The Big Apple’s early summer weather is heating up the history books.

New York peaked at 90 degrees in Central Park Thursday — shattering a heat record set in the 1970s with weather rarely seen in spring, meteorologists said.

Temperatures climbed higher than the previous record for the day — set in 1977 at 88 degrees — as New Yorkers busted out sunscreen and suffered through sweltering outdoor jobs.

IIRC, 1977 was when the climatologists were predicting a new ice age.

And…?

Southern Israel hit with flash floods. Tel Aviv - Jerusalem highway with ice and fog and multi-car pile up at start of what should be the dry, hot season. Weather happens.

In the 70s they told us we were heading into an Ice Age. And the temperature hit 88 on April 13 1977 and no one thought anything of it. That Ice Age was still coming.

Now we’ve hit 90 on April 13 2023 — and that’s proof positive that Global Warming is here and we’re all going to die.

Well, it must be global warming. (sarcasm)

In addition, since this is happening in New York, center of the media universe, this magnifies the message, because the members of the media are personally experiencing it.

(more sarcasm)

These past few months it's been colder than normal here on Los Angeles's westside, and foggy along the coast.

Fog all day today, with a high of 58 degrees.

Was more like 1971. By 77 the author of that paper had recanted and said they were wrong.

So now we’re back in the 1970s? Riots, Blackouts, Looting, Son of Sam, Inflation, Bankruptcies, Energy Crisis, Layoffs, Cold War. Hostage Crisis to come?

The government has been trying for 60 years to find a demon that will put them in full control of the USA.

They have it now with idiots like you.

The Maldives have been underwater for years, or NOT.
