81% of the weather stations used in NOAA’s database reported that since 1948 there has been "either a decrease or no change in the number of unusually hot days."
According to NOAA, huge swaths of the United States have experienced a significant decrease in abnormally hot days recorded since 1948, especially in the Midwest and northern and eastern Texas.
Although it’s true that some parts of the United States have seen the number of hotter-than-usual days increase over the past 70 years — including in California and the New York metropolitan area, both of which happen to be areas where a large number of media outlets are located — most weather stations have shown no meaningful changes or even declines.
I'll make you a bet. You pick five American locations. I'll pick five. Urban, suburban, rural, or any combination. Just make sure they have temperature records going back to 1890.BackInTex wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2023 8:04 amIt’s not climate change that’s causing heat waves this summer81% of the weather stations used in NOAA’s database reported that since 1948 there has been "either a decrease or no change in the number of unusually hot days."According to NOAA, huge swaths of the United States have experienced a significant decrease in abnormally hot days recorded since 1948, especially in the Midwest and northern and eastern Texas.

First, we'd have to eliminate urban areas that have seen growth more than 10% since 1890. No one would logically argue against uban areas creating excess heat due to asphalt/concrete, glass building reflecting the sun, and thermal release from building HVACs, and just general density of energy use.Bob78164 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2023 9:34 amI'll make you a bet.

You score 1 point each time (a) there's a record low for the date, or (b) the high temperature for the date is a record low for the date. (If both happen on the same day, it's two points.) I score 1 point each time (a) there's a record high for the date, or (b) the low temperature for the date is a record high for the date. (If both happen on the same day, it's two points.)
We add up the scores after five years. Most points wins.

The reason that heat waves in the 1930s were worse is because of poor land management methods made worse by a large number of farm failures. Without crops in place to help keep the soil moist, much of the midwest became desert-like meaning that it took thermal energy to heat the atmosphere. That's why the hottest parts of the world have always been arid deserts rather than tropical rain forests that are closer to the equator.BackInTex wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2023 11:48 amFirst, we'd have to eliminate urban areas that have seen growth more than 10% since 1890.

Well, you’re not taking into account all of the cool air coming out of the houses when kids leave the door open. That’s going to tend to bring down city temps quite a bit according to my parents. Can’t tell you how many times I was yelled at growing up in Houston for trying to air-condition the whole neighborhood.BackInTex wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2023 11:48 amFirst, we'd have to eliminate urban areas that have seen growth more than 10% since 1890.
