Global Warming Strikes Again. Summer Temps Plunge In Mid-West.

Bearing a haunting resemblance to January’s brutally cold weather pattern, a deep pool of cool air from the Gulf of Alaska will plunge into the Great Lakes early next week and then ooze towards the East Coast.

The scientific opinion on climate change is that the Earth's climate system is unequivocally warming, and it is extremely likely (at least 95% probability) that humans are causing most of it through activities that increase concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as deforestation and burning fossil fuels. In addition, it is likely that some potential further greenhouse gas warming has been offset by increased aerosols.[1][2][3][4] This scientific consensus is expressed in synthesis reports, by scientific bodies of national or international standing, and by surveys of opinion among climate scientists. Individual scientists, universities, and laboratories contribute to the overall scientific opinion via their peer-reviewed publications, and the areas of collective agreement and relative certainty are summarised in these high level reports and surveys.

Maybe I should have just said that "data is not the plural of anecdote."

don't forget to hydrate and go for your run early in the day. If you're too hot, find a place like a mall or movie theater to go to until it cools off later in the evening. Don't leave your pets in the car and check on your elderly neighbors...

Yes, just don't spend all day sexting and remember to erase your hard drive searches on how to kill a kid in a hot car.

I like to take an event that impacts ~9 states for a few days and suggest that proves or disproves something on a global scale. I'm that kind of fuckhole.
