“What is that, 100 yards from the water?”

Maybe 70-80ft, but not 100yds. Closer than it looks.

Other than that, why the F do Freepers constantly quote CNN propaganda here???? Why do that? We already know they are baldfaced anti-American liars. I avoid CNN like the plague. Why do you have to ruin my day by posting their rancid tripe here?

“CNN” is what you find in the dictionary under Gaslighting. Did they not notice that polar vortex?

We quote it so we can point at it and make fun of it, as well as all the sheep out there that still believe the propaganda from our mainstream media. And it’s not just CNN - it’s ALL the mainstream media.

LOL - it’s around 10:30 a.m. and the temperature is still below freezing.

In Texas.

Screw you, CNN.

I’m always suspicious when they pick a seemingly random start date, like 1970.

It’s not 25 or 50 years ago - that’d be 1999 or 1974. What made them pick a seemingly random date 54 years ago to do their comparison?

inter temperatures increased by 3.8 degrees Fahrenheit on average since 1970

Never mind that global temperature from '40s to 1970 had been on the decline. The same doomsday wackos were claiming then that pollutants were causing the planet to cool.

Meanwhile, in our area records have been falling for the last week. Sometimes by double digits. February '21 was a record breaker, the big one was Februrary of '11.

Not buying the crap, never have. After teh exposure of East Anglia a few years back only a fool would believe climate "scientists". BTW, what ever happened to all those weather stations that were positioned in non-urban and non-heat island locations. They were put up after someone noticed that many traditional urban reporting locations were surrounded by concrete and asphalt. I wonder if the natural area stations are posing numbers from an inconvenient truth?

It sounds like the position of weather stations is an issue.

I recall that when I lived in Chicago years ago, if a new record was set, the weatherman would frequently note that the official weather station was now at O’Hare, and that’s why a new official record was set because of the location of the weather station having changed.

If the official location of weather stations in many places has changed, that would account for a lot of the discrepancies we’re seeing.

” Winters in the fastest-warming cities have warmed by as much as 7 degrees.”

The urban heat-island effect has been well known for a long time. Doesn’t CNN know about this? Or are they just pretending not to know? Ignorant or misleading?

Come back to me with rural temperature measures that have not been corrupted by sidewalks, parking lots, etc.
