Oh, Noes, The US Likely Maybe Broke The March Heat Record

First, we haven’t gotten out of March. Second, you had the huge cold snap in March. Third, they were also blaming your for the February record cold and snow. Fourth, I though they said one area having weather is not ‘climate change’ and doesn’t matter in the grand scheme
The US broke the all-time heat record for March. Yes, it’s climate change
An unprecedented heat wave in the West broke the record for the hottest March temperature anywhere in the United States: 108 degrees. It’s an alarming signal of how hot the planet is getting and how fast it’s happening.
Yuma, Arizona, hit 109 degrees on Friday afternoon, which broke the national March record of 108 degrees set at Rio Grande City, Texas, in 1954 and 1902, according to a database of weather records from the National Weather Service and other networks.
The new record could be even hotter. The temperature near Martinez Lake, Arizona, hit 110 degrees on Thursday and 112 degrees on Friday, but it’s a temporary weather station that is not quality controlled, which calls into question its accuracy. The National Centers for Environment Information told CNN it does not validate or confirm monthly temperature records.
Wait, it was super hot in 1902?
An unusually strong and sprawling heat dome is the catalyst for the heat, but the magnitude is undoubtedly being worsened by planet-warming pollution. Heat waves are becoming more frequent, more severe and lasting longer as the world warms.
“Undoubtedly” = We’re guessing. Scaremongering.

Not a record... March heat was higher in 1934 at 100 ppm less of CO2 showing that surface temps are rather insensitive to trace gas concentrations.

As potentially record heat continues across California through the weekend, we have predeployed @CAL_FIRE and @Cal_OES resources to protect communities from extreme wildfire conditions. Protect yourself and follow guidance from local authorities. http://Ready.CA.Gov

In March 1879, there was a heatwave in the central and western U.S. that was comparable to the one going on currently. On March 3, 1879, it hit 100° in Phoenix On March 27th, it was 89° in Kansas City, and 105° in Phoenix. It hit 99° in San Diego and Los Angeles both on the Show more

And if things are so bad then why
California OKs a lot of new freeway lanes during climate change-fueled heat wave
The California Transportation Commission approved billions in funding for car-centric projects this week during a record-breaking March heat wave in the state fueled by climate change.
Supporters of the decisions praised the commission for a taking “balanced” approach in the State Transportation Improvement Program and the State Highway Operation and Protection Program — awarding money to safety-enhancing and climate-friendly projects as well as highway projects. But transportation advocates lined up to protest their funding choices for not more urgently prioritizing road safety and climate change.
Huh.
