Turns out that the record temperature for Anchorage was bullshit anyway. When you drill down into the NOAA records as Paul Homewood consistently does you uncover the true story. The BBC really ought to be shot for the way it treats climate news, I hope BoJo sorts the bastards out!! That weather station which recorded the 'record temperature' is stuck between two runways at Anchorage airport. So without doubt is subject to the Urban Heat Island effect, how could it not be?
Anchorage “Record” Was Not Actually A Record!
The report clearly implied global warming as the cause, with several references to climate change links throughout the article.
As I pointed out at the time, the all-time record temperature for Alaska was set as long ago as 1915, when an incredible 100F was measured at Fort Yukon.
This story follows the usual BBC recipe for Arctic heatwaves:
Record temperatures = global warming
Hot weather is unprecedented in the Arctic. Most people would believe that temperatures of 90F simply never used to occur in the Arctic, it just sounds so unimaginable. Unfortunately for the BBC, it turns out that the Anchorage temperature is not even a record. I have now had time to check through the NOAA data files, and have discovered that back in June 1931, the temperature actually reached 92F at Anchorage:

There is no such thing as typical weather in Anchorage. We get extreme highs and lows in summer and winter because of our location. Sometimes lots of snow sometimes not in winter. Sometimes warm and dry, sometimes cool and rainy in summer. Sometimes typical SE Alaska weather , sometimes typical Interior Alaska weather. Two completely different climates. It's always been that way.
Yet the Apocalysts claim the sky is falling.

The only problem with that Doris is it's unmitigated bollocks. So called climate experts, some self appointed, have been predicting dire consequences for half a century and have been comprehensively and spectacularly wrong. You'd think that with a piss poor track record like that they'd be a little more circumspect but apparently not.

They haven't been 'wrong' , maggot. We are witnessing climatic change. YOU'RE not- but then you're a dumbass Denier.

Of course we are witnessing climate change you dumbfuck. Nobody questions that ffs, what they do question is AGW aka ACC. Which to my mind, and many many others, the anthropogenic signal is weak and barely indistinguishable from natural variation. Naturally extreme Left wingers like you see an opportunity to further their political agenda on the back of 'climate change'. The jig is up sport, we are all onto you.
