This. I can remember as a kid in the late seventies that either "nuclear winter" or another ice age were going to kill us all.
I wish these damn 'do-gooder' libs would go the hell away.

Well, it's hot down this way, and about popcorn fart dry. Weird stuff for Floriduh. Heat indices running in the 100-107 range locally, temps in the mid to upper 90's. Bit off the mark for May, can't wait for July/August.

The US Air Force used to have a GS employee that was a retired NCO that taught the Weather Radar course and his name was Deathrage, pronounced, Death Ridge. This article was posted on a Facebook page and people are saying I thought he taught radar, etc., and the really old former Air Force Weather personnel aren't getting the joke on this.

Let's see... A few months ago it was really cold up north. Now it's getting really warm down south... I think that is called "Weather"...

You know that record from the 1800’s, the one that stood for 100 years? I wonder what drove those temps up, and I wonder if people back in the 1800’s predicted we would not be here today?

AOC had not been born back then.

Even their craziest were no way THIS crazy.

So, seems new records, for sure, are being set.

Was watching Deadliest Catch a few weeks back, the captains were all commenting that this was as early as they had seen ice in their careers, and the coldest temps they had ever fished in...of course cold is no proof of climate, that is just weather, only heat is considered climate.

Hoeing horseradish in the heat and humidity of an Illinois August was no picnic, either. Nick a root and it was like getting tear gassed.

You know what would be a great, if someone could invent something that would cool the air in someone's house. Man that would be great!

The "Death Ridge" was total BS. We had 3 days over 90* and nobody died as a result of it that I know of. When I was growing up, we didn't have AC and we survived. Nowadays, if someone loses AC, you'd think it was the end of the world.

It's 61* and raining right now and it might break 70* today. It was 72* yesterday and ain't gonna get much over 80* the rest of the week. I'd say that's pretty damn good for the middle of June.

So...now that the scary "Death Ridge" has passed, does that prove that there ISN'T human-caused climate change? If not, why not?


BTW, this weekend there were hard freeze warnings for parts of Utah just a few miles from here. It is 48° right now at 8 a.m. Is that proof of human-caused cooling?

I live in North Carolina. Gott Sei Dank I survived the Death Ridge, as I took a two week vacation to Yellowstone during that Spring Time inferno from hell.
I did see on the news, where it hit 90 degrees at my house. Dear God! And in fact I did have to hire a gal to come over and water my chestnut trees during that time.

However, I returned a week ago and the Monsoon came with me. For the past week it has rained every day, flooding near by, and a high of 74 degrees every day.

It is the damndest thing, the weather changes every day.
