william.scherk Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) The story in the LA Times is a surprise to me. I didn't think the kind of temperatures in LA yesterday were possible in California anywhere outside of Death Valley.L.A.'s hottest day ever"It was so hot Monday that it broke the all-time record — and the weatherman's thermometer.The National Weather Service's thermometer for downtown Los Angeles headed into uncharted territory at 12:15 p.m. Monday, reaching 113 degrees for the first time since records began being kept in 1877."Glad I live in the Cold White North where hot is 35 degrees (Celsius). If nature is asking us to obey her, what does she want us to do besides turn up the air-conditioning?

DavidMcK Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 As a reference for those who want to know more, I recommend a book called 'Climatism!' by Steve Goreham. If you are confused by the science and want a concentrated presentation of some of the environmental issues, the first four chapters are priceless. The rest of the book (I've read 3/4 so far) is also interesting and very skeptical of AGW (man made global warming). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
