It is official. 2010 is the record breaking heat extreme of all times

[Stinky The Clown]

Live report from the Weather Channel

Got it?

Hottest in record.

Which is also what last year was.






Weather? Or climate change?

[Parker CA]

1. Well, it IS summer, right? ;-)

[Winterblues]

2. Hottest summer on record...yes.

:shrug:

[Parker CA]

6. Well that's what the winter is for. To cool things down, right?

In case sarcasm detectors are shot from the heat...

[The Straight Story]

3. Of ALL time? Over 6000 years and this is the warmest?

:rofl:

[DireStrike]

4. The bible...

IT'S A COOKBOOK!

[Parker CA]

8. Warmest since man and dinos walked side by side.

[LargeGreenSpider]

15. More like the warmest of ALL-TIME was ...

maybe the year 308,444,831 BCE. Carboniferous-Permian hyperoxic warming.
Come see our airplane-sized dragonflies!

[The Straight Story]

16. Hmm, so warmer makes things grow bigger?

I will be able to ride a mouse to work :)

[marmar]

5. It has been miserably hot here in SE Michigan......

..... And in a usual summer, even a hot one, we get some days of relief.....That hasn't happened this year.

[malaise]

7. Worst drought in Russia in over 100 years

Worst floods in Pakistan in living memory.

Forget all the evidence, some RW hack will say we're all wrong.

9. Guess it is time for me to plant some citrus trees..... in Pennsylvania

....


Time for corn to grow in Alaska soon.

[lpbk2713]

18. You might as well.

There won't be any more citrus from Florida after the polar ice caps melt.
The whole state will be submerged.

[rbrnmw]

10. there is no such thing

:hide: :sarcasm:

[Cetacea]

11. It's normal this time of year

:rofl:

[derby378]

12. A glimpse of how Bill Hicks probably would have responded

Apologies to our friends in Los Angeles:

Goodbye You Lizard Scum

[retread]

13. Does this mean Al Gore's igloo has melted?

[LWolf]

14. Does that mean that winter

will see a corresponding increase in hard freezes?

The last 2 winters in a row my pipes froze hard for weeks at a time, requiring me to travel 15 miles round trip to shower, and to haul water for flushing and livestock.

Plus last winter's deep freeze broke pipes, which were costly to repair.

17. Science?? I thought we didn't trust science

nevermind

[Stinky The Clown]

20. I trust science

I can't imagine why you don't.

[Blue_In_AK]

19. Well, Anchorage has been gray and rainy and cool all summer,

so therefore there IS no global warming, got it?? (I kid, I kid -- but that's the argument you'd get from the troglodytes around here.)
