Holy Jesus It's Hot

[Doctor Destiny 41]

Jesus it's hot out. I'm sitting in my own house marinating in sweat because my air conditioning sucks on the upstairs portion. I'm not even moving and I'm sweating. And I'm under an excessive heat warning until Saturday night! I guess it could be worse though. There are portions of the US having seen 100 degrees plus for over a month now and no rain for the last several months. I could go for a nice thunderstorm right about now...

[Inferno 22]

Protip: move to the coast. Any coast, really. Islands are good, too.

[Plok 327]

I've been waking up very early in the past few days because even the nights are hot here in Croatia. Luckily, as of tomorrow, we'll have some refreshment.

[Guest Rabbit]

Man. I love the West coast. I'm going to go put some pants on.

[Ferret 0]

****ing hotter than hell here in Minnesota. It's really humid and then it's like an ice bath inside my house.

[sith_wampa 6]

We've had a few weeks where the temp was consistently 95 but nothing too bad here in Mass.

[Ferret 0]

Yea, it's currently 33C in Minnesota right now as I type this. Not only that, but the humidity makes it feel like it's 43C.

[Luk3us 63]

Its a nice 11 degrees here, or 51 F to you yanks.

[Sonic 296]

Screw those temps for you guys in your summer months right now. Its now a typical cold winter for us down under....

Haha cold winter... Massachusetts and Minnesota winters are waaaaaay colder than that.

[Plok 327]

Now I couldn't sleep because of an epic thunderstorm. Jeez.

 

Man. I love the West coast. I'm going to go put some pants on.

You had 14 °C today. Saw your weather on Google Earth.

[Inferno 22]

 

And of course, dutchies are still complaining. Nature of the beast, I guess.

[PurpleGaga27 40]

It looks like global warming in the US may have been affected by this year's El Nino and La Nina mix.

 

But still California has the most hottest days of the year and it doesn't get colder until after October.

Hey, I'm trying to self-teach myself the metric system and all that crap. :3

 

Besides, I rarely use fahrenheit. :/

Please tell me you don't believe that media rubbish they throw at everyone. Gobal Warming due to human intervention is minimal, and most likely about as real as Santa Claus. Such reports of human's causing Global Warming are from so-called Government employed expert scientists. False facts forced upon the sheeple by government and corporate controlled media for the interest of capital gain. It's **** that sells and people buy it.

 

Now I dunno about anyone else, but sure we've had the odd short heat wave around the planet (like every year). But contrast it to the fact that in the UK, the summer months have actually been colder and wetter than 10 years ago, and the Spring months are the one's that are hotter. Our Winters are the coldest on record, we're experiencing more snow here than in 50 years. Surely a planet that was heating up due to Human Neglect would see a clear statistical correlation. In other words extreme rise in temperatures gradually for the past 10-20 years reaching its hottest peak in mid-June. Warmer winters (not colder), where snow should be something we only see in countries lucky enough to be very close to the Arctic circle. etc. etc.

 

Scientifically, you want to look at where the planet's position is in respect to the sun, and just as importantly, where the entire Solar System is in respect to the rest of the galaxy. Anyone who believes that the planet remains on a constant axis is wrong, the earth actually wobbles which is enough to make slight changes to weather patterns. The same goes for the planet's mean orbital distance from the sun. In 2009, our mean orbital distance diminished. We are talking of small values here (1.000016 au to 0.999998 au from January to June 2009, a difference of 2,700 km (1/5 of Earth's diameter). Plus there are many other variable I could go into that affect the delicate balance of this planet which would turn it into an essay.

 

It's 14C outside right now... it's summer and it's almost 10am. Global Warming is a natural phenomena. Anyway, let's leave it to this man to speak the truth.

Better watch out Saracen, you'll have those wingnuts from the left wing saying you're in the pocket of big business! Incidentally, it's the left that pushes the global warming agenda more than big business. THANKS AL GORE, you egregiously pompous douche. So, as such, global warming, elitist environmentalism, the green movement and hybrid cars can all go **** themselves. So tired of those overpriviliged assholes trying to dictate everyone else's behavior. I could rant on and on about the whole issue, but am I the only who's noticed that the environmental and green movements are comprised entirely of privileged people? I sure as hell don't see any starving Africans bitching about the issues that are "harming the planet."

[Plok 327]

Same as the PETA and similar douchebags.

That's probably because for Africans it's not their primary concern. But don't go all morality on me, because you don't really give a **** about those Africans either. The thing is, we only start caring for other people once we actually meet them. The indifference of people on this planet comes mainly from misunderstanding or a complete lack of understanding, as far as I'm concerned.

 

That being said, I think Saracen makes a fair point, though I don't know his sources, so that's kinda hard to tell.

[Saracen 16]

The left can screw themselves. Problem is these days though, Liberalism in my eyes is a façade for a wholly right wing agenda. That's a whole new can o' worms right there though. We could go from outrageous conspiracy theories, to governments covering up real truths like what Fluoride really does to people instead of protecting their teeth. That's a good one right there.

You mean like CERN being Gagged by those higher up in order to maintain and support the Man made global warming agenda. It's something I've only just seen before posting this... But it's exactly what I was talking about above.

You can pull alternative scientific findings off anywhere on the web. Same with News. Or even economic data that claims that America's 14.5 Trillion debt was last recorded in 2008 before the recession, and that the figure is closer to that of $27 trillion, or even closer $50+ Trillion. It's all out there, you just have to approach all information with an open mind, find and research the facts, and come to an individual conclusion.

 

People can believe Fox/CNN or BBC/Sky News if they like, they can hide under thick blankets of government and corporate controlled rubbish. But if a wider truth is worth finding, then that's what you do. But it's still important take everything with a grain of salt. The source I provided above is an insight into how the whole agenda works. Real scientists get the facts, but it's picked apart, played down, put in the plausible deniability tray, or where ever the powers that be see fit. This is the beauty of the internet. There may be a lot of BS about, but there's actually some great truth out there that's more true than the wool named truth, that's pulled over your eyes.

 

This is why I support the Anonymous agenda and their "plan"... They've finally got around to my way of thinking, and they're doing it at a time where those at the top want to censor the internet... It'll just be good to rid the corruption that plagues us at the top levels. So maybe, just maybe, we can actually just have some journalistic honesty from commendable sources. That's what so-called democracy is about after all...

 

So in the case of all this global warming crap, we should be told that all this crazy crap going on with mother earth is natural, instead of man made... Unless you like conspiracies, then it's a laugh to research what HAARP apparently does with the weather and earthquakes. Although myself with an open mind is curious as to what benefits a ionospheric research program really has. But that's a whole new topic, and now I'm just muttering.

I've seen a lot of bull**** and a lot misunderstanding, so far. My conclusion is that people are not necessarily bad or good, it's just that people like to believe they know what they're doing and like to believe other people know what they're doing. But the truth of the matter is, nobody really knows what they're doing. And I think that is quite a scary thought for people.

 

I'd also like to add that this is purely my interpretation of what is going on in this world.

I agree with their way of thinking, but their method is questionable.

I wasn't trying go all moralistic on anyone. I was making a point that it's the elitists who try to dictate everyone's behavior while forgetting the effects their ideas will have on the rest of the world's population. Greenpeace and other wingnuts oppose GE crops, which are at the point where they're able to feed more and more people. I don't oppose GE crops; I support them wholeheartedly. However, this is but one example of the environmental movement's elitist agenda.

Interesting that you brought up Fluoride. All I've seen that was conclusive is that there is a little too much in the public water supply at this time and the levels are going to be brought down. All the research I've done also concludes that it takes massive amounts of Fluoride to cause the damage other reports are claiming. I really doubt this is the work of any government stooges out to ruin everyone's lives.

The problem I have with "alternative" sources is that they're just as fallible as government, or other official, sources. Take everything, especially on the Web, with a grain of salt. Especially when it comes to certain issues where people are guaranteed to use incorrect science to prove a point. And this goes for both sides, not just the alternative sources or official sources.

As much as it would be nice, but Anonymous will never succeed. As soon as they're a threat, someone will be quietly taken down and the whole thing will crumble. But who knows. Maybe they will succeed and we'll see a slight improvement in the integrity of journalists and politicians. But this is just a mother****in' pipe dream. Truth be told, all you need to do is eliminate lobbyists and this **** will start to dry up.

Hahahhaha you say pipe dream right before you describe a pipe dream. Nice

 

Hot.. as god damn always here in Texas. And we've severely lacking rain, major fires previously.
