Watts Up With That?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our friend Steve Hayward over at Powerline Blog<\/a> gave me permission to reprint this. It\u2019s weather deja vu all over again<\/em>. These familiar headlines could just as well be happening today, excpet back then it was reported as weather, not climate. \u2013 Anthony<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHITHER THE WEATHER?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scenes out of Lahaina on Maui are horrific, but naturally the climate cult is rushing to say the inferno that engulfed the town is yet more proof of climate change, and hand over your car keys and gas stoves now. \u201cYes, I Blame the Climate Crisis for the Horrors on Maui<\/a>,<\/strong>\u201d says a writer in that premier science journal\u00a0Esquire<\/em>. Never mind that Hawaiian officials have been warning for years that overgrowth of non-native grasses on the dry side of Maui and other Hawaiian islands was creating a severe wildfire risk. (For an antidote to the madness, see \u201cStop claiming that fires in Canada, Greece, and now Maui are due to climate change<\/a>.\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of the summer\u2019s news has been about heat waves, which are also said to be proof of climate change, even though very few record high temperatures were broken this summer. Heat waves have always been big news for the media, but decades ago no one thought to blame them on human sin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is worth following a fellow named\u00a0Don Penim<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter. Mr. Penim appears to have sufficient leisure time on his hands to scour old newspaper archives for articles on heat waves and extreme weather events, and he also turned up headlines from a few decades ago to remind us that wildfires are not unusual for Hawaii:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s note a few others from Mr. Penim\u2019s archive while we\u2019re here\u2014note the dates of most of these stories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And never forget these 1970s-era gems of climate prediction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could go on. Mr. Penim has lots more. \u00a0What about recent high temps? Here are some of the official temperature records for places suffering from extreme climate change in recent weeks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
