Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., was roasted online after she tweeted Monday evening that the Earth broke a record for hottest day in 120,000 years.

Omar, who used the tweet to call for a “climate emergency” declaration, added that the record for hottest day ever was broken on three separate days.

However, Omar’s tweet was met with skepticism and was tagged with a Twitter community note casting doubt on the claim.

“What was the temperature of the globe at 12pm GMT on July 1st, 116,539 BC?” former White House adviser Stephen Miller responded.

“Is this satire?” added Republican Utah Senate candidate Trent Staggs, the current mayor of Riverton, Utah.

Brought home a 13 July 1936 newspaper from a Minnesota family reunion last weekend. The headline: “NEW HEAT RECORD SET FOR DULUTH, 102.2”.

Yeah, I remember it was a hot day that day my tribe crossed the Bering Strait - we were in a bind because the U-Haul trailer had slipped a skid (wheels didn't get invented until next year) and the mastodon in harness (we hadn't domesticated oxen yet) were getting cranky as all git out. "Ilhan," I sez, "how about untangling from yer brother and giving us a hand out here? Or, like, get a room at the next Motel 1?" "Too busy taking the temperature, Drill," she sez and I hear giggling in the background. "Someday science will thank me."

Well, that's how I remember it, anyhows...

Meteorologist Bigfoot said it.

LOL--I'd be curious to know if he grunted the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius.

““NEW HEAT RECORD SET FOR DULUTH, 102.2””

Ambleeance (ambulance)

Way back when....

Let’s get Dianne Feinstein and Biden in here and ask them “Well, was it true back then? Not as hot then? When you were kids.”

she’s just upset about the fried mullahs in Iran, as contrasted to the Israeli’s (arabs and jews) who are nicely chilled by modern A/C
