With today's media, I'm not surprised. Blaming the ET on the heatwave, sure, whatever. Blaming on it on "corn sweat"? I guess they forgot (or don't know about) about all of the grass, trees, lakes, rivers, etc. that also contribute to the total ET on a daily basis. The media, especially the national media is nothing more than an endless running National Enquirer using other means of social media to gather their "stories", instead of doing it on their own.
It does make one wonder how they would report the drought and corresponding heatwave that occurred during the Dustbowl? They would most likely make something up, not realizing that we inadvertently created it.
