A dust storm approaches Stratford, Texas, in 1935.
And this weather has been local. Europe, Asia and Africa aren't having similar disasters now, although they've had their own extreme events in recent years.
Or maybe not.
Temperatures in the mid-90’s in Ohio and Washington, DC in July. Stop the Presses!
Like every other summer I've seen for my entire lifetime?
Weather in California could not be more pleasant.
I have to admit, it appears California Air Resources Board (CARB) global cooling efforts have paid off. Sure, we fee’d and fined our best businesses out of state to get this done but it seems worth it now.
Ohnoes!!!
Seth Borenstein must be William Connolley's man at the AP. SSDD.
Total BS. This is what a HOT SUMMER looks like. Here in Virginia it’s awful, but our past two summers were pretty mild. So what’s this brainiac’s explanation for that?
“Derecho”....last I heard, it was known as a straight-line wind. I really think they make up this stuff as they go along.
Since the Colorado Springs fire, that leveled 346 homes and killed 2 people was ARSON, it seems the prime suspects would be found among those hyping the “Global Warming” lie.
I remember spending the summer in Atlanta in 1977 and they had something like 50 days in a row over 90 degrees. Unusual even for the Deep South. Anybody mentioning global warming in those days would have been laughed at and regarded as a crackpot. Those were the days!
funny... and here i thought it was just weather
hmph
of course, you can’t get campaign contributions or levy taxes on people for ‘weather’. to do that, you have to dress it up a bit and get people panicking.
Please.. what udder bunk.
Heat Waves, droughts, wild fires, floods, mud slides, tornados, hurricanes... all have happened long before anyone burned a hydrocarbon and will continue to happen long after the last one gets burned.
This is idiotic. The earth naturally goes through cycles, some are short enough for man to have noticed directly and predict (11 year sun spot cycles).. others can only be observed indirectly (glacial maximums and minimums). Given we are in an interglacial period, (and thank god we are) history suggest the climate will continue to moderate, until such time as we enter a long term cooling period and glacial activity increases and expands.
Its FREAKING SUMMER!!! HEAT WAVES HAPPEN.. WILD FIRES HAPPEN... to try to blame this on “man made climate change” is nonsense.
There are plenty of real damage we do do to the environment, acid rain, acid mine drainage, direct polution, etc etc etc.. but this CO2 is killing the earth is NONSENSE on its face, and its shameful folks are buying into it.
Hey, no problem.
The us federal government will simply tax the Glowbull Warming, then tax the not Glowbull Warming.
Problem solved.
Just remember: Hot in Summer = Global Warming, Cold in Winter = Climate Change.
We have a projected high of 86 tomorrow. Mark me down as pro-global warming.
Yep, the USA has never had heat waves, droughts or wildfires before in its 220 years history. Nope, it is all just caused by evil SUVs. </sarcasm>
***Horrendous wildfires.***
Global Warming causes wildfires? I remember back in 1956 we got our first TV. One of the first Public Service adds I saw was one warning about wildfires. It said that there are so many wildfires in the US each year they could cover the entire state of Louisiana! In 1956!
Oh but wait, It was hot back then! Probably all that Ethyl and regular gas we were burning.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed
by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them
imaginary.
