More fun climate news ! - Jeremy Lutes - 09-22-2019
The Blob: bringing record-breaking temperatures to an island near you (or the one you're on):

(very definitely Hawai'i related)

Not another one! How many times will the climate change fearmongers/ conspiracy theorists cry "Wolf"?
I'll bet this one will make it 0 for 42.

The article describes a warmer than normal ocean temperature that affects the islands this summer. It's a condition that has been measured, charted, and illustrated (see the article), not a conspiracy:
Hawaii has been seeing the most serious effects of this heat wave. The state had its hottest summer on record, with dozens of daily temperature records falling across the islands, as well as all-time and monthly temperature records.
The unusually warm ocean waters mean Hawaii’s traditional defense against approaching tropical storms and hurricanes does not exist this year, since it is relatively low ocean temperatures that protect the islands during most eastern Pacific hurricane seasons.

Wow. I guess it's just easier to trot out your favorite right-wing talking-points than to go to all the trouble of reading the article and discovering none of your talking points are relevant to it.
But I get it - you don't want to know what it says.

fear mongering is funnnnn.. y
April 27 1931 was the hottest temp in postcontact Hawaii History... only 88 yrs ago! damn climate change!
Hottest temp on Earth was over 106 years ago!
According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the highest registered air temperature on Earth was 56.7 °C (134.1 °F) in Furnace Creek Ranch, California, located in the Death Valley desert in the United States, on July 10, 1913....
aloha, keep us entertained... w/ funny stuff, especially the lemming kine fear mongering kine...

It’s actually damn old temperature gauges and record keeping:
Trouble with Hawaiian Temperature Records
... the ‘official’ state maximum temperature record of 100° reportedly set at Pahala, Big Island, on April 27, 1931 is most certainly bogus. As one can see in the COOP form below the maximum temperature for Pahala on that day was missing and replaced with the figures 9999, meaning missing data not 100°!

1931.. I dont doubt it. The heatwave in the 40's were higher temps than they are now. Heat waves, they come they go.

It's the usual problem, people confusing weather with climate. Now, it seems understanding observational data are problematic as well.
