7-29-25 - 7am - It's Hot In Tampa? and The Next Denver Meat Out Project

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Michael, the first rule of the screen club. That must
be regarding yesterday's story about screaming at the beach the
headline yesterday at WFLA Channel eight, Tumpa, Florida, one hundred

(00:28):
degrees for the first time ever at the airport.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Hostly hot day out there, and today was one for
the history books. Meteorologist Rebecca Barry joins us. Now, Rebecca,
we broke a major milestone today for the first time ever.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
That's right, you can say you were here when Tampa
Bay was the hottest it's ever been, at least at
the airport location. And so at the Tampa Airport, our
weather sinceor there hit one hundred degrees for the first time.
So we have set an all time record high, the
hottest we've ever seen at that location, and it was
today right after three point thirty. Now, it did hover
around ninety nine for a lot of the afternoon, but

(01:06):
when we finally hit that one hundred degree market was
the first time that we've seen that occur. So our
record for today was ninety seven. Obviously we broke that.
So we have a new high temperature record for today
of one hundred degrees. We also have that all time
high temperature record. When we were sitting at ninety nine,
I was writing a web article about how this was
only the third time we'd hit ninety nine degrees, and

(01:26):
so that was once in twenty twenty and once in
nineteen eighty five. So we were already looking at record
tying heat.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
But then we went ahead.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
And broke that record of one hundred degrees. Now, other areas,
especially like Ruskin, especially like Lakeland, has hit one hundred
degrees several times, but it's kind of hard for the
airport to hit at one hundred because of the sea breeze.
And it was a battle of the sea breeze. In
our southeasterly winds, it would go down to ninety seven.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
And back up to ninety nine.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
We're currently sitting at ninety six at the airport. We're
well into the mid to upper nineties over a lot
of our inland locations, but upper eighties for the coastline.
It feels like temperature is what was danger hot out
there today, and it's still very hot in those triple
digits as far as it feels like temperatures go. We
have the heat dome and the dry air to think
for those unusually record breaking temperatures, that we are going

(02:11):
to continue to see the hot conditions across the southeast
for the next couple of days. I'll track when the
cool down is on the way coming up.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
She's gonna track when the cool downs coming up. It
was ae hundred degrees. Almost instantaneously, the National Weather Service
rolled out celebratory graphics and a whole bunch of social
media posts. Headlines echoed across national outlets. Climate activists called

(02:42):
it a warning, a wake up call, another undeniable, unequivocal
sign that the climate crisis is accelerating. I'm looking at
Noah put out issue July twenty seven, Tampa Bay at
three poin thirty all time record high set records began

(03:03):
April first, eighteen ninety. Tampa broke the all time record
high temperature record today one one hundred degrees fahrenheit exclamation point.
But as usual, did anybody ever stop and ask the question,
how and where and why did you measure this temperature? Yeah,
you and I have seen the scam before. We've actually

(03:24):
seen this scam right here in Colorado. Manufactured records based
on poorly located weather stations, amplified by the urban heat
island effect, you know, maybe perhaps surrounded by something called
a tarmac concrete internal combustion engines. You know, last year

(03:52):
there was an article I read about Las Vegas record
heat where temperatures reached one hundred twenty degrees fahrenheit. No,
not out in the desert, stupid, but at Harry Reid
International Airport, where the measuring station sits right next to

(04:14):
taxi aircraft. Yeah. Now, the exact same pattern has played
out here. Tampas supposed to one hundred degree fahrenheit record
is not a warning sign from the sky. It's not
the you know, the gods of nature telling us all.
You got to stop eating meat, which we're going to
talk about in a minute. You got to stop eating meat.

(04:35):
You got to stop stop driving those internal combustion engines.
You got to start driving electric vehicles. You got to
turn off your air conditioner, you got to quit you know,
turn off your lights, turn off everything because you're causing
and in fact, and another related story, just hang on,
we'll get to it in a minute. Denver has decided
that the apocalypse is so imminent and so bad that

(04:58):
they've started. Now Denver, which is broke right, laying off
workers which is fine with me, But laying off workers,
they don't have any money, and yet they're spending millions
of dollars on an advertised I'm sorry advertising, a propaganda campaign.

(05:19):
All of this is the predictable outcome of poor sighting,
jet exhaust and an a media machine that is desperate
for proof that the planet is collapsing. There's no clear
relationship between greenhouse gas concentrations and extreme heat. We've gone

(05:40):
through that numerous times in this program. In fact, the
worst heat waves in US history occurred nearly a century ago,
including the nineteen thirty six dust Bowl, when CO two
levels were around about three hundred and ten parts per million.
The US annual heat wave index, let's go from eighteen

(06:02):
ninety five to twenty twenty one. Oh, it's pretty stable.
There's there are heat waves that There's one in nineteen hundred,
there was one in in the mid nineteen fifties. There
was one in early nineteen eighty, which is kind of
ey because I thought that's when global cooling was occurring.
There was one in nineteen ninety, then there was one
in twenty ten. But all of those on an index

(06:25):
of say zero to one point five. This comes from
Let's see, where did I give this data? This comes
from global change dot gov. The data source is from
US Climate Change Science Program. In two thousand and eight,

(06:48):
the heat wave of nineteen thirty, all the other heat
waves were about zero point three. The heat waves during
the dust Bowl nineteen thirty, to say, let's just say
nineteen four spiked all the way up to one point three.
Since nineteen thirty, nothing has come close to that whatsoever.

(07:10):
And then there's the inconvenient truth, which I love using
that phrase to throw it right back in al Gore's face,
that modern infrastructure powered by fossil fuels has not only
allowed us to endure heat. You know, I get this.
You know, I'm just mining my own business line. Yesterday afternoon,

(07:33):
I decided, you know, it's time to go out and
get the mail. Nesk, go oud and see what kind
of junks in the mailbox today. So I go out
and I come back and there's a text message from
my producer. I think, oh, my gosh, what's wrong.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
It's scorching hot outside today.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Were you even outside or were you just trying to troll.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
The I really was, Oh you really were.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Outside and it was scorching hot. You did you did
you go in and collapse?

Speaker 4 (07:57):
There was a there's a beat of sweat on my
ball side, all right, figured I had to get my
pasty white ass back inside. I was gonna die.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Was it the beat of sweat or was the iced
tea dripping on your forehead as you were trying to
cool your forehead which was scorched? For sure? Yeah? You
know if that hit, I wouldn't stay out in the
sun very long if I were you right, I mean,
speaking of redhead, it's one thing to be a redhead,
but it's another thing to be red skin like, you know,
like burnt. Yeah, yeah, I just I cautioned you. So

(08:31):
I came back into this stupid text message scorching hot outside,
which I just thought was kind of funny because I
just went outside and I thought to myself, yes, it's war,
but it's not as hot as everybody kept telling me
it was going to be. It just didn't feel as
hot as what I thought it was gonna be. You know,
I expect I was looking for scorching heat, and I
didn't find me scorching heat. Oh finding finding. We've got

(08:56):
modern infrastructure. Everything that we got that's powered by fossil fuels,
or there's manufactured by fossil fuels, all of which allows
us to endure the heat. I am sitting here in
and quite If I were honest with you right now,
I would think that Tamra set the thermometer in this
studio right now, because it's kind of damn cold in here.

(09:17):
If you want to know the truth, there's no sun
coming in this morning. Usually it's kind of warm in here.
Air Conditioning, refrigeration, reliable electricity, water pumping systems have been
our greatest defense against heat, all from fossil fuels. But
there's another factory I don't think we should ignore, and

(09:38):
that's the media distortion. It's absolutely you know, headlines often
take isolated or data that has no context whatsoever, a
data point with no context, and you present that as
some sort of global warming data. That's not science. It's propaganda.

(10:00):
I'm gonna say it's marketing, but I don't think it's marketing.
I really think it's propaganda. So let's go back to
Tampa fum moment. So we are told that yesterday was
the hottest day in the city's recorded history. But what
you're not told is that the thermometer is situated literally feet.
I'm not talking about one thousand feet, I'm talking about

(10:22):
maybe ten feet from a taxiway. You were not told
that Delta flight eighteen eighty four was sitting idling right
next to the censor during the first five minute spike
to one hundred degrees. Fairlah, I remember back in that
story from the little meteorologist telling us, how oh you know,

(10:45):
we were at ninety nine, it's spiking to go back
down in ninety seven, back up to one hundred degrees.
Do you ever think about what was going on there? Well,
you were not told that another jet past the station
at the time of the second spike, and you're certainly
not told that the temperature promptly fell once the jets

(11:07):
took off into the sky. So when you see Tampa's
name trending with phrases like record breaking heat, keep all
that context in mind, because there's a lot more going
on than the headlines and the propaganda is ever going
to admit the one hundred fahrenheit degree reading at Tampa,

(11:27):
this was on July twenty seven, was not some new
meteorological milestone. It was a product of combustion and proximity
I want you to walk through with me how this happened.
At three point thirty pm local time, the National Weather
Service station that Tampa International reported the first of two

(11:51):
one hundred degree fahrenheit readings. There's a there's a guy
that's put together a log of the readings from that
temperature sensor. This is July twenty seven to five point
thirty pm, ninety nine, one hundred and ten ninety nineteen ten.

(12:18):
The point is based on SINT timestamps. Every spike coincided
precisely with a flight, and the one that set the
record coincided precisely with Delta Flight eighteen eighty four, which
had just completed taxing and was parked just a few
feet from the temperature sensor. There is, in fact, recogoni.

(12:43):
I should see if I can download this photo and
I'll send it to you. There's an there's a satellite
image captured at Tampa International Airport that shows Delta Flight
eighteen eighty four parked directly next to the temperature sensor.
In one frame, you can clearly see the aircraft's left
engine aligned with the station. If you go to flight

(13:06):
tracking from Flight Radar twenty four, it confirms that Delta
eighteen eighty four was idle in front of the sensor
during the first temperature spike. The plane stayed parked with
engines on for more than thirty minutes and then took
off delayed. I assume it was delayed. You're sitting at

(13:27):
the end of the taxiway for thirty minutes. There's either congestion,
you're delayed, what something's going on. And then once the
flight took off, the temperature dropped. That's not a coincidence,
that's direct causation. There are additional photos that you can
find that reveal that the full exposure of the sensor
to engine heat, the tarmacing surrounding pavement, those are not

(13:51):
minor distortions. Those are all direct heat sources. A second
identical spike occurred when another aircraft just taxied right by
the same sensor. They're exhaust artifacts, if you will now.
NOAH guidelines require temperature stations to be free from artificial

(14:15):
heat sources and have to be shielded from direct exhaust
or paved or and not or and have to be
shielded from direct exhaust and paved sources. The temperature sensor
station at Tampa International violates nearly every single one of

(14:35):
those criteria. It's encircled by concrete, it's encircled by actively
used taxi ways, it is routinely subjected to aircraft exhaust.
There is no zero, meaningful comparison between that setting and
earlier ninety nine degree fahrenheit readings taking when Tampa was

(14:55):
less developed. But what about the rect Let's go back
to the record. What if that record wasn't real, What
if even that was fake. In eighteen forty eight, the
Army recorded the United States Army recorded a temperature of
one hundred degrees fahrenheit at Fort Brook, long before there

(15:19):
was any urban development around Fort Brook. If we apply
even modest corrections for urban heat island effect, the eighteen
forty eight record is clearly more severe. So we're comparing
apples to jet fueled oranges, and the illusion of warming
is purely manufactured. By contrast, this new so called record

(15:46):
was recorded on a runway with exhausts billowing nearby, and
even that does not beat the numerous ninety nine degree
fahrenheit readings that Tampa has seen in the past one
hundred years. When you look at the official chart of
the annual maximum temperatures, you'll notice something. At least I
noticed something kind of unusual. Tampa has reached ninety nine

(16:07):
degrees fahrenheit multiple times nineteen ten, nineteen eighty four, and
twenty twenty. If you take out the effects of urbanization,
all of those earlier temperature peaks almost certainly surpass the
current July twenty twenty five number. Impure atmospheric terms, more concrete,

(16:29):
more jet activity does not equal more global warming. They
just simply equal more fake records. But what's most telling
is the institutional silence. No bath the National Weather Service
flag the contamination. Not one media outlet asked how or
where the reading was taken. No agency is proposed removing

(16:53):
a clearly compromised data from the record books. That's not
an accident. That's part of establishing and maintaining a narrative.
We're told the planet is burning based on a thermometerous
place next to a jet engine, and then nobody's ever

(17:14):
held accountable for the fraud. That's not just scientific malpractice,
that's betrayal of public trust. Michael, you're forgetting the most
important thing here in Florida. It's not the heat, it's
the humidity. Yeah. In fact, did you know she was.
She made some comment about how dry it was that day,

(17:35):
and I thought, and you're bitching about that. I mean,
I'd be like, okay, it's it's like we bitch when
it gets to be Oh my god. The humidity in
Colorado is twenty two percent today and we think, oh
my god, I can't I can't breathe it. So it's
so human, so humid.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
Not to brag or anything, but what has in Japan?
I don't think it ever got below eighty percent?

Speaker 1 (17:57):
You made it up. Oh, someone's been in Ja numerous times.
It's And I was also amazed at the time of
year that you went to. That's I mean, it's it's
I understand why because things are cheaper, relatively speaking, that
time of year than say going in October or whatever.
But yeah, but I've been there in October and you

(18:21):
go up on the north side of the island in
the mountains, it's still going to be humid. Of course,
it's still going to be human. Denver's Office of Climate Action,
Sustainability and Resilience is promoting a new campaign, do More,
do Less, Do Something, say the Climate. The Denver Gazette

(18:45):
has the story. It shows a poster of the season
if I can tell where this poster is just as
courtesy City and County of Denver's Office of Climate Action,
Sustainability and Resilience. And it shows you know, two people.
It's at a bus stop. Oh look, there's a limescooter
next to the bus stop. Isn't that convenient? And this

(19:06):
happens to be a bus stop that you know that
since it's a poster and a photo taken by the
city in County of Denver, that they cleaned up the
bus stop before they took the photo. I don't see
one homeless person. I don't see any drug paraphernalia. I
don't see any trash whatsoever. The sidewalk is sparkling clean.

(19:29):
But on the two sides of the poster, are you
know some graphics of you know, some you know, nondescript
human beings, one looking to the sky and one with
a profile picture looking off into the distance. And it
says quote in the middle, I'm just one person. Really
adds up when you remember there are seven hundred and

(19:51):
sixteen thousand, five hundred and seventy seven of us eat
less meat, eat more plant based meal, vote for climate
conscious leaders. That comes from a do more list that
the mayor's administration posted as part of a campaign, A
market a propaganda campaign. I quit call you in a

(20:13):
marketing campaign. A propaganda campaign that wants people in Denver
to help them reach their climate goals. They're spending a
city that is broke is spending three million dollars on
posters and billboards. Yeah. One includes a slogan that says

(20:39):
it's the end of the world. I mean trademark violations
from electric light orchestra. I don't know. It's all part
of their blips. The city said also that eating less
meat and a host of other actions would help the
planet and protect communities. If you remember this administration, the

(21:03):
Johnston administration is not the first to promote a less
meat diet. Do you remember and think about how well
this worked out. Remember back in twenty twenty one when
Governor Polus proclaimed Meat Out Day to encourage Colorados to
consider plant based food. It kind of pissed off the ranchers.

(21:26):
Colorado's agriculture industry is the second largest economic driver. It
accounts for more than forty seven billion dollars in activity,
employees more than one hundred and ninety five thousand people.
The export of Colorado cattle as of last year, generated
nearly four and a half billion dollars, making Colorado one
of the top ten producers of beef in the entire country.

(21:50):
So here comes along. You know, they don't study history,
they don't know their history, they don't learn from their
past mistakes. Because what they're religious fanatics. All of these
congrements in the Church of the climate activists, they don't
give a rats ass that meet out. They completely backfired
on Jared Polis. They don't care about that. All they

(22:13):
care about is we got to spend some money. Can
this put up some really cool looking posters about people
doing less? Now, that stems from the argument that ranching
is somehow a major source of greenhouse gasing missions, and
that a plant based diet would ultimately mean decreasing the
world's carbon footprint. But if you're a plant based diet,

(22:36):
you've got to grow the plants. You've got to water them,
you've got to fertilize them, you have to harvest them.
You have to Once you harvest them, you have to
process them. You have to transport them. Excuse me, you
have to transport them. Once you transport them to the
manufacturing facility, which is what you should call it. They
then take whatever they've multched the plants into and then

(22:57):
they suddenly go through some process which I'm sure would
make Bobby Kennedy Junior have a heart attack. And then
they take that plant based goop and they form that
into a paddy or make it look like a t
bone steak or something. And then they what do they
do with that? Well, then they pack it. They probably
pack it in plastic, you know, styrofoam and plastic, and

(23:19):
then they pack it up and they put it on
an eighteen wheeler and they ship it all across the country.
You cannot convince me that it's less carbon intensive than
raising a towel, raising a steer. So this is all
funded by something called the Denver Climate Protection Fund, which

(23:42):
voters approved, which shows that there are a lot of
useful idiots in Denver to raise forty million dollars every
year for urgent action to mitigate the causes of climate change.
In a press release, the mayor said, every day I
see Denver rights come together to support our city, and

(24:04):
climate action is no exception. This campaign makes it easier
for community members to take easy, everyday actions to help
meet our shared climate goals. I don't share your goal, Mayor,
I don't share your goal whatsoever. He says. Together, we
can do more of what helps, less of what hurts,
and work to make Denver a better place, not just

(24:25):
for us, but for our kids and grandkids who will
carry who will call our city home for generations to
come now. According to Denver Gazette, they decided to do
this propaganda campaign because they cite some behavioral science studies
showing that people are when they can compare their actions

(24:47):
to others, or more likely to take action. If if
I see somebody buying, you know, plant based fake meat
in the grocery store, I don't change my behavior. Well,
maybe I do. I kind of snorkel chortle at them.

(25:08):
I think at the lady it's doing that. Elizabeth Babcock,
the executive director of the Climate Office. I don't know
what we pay her. Why didn't she get laid off?
You know, we lay off cops and firefighters and public
works people and parks people and everybody, but we don't
lay off Elizabeth Babcock, the ed of the Climate Office.

(25:30):
She says that Denveright's already cared deeply about climate change,
and we know that solving this crisis requires bold action.
But history shows us that major change often starts with people. Really,
I mean people aren't aren't we the dominant force on
the planet. Aren't we at the top of the food chain?

(25:54):
So doesn't everything that happens on the planet kind of
start with us? When individuals like together, we have the
power to shape markets, influence policy, and accelerate progress. This
campaign is about showing every Denver right that their actions
matter and that when we move together, we move the needle.

(26:14):
So they got some tips plant a tree. The city
urged explain this one to me. The city also urged
residents to thrift what. Don't buy socks at Nordstroms, don't

(26:37):
buy socks at Macy's, don't buy socks at Coal's. Instead,
go to what Salvation Army go to you know, arc,
go to Goodwill or for restaurants to implement a greener
by default food menu, skip the single use service wear

(26:59):
for take out delivery, drive less, drive less, and shop
at a zero waste business or refill shop. I have
a challenge for you. Don't look at no cheating. Can
you name me a single zero waste business in Colorado? Serious.

(27:21):
I because when I read the story, I thought to myself, Okay,
I think today I'll go to a zero waste business.
Couldn't think of one, haven't heard of one, couldn't name one.
I didn't look one up because I wanted to ask
you guys, name me a ZI don't and again, no cheating,
don't get no Google, no duck dot go, no being,

(27:42):
no nothing, no you know ai app nothing. Just name
me off the top of your head, a zero waste
business and tell me what it does. Or a refill
shop the only refill shop, so called refill shop? That dragon?
Can you think of a refill shop? What do you
think of when you think of refill shop?

Speaker 4 (28:01):
That pop shop we were talking about last week with
the sodas.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Oh, maybe I hadn't talked about that one. I thought
about Toner for my printer. Yeah, that's the only one
I can think of. A refill shop. Oh, use less
hot water and lose the lawn. I'd like to lose
my lawn. Do you know what would cost me to
lose my lawn? Yes? Bookoo money?

Speaker 5 (28:26):
Yeah. Forty five years ago, nineteen eighty, Columbia, Missouri, in
July hit one hundred and nineteen degrees At that time,
the narrative was a new ice age. Seemed to change
after that have a good day?

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Did he say it was in July that it is
one hundred and nineteen degrees. Well, that's obviously fake news.
It never gets hot in July. So I cided the
Denver Gazette in that segum. But Denver Right actually had
what I thought was a more objective story of all places, Denverright,

(29:09):
one of the left wing rags in town, says this.
The campaign and other city climate efforts were funded by
a twenty five zero point twenty five percent sales tax
that voters are proven twenty twenty. At the time, critics
said it was wrong to fund climate projects with a

(29:30):
regressive tax that disproportionately impacts less wealthy Denver Rights. Since then,
the city has used the roughly forty five million dollars
annual revenue stream. You know when they tell you, well,
it's a it's just a quarter of a penny sales tax. Yeah,
that generated forty five million dollars an annual revenue. So

(29:54):
the Denverright says, since then they've used that revenue stream
to offer residents e bike rebates, plant hundreds of trees,
install solar systems, shift buildings away from fossil fuel powered
heating and cooling. I think it's New York. Yes, it's

(30:16):
on my timeline. New York has decided that they are now.
I don't think it's past the polit bureau in Albany yet,
but they want to ban any new natural gas hookups. Colorado,
you're falling behind. New York's going to beat you to this.

(30:40):
You have a chance to do it. Move us away
from fossil fuel power heating and cooling. Come on, you
can do it, Colorado. Come on. In response to the
Denveright can continues in response to an individual who's a
transit advocate who is actually, you know, obviously lefty strong

(31:02):
supporter of public transit, you know, RTD and light rail
and all that bull crap, has criticized this tax and
criticized the funding. In response to that criticism, the director
of the Denver Climate Office said her office considered using
its limited climate funding limited forty five million dollars on

(31:23):
bike lanes and public transit, which is just what we
need more of right Instead, Denveright says it opted against
the idea in favor of less expensive projects that are
expected to deliver faster emission reductions. You could put she says,
you could put all your dollars into one project, and

(31:44):
that would transform all of the different systems that we're
trying to look at. Huh how and by the way,
they're now pushing another round of E byte vouchers. One
of my favorite subjects. So speaking of regressive tax, so
the people who can at least afford to pay sales tax,

(32:04):
the poor among us are the ones that are disproportionately affected.
Do you think they're going to get an e bike?
Do you do you think there's any chance of them
at all? Voucher the standard, the eBay the rebate options
for standard e bike or an adapt e v bike.
Standard e bike voucher covers up to four hundred and
fifty dollars out of participate participating bike shop, you must

(32:28):
have a household income below denversdim denvers area median income
or under one hundred under ninety eight thousand for one
person or one hundred and forty thousand dollars for four people.
So stupidity everywhere you look.
