WASHINGTON (AP) — The dangerous heat wave shattering March records all over the U.S. Southwest is more than just another extreme weather blip. It’s the latest next-level weather wildness that is occurring ever more frequently as Earth’s warming builds.

Experts said unprecedented and deadly weather extremes that sometimes strike at abnormal times and in unusual places are putting more people in danger. For example, the Southwest is used to coping with deadly heat, but not months ahead of schedule, including a 110-degree Fahrenheit (43.3 Celsius) reading in the Arizona desert on Thursday that smashed the highest March temperature recorded in the U.S.

I found this winter quite unpleasant and I did not detect a lot of warming.

well the end of the world peeps should be very happy with the lack of oil flowing to many of the worlds countries. It helps drive the switch to solar and wind they say is needed to save the planet from man made global warming.

And yet.. they are mad! Not because prices are higher (which they usually love) but only because it is because of Trump.

If we shut down all non essential businesses that generate hot air (like the AP) it’ll be a good start towards cooling the planet

Ah, journalists again show why the only thing left for them in the employment pool was journalism.

I think I detected global warming in my oven. People think it is not true.

March’s heat would have been virtually impossible without human-caused climate change

So the Dust Bowl was impossible?

But the massive storms in the east and below zero weather mean nothing. I’m just now getting rid of the effects of the last big snow storm.
I noticed the Accuweather site has a temperature graph that is wildly off. It looked like it added 5 degrees on average for daily highs.

Yep, the major snow storm up north, well that was a sign of nothing? Kinda like the old phrase “if it bleds, it leads” which apparently has become”if it heats it’s climate change”!

Borenstein is an Associated Press science writer, covering climate change,

In other words, Seth has to keep this type of BS content churning out to justify his existence at the AP or else he will be in the unemployment line.

Geologist, Professor Ian Plimer, utterly demolishes the human-induced “climate emergency” fairy tale in three and a half minutes:

“[Six of the six] great ice ages started when we had more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than now. We have 0.04% of that gas in the atmosphere... Well that means nothing to me, because the atmosphere has changed in its carbon dioxide content from over 20% to now, which is really low in geological time. If we halved it, all plant life would die, and animals would die.”

The short video is informative, funny, biting. Well worth the watch.

Stop posting BS stories. Earth warmed a lot to melt last ice age, and it was not human critters causing it.

He’s back! Just in time for the first day of spring. It’s been a very cold winter here in NC. We are ready for some warming.

Its so hot that on Monday we were hit with record breaking snow. Drifts over five and a half feet against the doors of the house. The front of the barn was drifted up to the eaves. We had to make some tunnels and dig a well in the snow down to the door on the sheep shed just to try to get some feed to them.

THATs hot!
