US Heatwaves Much Worse In Past

There were a few days of hot weather in the US a couple of weeks ago. Attribution “scientists” immediately jumped up and announced that the heatwave would have been “virtually impossible” without challenge.

It’s the same old, unsubstantiated claim that gets wheeled out every time it gets hot. And every time they ignore the lessons of history.

If heatwaves are caused by global warming, what caused them in the past? Not only have they always occurred, they were considerably more severe in the past in the US.

In 2017,  the US Global Change Research Program published the Fourth National Climate Assessment, a report mandated by Congress:

Running to 400+ pages, it was an extremely detailed, fully referenced assessment of the US climate and how it had changed over the years. Chapter 6, “Temperature Changes in the United States”, included this section on temperature extremes:

I think it's a good 10 years since we've seen over 100F sustained for more than a day. We've hit 99F a couple of times the last few years, low nineties for short periods here and there, and mostly mid-to-upper 80's for a good part of the summer. Springs have been cool to downright cold.

My grandmother's second husband was born in 1912. He talked about the 30's heat waves where it got repeatedly over 110F, and not for just one summer. They'd sleep on picnic tables with cages made of screen wire to keep out the mosquitos because they house was too warm at night.

What has happened is we've been pavlov'd by the relentless media propaganda that somehow upper 80's is some sort of 'record heat'. And townie pod people who always live in AC in the summer have bought it, because upper 80's 'feels hot' to them, so that's their truth.
