Today was officailly the 100th day over 100 degrees in Wichita Falls, Texas. The old record was 79 days over 100.

The average hourly temperature here was 93.6° for August the old record for August being 91.1°.

Not only has it been hot but it has been record dry also. In my guage at the house I have recorded 2.3 inches since October 2010.

I can't even imagine the horrors the local wildlife are going through as there is almost no water anywhere. Red River has been dry for weeks. Crossed the Brazos at Seymour today and it is dry.

Coyotes are gathering around mother cows waiting for them to give birth so they can eat the newborns.

I wonder if this weather across the country will cause folks to give more credence to the global warming business. joe b.

Anyone with common sense will realize that this is what we in Texas call weather.

Joe,

Whenever I read about this Global Warming I have to laugh. This is one of my pet peeves!

I remember.... because it was really unusual for me...... that the scientists were saying back in the 50's that we were coming out of a mini ice-age. If this was/is true then the Earth warming up would be a consequence of this.

Plus don't forget.... Why is Greenland called Greenland since back when it was discovered it was a lot warmer there and not covered with anywhere near the ice that's there now. Why did the Norse abandon it if it was suitable for living? The temp.s got colder and it got cold enuf that crops wouldn't grow.

Then of course we have the problem if there is Global Warming and the North Pole ice cap is melting why is the South Pole ice cap growing at a faster rate than the North Pole is melting?

Then we have the fact that back in the early days of the country everyone burned wood& coal, the latter being the great bugaboo of the environmentalists today. I remember every year or two my Dad washed the side of the house down to get rid of the soot. Maybe all that soot and carbon dioxide is offset by the burning of natural gas today. Of course there were fewer people back then, but it does get you wondering.

Then of course it is well known, thru geology, that the Earth goes thru climate cycles every 10,000 yrs. or so, and within that cycle there are more cycles. So, where are we in those cycles today?

So as far as I'm concerned there has to be more evidence than the inventor of the internet puts forth to make a believer of his ideas out of me.

Yesterday the tempurature in northern Wisconsin was 82. This morning it was 40. Tonight it is suposed to fall into the upper 20's and light snow. I vote for global cooling. Or as they say in Wisconsin, if you don't like the weather, wait until tomorrow, it will change. I have lived here long enough to know it will all even out. If we didn't have weather we would have to complain about the politcians.

Global warming, human caused or otherwise, has been decisively shown to be a hoax and a fraud.  The Brits' University of East Anglia was the repository and processor of all the data that was gathered re: world wide temps. A guy named Jones was in charge of it. He has admitted on numerous public occasions, including a BBC-TV interview, that he and others skewed the reporting of the data to “prove” that global warming was occurring. It was all intended to frighten a gullible public into rolling over and giving government more control over energy production and use.  The release of a huge number of e-mails that had been circulated amongst the “climate scientists” who were working on the project and knew their numbers did not add up, but were pushing an agenda, provided the smoking gun that most thinking people figured must be there.  That release of e-mails, which the legacy media continue to try to ignore, is what got Mr. Jones onto the hot seat.

Since then, anyone who continues to blather on about the danger of global warming is either foolish or has not been paying attention. Whichever the case, they have effectively disqualified themselves from credible participation in the debate.

"Global warming” is a typical leftist program: It does not work as described.

Good shooting! RT

Thanks to these eminent climatologists, the “global warning” hoax/conspiracy has been exposed. Now that's out of the way. (Pete; You might be interested in “Greenlanders” by Jane Smiley) joe b. “A fool never lets facts intrude on an opinion.” Winston Churchill

Yep, the Neanderthals knew about global warming 20,000 years ago when then the current glaciers were disappearing and the weather was getting hot. I think the same Neanderthal mentality is still prevalent today distorting facts to make claims to back their own greedy agenda, especially the king of the Neanderthals, Al Gore!

I heard an old Texan saying this surely is a hot spell, Texas has had them before and Texas is sure to have them again. That's Texas.

Joe,

I don't know if your quote about fools was directed at me or not, but the facts I quoted are all a matter of public record, so if you were referring to me then I'm in illustrious company of a lot of people with more knowledge of global warming issues than you and me put together.

And yes I've heard of Jane Smiley but don't know what a novel of the 14th Cent. Norse in Greenland has to do with global warming, since at best you might be able to call it historical fiction, which also seems to be the expertise of the inventor of the internet.

I'm surely not going to say that the Earth isn't warming up but there is WAY to much evidence to say we need a lot more study as to where the cause lies. My personal opinion is that we're putting way to much wgt. on humanity as being the only cause. I think we may be contributing, but the natural cyclical swings of nature far outweigh what us puny humans are doing. In the history of the planet us humans wouldn't even be considered a speed bump in the amount of time we've had a chance to make any kind of difference.

A friend of mine lives in a small villige in alaska and he told me in an email that the gardens all failed because it was so cold. This does not sound like global warming to me. Perhaps Al Gore can go up there and blow some of his hot air on them.

Jim,

The thing that really gets me is that when we have a cold Winter or cool Summer you never see anything in our area liberal paper about global warming. But just let us have an above normal Winter or Summer and the liberal news is all over it about how global warming is now gonna get us all..... You just wait and see! :-)

Wasn't the drought in the 1930's caused by global warming? I know it caused the (Dust Bowl). My Northern Nevada weather has been a little cooler than normal and we just had a couple of days of thunder showers.

Because I said so!

Brent,

Just gets me wondering how much of this global warming is political.

By the way didn't I hear recently on the news that the drought and heat in Texas now is worse than it was during the 30's? And up here in Iowa we've got barely over a 100 for the first time in something like 5 or 6 years. I think we're in for it now, altho two years ago we had an above normal amount of snow that Winter.

I wish Mother Nature would get her act together and make up her mind. But I guess that's just like a women!

Anybody notice how we're always being faced with some 'boogie-man'? Always something. Russia/cold war (like they were ever going to launch ICBMs at us. I was ducking under my desk at school). Khadafy, good for a nice long boogie-man run. Sadam Hussein, global warming, etc. I think something stinks and we're being manipulated out of our MONEY. I believe “it's” Always about money. Gore is a genuis, look how much he's made. That's the bottom line. Right or wrong isn't even the issue, it's how many prople you can convince and control.

Thanks Pete, it was in me and had to come out! I do tend to think everything is a conspiracy, sometimes I might get carried away. But, back to the OP, on the news it looks like Texas is a living hell. Probably gonna take several years of nice weather to recover from this one. it just reinforces the Texas thing, everything is bigger, even the natural disasters. Here in The Big Valley in sunny California we're having a fairly mild summer. Usually 100+ is the norm for a couple months, not this year. 75 miles up the hill from here is river canyons carved by glaciers not so long ago and travelled by Jedidiah Smith. The glaciers will return, just a matter of time, the northern US will be in an ice age. Then Texas will be real nice.

Turner,

Nite before last the northern part of the state had record lows for the date. But we could use some rain that we're getting a bit of this morning. Beans look OK but the corn was past the point where what we got the other week wasn't going to help the yield any.

Speaking of the next ice age coming soon to an area near you. According to the experts the edge of the Wisconsin lobe ended about 20 miles South of town, and before that we were at the bottom of a huge lake(?). And before that before the Earth got tilted on it's axis to it's present position we were a whole lot further South than we are now.

So stick around folks. If you don't like the weather now in a coupla hundred centuries things will be different. Trust me!

tturner53 I saw a blog a few years back about a military man that had worked at the HAARP station in Alaska. He claimed that when the military had done research there, that they had blown a hole in the Ionosphere with concentrated high-frequency radio waves while trying to manipulate weather. He claims this is the cause of global warming with a weak spot in the Ionosphere allowing more sunlight along with sun radiation into the lower atmosphere. Sounded credible to me, especially with the government using Al Gore for damage control putting the blame on us!

     Well, gentlemen, that summer is coming to a close.  Here (around Amarillo) we have had 2 days of rainy weather.  It's still very,very dry drought conditions but, the temperature has broken.  Today was about 90 at the highest, dropping into the sixties at night.  We're having some very cool mornings, below the perfect 74 degrees.

     72coupe, you hang in there, it's getting some better.
