Only NPR could possibly do something this stupid:
“Can’t Stand The Heat? Tell Us How You’re Coping With Rising Temperatures”
Recent years have been among the warmest on record, with a spike in record-high temperatures. Heat waves are also projected to become more frequent, more severe and longer.
NPR is working on a series of stories on what happens when people, animals and plants can’t cool down. We would like to know how rising temperatures are affecting your life, business or community.
Have hotter days (and nights) changed your daily routines or long-term plans? Has your business had to adapt to higher temperatures? Please fill out the form below and someone from NPR may follow up with you.
It sounds like an invitation for venting hypochondriacs who imagine they are able to detect that slight increase in temperature over the last 100 years as seen in the real world experience scaled version of NASA GISS global temperatures below:
There’s a submission form in the story link so that you can tell NPR just how you’ve adapted to those rising temperatures, especially since the El Nino is now over and cooling is expected ahead.
I’m sure WUWT readers can help NPR understand.
I just submitted these answers:
“Have you changed any daily routines or long-term plans because of higher temperatures?”
I sometimes go around naked in public, because it is too hot to wear clothes. Problem is, the local police don’t consider that to be a valid excuse. They do annoying things like point out all the clothing items they are wearing, including body armor, even on the hottest summer days. They don’t seem to understand or care that they are much younger than I am and how that makes a difference.
“How is your job or business being affected by the increased heat?”
I lost my business because of repeated arrests for appearing in public while naked.
“How is your community responding to the warming climate?”
All I know is that most of the people here don’t seem to have any empathy for the reason while I sometimes don’t wear clothes in public. Don’t they understand or care that this is not my fault, that it is the fault of evil CO2 producing corporations?
“How else are you adapting to handle the hot weather? Or, if you’re in a place that has traditionally been hot, do you have advice for those not used to extreme heat?”
I am petitioning the local sheriff to improve the air conditioning in the local jail, and also to allow me to drink frozen margaritas while in the jail. One would think he had never heard of the 8th amendment to the US Constitution.
I am now convinced, as a psychiatrist, that NPR is one massive conversion disorder.
Here in BC it’s been almost freezing at night for a week. Yesterday it snowed. I have a fire in my stove.
All this means little or nothing but so does the propaganda spewing out of NPR!
