The propaganda about the alleged dangerous spike in U.S. heat waves is all hot air. Honest, unbiased data from the last century and a quarter show that there is, in fact, no uptick in heat waves, nor are we experiencing any unprecedented temperatures.
Since I live in Arizona, I have been able to observe from experience just how ridiculous the climate alarmist propaganda is. Every year, my weather app and media outlets assure me that temperatures are 2°F, 5°F, or 7°F above normal. If that were true, average summer temperatures here would be over 150°F by now. In reality, it's all garbage. Arizona summers are as hot as they have always been. This summer, however, temperatures rose above 100°F later in the year than usual. The unprecedented heat wave exists only in the alarmists' imaginations.
But it turns out that Tucson, Ariz., is hardly the only place where climate propaganda is not reflecting the reality.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) was citing a former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) leader to claim that global warming is driving up summer temperatures and that the trend will continue until it reaches catastrophic proportions worldwide. Supposedly “Big Oil” is the problem. If only we didn’t use gas, summer wouldn’t be hot, apparently. And we are supposed to believe in the myth of average global temperature, which simply does not exist. I added in a second chart to illustrate that reality.
Shelly, I can’t seem to spot the increase in heatwaves on this chart.

It was really hot in Western Europe last month. But it was hot-cold-hot-cold-hot-cold around the Northern Hemisphere. I don't know how emissions explain this. Maybe the fraudsters at World Weather Attribution could make something up? https://t.co/RFqlAOPDtI pic.twitter.com/SiAUgGNJmZ

It is entirely normal for there to be periods of a few years when the weather gets a little hotter or a little cooler during the summer. Weather has always changed since the beginning of time, and it is not going to stop changing because we use solar panels or accelerate climate change on a global scale because we drive SUVs and eat burgers. The very idea that making our electric grid less efficient or reserving cars only for the elite literally changes the climate of the entire planet is so laughable that it is difficult to believe any adults actually fall for it.

Of course, I happen to believe that top politicians like Whitehouse do not actually believe the propaganda. Whitehouse is one of the richest members of Congress with a net worth of somewhere between $6.8 million and $24 million.
His carbon footprint is exponentially greater than that of all the ordinary citizens whom he claims have to change their lives to save the planet. For him, as for many other leftists, climate alarmism is a convenient cover for authoritarian initiatives.
And that is precisely why wokies cannot allow any objective science. They have to ignore, suppress, or manipulate the data to fit their narrative. Whitehouse doesn't want to discuss charts like the ones above, which show that there is no reason to panic over summer heat. Every single time climate alarmism is put to the test against honest, long-term data, it melts.
