USHCN thermometers show that temperatures in Kansas City have been in sharp decline since the 1930s, with 1921 being by far the hottest year. NOAA has diligently fixed this inconvenient city (and most of the rest of the US) by massively tampering with the data. Red line shows the thermometer data, blue line shows the corrupted adjusted data.

We were 104 in DC yesterday and had severe storms last night. Local crackpot TV weatherman said if it weren’t for global warming, we wouldn’t be having this kind of weather. Climate Progress ( or lack thereof) couldn’t wait to post the comment.
If the comment is valid, how do you explain 106 degrees for DC in 1930 (also 1918) or severe storms that ripped apart whole city blocks during July 1871?
The bad thing about DC heat is the humidity. Makes you think that a dry heat is underrated. I ask: which would you rather be in, DC at a humid 100, or Phoenix at 118?
I’ll go for DC at 100. I have lived in Houston, Austin and Phoenix. Summer in Phoenix is almost intolerable unless you have a swimming pool.
The result of all this prevarication is to make people not believe anything they hear. Who knows the extent of the lies that have been told, in all areas. From Fast and Furious to made-up data in medical studies. Who or what to believe? Lies are killing people and the country.
Drudge, a supposed conservative, is still up to inexplicable tricks, highlighting as the headline high temps in Kansas, and also headlining heat stories down the line, without mentioning concurrent record cold temps in many spots in the USA: http://iceagenow.info/2012/06/massive-number-record-lows-summer/
Drudge, if he can’t be an effective media trumpet for conservatives, needs to be replaced. One thing, a recent Pew poll shows only 19% of Repubs believe in man-made gwarming (dig into the verbiage to find the actual 19% number [11% among self-described Tea Partiers]). So, it’s one thing to go over to the leftist side on issues where there is less clear cut virtual unanimity among conservatives, but to take such a bold leftist stand (headlining for 3 days straight!) on an issue that is very important to most conservatives [as AGW is the justification for O’s war on energy], is lowly.
Sure, you could suggest that Drudge is just reporting news, not pushing a warmist line. But others are reporting the heat and saying it’s linked to gwarming; Drudge is implicitly doing the same. What a scumbag.
