What Global Warming?
Record temperature in Sacramento yesterday = 93. We're supposed to hit 97 or so today and possibly even 100 tomorrow. Is this revenge for the relatively mild summer? For my arrogance in thinking "oh, I can handle this weather, it's really not as hot here as everyone warned"?
Reality check - it's mid-October. The leaves should be turning from green to gold and orange and crimson. The chill in the air should wake us each morning. Tanks and T-shirts should be happily ensconced in their drawers for their winter hibernation.
So why have I been wearing summer clothes lately? And why am I suspecting that I may have to resort to cranking on the a/c today, October 13th, when we haven't needed a/c for at least the past month?
Hmm. Perhaps, just perhaps, it may have something to do with all of the nasty things we humans have been doing to the environment for decades. Makes the Kyoto Agreement sound quite reasonable, despite George W's refusal to sign.
Does the phrase "Global Warming" ring a bell???

Well, as part of your Left Side Posse, I must agree as temps in my area haven't been that drastic, but I should be in light sweaters and jackets in the evening, not in short sleeves only to come home and turn the fan on.
Global Warming is a theory, not a reality. Where have you been? Real science, like weather prediction, is all good, but wacky things like 'Global Warming'... (sigh)
