Nobody tells more blatant lies about climate than Heidi Cullen’s Climate Central. Here is a whopper. They claim that 80 degree days are coming earlier at Milwaukee, and start their graph during the cold 1970’s – as if there isn’t any data from before 1970.
Let’s check their claim out. The closest USHCN station to Milwaukee is at Racine.
The trend is the exact opposite of what Climate Central claims. The first 80-degree day is coming much later than it used to. It was 80 degrees in Racine on March 27, 1910, and March 27, 1945. The latest first 80-degree day was in 2013 when Racine didn’t reach 80F until June 24.
For the entire US, there is no trend in the frequency of April 80 degree days, which peaked in 1954 and 1910.
Climate Central couldn’t have picked a worse day to publish this fraud. On this date in 1934, half of the US was over 90F, and much of the Midwest was over 100F. Medford, Wisconsin was 101F on May 30, 1934. Their forecast high today is 53F – almost 50 degrees cooler. Langdon, North Dakota was 111 degrees on this date in 1934.
This sort of spectacular and blatant fraud by Heidi Cullen is typical, who ten years ago wanted to decertify any meteorologist who didn’t go along with her fraud.

Noting that back in the 1970’s according to TIME we were suppost to be getting colder and a New Ice Age was coming which just proves Global Warming/Climate Change is based upon lies and junk science
I live here in VERY chilly Wisconsin. This is another day of many in a row with temperatures significantly below normal, and another spring of many lately with a cooling trend. BTW, it seems to most here that winter temperatures also arrive earlier each fall.
This “Milwaukee is burning” meme is absolute garbage. The abnormally warm days seen in Wisconsin are just that – abnormal. Usually we will spike a warm day or two bracketed by much longer abnormally cold periods on each end.
Heidi seems to leave out the most significant factor of all driving Milwaukee’s temperatures – Lake Michigan’s “lake effect”. On any given day in the summer Milwaukee will be 2 to 5 degrees cooler than adjoining inland locations due to the lake’s massive heat-sink effect and prevailing wind direction and strength. Also noteworthy, when Lake Michigan experienced drought and declining water levels ten to fifteen years ago, global warming activists screamed that the lake was “drying up” in our lifetimes. Fast forward to today, and the lake is forecast by the Army Corps of Engineers to be near an all-time recorded high, gaining 15 trillion gallons by summer.
Ask people who live here… This report is nothing more than political manure disguised as science. Excuse me while I find my heavy spring coat and go to town. It’s only 55 degrees and not supposed to get much warmer today, or anytime soon.
How is Heidi Cullen even allowed to express any opinion or perspective at all in the area of weather and climate, having tried two decades ago to arbitrarily cancel the AMS seal for TV weather persons who dared disagree with her lunatic global warming screeds. Her credibility card expired that day.
Warmists are on their back foot, grasping at factoids and “chartmanship” to baffle simpletons.Cherry picking records exposes desperation.Weather bunnies fill the space between commercials while climate changes. La-de-da
Back in 2014 they claimed was the warmists on record(Lie)i can still remember that year summer was pretty mild but the liberal leftists Watermellow news(Green on outside red inside)always tend to blow things out of proportions everytime
