Utahns are feeling more extreme summer heat due to climate change, study says
Salt Lake Tribune ^ | October 25, 2017 | By Luke Ramseth

A majority of Americans — and Utahns — are facing more days of extreme heat each summer than they did a few decades ago, according to a study that highlights the health effects of that trend.

The study released Tuesday by the environmental advocacy group Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) finds that two-thirds of the U.S. population, or about 210 million people, live in counties that have faced more extreme heat days each year over the past decade than they did from 1961 to 1990.

The NRDC cited Utah as one of 20 states, plus Washington, D.C., with populations especially hard hit by extended and sweltering heat waves. Heat stress, the report said, currently causes almost 250 emergency room visits per year in the state.

“If we keep pouring climate pollutants such as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, we will face a level of global warming in which our best efforts will be inadequate to prevent adverse impacts of heat on our health,” said Linda Rudolph, director for the Center for Climate Change and Health at the California-based nonprofit Public Health Institute.

In Utah, average temperatures have climbed almost 2 degrees since the early 1990s. And if carbon pollution levels continue to rise at their current pace globally, average temperatures in the state could be 13 degrees higher than the historical averages by the end of the century, the NRDC said.

I’m waiting for that headline that says “_______ feeling [hotter/cooler] ______ summers due to climate stasis.”

Delingpole: Now 400 Scientific Papers in 2017 Say ‘Global Warming’ Is a Myth

When I reported earlier this year on the 58 scientific papers published in 2017 that say global warming is a myth the greenies’ heads exploded.

Since then, that figure has risen to 400 scientific papers.

Can you imagine the misery and consternation and horror this is going to cause in the corrupt, rancid, rent-seeking world of the Climate Industrial Complex?

I can. It will look something like this.

Just to be clear, so the greenies can’t bleat about being misrepresented, here is what these various papers say:

The solution is obvious, Utah. Mormons need to stop having so many kids.

Simply hotter than last year.

Next year may be colder.

Keep the concepts simple and sleep better.

Goebbels is right.

They just make this up.

People have been brainwashed and don’t remember the past.

It’s Indian Summer here in Los Angeles. Totally normal to have 100 degree weather in October anywhere up and down the coastal region of California.

But there’s the World Series, so this is proof of Global Warming to idiots all over the place because it’s so hot during a World Series.

Meanwhile, in Florida, it is a frigid 70 degrees and people are wearing boots and winter coats.

You’d think they’d “report” an occasional positive development to make the lie more believable, but the Church of AGW attrition rate is so high that they can’t afford any let up on the propaganda drumbeat.

“If we keep pouring climate pollutants such as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere,

Why aren't Climate Change Hoax Deniers interested in finding out what this crap is that is being poured into our atmosphere every day. And don't tell me it's contrails. That's bullsh*t. Contrails dissipate. They don't spread. And, besides, those big ol' have defined routes, just like highways. They don't just fly whereever they want and make circles and figure eights and whatnot.

"about 210 million people, live in counties that have faced more extreme heat days each year over the past decade than they did from 1961 to 1990."

Conveniently ignoring the 1930's and 1940's which were the hottest decades.

Charles Manson, the notorious cult leader, has broken a 20-year silence in an interview from his prison cell to warn the world of an impending apocalypse due to global warming.

[snip]

Everyone’s God and if we don’t wake up to that there’s going to be no weather because our polar caps are melting because we’re doing bad things to the atmosphere,” he said.

The automobiles and fossil fuels are destroying the atmosphere and we won’t have air to breathe.
