Ya I think the same thing happened in 2008. I think it has to do with the 11 year solar cycle and we are now at the minimum. Other parts of the world have been burning up though and as we rise from the minimum to the maximum things should just get hotter. It would be nice to be wrong though.creepycoug said:
Not here. Not even close. Mildest summer I can remember in the PNW. Fire season has been negligible.Gwad said:https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/15/climate/hottest-july-noaa.html
United States government scientists on Thursday confirmed that July was the hottest month on record, edging out the previous record-holder, July 2016.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced that the global average temperature last month was 62.1 degrees Fahrenheit (16.7 degrees Celsius). That is 0.05 degree Fahrenheit higher than July 2016, and 1.7 degrees higher than the average for the 20th century. -
Chinteresting. I don't remember that summer, but the winter of 2008 was cataclysmic.Gwad said:

A few weird rain/gray days in July and August, but other than that, agree. It's a mid-70s fucking paradise. This, right here, and the fall, is when Seattle earns its rep and loads up credit with its people to get it through the rest.GrundleStiltzkin said:
Been damn near perfect Warshington summer. Mostly warm, never hot.creepycoug said:

I acknowledge that Western Europe got hotter than Hades this summer. As to whether it's a permanent shift or whatever, I have no fucking clue.Gwad said:

My sense of these things is that macro earth trends are well out of our hands. I think we could do better than whacking down the Amazon and polluting the fuck out of the oceans. Things like Fukushima are disastrous and man should endeavor mightily to do better.
With that said, these ideas that we're on some kind of count down clock that some climatologist has figured out to the year, or even the century, strikes me as absurd. But I freely admit I lack the technical education to debate the point. All I can do is look with skepticism at people who have been telling me since I was a teenager that the world is near to its demise. -
These fucks think we can control the weather, global temperatures etc.
They ain't God! -
Same type of extremists who said one could go blind jacking off....creepycoug said:

I remember that. So fucking annoying. You believe that shit when you're a kid. It cast a shadow over some good yanking. But I got over it.PurpleThrobber said:
