The good news, not to be political, but conservation awareness has increased thanks to high gas prices. Folks are beginning to talk more about emissions standards and emissions trading. Also conservation and alternative sources of energy. We're going in the right direction...albeit slowly.....
Again, no political rant intended.
I'm not sure what any of that has to do with a single relatively hot summer. Do you honestly believe that higher gas prices will result in cooler summers? From a scientific standpoint only.
On a more important note, the last time we had a summer with record heat we were rewarded with an exceptionally cold and snowy winter. Now that's something to write home about!
The discussion was about a record warm summer and I read an inference that it had to do with global warming. I was speaking to efforts to curb it.....
I guess I knew that.
Nowadays anything warm is due to global warming. Soon, folks will complain about global warming if their soup is too hot.
Global warming is a scientific fact. Whether it's just a normal global cycle or whether it's caused by factories, power plants and our cars should be a moot questions at this point.
