It's helpful to remember climate change commentators live by two rules: First, everything is linked to climate change.
The spate of broken high-temperature records is likewise completely unsurprising.
With 151 years of data for Seattle any given day represents 0.7 percent of the record for that particular date, meaning that every day there's a one-in-151 chance of setting a new record high or low for that date, and every year will see a 0.7 percent likelihood of setting new record highs or lows.
According to the University of Washington, the hottest temperature recorded in the state was 118 degrees Fahrenheit.
The university lists other extreme weather events and their dates, including lowest temperatures in 1968, record rainfall in 1986, record snowfall in 1994, maximum snow depth in 1956, etc.
These weather extremes don't suggest a pattern, although perhaps another 200 years of record gathering might provide a degree of statistical certainty.
California's early photographic record would shock current Californians.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
