I hope that your A/C works, and that you can afford to pay the electricity bill.
Somewhere in the world, there will be a record high temperature.
But as the graph shows, the percentage of days exceeding 90 degrees is not going up. This year so far is the 23rd lowest on record.
In 1936, a high of 114 °F was reached in Wisconsin. Air conditioning had just been invented and was available in only a few upscale businesses. In Arizona, a wet blanket in front of a window in a thick-walled adobe house was said to be the native solution.
There are also record low temperatures somewhere. Especially in central Europe. There is heavy snowfall in the Alps in mid-July.
A heat wave or unseasonal snowfall is “only weather.” But once again the climate alarmists’ predictions of extreme heat waves and drought have been proved false.
The very costly “climate” efforts virtuously pursued in many communities—bike lanes, “renewable” energy, “road diets”—will not mitigate heat waves. But they will increase your electricity bill. Luckily, most Americans still have a car and can drive to a cooler place for a respite.
Bad weather and other hazards will always occur. To protect ourselves and adapt requires a strong economy, which requires abundant, affordable energy. This needs to be a national priority.
Additional Information:
- Global climate models of CO2 caused warming are contradicted by real observations, according to Grok 3 beta and human scientists.
- Earth’s energy balance is an invention, not a scientific deduction.
- 20 million weather balloons disprove climate model assumptions.
