The Climate Jerk-Around: "Record High"

 We're getting into That Season.  DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM!!!!! climate crapola with "Record High" temperatures.

Statistically?  It's all BS.  Or, more elegantly phrased:

 ...To those who have made climate change a foundational belief of their faith system, any heat wave is indisputable proof that global warming is real. But it’s not. Instead, it’s normal weather repackaged as climate propaganda, exploiting the statistical ignorance of the target audience, as well as that of the media pushing the climate scare....

OK.  Stats were a low-point of my sashay through HS education.  So....

...In the United States, temperature records date back about 100 to 140 years, depending on location. It would be fair to say that approximately 120 years is the typical historical database for a location’s temperature data. For each station, there is a record-high temperature for each day of the year, and also a record-low temperature for each day of the year. With 365 record-high temperatures for each station, spread over 120 years, that means that each station should record about three record-high temperatures each year, with a normal distribution. If there are fewer than three record highs being recorded in a given year, that would actually be below average.

NOAA monitors a domestic database of about 15,000 weather stations across the U.S. Therefore, with each of these 15,000 weather stations expected to have, on average, three record-high temperature readings per year, there should be approximately 45,000 documented daily high-temperature records per year in the United States alone.

Beyond record daily highs, we also periodically hear the terrifying reports of an “all-time highest temperature ever” being recorded for a given location. It sounds terrifying when climate alarmists are reporting it, but again, that is hysterics, not statistics or probability. With 15,000 weather stations divided by 120 years, there should be, on average, about 125 stations in the U.S. reporting their all-time record-high temperatures each and every year....

Oh.

So it will be hot during the summer, sometimes--in some places--REALLY hot.  So do what Sly Stone says!
