WTF??? Maybe Al Gore was Right and Rush was Wrong?

Could we be looking at a new weather paradigm for the future? Today's 113 in my community crushed an ALL TIME record, previously set at 103 in Sept of 1978. That's not just for Oct 9th, but the highest temp ever recorded here.

I'm not sure humans are causing this. Come on...20,000 years ago we had an ice age putting Manhattan Island under a 500' thick ice sheet, and glaciers carving up Yosemite. We weren't using aerosol when that started melting. I think it's a natural earth cycle, but at this rate, we could see some large migrations in the next 500 years.

30" of rain in SC in 24 hours?
Bluefin Tuna caught off the Ventura Channel Islands?
Wahoo caught off Oceanside?
4 years of virtually no rainfall in California?

Soon we'll be moving my avocado trees to Portland.

3,2,1....

in before the move

I would worry more about your car standing up on the driver's door

The virtually no rainfall here for years is not really a new thing.

Bass riff. Very nice. Favorited.

FWIW, I am so out of touch. Just stumbled upon "Eff you, I won't do what you tell me". Cranking it now.

My kids leaving six years ago set me adrift. Last cool song they turned me on to was "Two Trailer park girls go 'round the outside."

I am the walking dead.

Rained in Akron today.

History that we have managed to reconstruct from fossil evidence shows significant swings in global climate patterns over the history of the earth. Nothing we do will change that. Guaranteed that in 1000 years, where we all live will look a lot different.

Saw the first flock of geese today.........they were flying north.

Probably not 1,000 years. Maybe 30,000 years? Regardless, either is a micro tick on the big clock.

My theory is there are so many more azz holes in society every year....that hell is actually coming north - which is why it's getting hotter.

What's your theory?

Where are you?
It's mid 80s in Santa Barbara, CA this week.

[Racerbvd]

71 in FL. right now

[crustychief]

I was up in Oxnard for work but came home last night. It was 102 here.

[Shaun @ Tru6]

It's going to be 75F here on Monday. Boston, mid-October, 75.

But weather isn't climate.

Well, it doesn't have to be a binary condition. It may well be that humans are actually doing something this time, even though it wasn't humans last time.

Midwest has benefited. Great summer weather in the 80s. Plenty of rain fall... Yet less snow for a couple years now...

If California stays dry, eventually people will move out...
