Taking a trip to Boise next weekend.  Can’t wait to either boil or choke on wildfire smoke 

La Crosse had their warmest June on record

I'm really surprised 2012 wasn't warmer. Guess the heat didn't really build in until late in the month into July. I remember the 4th weekend was brutal, was living in Milwaukee at the time and had a gig running camera for the Racine cable access station's coverage of their parade. Soaked my shirt through and that was with some modulation from the lake.

2012 was 11th warmest.   Only a degree cooler than this month

This will finish as the 4th warmest June on record for Chicago, and the warmest June since 1971.

also going to be the 4th warmest June here at MSN.  Only 1933, 1934 and 1873 were warmer.

Seattle actually bumped back to 104, but the Dalles is up to 118 which is a new Oregon state max.

The wind shifted from northeast to south at Quillayute WA and the temp dropped from 109 to 81 in the past hour.

Fun fact, the Dalles airport(where the temp is measured) is actually across the river in Washington so any temps there would actually be Washington records.   118 would tie the all time Washington state max.

This is all stuff that he said in a 3 hour podcast that youtube deleted.

I know that is claim is being passed around on the internet but the link i posted above has a clip from said podcast and there is at least one more clip from that episode up on youtube.   Also it looks like the podcast that hosts it never posts full episodes on youtube, just clips, so I think that's a fake story that is being drummed up to foster the "muh views are being silenced" theory.

Here is Dr. Robert Malone's bio...

https://www.rwmalonemd.com/about-us

Obviously he is legit. An internationally recognized scientist.  I just wonder why he's so concerned about the vaccine. I don't care if that is an anti vaccine site. I care about whether or not his opinion on this should be taken seriously, since he is an expert in this area and created MRNA technology.

 

That website and bio reads of someone who had a falling out with fellow researchers and now has an axe to grind.   He may have been involved in the development of mRNA technology but to claim him as the creator of it seems disingenuous.  People have been researching mRNA since the mid 70s.

Here is him also in a podcast episode claiming that the vaccines are cytotoxic(which they aren't).

I was really surprised when I came across this info this morning, since most experts think the Covid vaccines are pretty safe overall. Dr. Robert Malone, the actual inventor of MRNA technology, doesn't feel that the MRNA vaccine benefits outweight the risks for young people. He says the government isn't being transparent about the risks, since there has been no long term study and data on the MRNA vaccines. He talked about how he and other doctors warned the FDA that Covid spike protein could travel from the injection site and cause adverse events. He says because of these spike proteins, people are going to have to be watched for autoimmune issues in the 2 to 3 years after getting vaccinated -- something that should have happened in studies, but of course wasn't done because the vaccine had to be rushed. Dr. Malone also talked about how after vaccination, lipid nanoparticles settle into the ovaries, bone marrow and lymph nodes in large concentrations. Because of that he says people are going to have to be watched for things like leukemia and lymphomas in the years after vaccination. Again, something that is supposed to be watched in animal studies and long term clinical trials, but was not done because the vaccine had to be rushed. Here are a couple links...

https://fyi.com/news/unreported/mrna-vaccine-inventor-says-the-risk-of-covid-shots-for-young-adults-outweighs-the-benefits/

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/mrna-technology-covid-vaccine-lipid-nanoparticles-accumulate-ovaries/

If this was some crazy anti vaccine doctor, I would have dismissed this right away. But this is actually the doctor that invented MRNA technology that's saying this stuff. He took the vaccine himself. It seems as if he is of the opinion that Covid is such an immediate threat to people that are older and people that have underlying conditions that the vaccine is worth the risk for those groups, but it's not worth the risk for younger healthy people due to not knowing if things like autoimmune diseases and cancer could happen in the years after vaccination. I really don't know what to think about this. It's hard to believe the MRNA vaccine could really be this much of a threat to longer term health since so many experts seem very confident that it's safe, but again this is actually the doctor that created MRNA technology that's voicing these concerns. So this really makes me wonder if the spike proteins and lipid nanoparticles could pose a threat since there are no long term studies. Interested in opinions here, especially from mattb65 since he's a doctor that we respect and has added a lot of good info to this thread here. Hopefully this is nothing to be concerned about, but I just wonder why the MRNA inventor would be so concerned about this if it wasn't a legitimate concern.

the first like is from some conservative pseudo news site the second link is from Robert F Kennedy Jrs crazy anti vax website.   That's all you need to know.

Also it's been disputed if Robert Malone actually invented mRNA technology.  The only references I've seen to that have been on pseudo news sites and then it looks like Tucker Carlson picked it up.

Euro has slightly lower max totals but is definitely more spread the wealth in terms of areas getting more than 4"

We should play a game.  What will the yearly precip deficit be (or if anyone is bold enough, what will the surplus be) at ORD at the end of Tuesday, June 29?  Current deficit for the year is -7.17"

-4.36"

Fort McCoy hit 35 this morning.  Black River Falls 39.

another 90+ here.   4th of the year to go along with 2 89s.

Can see the anvils and Cb from the storms along the west coast of Michigan.  Pretty impressive.

This time last year the COVID thread dominated the sub, this year it appears the drought thread will dominate lol.  Next year it will probably be a UFO thread.

I'm banking on 45 straight days of severe weather from May 15-June 30.   That would make up for this year

touched 90 today here.  no rain in sight

Only hit 84. NWS forecast high today was a little too warm.

4 degrees above average 

99 in La Crosse today 

at least tied the record of 92 in Madison today, set back in one of the big heat years, 1934

First 90 degree day here/DVN/MLI today.  MSP is already up to 98 as of 2pm, very impressive.  A few 100 degree readings in southwest MN already.

also tagged our first 90 here.  

Got 89’d here today

Dayton overperformed to at least 87 today for those keeping score at home

jeez, 98 in INL today.  Broke their record by at least 6 degrees

93 in MKE, a new daily record

MKE hit 90.  MSN with a max of 87 so far

that's it, Hoosier has to officially pass his Mod position to NorthIllinois
