No matter how often journalists repeat the lie that summers are becoming more extreme in the U.S., it doesn’t make their claims true.
So, I’ll post this chart again.
I’ll post this as many times as I need to this summer until it resonates. Study it and stare at it until your eyes fall out of their sockets. And, when they do, finger them back into your skull and study this some more until it is burned into your retinas. 
This plot shows the average number of days per year with daily maximum temperatures ≥95°, ≥100° and ≥105° per USHCN station since 1895. 
The trend is down. 
You will not see this reported anywhere in the press. I guarantee it. The extremes don’t increase at the same rate that the background warming does. Extremes are a reflection of the bounds of natural variability. Trends don’t create extremes.
There is also no such thing as “climate-fueled heat.” That’s media-spun BS. The climate is not a fuel. Local environmental conditions at the time of occurrence are. That’s called “weather.” Stop confusing the two concepts.
Thanks for coming to my science lecture.
