U.S. Heat Waves
There has been
no detectable
long-term increase
in heat waves in the
United States
( or elsewhere in the world ).
38 of 50 U.S. states
set their all-time record
high temperature
before 1960
( 23 in the 1930s! ).
In the United States,
the number of
100F, 95F and 90F
days per year
has been steadily
declining
since the 1930s.
The Environmental
Protection Agency
Heat Wave Index
confirms the 1930s
as the hottest decade.
