The Dust Bowl of the 1930s and 1980 stand out as so exceptionally hot, many decades ago, that no one would say without laughing that the recent July in Texas was unprecedented.
I guess politicizing the weather means we have to suspend disbelief and erase the past.
“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.” Orwell – 1984.
The “cut off graph” game variety of cherry picking.

The highest temperature recorded for North America was 134 deg F, in 1913, in Death Valley, California. I crossed Death Valley in 1991 at 126 deg F. Now they panic for 126 in Death Valley. I wonder if they consider why they call it “Death Valley”?
“The Dust Bowl of the 1930s and 1980 stand out as so exceptionally hot, many decades ago, that no one would say without laughing that the recent July in Texas was unprecedented.”
Of course the Dust Bowl wouldn’t have happened if the high plains hadn’t been plowed during hot, dry weather. It shouldn’t have been plowed at all. The natural or Indian set burning would have caused no damage (beyond the short term chasing animals away) to the land.
“Of course the Dust Bowl wouldn’t have happened if the high plains hadn’t been plowed during hot, dry weather.”
Well, sort of true (plowing in a manner facilitating wind erosion also occurred outside of ‘hot, dry weather’), but only for the dust aspect. AFAIK, there is no scientific data that the plowing was the cause of the relatively hot weather that occurred in the 1930’s.

The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl – by Timothy Egan
I do believe Joseph Zorin’s comment to which I responded was posted in the context of the above article’s topic of “heat waves” and its third full paragraph that starts with:

“Beyond the Hundredth Meridian”
JOHN WESLEY POWELL AND THE SECOND OPENING OF THE WEST
By Wallace Stegner
Roughly: the first half deals with Powell’s trip down the Colorado River; the second half his fight with Congress to map those western lands and specify just where farming would be permitted. That was the start of the US Geological Survey.
He had seen the western lands and could visualize what would happen if that area was settled by farmers. His vision became reality in the mid 1930’s.

You grossly overestimate their ability to be embarrassed.
From the WaPo’s article title cited in the above article: “Heat waves in the U.S., Europe ‘virtually impossible’ without climate change . . .”
Hmmm . . . I do believe the very definition of “climate change” as used by alarmists everywhere has the claimed ultimate result being the surface warming of Earth.
So, rewording that title accordingly, it would read: “Heat waves in the U.S., Europe ‘virtually impossible’ without warming of Earth . . .”
Apologies for the rough days. Buuut, it’s not fixed. All of the text in the story looks like it’s from you, but going to X, it looks like it’s all from Dr. Maue. You don’t typically do that. Others might be confused.
The narrative adjustments and selective snapshots of temperatures by the climate emergency shills is doing their lost cause no good at all – like the idiots gluing themselves to roads, it simply finds increasing ridicule among the masses
Operation Climate Tax is in full swing, it’s nut zero policies are at best engineeringly incompetent, peddled by increasingly visible hypocrites who never lead by example, therefore losing the room
Battery cars, heat pumps, wind & solar farms and smart meters are visibly hypocritical, rich elitist solutions to a problem that hasn’t been proven empirically to actually exist outside the heads of those who are financially benefitting from it and the masses, I am very confident, will not be coerced into adopting them
Sure hope you’re right about that, but I have no confidence in “the masses” having any ability whatsoever to use their brains to see through media propaganda.
I looked average summer temperature trends in my area. I looked at a rural station in my area and compared to the airport’s record. Here are my results. Summer has been cooling since the early 2000s.
Here’s more data. The high summer maximum reached every year. I don’t expect the high to be tied or broken into Aug and Sep. It’s been 21 years since the record high was set and there’s also been a declining trend.
The yearly 0.0136 Deg C of warming atmosphere that UAH reports pales in comparison to the 1.5 – 2.5 Deg C yearly warming that an El Nino can produce?
With statements like this appearing in the Main Stream News, it’s no wonder why journalists avoid math classes in college like the plague.

WAPO, thank you so much for that pearl of wisdom.
I have to say that “virtually impossible” doesn’t sound very scientific. What scale of virtuality are they using?
Only AI knows for sure, residing in a virtual world of course.
It’s a form of virtual reality. It only exists inside computers.
Right next to all the bytes regarding the climate hoax.
Is there a reference to Ryan Maue here that I don’t see?
Or am I to know there was a post by Ryan about

Or what?

It gets hot in the summer time … who knew!
Cool, wet and miserable July here in NE Wales. Where is summer?
I looked average summer temperature trends in my area. I looked at a rural station in my area and compared to the airport’s record. Here are my results. Summer has been cooling since the early 2000s.
Interesting data Walter….thanks for sharing
tempted to go get my Davis data trend and compare with the local airport!
Here’s more data. The high summer maximum reached every year. I don’t expect the high to be tied or broken into Aug and Sep. It’s been 21 years since the record high was set and there’s also been a declining trend.
Yep, there is not much warming at sites that have remained relatively pristine and unaffected by urban development.
Looks like the airport data has been adjusted by NOAA, or MetO or BOM or MSC (Canada’s Meteorological Service)
No the airport readings have been the exact same. But the adjustments go towards NOAA’s Climate at a Glance website for individual cities. They homogenized the data. I know the airport data pretty well and I can see the airport readings biasing the data upward. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/climate-at-a-glance/city/time-series/USW00024127/tavg/1/5/1895-2023?base_prd=true&begbaseyear=1991&endbaseyear=2020

Difficult to embarrass those with no shame.
They deliberately remove everything except CO2 from the models, then confidently declare that only CO2 can explain their results.
elnino is not a cause of hot weather it is a Pattern of temperatures. its an effect not a cause
Ahh, the joys of ambiguous terms. You seem to be referring to the South American phenomenon.
What’s up with the weird capitalization and punctuation?

This is the problem with the whole “thesis” system of masters and doctorate degrees.
