Global warming: It's HEEEEEERE....
Been watching the news? London's stuck in a heat wave, the entire US
is stuck in a heat wave...how much more before people start calling for Bush's head? Here's just a sampling of the records broken in my area in the past three weeks, from NOAA. Finally, a government agency admitted there's a problem! http://www.weather.gov/climate/getclimate.php?wfo=lox |

Global warming: It's HEEEEEERE....

wrote: Um, isn't this what we use to just call a hot summer? snip Look at the climotological record...there has NEVER been so many days over 42°C here in a row, nor have the minimums been so high. Last night's here tied the record since climate records have been kepts for over 100 years. Not only that, the monsoonal flow that's screwing up my evaporative cooling savings never happened in July, ever...but it did a little last, year, and a LOT this year. Things are definitely changing. Hot it has been though, for sure. I have never experienced this number of hot consecutive days in all my time on earth. The other thing is it always ends up almost 2-4 Celsius warmer than the forecasting. Day after day. Currently 33 right now and it seems there could be plenty more of that high 88 stuff in the coming weeks. Once it hangs on it is hard to get rid of it, especially with heat widespread south of us from coast to coast. snip "Urbanization" is to blame for many of the high minimums. Lawns, roads, roofs...all man-caused activities...all absorb heat and release it later, which causes higher minimums, and gives a "head start" toward higher maximums during the day. I know one thing...I'm again looking at emigrating to Canada! |

roads, roofs...all man-caused activities...all absorb heat and release it later, which causes higher minimums, and gives a "head start" toward higher maximums during the day. I have been told that the climate in the Phoenix area is an example of man made changes. Thanks to lawn watering, non native vegetation, and air conditioning - the humidity levels are a far cry from the 50s when allergy sufferers craved the dry pollen free relief of the area. |

thank God- now we can save big bucks on those winter heating bills,
WWW- right ? There was a pretty standard gag here in Winnipeg years back when aerosol was fingered as a culprit of global warming. People would pretend to be running amok spraying with two fisted abandon. |

Out here, due to unbridled development, the humidity has been on a tear for the last couple of years. When it used to be routine to have dew points down near 0°C and below, we're now seeing as high as 15°C, which to me, is too humid. My swampie cooler earns its nickname in such circumstance, and I have to go over to refrigeration to stay around 25° or so. Not to worry! Solar panels are on the way! |

What a country ! |

Forwarded to the EPA for action, with all your "personal information.". What a country ! snip What a moron! You probably have screwed up more refrigeration systems than anyone I know. Just WTF are you doing "releasing" Freon® from a working system for, anyway? A well maintained system won't need any "purging" for years. I've worked on chillers and self-contained HVAC units that hadn't been evacuated in 40 years. Of course, Noodles, being the apostolic idiot he is, probably thinks you have to "change" the Freon®! Charlie Nudo...causing more damage to society than 100 honest people. |
