You can't take the number outside of its context. We know the earth is warming, that's not up for contention anymore. When you hit a 50 year record high temperature, the implication is that it's only going to get hotter.

It's not "doom and gloom because it hit 96F"

It's "doom and gloom because it hit 96F and it's only gonna get hotter"

Except that just like the Air Force’s sunspot count, which is so blatantly false that NASA doesn’t even bother trying to get their own numbers to match up — the NOAA has been using statistical manipulation and outright fraud to create the appearance of global warming.
I honestly don't know what to do when people like you exist that confidently refute the scientific consensus based on whatever they read online.

You're why I think the world is doomed. We can't fix climate change when there's a bunch of people who want to be contrarians so bad they're willing to die over it.

Remember when people like you said the exact same thing with the exact same confidence, except it was global cooling?
No, I don't, because I never said that, because there was never scientific consensus around that. Anyway, I hope you live long enough to see the world burn.
Indeed, I do hope so. I have my poolside lounge chair ready.
