It's early July and it's hot in many areas of the country and world. We're expected to believe that is the fault of Americans using air conditioning, the burning of fossil fuels (not counting liberal elite hypocrites' private jets), and of course Donald Trump.
This week Bernie Sanders was called out for using the same alarmism every single summer for a number of years:
Read this post today and it sounded familiar - "hottest on record/fossil energy greed" yada yada yada.

Did some digging and like clockwork - the good Senator puts up nearly identical posts every summer when it gets hot - dating back to 2016.

The media's working hard to help with the narrative:
D.C. will be hotter than 99 percent of the planet on Friday.

Meteorologist Chris Martz called BS on all that with this reality check:
On today's date in 1901, over half of the U.S. was at or above 90°F and nearly 9% of the land area was at least 100°F.
