It was 105 in Brownsville on Saturday, that was at 5:00 pm.
I didn't dare go out before then.
Sunday night, it was 97 at 9:00 pm.
Monday morning, it was a breezy 94 with 99% humidity.
So, go yourself.
Forecast 4 days ago for May 27th: 78 degrees.
Current conditions in Chicago:
44 degrees.
Feels like 37.
Expected high: 54.
Yeah, sorry, I'm not buying it.

Wow, Texas is hot?
Really?
That's completely unexpected. Towns closer to the Equator being hotter totally proves the existence of Global Warming.
record highs all across the state last week.
face, it usually gets in the triple digits from July to early September in Brownsville.
The heat is two months early.
face.
Chill man, I was just making a point. THIS IZ SRS THRED.
whether it's happening is not the question, the glaciers are melting much faster than they were 20 years ago...what is in question and up for debate is whether we as humans have any affect on it one way or another...
either way...we are all dead before it matters...but our kids...grandkids...i pray for them...
Of course the earth is changing just like it has since the beginning.
But I think even my kids and grandkids will not see any changes soon for the better. I have a feeling all will break loose and things are going to get much worse before they get any better.
+1, this is my exact opinion on the subject.
30 years ago scientists were convinced we were heading for an ice age.
global warming. the y2k of today.
IMHO, it doesn't really matter since both supporters and opponents of global warming will be long gone when we, if any of us are left, find out the truth.
exactly what the government is BANKing on.
On a side note does the guy in the middle kinda look like mouse?

that's awesome. that will be my next purchase.
Dude, that just isn't true. There are more glaciers growing in size than shrinking. The thoery that man is causing global warming is liberal bull .
It's ing cold as here. If Globabl Warming is true, it won't affect my generation or the next two and I couldn't give two s about them.
Science is not a political thing so just leave it at that. Global warming is one-half of the climatic cycle of warming and cooling. But some scientist attribute some changes to pollutants and while I won't totally dismiss those arguments I feel the evidence has not proven "Global Warming".
An Inconvenient Truth . . . . watch it sometime.
Global warming is already effecting the earth..
A lot of people in the Western U.S. states (and other parts of the world, especially China) depend on snowfall to fill water reservoirs for farming, drinking, etc...in the next few years (yes, in our lifetimes) we could see this water resource depleted as avg. global temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere increase and that is when the real starts...
that was a funny slide show. especially when he used the forklift. when his home was exposed as not being global friendly right after his slide show was released that totally made me think he doesn't practice what he was preaches. i can't believe the jackass won a nobel peace prize.
These temperature anomalies right now have more to do with the jetstream and with a high-pressure system than they do with global warming or global cooling.
Weather is not climate. Despite my reiterating that several thousand times, I just don't think most people have the cognitive capacity to comprehend it.
With respect to preventing global warming, unless your goal is just to do something symbolic as a gesture to exculpate yourself before your descendants, you will accomplish nothing. Go politely explain to highly populous developing nations like China and India that while you are allowed to enjoy a comfortable Western lifestyle, they cannot. They need to remain dirt-poor so that their carbon footprint stays small and you can enjoy affluence at their expense. Alternately, you can explain to them that they all need to kill themselves.
I find it astounding how many people have sucked in the "global warming is liberal crap" koolade.
I predict this thread will be moved to the politics section shortly, and that the a certain dishonest hack will attempt to provide some science-y cover for the anti-environmentalist crowd, much in the same way that a certain ex-physics professor does for the 9-11 "truther" movement.
Debates on this stuff always end up badly, and the biggest casualty ends up being common sense.
1) It's all about risk management.
2) If you can't admit that, whatever you believe, there is a possibility that you could be wrong, GTFO and let the grown-ups figure out what to do.
Logical fail.
Being a hypocrite about something doesn't mean that the person is wrong.
If an herion addict told you not to do herion because it is bad for you, can one logically conclude that herion is harmless?
