OT: Global Warming? Record temps today in CA, USA

We hit 115° here today. They said it was a mere 107° on the news but we have two accurate gauges locally.

107° was supposed to be a record.

Power plants are shutting down under the strain of demand.

I expect the UV levels were extreme.

I am 100% sure its due to global warming. In about 100 years we might have to adapt to temps. in the 120°'s. Don't believe me? I don't care.

Though I am sure we will all blow each other up before that happens *cough cough North Korea cough cough*

well, here in queensland it's been around 30c (dont know farenheit) and it's still technically winter

we're sub-tropical but that still seems warm for winter - global warming is right I think

glu · Post by **glu** » Wed Aug 23, 2006 1:54 am

that's 86 °F.

Here is ATX

Yesterday was 103 °F / 39 °C

Today a couple degrees cooler, but you can't really tell.

so riddle me this: the earth's temperature is rarely static, always going up and down. throughout most of the planet's history, the earth has been way, way hotter than now. so why should i be surprised that the earth is currently warming somewhat? if you could prove the warming is the result of human processes, and is likely to cause more harm than the cost of trying to stop the warming, i might buy in. but i'm not sure how you can prove the cause is human where the earth warms of its own (yes, i know about the hockey stick, etc.).

sorry, can't resist.
