So 33C was the official maximum temperature reported for Athens last Wednesday, but the BBC reported it had peaked at 38C.
Does seem very slight of hand if not an outright lie.
For the global warming zealots - happy to lap up their lies.
Enjoy your slavery - well earned and deserved.
And enjoy your censorship too.
Could not find the exact BBC article but here is another one from the same source on the same day Wednesday the 30th.
It's a swelteringly hot day in Athens with temperatures reaching 36 degrees.

Well, all of this is easy to understand. Which bits are difficult?
An official temperature will be recorded in a certain place in a certain aparatus, just to ensure consistency over time. Yet it could be cooler or hotter in other places in the same city. You can see yourself this in Perth that its hotter or cooler or wetter or dryer than the official observation locations.
Then of course there are obvious things with media. Sensational stories are far more interesting, so if you get told the hottest temperature is 30c in one place and 38c in another place, which one are you going to put in your story?
I am thinking that I need to build a seawall in my front yard soon. My backyard is okay being a bit elevated, although too small to suit a new house, but my worry is that sealevel rises are going to turn my front yard and all the neighbouring yards into part of the ocean. If I get started now I could have an island in a few dozen decades from now.
