March 1865.

Need to have a pool on which MSM outlet is the last to cackle this scam publicly.   I'm going with CNN, as long as that loony Armapoor is employed there.
