What’s more ironic is that the Senate’s leading climate denier bailed on the annual Heartland climate science denial conference this morning — saying “I am under the weather” (!) — just as his home state is being slammed by a record-smashing heatwave and a drought more severe than the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.

YTD precipitation in Oklahoma was drier in 1895, 1936, 1996, 1963, 1917, 1972, 1896, 1971, 1962, 1910, 1956, 1925, 2003 and 1934. YTD precipitation is almost 50% higher than 1895.

Romm is simply making up statistics – once again.
