[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Austin. We will likely have more than 60 days over 100 this summer. Never happened before. It is miserable.[/quote]

+1. I went to UT in the 1990s. Summers were hot but not like they are now.

Last August, I was able to swim in the water off Maine fairly comfortably without a wetsuit. 20 years ago, it was too cold for me to swim in the same spot without a wetsuit.

Anecdotal, yes, but the data backs up our observations.[/quote]

We have a family camp in Maine on a small lake. I hadn't been in 10 years when I went last summer. The difference was astounding - in temperature, the wind, the landscape.[/quote]

Or maybe your bodies are older and your temperature tolerance is different?[/quote]

Yeah that's it. Can't be the climate change.[/quote]

The climate is changing and it always has. We are not in the ice age anymore. If there’s a real earth scientist - I am happy to have a conversation about it. Things like Al Gore’s movie and everything I see in the press doesn’t go far back enough. It’s too alarmist and only goes back to “recorded history.”  That’s not enough. You have to go back millions of years. The earth always has warming and cooling cycles. If you compare the ice bubbles in Antarctica and sediment in the sea layers you get a warming and cooling cycle over millions of years and we are in a warming cycle now but it doesn’t have to be as alarmist as it is.

Even if it’s a normal cycle, our human civilization won’t survive in the way that we know it.[/quote]
