Record-Breaking Climate Bull**** from Mainstream Media
The usual criminals in the press are claiming record-breaking heat in the Arctic and in Texas.
The Texas heatwave hasn’t even been in the ballpark of the 1980 heatwave, when the Dallas/Fort Worth area had 51 consecutive days over 100 degrees, averaged 105 degrees, and topped out at 119 degrees on June 26, 1980.
The number of 100 degree days in the Dallas/Fort Worth area has been average for June and July (nine days) so far. The frequency of 100-degree days has declined sharply since the 1950s when over 100 degrees was typical.
As far as the Arctic is concerned, temperatures near the North Pole have been consistently below normal for the past two months.

Australia’s worst heatwave occurred during January 1896.
Arizona also had their record heatwave that year, with Parker, Ariz., over 120 degrees every day from June 11 to June 17.
