Summertime brings hot days at least as long as I can remember. Currently it has been hotter than normal, whatever "normal" really is. The media is panting, not from the heat, but over another chance to push the global warming narrative. After all, it's better than talking about something else that's hot - the Trump economy.
Summers were hot in the 60's. Remember when the Lovin' Spoonful sang, "Hot town, summer in the city, back of my neck getting dirty and gritty." A few years later, summers were still hot as Mungo Jerry sang, "In the summertime when the weather is hot, you can stretch right up and touch the sky."
2018 is another hot summer. Temperatures are breaking records in
California as well as across the ocean in
Iceland and the UK. As predictable as sunrise and sunset, the media has pivoted from Stormy Daniels to stormy weather, specifically global warming. EPA administrator Scott Pruitt's recent resignation is the perfect segue to stories about climate change and how Pruitt caused the current heat wave.
The British
Metro is all over the story with a headline, "Global warming to blame for worldwide record-breaking heatwave."
The Guardian echoes the concern, "This heatwave is just the start. Britain has to adapt to climate change, fast."
Comment: This is interesting in light of the fact that this same strange behavior was filmed last month in Sri Lanka:
