Media Scapegoat Fossil Fuels For Heat Waves, But Experts Say Asphalt, Cityscapes Real Culprit
by Kevin Killough  5 hours ago 

Las Vegas broke its all-time high-temperature record over the Fourth of July weekend when the thermometer climbed to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. That event was part of a heat wave that’s been blanketing the western U.S. [emphasis, links added]

Heat waves bring a barrage of dramatic media reports.


This summer’s heat wave solicited a headline in the San Francisco Chronicle that claimed that 120 degrees is comparable to a pizza oven. Commercial pizza ovens are closer to 1,000 degrees, and home-baked pizzas are cooked between 425 and 500 degrees.

With the heat wave bearing down on the West Coast, the Los Angeles Times editorial board argued that life would be better if we just got rid of fossil fuels.

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
