unscientific claptrap.
I lived in Alabama a few years in the mid-60s and visited Florida often. You know something? They BOTH got pretty hot. Regularly.
However, writing from Arizona (my home state since 1970), the only thing that makes Arizona hotter now is “concrete & asphalt”! If I visit the city I grew up in, it IS hotter. But 20 miles away, the summers are just like they were in 1970.
So yeah...”unscientific claptrap”. If you collect bad data, you get bad results. And if the 45 years since I got a degree in biology have taught me anything, it is that “scientists” get the results they are paid to get.
REAL scientists don’t, but they aren’t even 10% of what passes for scientists now!
