Have to change the term so people stop trying to find a loophole to deny it.


It's real, but you'll survive as will most of he world. The doomsday predictions are mainly fiction.

Who denies that the climate changes over time? It has always changed. It seems it's the Left who thinks it should stay the same. Regardless, a warm week or summer in one area of the country is not an argument for long term warming.

Hasn't been hot in Dallas yet. Been in the upper 80s maybe 90 for the highs. When the Sun starts setting, it's very pleasant outside. But Summer's Coming

40s

Just north of here had 10 inches of gum ball sized hail.

I went to the lake wearing my Elmer Fudd hunting hat with ear flaps hat and ski jacket and the wind was so bad I left after a brief walk.

Some lady from out of town behind me in the grocery checkout asked me if it's always this cold.

I didn't mention that the kids played in the snow last memorial day.

I don’t know why you would prefer 95 degree (100 heat index) with 70% humidity


Well, 95 degrees with 70% humidity would be like a 120 degree heat index. I don't think anybody is saying they like that when saying they like summer.

Any tips from yall baws on keeping a particular bedroom cool during this heat? I got the AC on 72 or so, but this one bedroom in the house seems to stay much hotter. Looking for options other than a window ac unit, but that might be the best option.

See.


So worried this might turn into a political issue that you are afraid to admit the Earth is getting hotter.

Doesn't matter whether is is human or just natural, some people just can't admit they have held the wrong belief. Usually those people suffer from identity politics.

Does this look catastrophic to you?
And it was hotter in the 30's than it is now, and during the middle ages. Look it up.

I moved to the mountains to avoid 100 degrees and roaches. Thanks for reminding me why I am here.

I didn't say that, you are putting words in my mouth. The Earth appears to be warming. But it will warm for decades or more, then cool for decades or more for the remainder of its existence. My pointing out that a hot summer or hot month doesn't prove anything would apply to people who claim that a cold month or winter disproves warming.


You seem to want to lump your opponents on this issue into one simple version in order to make it easy for you argue against.

I think we hit 75 degrees yesterday in Minnesota. It’s been a cold and wet spring. Today it’s 49 and raining again.
