Enjoy the weather, don't predict apocalypse
To the Editor:
Can you believe this heat? Of course, you can. You have lived through summer before. Some are hotter than others and some are wetter than others. Why is the weather on the National News every day declaring gloom and doom? Locally Channel 27 from Harrisburg has compared this heat wave to record heat waves. Five times in the past we have had heat waves lasting 11 days in a row. Five times! Announcing this every day is not only redundant but a waste of time. It is not news! It's summer! Let me know when the record is broken.
In 1936, temperatures hit 100 degrees for 12 straight days in Springfield, Illinois, according to the National Weather Service.
Why does every major network expound on the weather? To scare you into believing we are in an emergency! To validate the push for electric vehicles. To sell you things that you don't need!
Is the trend of global warming for real? Absolutely! Are we in imminent danger? No! Weather patterns and temperatures have fluctuated for billions of years.
If you are worried about the end of the world as we know it and think we (human leadership) can control nature, we can't. Something that we can control and could kill us all on any given day is biological or Nuclear weapons. Think Covid X1000 or Iran with atom bombs on the ultimate jehad! If you like to worry, worry about that and who has their finger on our trigger! If you're worried about the environment turn off your A/C and enjoy the summer weather!
