Jet-Fueled Lies: Tampa’s Fake Temperature Record
What happens when climate propaganda meets jet exhaust and asphalt

On July 27, 2025, Tampa, Florida, allegedly reached a new record high of 100°F. Almost instantly, the National Weather Service rolled out celebratory graphics and social media posts. Headlines echoed across national outlets. Climate activists called it a warning... a wake-up call... another undeniable sign that the climate crisis is accelerating.


But as usual, very few paused to ask a basic question: How was this temperature measured?
 
We have seen this scam before. Manufactured records based on poorly located weather stations, amplified by the Urban Heat Island Effect, surrounded by tarmac, concrete, and combustion engines. Last year I laid this out in detail in my article on Las Vegas' record heat, where temperatures reached 120°F... not in a desert basin but at Harry Reid International Airport, right beside taxiing aircraft.

The same patterns play out here. Tampa's supposed 100°F record is not a warning sign from the sky... it's the predictable outcome of poor siting, jet exhaust, and a media machine desperate for proof of planetary collapse.

In a previous deep dive into heat wave trends, I showed that there's no clear relationship between greenhouse gas concentrations and extreme heat. In fact, the worst heat waves in U.S. history occurred nearly a century ago, including the 1936 Dust Bowl, when CO2 levels were around 310 ppm.

The global warming hysterics have always preferred urban and suburban weather stations to rural weather stations in creating their models, precisely because they can confound increases in local temperature due to increased urban heat island effect from things like extra paved surfaces, more airline traffic, with what they purport to be measuring, warming due to greenhouse gas emissions.

Big effing whoopie.  100F is nothing new in Boston during Summer.  Yeah, it's uncommon, but it's happened before, and it will happen again.

We're having a hot and cold Summer up here ... 95+ for a couple of days ... 70's for a couple of days ... the Canadian wildfire smoke has wafted our way ... you can see the smoke in the air ... makes it hazy ... I hope this crap doesn't give me 2nd-hand smoke cancer.

The sub 100 temperature record stood because of the afternoon seabreeze convergence in Tampa.  Mornings are terribly hot, but things become overcast by lunchtime.  The seabreeze is like hair dryer in a sauna.  If we get a persistent land breeze, it's like standing on the surface of the sun.
