Do you think the heat wave is related to global warming?
Yes No Duh, it's summer I don't know Global warming is a myth
To see the poll, scroll down once you hit the main page. You'll find it in the middle.
To many choices.
Yes or no, would have been better.
I clicked 'Global warming is a myth'.
The 'no,Duh,and myth' total about 69%
Overall we've had a fairly cool summer here in southern Michigan.
Ummmmmm, I think it's related to SUMMER
PING! PING! PING!

DON'T LOOK GOOD FOR THE WACKY GREENS
The inclusion of the Global Warming as Myth choice indicates that this is a newspaper that at least has somewhat of a clue.
Anyone read the comments below the poll? Some wacko calls himself paulrevere wrote this, (apparently about global warming?):
It appears that discussion of the crimes of the Zionists are too HOT for the comment section. Judaism, and the Christianity that Jesus inspired, are religions which embrace peace, and a related system of social ethics. In contrast, the perpetrated actions by Israeli elites and their U.S. neo-conservative allies against innocent Lebanese civilians, reveals a hideous intelligence far from the spirit of either Judaism or Christianity.

Duh, it's summer 446 votes (34.6%)
I don't know 35 votes (2.7%)
Global warming is a myth 286 votes (22.2%)
It looks like the poll is rigged for a Yes majority.
Yeah, I read that too.
I thought "WTF does this have to do with global warming?!"
I think the heat wave is related to the summer season. If it were winter, I might consider it. The record was set in the 1930's.
The heat wave is over and we are back to normal temperatures in my area. I guess global warming must be over.
Once again they split up the vote with several non-global warming answers.
That's because the kooks are too bad at math to figure out they aren't winning. However, I successfully completed 6th grade math and thus understand the numbers.
Thanks to mplsSteve for the ping.(might be a repeat, but it's so hot here in Colorado due to algor's booksigning visit and gaseous speech, I have lost track of the polls) :)

Forgot to ping anyone to the poll! See above. Arg-h-h-h-h!
Done.
Surely, this should be proof enough of the increasing effects of "global warming" or "climate change".
Oh wait.... that was 1936! And despite this year's heat wave, those 1936 record high temperatures still stand 70 years later.

In fact, no other period in the U.S. (since the federal government began keeping records in 1890) has recorded so many record high temperatures for a single Summer. Even the scorching hot Summer of 1995 only recorded a single record high temperature (106º F in Danbury, CT on July 15).
In 1930, June 1 to August 31 brought 21 days of high temperatures that were 100 degrees or above in the Washington, D.C., area. Another record as yet unbroken.
Melting glaciers? Alaska's highest recorded temperature of 100º F at Fort Yukon was on June 27, 1915.
But surely, the planet is getting hotter... Al Gore says so! Let's see.. the hottest temperature ever recorded anywhere was 136º F. But that was in Aziziyah, Libya, in September of 1922. How about in the U.S.? That was 134º F near Death Valley in 1913.
More than 68% of the U.S. record high temperatures occurred prior to 1938. And that was way before air conditioning was commonplace and before it was available in automobiles. Imagine the horrors!.
Never mind the 5 inches of snow that fell in South Africa on August 3rd or the below-expected hurricane season so far this year... Al Gore says that nearly all "scientists" agree that we're doomed.
