“You can thank the President who tore up the Paris climate agreement.

How could this heat wave be Trump’s fault, he has President for less than 6 months but Barack Obama had control for 8 years?

As a child I read a book of folk tales of the Southwest. One of them was about a cowboy trickster who when he was told that he was going to be sent to hell proclaimed “but it is nearly as hot there as Texas during branding time!”

If Trump had put pen to Paper in Paris it would be 30 degrees cooler today. Barack always made sure it was under 85 in LA. I sure do miss him.

Newsflash by CNN...

[who knows what evil?]

ROTFLMAOPIMP...this will NEVER happen...have fun with your ‘climate change cult’.

Phoenix highest temperature recorded on June 26, 1990, the temperature reached an all-time recorded high of 122 °F (50 °C).

121° - July 28, 1995

Jill Filipovic is so blazingly moronic that I wonder how she places one foot in front of the other to walk without direct assistance.

Hot in Phoenix in late June...blame Trump.

I guess Kennedy or Johnson were responsible for the hot summers I had as a kid. Fishing was better once Nixon got elected.

Makes perfect sense now.

[ZULU]

WOW!!!! Its HOT in Death Valley!!! Before Global Warming, it was a jungle!!!

Idiots.

Entire nations may soon be under water. Mega-cities that are home to hundreds of millions are set to drown, leaving huge numbers of people stranded, constraining already-limited resources, fueling violence and competition over those resources, and creating a whole new category of need: climate refugees.

Cats and dogs, living together!

That’s life down here. Kind of brutal today as we had thin clouds roll in last night and hold in all the heat. A morning low of 89 is just plain not right. But this too shall pass, things are due to mellow out next week.

[lucky american]

I so no articles about the non-existent spring the Northeast had. It snowed here 3 weeks ago. I just put away my winter coat.

Record temperatures. Given the small sample set of at most 200 years it would be expected every year record temperatures are set given there are 365 possible days for a record high or low to be set.

Were you born yesterday Ms. Filipovic? The Southwest always broils in the Summertime.

I feel sorry for Jill Filipovic.

Maybe she has been kept in NYC and Atlanta all her life?

117 here in Gilbert AZ (30 mi. SE from Phoenix) right now. Couple flights grounded since Embraers are grounded at 118F. Nobody is in a panic. Got a backyard pool, umbrella, and life is good.
