Iran Heat Index, Washington Post Global Warming Narrative
Reports of a 165-degree heat index in an Iranian city are criticized as sensationalist headlines designed to push global warming narratives. The Washington Post and British newspapers like The Independent are cited for using subjective "feels like" numbers rather than actual temperatures. Historical data from July 8, 2003, in Saudi Arabia is referenced to show that current heat index figures are not unprecedented.

00:00 Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak It's Sunday August 2nd 2015 time once again for your Gizmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 744 This is no agenda Jane Helm 15 plus 18 and counting once again in a blue moon. And broadcasting live from the capital of the drone star state here in FEMA region 6 in the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from northern Silicon Valley where at least in this neck of the woods there is no golden dome... Oh! I'm sorry heat dome HEAT DOME! It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! Was this a Freudian slip?
00:37 Golden what? Golden dome. Oh, golden dome okay yes. Tribute to every bald guy listening to this show. Stupidest stupidest story that was just retweeted and copied the smart people here Molly Wood on Facebook post a link to this story and her comment is oh dot my dot God dot people It was 112 degrees. It happens in Texas all the time. Actually, we had some one of our listeners I guess in the area had the temperature at 91. What here? Where? In Iran Oh really
01:21 So this story got incredible legs, which really shows how people do not read. They just see a headline and oh boy I better retweet this! This is crazy must be global warming. What was the headline? 165 degrees? 164, 165... 90 degrees Celsius or something outrageous. Yeah Washington Post- And it was in The Independent It was in all these British newspapers But Washington Post John, Washington Post Here, headline. Iran city hit suffocating... Now they did it properly heat index of 165 degrees. It doesn't mean anything! Of course not! They say 90% humidity makes it feel like 165 but we have that in Texas all the time We don't speak of a heat dome? Heat index
02:11 And that's just a made-up number. This is becoming more, I think along with the global warming thing... this is becoming thematic and we first noticed it with the earthquake. Oh what do you mean? With the numbers on the earthquake? Yeah they stopped using the Richter scale and came up with this kind of vague numbering system. Yeah the numbering system which allows them to make the number much higher because the Richter scale is logarithmic so the difference between an 8 and a 9 is vast, vast. And this I think... The criteria is if stuff shakes off the wall you know then it's a 6. It's all
02:58 Subjective. Yeah, yeah. But it works! The Argus-Heathing is subjective. We have moved to a society of subjective analysis which is useless Yes yes it is I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say either, i just think it's an observation that can be made and everybody just all freaks out about the craziest stuff. Apparently Mimi is spending all her time on Facebook arguing about this particularly. Hopefully she saying its bull crap that would be... Oh no she spotted it as bull crap right away and found it was annoying when I found it almost insulting
03:41 These guys, they're tricky. The way they wrote these stories was designed to trick me." I'm just reading from the Washington Post and they go into a lot of depth and have got a lot of indented things which people don't read that although there are no official records 178 degrees 81 degrees Celsius is the highest known heat index ever attained which was observed in Daraan Saudi Arabia on July 8 2003 so it's not even a record for the heat index In 2003. Oh man, yeah it's sad. Well there was a couple of things because we do have a heat wave going on in the United States and there is one story that kind of got my attention which is the let's see what would be the title of this clip
