I won't believe anything like that. Texas didn't exactly get too many days over 100 in July, and August has actually seen us having cool temperatures. And there is still no global warming.
A very bearable summer here in N. Texas for sure.
Sure enjoyed 69 for the high this Thursday.
To say that man can never have any impact on his environment (which includes the climate) is sheer ignorance and idiocy.
"Never" and "Case closed" are two different parts of the AGCC/AGW spectrum.
If the predictions are accurate, then "the big money" will selfishly build up levees around their coastal properties, or relocate to high ground, or move from the "worst" locations.
But so far, all I hear is the need to pay carbon taxes, while ignoring the #1 greenhouse gas - water vapor - and its effect on albedo.
On record since WHEN? The EARTH IS 4+ BILLION years old. We have kept records for what....200 years? Jeez folks...get a grip!
I read an article today that said I-95 was the shoreline of an ocean a couple MILLION years ago.. climate change is nothing new. I won't debate whether we SHOULD do anything about it...but I will say we CANNOT affect the global climate at all.
Damn, I would be a fish just offshore. Where are the confounded lobsters?
The OP did say the hottest July in 4000 years. That doesn't put a dent in 4B but how do they know what the temp was 4000 years ago?
We had the largest amount of rainfall ever reported in July in CA.
In the winter didn't we have record snow almost everywhere?
The sunspots are not active and people are actually saying the sun is acting like it did last time before the mini ice age.
It is supposed to rain very well this winter.
I think we are just in a typical long range weather pattern. The pattern probably cycles over the course of many lifetimes so humans always feel they are living in end times based on their one short lifetime.
Let me make you a simple, believable promise. The planet will be here when we are all gone.
I will double down. I guarantee there will no evidence of us ever being here within two centuries of us being extinct.
El Nino will probably make this a record year as it lasts into the fall.
Climate change wasn't even brought up in the last debate and pols like Ted Cruz keep claiming that the earth hasn't warmed in 17 years. You have to wonder where they get their data.
Marco Rubio's opinion is about to change, I don't see how he can ignore the extensive evidence in Florida.
The Keys are underwater and Daytona is the new Miami?
