Day 5 of my calming climate charts series. Today I'm tackling heatwaves! 

Back in my climate movement days, I had no idea the record for worst heat was held by 1936! If I had known this I think I would 
been less anxious each time I walked outside and it was hot! More young people need to be equipped with this historical data.

Day 5 of my calming climate chart series. And today I'm going to talk about heat waves. Before we get to that, I just want to say 
something that I've noticed... is that the media will always show a very short amount of time when trying to show a climate trend. 

So instead of showing a longer historical period, which would maybe make that trend seem less extreme, they will pick a period of 
time that makes the trend look worse. So let's talk about heat waves, because when I first saw this chart back in the day, a few 
years ago maybe... I had no idea that the 1930s were the worst heat waves that the US has seen in the last 100 years, actually 150 
years.

And if you're not familiar, the 1930s was actually the Dust Bowl, which was a devastating time in American history. Go look it up. 
1936 still holds the record for the worst heat waves we've ever seen, and I had no idea about this when I was deep in the climate 
movement.

And here's another chart about heat waves that makes you realize there is no crazy climate change trend happening. So how this 
chart works is that the orange bars are days where it was equal to or over 95 degrees. The dark red is equal to or over 100 
degrees, and the black is equal to or over 105 degrees.

And as you can see, there is no crazy like up into the right trend here, you see variability from year to year. Again, the 1930s 
are still the worst heat wave years we've ever seen, with the most days above 100 and above 95.

And let's go look at the last decade. I mean, there's nothing here that's really crazy or unprecedented when you take the 100 
years. Obviously there's variability from time to time. We've seen hotter, we've seen cooler, but yeah, if you just took the last 
what? 2010 to 2020 and showed this, you'd go, oh my God, look at this upward trend, it's so scary, but then you zoom out and you 
realize, well even the hottest year, which was 2023 here is not hotter than the years we've seen in the past and I'm just curious 
if you guys had any awareness of this is what the heat wave history in the US looked like over the past 100 years?
