The longest, strongest heat wave: D.C. records 9th straight 95+ day. Global Warming?

[Crabtownboy]

Notice how many records have been set recently. Y'all can say there is no global warming but our area sure seems to be warming. We are currently having the longest heat wave on record, consecutive days over 95 and there is no end in sight until this coming Monday.

Consider all of the following heat records which have been set since 2010 (and it’s possible I’m missing some)...

* The hottest two summers on record (2010 hottest and 2011 second hottest)

* Two of the top four hottest Junes on record (2010-warmest and 2011-tied for 3rd warmest with 1943)

* Hottest June day and tie for second hottest June day (2012 at 104, and 2010 at 102 tied with June 9, 1874)

* Hottest two Julys (2011 and 2010)

* Hottest month (July 2011)

* Most 90+ degree days in a month (July 2011, 25 days)

* Earliest 100-degree reading in a day (July 6 2010, before noon)

* Longest uninterrupted stretch of temperatures above 100 (July 6, 2010, 7 hours)

* Longest uninterrupted stretch of temperatures above 80 (July 21 to 24, 2011 - over four days)

* Most and second most nights above 80 degrees (7 in 2011 and 4 in 2010)

* Warmest low temperature (84 on July 23 and 24, 2011 tied with July 16, 1983)

* Hottest days so early (102 on June 9, 2011, tied with June 9, 1874) and late (99 on September 24, 2010) in the season

* Most 90+ degree days in calendar year (67 in 2010, tied with 1980)

And when the cold weather records eventually start falling, that'll also be global warming.

And last winter all of the cold records were called weather - not climate.

We had a similar streak in 1988...and nothing like it since. Maybe global warming took 24 years off here

 

[Alcott]

1980 was the hottest summer around here. I remember it was 50+ consecutive days of 100+ temperature.

We had no winter here. It was like a long, long autumn. We had only one skiff of snow and no really cold days.

We will find out what "Global Warming" is someday and people will have nothing to do with it.

It has been hot to be sure--not as hot as it could be. We are not really acclimated and are too accustomed to the creature comforts. Many of us would probably perish without air conditioning.

A lot of this global warming hocus pocus is put out to sell books--put out by AlGoreCo. No doubt man has polluted the planet. The biggest offenders just pay the fines and keep on polluting. It is extremely expensive to do military/industrial complex with little pollution.

There is a periodicity evident in climatology. Sometimes you get ice sometimes you get monsoon; sometime you hot and cold in the same day and night. An interesting surf: the 23 1/2 degree tilt of the earth--how it got there and what effect it has on climate and seasons.

The scripture says the earth and all the works are going to burn up--melt with fervent heat. There is going to be a new heaven and a new earth in righteousness, without the effects of sin and the depravity of man.

Buy stock in gas masks and radiation survey meters. Fukishima is just the tip of the iceberg.

Even so, come Lord Jesus.

Global Whining.

Don't forget that thirty years ago there was talk of a new imminent ice age.

Proof enough.:sleep:

This is where I'm at on this issue. There is global warming, it's undeniable. But it depends on where you set the endpoints for the graph. And I don't think humans are responsible for global warming.

Bingo! Give the man a cigar!
