If you have a rational, fact-based argument for your position, you lay the facts out and most people come to the same conclusion.
If, on the other hand, you’re pushing a half-baked theory…
…you yell at the top of your lungs to make your point.
So it is with climate change.
They cook the books. They manipulate facts to fit the theory. They fudge measurements. And they make outrageous claims.
The earth just broke the record for the hottest day in 120,000 years. In fact, we broke in on three separate days.
National climate emergency now.

Hottest day in 120,000 years?
What are they smoking — and is it carbon-free?
Somehow, I don’t think we had super-accurate thermometers 120,000 years ago. Oh, and wait, Neanderthals still wandered around with us. It’s way, way, pre-history.
And yet Ilhan Omar is confident that this summer’s temperatures are the highest in 120,000 years.
As is Jamaal Bowman…
Last week we broke the record for the hottest day on Earth — THREE TIMES!
We need to declare a climate emergency now so we can make bold investments and take action to fight the climate crisis and protect the future of our planet and our kids.

Reality is that there are several years — within the last 100 so we can be pretty confident that there were actual thermometers available — hotter than this one.
The five hottest July 20ths in the US were 1934, 1901, 1930, 1932 and 1925, when close to half of the country was over 95F (35C.) Recent years have been closer to one-fifth#ClimateScam pic.twitter.com/8SxCaAyZ0B

BTW, Mr. Heller doesn’t yell. He just presents facts.
