Across much of the northern hemisphere, intense and prolonged heatwaves have triggered disruption and devastation as North America, the Arctic, northern Europe and Africa have sweltered in record-breaking temperatures. In Africa, a weather station at Ouargla, Algeria, in the Sahara desert, recorded a temperature of 51.3C, the highest reliable temperature ever recorded in Africa. In Japan, where temperatures have reached more than 40C, people were last week urged to take precautions after the death toll reached 30 with thousands more having sought hospital treatment for heat-related conditions. And in California increased use of air conditioning units, switched on to counter the scorching conditions there, has led to power shortages.

Blackouts in Malibu! Oh Noes! And apparently the arctic is melting and will be ice free by the end of the week. RECORDED temperatures. You know, because the temperatures that WEREN'T recorded don't count.

It’s called “Summer”, you know, that time of year when it’s supposed to be HOT!

Well, there were no heat waves before Trump so it must be Trump.

There’s a massive heatwave all over the northern hemisphere, from the equator to the poles!

We should have a code name for this event so it can be recorded in history.

I suggest the code name: Season of Summer.

A little over a month ago a heatwave intensified over North America. It’s the first time in history this has happened.

Scientist and weather experts have put their head’s together, and predicted we should see some relief by mid to late September.

Once again, anti-carbon efforts will have worked their magic.

It is predicted we should see roughly six months of reduced temperatures, but all bets are off next year.

It could get much hotter from June through mid September.

I suppose that Trump will be blamed. But it’s all part of the normal weather cycle: The Russians interfere with the weather. Temperatures go goofy. Then the Russians don’t interfere for a while. Then they interfere again. Etc.

Yep, you’re smarter than 99% of the climatologists these days.

The climate is changing, it is government(s) experimenting, or controlling the climate and it is out of control.

I spent 3 years in England. Every summer they would scream drought. Put out water pipes for villagers to get water. Say the reservoirs would not recover for 20 years. And then it would rain for two weeks straight and fill up the reservoirs. Oh, never mind. Let’s get a pint.

It’s a result of all the hot air the leftists are spewing against President Trump.
