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.

Death Valley still holds the record at 134.

Which is a direct result of Pres. Trump not signing the Paris Accords. Accordingly, Death Valley will be re-named Trump Valley to be marked with a giant gold sign. France will pay for the sign.

“Heat index says otherwise.”

Heat index is not a measure of absolute temperature. It is like the chill factor, a combination of temperature and moderating influence, in this case humidity. The higher the humidity, the higher the heat index relative to absolute temperature. In the chill factor, the influence tends to be wind speed.

Right now I live in a heat wave area where I recall some years ago that less than four days in June had temperatures less than 100 degrees. This is a moderate heat wave and the temperature will be 108 or so today, up to 111 or more tomorrow. Several years ago my husband and I installed out paving stone patio when the temperature was 115 degrees. We had no idea it was that hot while we were hauling heavy stones and only confirmed it after we finished and were back inside.

By contrast, I grew up in an area where the chill factor was carefully monitored and it wasn’t unusual to have temperatures of 10 below with a chill factor of 35 below.

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.

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

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.

Well then I’d better quit reading those books describing the heat in the desert areas then.

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.
