——————HEAT WAVE : FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION———
Here’s a thought: This heat wave occurs in a summer in which I’ve just learned hundreds of thousands of air flights were cancelled. (17K canceled on just 2 dates in the US !)
How many millions of tons of emissions were eliminated from our skies allowing more solar penetration—thus less reflective protection—and more radiant heat to reach the surface. One wonders.
Perspectives welcomed from all more wise than me.
Too funny

The Sun's cycles can cause problems. Today's Astronomy picture/comments are very interesting, who needs an Atomic bomb EMP when this can happen?

It seems that huge volcanic explosion in Tonga in the South Pacific put so much water vapor in the stratosphere that it is acting as a huge greenhouse effector on our planet, far, far, more than measly C02. H20 vapor is 50 times more effective at trapping heat than C02.
I love how the Left insults the Right by saying Deplorables don't know or "believe" in science and knee jerk "deny" man-made global warming, when in fact the whole scientific community is not in any way a settled place and is always updating and changing as we learn more and gather more real data. The Earth changes every day due to events we have absolutely no control over! The idea that we sit at the apex and control the atmosphere, temperature, etc, like some Greek Gods, is so laughable. We are, in fact, part of nature and the rules of nature as set by God Almighty have been working and doing since the beginning of time! Real scientists (not political "scientists", which are not) know this. They may not believe the God part, but as Einstein once said:
The human mind, no matter how highly trained, cannot grasp the universe. We are in the position of a little child, entering a huge library whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of the human mind, even the greatest and most cultured, toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged, obeying certain laws, but we understand the laws only dimly. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that sways the constellations.
