You are aware that we are all going to cook to death, don't you?


The Heat Wave Scorching the US Is a Self-Perpetuating Monster | WIRED

JUST WEEKS AFTER a third of the US population was hit with air-quality alerts thanks to smoke from climate-change-fueled fires in Canada, 100 million Americans are now under heat alerts. A cap of extra-hot air, known as a heat dome, has settled over the West and South, pushing temperatures relentlessly higher. 
The map below shows excessive heat warnings in purple and heat advisories in orange, and the forecast is that things will get worse through the weekend. Highs will stay above 110 degrees Fahrenheit in Phoenix; California’s Death Valley is flirting with 130 degrees; and Texas’s grid is struggling to keep the AC on. This follows the hottest June on record globally. “With an evolving El Niño event, that is certain to further increase global temperatures,” says Howard Diamond, climate science program manager at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Air Resources Laboratory. (El Niño is a band of warm water that develops in the Pacific Ocean and influences weather around the world.) “Canada has also experienced multiple bouts of prolonged heat this summer, contributing to the worst wildfire season the country has ever seen,” Diamond adds. "People seem blissfully unconcerned that we are all going to be roasted alive."

It's called summer. I predict in three months we will have a drastic cooling trend.

Apparently GOD's judgement is nigher than anyone thought...

I do not give a **** what talking heads say.
People that write for a living churn ****.

Scary pictures show exactly the intent of those stupid words.
**** the weather.
Besides I'd rather bitch about the cold.
Let's get back to this in 5 - 6 months.
