2012: Hottest Year On Record

Rolling Stone Mag just published this story...

Global warming's terrifying new math




Is it getting hot in here or what? ...

 

Another hot day here for sure.

 

The earth is burning up and they dont what us to know. It has something to do with the polar axis shift that is predicted in the Mayan calander. Somethings definetly happening to the climate. Ive never seen the crops look so bad.

 

And the Tea Party is running around with their fingers in their ears, screaming "It's not happening.... It's not happening!"

More hot weather today with air quality alerts, severe weather alerts and heat advisories. I hope we don't lose our power again. The humidity is high and at 4 am it feels like you are walking through a cloud. Dripping.

 

Summer hasn't been to hot here. But I know the dog days of August are ahead and thats when it ususally starts to get bad around here. 115f days can be normal in august

 

Heat advisory today... That means stay inside where it's cooler because you have A/C... Fuck all those without A/C, we are supposed to just die off...

 

no heat advisory today.. thank god.. but the humidity has been brutal of late

 

climate change has nothing to do with axis shifts.
the mayans couldn't predict white man destroying them, they couldn't predict our cars destroying the environment either. stop the fearmonger that rides on the back of mayan prophecy.

 

I believe it. The weatherman last night said that 23 days in July here were 90 degrees or above. Some went up to 100 or more. (the other days were probably above 85) So far in August we have only had one day that was below 90 and that was 87. Today is supposed to go to about 93. The weather guys are not that great on predicting the future weather but I guess they keep good statistics on what did happen.

 

This summer has the feel of the twilight zone episode Midnight Sun

I believe it. Over this last winter we had hardly any snowfall. Once March/April hit, we were already in the 80's and 90's which normally doesnt come until at least June here. I can dig it though, I hate the snow.

 

Problem is without the snow to slowly melt into the ground we now are in a drought situation. We had the same as you, no winter to mention. no spring at all and 80's and 90's starting in March. Way too weird for me. We also are getting next to no rain to speak of. When it does rain it is a big storm and quickly passes leaving damage behind (trees and power lines down)

 

And with that kind of downpour on the hard packed dry soil it all runs off anyways. Very little soaks in for the trees and garden plants... The weeds are doing well though.

 

its waaay to hot here

 

The dog days of august have arrived here in so cal

 

A/C is a big deal in the summer in these parts. Seriously, the heat can be dangerous for a large segment of the population (elderly, the very young), and downright miserable indoors without A/C. The heat they give off is negligible. Maybe if you live in an urban area where a lot of people are using A/C in a small area it would matter, but I wouldn't know as I live in a rural area. And then again, the urban heat island effect is a bigger source of heat anyway. I'd rather spend more on extra A/C in the summer and offset that cost by not using as much heat in the winter as I don't mind cooler temperatures than most and I can always just bundle up if I want to be warmer.

 

Humans will never control the weather. Of course as sunspot activity increases, politicians will create more propaganda to get more people to be ok with sending them more money and making them richer. Every ecological abnormality for the last 10 years they've blamed on global warming and CO2 levels. But whenever a volcano blows up, that releases more CO2 into the atmosphere than humans have ever put into the air since the Roman empire. Tis a shame most people don't have their bullshit detectors working.
