The Roanoke Slant

-
Roanoke Times, 7-9-10, Pg 5 & 7: Study says 100 degree heat waves are likely to increase and thousands of people may die – (and it’s your fault for using hydro-carbon fuels and making CO2!).
-
During one of the longest and coldest periods in the Roanoke area, with two months of continuous snow cover and subfreezing temperatures, the Roanoke Times quoted their sources that assured us that “there’s no connection between short term weather and climate”. But now the reason we're having some hot summer days is proof of the Gore Global Warming CO2 hypothesis.
-
Back on Pg 7 there’s some interesting Roanoke record temperature data:
Aug 5, 1930: Roanoke record high: 105 degrees
June 24, 1930 to Sept 3 1930: 14 days of 100+ degrees
July 10, 1936: Roanoke matched the record high again: 105 degrees

How do our record high temperatures track against CO2?

It would also be of interest to reflect on the amount of people, buildings, concrete, blacktop, vehicles and I-581 that have been added to Roanoke since 1930. That begs the question: shouldn't it be a lot hotter now than in 1930?
-
It would be helpful if the liberal media who are promoting the Alarmist-Gore-IPCC-Hypothesis would stop publishing junk-science and stick to the facts and publish all this type data in the historical perspective that we are in a 250 year warming cycle of unknown cause, that started at the end of the little ice age in 1750, and that there is significant amounts of natural variability locally and globally.
Stop propagating the patently false alarmist hype that every daily weather event is a direct result of man-kinds activity. Even the IPCC rejects that tripe!
