In some parts of the US (mainly the Northeast), temperatures reached up to 100 degrees and with the humidity it felt like 110. The heat forced me to stay inside and I got a chance to watch some quality news on the 24-hour networks. And while I was watching, I realized no one was saying anything about how the heat proved climate change or global warming. Of course, this statement has no scientific merit at all but, in the same token, it didn't stop anyone from saying the blizzard earlier in the year debunked the theory.
If you remember there were countless comments and reports, from Fox News in particular, about how global warming and/or climate change is not a legitimate theory because it snowed in January. Now that it's July and it's hot out, you'd think there would be some report about how it proves global warming and/or climate change. I'm assuming that the people at Fox News are praying no other news outlet will pick up on this. But they won't because other news outlets know better than to make outrageous and uninformed claims about things they know nothing about.
By the logic of Fox News, today's 100 degree weather proves global warming. And by normal logic, it proves that Fox News is an embarrassment to journalism.
