its hot (a rant)

[Ripcord]

Fuck you sun, Fuck you global warming, Fuck you humidity.
Fuck you nyc subways that remind me 8 times a day what it feels like to stand around in the dark lord of hell's steaming filthy anal cavity with a million stinking strangers.

seriously the only thing I can do is stand front of the a/c for 5 min before walking outside and pretend I have circle of winter buff on me but that shit gets dispelled in like 2 seconds.

tomorrrows gonna be worse.

[Shannacore]

It's pleasant in Albuquerque today. It finally rained yesterday.

40 degrees out with 40% humidity. aaaah.

[karsten]

man, it's chilly and 68 in germany today, maybe i should put on a sweater or pullover!

[Shannacore]

It is not 40 degrees out, it is 81 degrees out. Durrrr, typo.

[Bardalicious]

Al Gore would be proud.

[Barkingturtle]

Heat index has hit 110 degrees every day for a week here in the sweaty taint of America: Des Moines, Iowa. Today's is supposed to be ninety degrees and it's going to feel mild.

[Nedala]

In b4 "global warming is a conspiracy".

[Ektar]

global warming is not what people think it is. This is one of the largest things blown out of proportion in the "common knowledge" of today's society.

Global warming is actually about.. .04 degrees C a year I think? So while it is an occurring phenomenon, and does have potentially harmful consequences, you, as an individual, will never notice it in your lifetime.

[Ektar]

lol nedala you got it in just in time!

[Dantes]

Oregon and Washington are isolated from this heat wave. You can barely even call it Summer here in the NW.

[deneauth]

Global warming is now called "Climate Change"

Heyyy not bad heat index of 112 .. go for a bike ride and just drink lots of water okay no problem... 45-60% humidity throughout the day is doable.

What the fuck is this? I've NEVER seen a cloud start at yellow and end up in black.. that's ridiculous. I also want to go see that storm.

Usually when it's 100 degrees with 95% humidity that causes it to rain.....not this time apparently. (mean here in NY)

According to Erik Cartman it was Kyle that took down the twin towers

Where is it 95% humidity in the middle of the day? I see 50-55% in Buffalo and New York, New York. If it were 95% you'd be living in a sauna.

[M.Bison]

In florida it regularly hits 95-100% humidity in the middle of the day. It's fucking terrible. D:

Yesterday in Wisconsin. With the heat index, it got up to 128 degrees in places. No bullshit. And people say it's cold up here.

85degrees with a 67% humidity here in central maine. Played golf all morning and I was SOAKED in sweat.

Anyone who says it isn't hot up north doesn't understand humidity

thats the past month here...still havn't broke any of the records of "hottest days" set 40 years ago though.

[Nytewind TP]

Yea, 108 yesterday/105 today here in Chicago. BRING ON THE DAMN MUTHA F'ING SNOW!

[Feachie]

I'm in los angeles, where we have plenty of mexicans, homosexuals, smog, crime, and gangs. but please... what is this "humidity" you speak of? :confused:

gogo dodgers

[Ektar]

when I was in 5th grade a teacher of mine was going to reveal the long-awaited answer of his favorite new york baseball team.. the yankees or mets. everyone was waiting. WAITING. Then the day finally arrived. He ripped off his coat revealing the uniform of his favorite team! The brooklyn dodgers.

[Shannacore]

haha, good.

[Ektar]

what do you like the dodgers or something? you're like equidistant from brooklyn and LA.

if he did that to my class, he would have gotten made fun of for being old :p

[Feachie]

and then beaten near his car with an axe handle for not being down for the home team

just based on what we do to san francisco fans :D

[Ektar]

lol well his age wasn't really a secret, and pretty much the punchline. plus we were.. idk how old are 5th graders? he probably coulda taken us.

[Shannacore]

My city's AAA team is the feeder team for them

[Ektar]

WELL THAT'S A PERFECTLY REASONABLE EXPLANATION, ISN'T IT?!

[Vendar]

chicago has been near 100degrees every day this week, maybe earlier, i cant remember anymore thanks to this mind warping heat.

need a big gnome rain dance in front of the Daley Center.



possibly a snow dance... but im not yet willing to shovel again, so meh

Global warming

[Tasslehofp99]

Yeah the past 3 days have been brutally humid in New York, I'm not in the city thank god though. Long Islands pretty bad as well, I've been avoiding any un-air conditioned areas.


BTW -- Global warming is fake. The earths climate works in natural cycles, maybe we speed it up by about .00000000000000000000000000000000001%....GO BUY A PRIUS! save the world....pfft yeah right.

[Tasslehofp99]

rofl at the "Young greenhouse effect" tag

[Lelroni]

It's been hot here in KS too ;(, we got some rain last night though, I'm sure it'll dry up within the hour

Today's high: 101
Current temp: 103
still a few hours to go til the high heat of the day. lol when that happens~

[Feachie]

getting hot here too, few weeks ago and it was all 60's and 70's. current is 76 with 50% humidity, high 77, tomorrow 82, sun 84, mon 82

say what you want about LA, but the weather is amazing :)

[Fist_The_Lord]

Remember folks, beat the heat, not the meat.

[Fist_The_Lord]

Oh what the hell, beat the meat. It's fucking hot.

hot? my fucking ass come live in FL if you wanna feel real humidity

+1 checking in from seattle fuckin cold and rainy as shit here

This made me laugh. Tell that to the ice core researchers that provide most of what we know about the history of the earths climate up to about 400,000 years ago.

Yes, the earth does heat and cool in cycles. No educated chemist or climate researcher will argue that point. I'm really interested to know where your idea of the percent contribution attributed to humans came from.

Since 1880, scientists have measured an average global atmospheric temperature change of 0.6° C (Gr. 1). We are currently near the peak of the global heat trend and if the temperature cycle continues sometime between now and the next thousand years or so the earth should start to cool. Now, while that will seem to concur with the assumption that global warming is natural, what is not natural is the correlation between other factors that influence the temperature change.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂), is a gas produced by living organisms, such as ourselves, and through combustion reactions such as burning something. (We also exhale the gas as well but that is not considered a significant source). In the atmosphere carbon dioxide acts as a heat insulator retaining the heat that makes it to Earth from the sun. This is known as the "greenhouse" effect.

Now, by studying pockets of air that are trapped miles deep in the polar ice caps from hundreds of thousands of years ago, scientists have been able to study the contents of the air and the average global temperature change. There can be seen a direct correlation between the amount of carbon dioxide and particle dust in the atmosphere in respect to the average global temperature at a given time. (graph to follow) In an example such as the Vostok Ice Core Data, it is easy to see the relationship between the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the average global temperature change. They are almost identical plots. Inversely, the highest levels of dust in the atmosphere correlate with the lowest points on the change in carbon dioxide and global temperature change. Some of you may be wondering what atmospheric dust has to do with global temperature. If you have ever seen the result of a large volcanic eruption it will be easy to understand. When a volcano erupts, it throws massive amount of dirt/dust particles into the atmosphere turning the sky dark. This dust essentially blocks the suns visible rays from hitting the Earth's surface. It reflects the light/heat. This has a cooling effect. So as the graph shows, the more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the hotter the temperature gets as more heat is retained. As the levels of dust increase, the Earth cools itself as more light/heat is reflected.

Animals and natural organic processes produce varying amount of carbon dioxide and have been the major contributors throughout history. In the late 1800's, our civilization went through the industrial revolution and began burning fossil fuels at an expedited rate. As a result of this, each year more and more carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere at a rate that is unmatched by any natural process on Earth. The earth has one major countermeasure to the buildup of carbon dioxide - photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is used by plant life to produce sugar for food and release fresh oxygen gas. When you take into account the mass amount of deforestation we have seen in the past 100 years, it is easy to see that we are reducing the amount of natural air scrubbers. So by this we are not only increasing the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere, but we are reducing the amount of organic life that can remove the carbon dioxide through a natural process.

Now, some will still argue the natural highs and lows in the global temperature change. What I've done on the Vostok chart is marked the current level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in ppmv (parts per million volume) to scale. It far exceeds the levels produced by natural means over the last 400,000 years. I've also included a chart of the global temperature change from 1880 to 2005 to illustrate where the 0.6°C average change comes from (Gr. 2). I welcome any intelligent counter arguments and I expect to get flamed (RnF forum) but I figured some might enjoy this. So, buying a Prius isn't going to save the world but this is at least food for thought. The more you know....
