I wonder if any of the remaining 4 reports will say climate change is a socialists wet dream. And a hoax.

I wonder if any of the remaining 4 reports will say climate change is a socialists wet dream. And a hoax. "The report was produced with federal funding provided to the city of Los Angeles in partnership with the Los Angeles Regional Collaborative for Climate Action and Sustainability, a network of government, business, academia and non-profit groups."
Probably not.

This is BS for the simple reason that they can’t predict the pattern now, never mind with “climate change”. The way LA gets hot is offshore winds. Will “climate change” cause more or less of those? If they say they know the answer, they are lying.

That’s what they get for getting rid of the smog. At least it kept out the bright hot sun.

There might be some truth to that. Today, it was 105 degrees in Brawley, Imperial County, Calif. Must be due to global warming!

"The report "downscaled" 22 global climate models and integrated the results to observe climate change's influence at the neighborhood level -- within a grid of 1.2-mile squares.The data includes Los Angeles and Orange counties and parts of Ventura, San Bernardino and Riverside counties." Garbage in, Garbage out.

Quick. Send them some more of our money. Look at the great work they are doing, projecting scare stories into the future.

Ok, I read their "report". It is full of the usual BS about how they can "downscale" climate models to predict local effects. But that is wrong for two reasons, first climate models can't predict anything and second, they can't be downscaled.
This is their key to excessive warmth prediction: "The scaling factor β dictates the size of the coastal-inland pattern. Using our dynamically downscaled output, we compute that α ranges between -0.10°C (summer) and 0.15°C (fall). In contrast, β varies little by season, ranging from 0.26 (winter) to 0.39 (spring)."
Their prose is the skilled prose of professional liars. One might think that α and β are somehow calculated from weather patterns (present or even the unknowable future). But they are not. They are simply a garbage side effects of their statistical model which is filled with their made-up assumptions. They cannot possibly know whether there will be more land breezes or ocean breezes in the future.

Way behind the times. And they call themselves progressive ?
It is no longer called Climate Change, which was a joke to start with. The climate always changes. It is now called Sustainable Development. And who knows what they will be calling it in a couple of years.

118 out here in the desert all next week. The high was 118 last year.
These cycles suck, where's the ice age those damned hippies promised?!?

What do ya want? It’s Arizona.
The temps in Arizona more resemble an oven setting.
Last time I was there, rented a car and the seat belt connector literally branded my arm...
If ya like living like a lizard, you’ll love Arizona!

In related but unreported news, it has now been 2432 days since the last major hurricane (Category 3 or higher) has made landfall in the United States. This shatters the old record of 2231 days set 19 Oct 1906.
This long calm spell is due, of course, to Global Warming.

Yep. At first the models probably predicted some cooling. After tweaking the variables enough the desired results were achieved.
