Chicago getting crushed 

100.1 for the high, 85 now and breezy with some drizzle 

Little heat burst now, back up to 99.5. This bbq is going to suck 

Montauk is 94. Hot sand 

JFK and LGA both hit 100. Wonder the last time both of those sites both hit 100 on back to back days

Farmingdale airport reporting 101 

Wow. 100 my max here. South shore hotter today 

Today definitely cooler than yesterday 

100

Seems a bit warmer south of here today with the slight northerly component to the wind

Up to 97 and now it’s getting uncomfortable even in the shade 

95 here as well. 

94/71

Potentially hottest day on record for some areas? 

Low of 76 here. Already back to 93. Wild

That's a good point, but the door swings both ways here.  Repeating lies or gross exaggerations enough, people will start believing it.  This results in the bandwagon fallacy (everyone is saying it, so it *must* be true!).

Being skeptical is an invaluable tool.  Not enough ppl IMHO use it, or more specifically, apply/handle it in the best (most balanced) way.  So we often end up w/ the false dichotomy logical fallacy, believe everything or don't believe anything.  Neither is good.

How one presents data is paramount.  Just posting random tidbits lacking detail or sources that more and more have AI-generated slop are rife these days and deserve to be called out.  If one can recognize crap/nonsense/slop better, one will make better decisions and avoid being duped/scammed/brainwashed.

There is one constant and fundamental issue that that makes the warming issue very enticing politically, socially, and economically.  Touting the end of the world or civilization as we know it -- can you think of anything else more urgent and absolute than that to society?  So riding that narrative sells easily and instills deep psychological fear in the population.  In such a state, they can be molded/manipulated better.  Claims the world is going to end due to AGW fits this category, and is why high skepticism and push back exists, b/c it is not so much about the science anymore, it is more about ideology/agenda/control.

Having problems in general sense, real or imagined, unfortunately has been realized and abused in recent decades that there is enormous power and profit having such.  Hence, where we are today.  Nothing is scaled or put into proper context/perspective anymore.  It's always "the worst ever" or "it was never like this before" or some variant.

Being overly skeptical also makes people seem like crack pot conspiracy theorists. It’s necessary to think. But when all people do is whine and complain about the media, etc, eventually they come across as nuts. 

79 now and beautiful 

Beautiful breeze now and down to 87. 

104 for LGA and 102 for JFK is wild. What’s the all time record high for LGA?

How do scientists explicitly account for urban heat when measuring Earth's global temperature to ensure that local heat islands do not skew data on global climate trends?

Why are we bending over backward. The heat island is part of man made warming. It exists. It’s real and part of our warming world

101.5 my high

Same. Down to 97 after the sea breeze.
