Scare Tactics to create fear

As public awareness grows that human caused warming is false the extent and degree of attempts to scare the public increases.

Nebraska - Cities take dip into low-temp record book over weekend
Omaha missed out on temperature record-setting Sunday.

Lincoln, however, had a second consecutive day of record low temperatures for July — a month more associated with sweating than sweaters.

According to the National Weather Service, a low temperature of 51 degrees at 6:15 a.m. Sunday at Lincoln Municipal Airport broke the city’s 1947 record of 53 degrees.

Saturday, a temperature of 53 degrees at 6:45 a.m. at Eppley Airfield had broken Omaha’s 1873 record of 57 degrees. But Omaha’s low temperature of 53 degrees Sunday morning wasn’t enough to break the 1873 record of 51 degrees.
