I also remember having hot weather but nothing like what we are having now, not day after day of 90 degree plus temperatures. In the first 6 years we have now been here, we used the central air maybe one to three times a year. This year it has been on some daily for almost three weeks, and it is only mid July, not even the hot part of the year which should be starting right about now.
No one says this is typical, no one has ever seen anything like it---but it could be just an anomaly, I suppose. However, anyone that reads knows that scientist worldwide are screaming that this is not right and it is a sign of global climate change, it is predictable, expected, man-made and downright scary. Even some of the old school deniers are beginning to wonder if these extremes are normal or are they really just some 100 year anomaly.
There just seems to be a need to at least have the mainstream press begin to mention the relationship with climate change so just in case there is a human relationship, just maybe something can be done. No such luck. The deniers get more attention and the mainstream news, like the one above printed right here in Portage County never once mentions climate change as an issue. Not a good sign. Is it possible when it is figured out that maybe there will be a revolution of sorts---or just a panic.
