@GoldyHappens It's a 75 to 80 win team at best.. what's to get excited about? Outside of their fluke World Series run in 2023 this has been a bad franchise for most of its existence (early 2000s aside)

I’m really curious to see how the crowds are next week at Chase Field after Opening Day. I’m a sicko but it feels like a lot of my friends are pretty disinterested in the #DBacks season starting…

@BigJoeBastardi @MatthewWielicki Your political views are even worse than your climatological opinions, which seems hard to fathom, but here we are.

@MatthewWielicki If Biden had not stopped drill baby drill, the US would be producing so much oil The straits of Hormuz would be a moot point. Another casualty of the phony climate war

Hockey stick graphs are merely artifacts of the statistical routine applied.
Andy@NewPositivism
@orwell2022 Yes. Here's how I created hockey sticks out of a bunch of pseudoproxies created from random numbers (red noise) simply by following the PAGES2K proxy screening routine. x.com/NewPositivism/…

@BigJoeBastardi @DanielTurnerPTF Using that graphic as a correlation to a lack of climate change is mind-bendingly stupid. Of course there were more deaths 100 years ago, now we have central air/heat, advanced warning systems for severe weather, more education/awareness (present company excluded it seems).

@DanielTurnerPTF ? to Grok. Is life better than ever on planet earth?
Yes, by nearly every objective, measurable indicator of human well-being, life on planet Earth has never been better
Why dont you deal with facts instead of hysteria

English

I’ll be the one brave enough to say it: climate change. Climate change, the greatest threat we face as a nation, with the guarantee of rising sea levels and extreme weather events, that’s what is responsible. And nothing else.

@GMUW1987 @NWSPhoenix I don't that word means what you think it does.
They literally just reported the temperatures that were observed.

@DMarianoparise @JimSteeleSkepti @ChrisMartzWX Neat. Except I never said the record is fake.
Weather ≠ climate.
Avondale, AZ 🇺🇸 English

@JimSteeleSkepti @michaelgroff @ChrisMartzWX Jim,beware that now Groff will say that the all time world cold record for a month of March broken today in Vostok is fake..and that all the record cold in Alaska is also fake..or if not he will say that "it's ALSO our fault".....🤦
English

LOL These recent record temperatures are rather silly as they are for single locations for a specific day and determined by a heat dome that has nothing to do with rising CO2. The real evidence of global warming is the record maximum temperature for each state for March suggesting no global warming

English

@JimSteeleSkepti I genuinely feel bad for you.
Being wrong about an issue is one thing, but to be so bitter and have nothing but insults toward people that don't agree with you... at 75 years old, what a truly sad existence.
Oh well, stay old and bitter dude.
Avondale, AZ 🇺🇸 English

My apologies Groff. I'm not pushong ad hominems! Unlike your suggestions I am a self created denier, many retards simply suffer from genetic anomalies and they should not be demeaned for acts of nature. I don't mean to demean your deficiencies! I'm just pointing out why you suffer from such deficiencies.
English

@GMUW1987 @simongerman600 I used to love the weather channel in the 80s/90s, then they started naming winter storms and became all about the sensationalism.
Avondale, AZ 🇺🇸 English

@michaelgroff @simongerman600 Phoenix per WC….. I don’t access other sites. This is pretty reliable for us commoners.

English

Phoenix has been VERY hot so far this year. It isn’t the birthplace of air conditioning but without the technology the city would be as big and important as it is. I wonder therefore how much locals even feel the increase in temperatures. Source of the chart: reddit.com/r/dataisbeauti…

@JimSteeleSkepti More ad hominem.
"retard", "stupid".
Always the sign of a cogent, well crafted argument.
"there's no global warming"
*gets shown there is*
"yeah but you're retarded".
Imagine being a 75 year old man insulting random people on social media... That says a lot, sadly.
Avondale, AZ 🇺🇸 English

LOL Groff keeps using the "dementia defense" by constantly replying "I am so confused" LOL Now to ignore the UHI refutation of his bogus warming trend graph, he deflects with "even rural areas that are seeing substantial increases in temperatures are ignored by you". What a retard! I , nor any skeptic, argues rural areas don't also warm during a heatwave. Still rural temperatures don't report record breaking temperatures as high as urban centers.
English

@GMUW1987 @simongerman600 "climate alarmists"...
1) We're talking about the weather for next werk, not climate... Huge difference and...
2) Looks like mid 80s to me.

Avondale, AZ 🇺🇸 English

@michaelgroff @simongerman600 Michael is one of the climate alarmist gaslighters I see. Forecast is high 70s Wednesday.
English

@JaredP849 @OneBadDude_ Oh sure, it's got to be cheating... It most certainly isn't the sky rocketing grocery, gas/energy prices (the ones Trump promised to cut in half in his first year), increasing umemployment, more of a police state, needless wars (deapite promise of no wars)... But yeah, "cheating"
Avondale, AZ 🇺🇸 English

@OneBadDude_ These gains in red states are indicative of cheating. Increased investigative pressure is needed. R’s collectively need to stop being so complacent and apathetic!
English

@JimSteeleSkepti @DMarianoparise @ChrisMartzWX Not sure when I said "climate crisis" nor did I simply use one dataset.
I guess we can add lack of reading comprehension and intentionally being obtuse to your ever so impressive resume.
Avondale, AZ 🇺🇸 English

@michaelgroff @DMarianoparise @ChrisMartzWX LOL Yet Groff buys a warming trend corrupted by UHI.
Clearly Groff mindlessly believes in any data suggesting a climate crisis trend.
English

@DMarianoparise @JimSteeleSkepti @ChrisMartzWX There's no actual record or verified source of this, also there weren't widespread standards regarding thermometer placement and housing/shielding, nor official, consistent record keeping.
Sorry, not buying it.

@michaelgroff @JimSteeleSkepti In the historic March,1879 heat Wave Phoenix hit 112F..

English

@JimSteeleSkepti So, even rural areas that are seeing substantial increases in temperatures are ignored by you, despite the fact that there are clear changes in rainfall distribution, vegetation, and other environmental impacts on going.
Nice ad hominem argument though, always a winner!
Avondale, AZ 🇺🇸 English

LOL That is the problem with today's media. There are too many meteorologists holding forth that are so easily confused they don't know the difference between climate change and local temperature change. And unaware of your own stupidity, you call us scientists that try to educate you "deniers".

English

@JimSteeleSkepti Well, I'm confused..
Climate change deniers tell me "it doesn't exist", but then tell me "but UHI". Either man influences climate or not.
Also, it's not just Phoenix getting progressively hotter, fairly similar Trends can be found all over (especially in the west).
Avondale, AZ 🇺🇸 English

True. The map was created before Arizona's record high. We'll see what records change when these preliminary temperatures are validated.
And please, Phoenix temperature trends? Despite your claim to be a meteorologist, your data doesn't account for UHI effects as population of Phoenix grew
1900: 5,544 residents.
1950: ~106,818 residents.
1960: ~439,000 (city area quadrupled).
1980: Entered the top 10 most populous US cities.
2000: 1.32 million.
2020-2026: Over 1.6 million.
Notice how UHI has caused some built up areas to be 10F warmer than neighboring communities. It is not about climate change but landscape change.
