CBS News Pushes NOAA’s Latest Propaganda

CBS News’ story covering the Biden administration’s new U.S Climate Normals report says government data shows the United States is warming at an unusually rapid rate due to human-induced climate change, causing more frequent and severe extreme weather events. This story, as with the government report it is based upon, is long on alarm but short on facts.
Data from the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) show temperatures in the United States aren’t rising at an unusually rapid rate.
In addition, incidences of extreme weather events are neither more frequent nor more severe than in the past. From CBS News:
“Just a quick glance at the new U.S. Climate Normals maps published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on Tuesday is enough for most climate scientists to say, ‘I told you so,’” writes CBS in an article, titled “NOAA’s “new normal” climate report is anything but normal.”
“While the new normals are just 10 years removed from the earlier set, the changes are still significant. In that time, the nation has warmed an average of half a degree Fahrenheit,” CBS continues. “That may not sound like much, but small changes in the normals mean much larger changes in the extremes like extremes like heat waves, droughts, wildfires, floods, and hurricanes.”
NOAA’s new report may claim temperatures are rising across the United States, and the weather is getting more extreme, but its own data and data from the IPCC say otherwise.
As discussed in Climate at a Glance: Temperatures, contrary to NOAA’s claim that temperatures are rising rapidly, thermometer readings in the United States report current temperatures are similar to the temperatures recorded 80 years ago.
Also, NOAA’s own U.S. Climate Reference Network, an extremely accurate network of temperature stations throughout the United States requiring no corrective adjustments, shows no significant warming has occurred in the United States since it was established in 2005.
Data from the IPCC and NOAA also demonstrate there has been no measurable increase in the number or severity of droughts, hurricanes or floods, since the early part of the 19th century.
Also, data from the IPCC and NOAA show the incidences of heatwaves [see the figure below], and wildfires in the United States and globally have actually declined during the recent period of modest warming.
Had CBS compared the publicly available data against the alarming soundbites contained in the Biden administration’s new U.S. Climate Normals report, it could have easily discovered the report misrepresents what data show.
A news organization committed to pursuing the truth, wherever it leads, would have looked beneath the surface of the report at the underlying data.
Such an investigation would have revealed temperatures aren’t rising unnaturally, and weather extremes aren’t increasing.
That’s the good news CBS should have reported.

Been waiting over 30 years for the earth to melt according to the green slime of global warmers. This spring has been colder than last spring which was cooler than the year before that. Warming trend? Maybe on Mercury.

They are using climate change and a manufactured famine to accomplish their goals. This video outlines shipping and farming problems that aren’t being talked about. People may reach a different conclusion, but I think its manufactured, and its sick.

Well said Wisenox. I listened to the whole podcast and it certainly clarified for me the reasons for things that are going on in my own country, New Zealand. Even though we rely here on the export of food of all types as our major income earner our farmers are under sustained attack from the communist wing of our government.

Yeah, and I think its a bit much of a coincidence that droughts are happening where food should be growing, while aluminum is being sprayed everywhere.

Hi Guys,
Your comments seem to ignore the fundamental SCIENTIFIC ISSUE, which I consider to be: What was going on during the decade of the 30s??? Lakes did not go dry during a year or two. Or did they??? I do not know what weather was occurring in the rest of the world except that there was a world-wide economic depression. This is recent history relative to little more than thousands of years ago when there were glaciers over the same lakes.
Have a good day, Jerry

This is a good visual reference. You can view by month and year:

Would be interesting to see if there is a correlation with atmospheric aluminum use.

“The desire to experiment with the skies
When quiet discussions about climate change erupted in the 1960’s, scientists began tossing around ideas to combat global warming. By introducing sunlight-reflecting particles into the atmosphere, they could increase reflectivity slightly, counteracting heat-trapping gases, and thereby cooling the planet.”

Side note, in the 50s, Pierre Trudeau (Justin’s father) funded the MIT study where the idea of using pollution, famine, and climate change was concocted as a reason to subjugate humanity. Their results were let out in the 70s.
In the link above this reply, you can look at the climate by year. For whatever its worth, you can see how the hot spot begins in Antarctica (1970 vs 1980). Over the years, it spreads out from the poles.
Could this be from atmospheric and rocketry aluminum use increases? Or, maybe even purposely done to falsely build a phony change in climate? Maybe, no connection?
