Whats funny is i often see extreme high temp records from the late 1800s and well before the media went nuts about temps. they never seem o do a story about the fact so many high temp records are well before the junk science trend to blame iton global warming.
They also conveniently forget the mid to late 70s when all the major media freakout stories were that we were all going to die and be buried in another ice age.
All weather stories from big media is about establishing and advancing more socialist control over people.
