‘Science by press release’: Hansen’s woeful claims about DC’s 95 degree temps shredded: ‘There is little or no correlation between DC summer temps & world temps’
AP's Borenstein cites Hansen as linking DC summer's 23 days with 95° or hotter temps to global warming...In 1980, with significantly cooler world temps than today's,D.C. experienced 28 days of temps of 95° or higher -- 5 more than this summer. 24, occurred in 1988 again with significantly cooler world temps'

Despite the science not supporting Hansen’s claims, AP’s Seth Borenstein happily promotes Hansen’s bad claims:
