[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a grip.  The average temps have barely increased.  You’re incredibly dramatic and you should stop watching the news.  If climate change wasn’t on the news you wouldn’t even know it was happening. [/quote]

I think you're an ostrich with her head in the sand.  You are incorrect.  The average temperature is rising annually.  We have had four of the hottest days across the globe this summer alone.

If you think the temps have "barely increased" then you are not paying attention.  I have friends who grew up in New England and live there now.  When they were growing up, you had a small handful of days each summer where you needed AC.  Now, you need it a few days a week for the entire summer.  There are many people who don't have AC an they say that they can't remember so many days that they've needed it and are forced to get room AC units.  Across the south from Florida to Arizona, they have more triple-digit temperature days than not each summer.  Arizona hit 115 degrees this week and had four days that had temps over 110. 1988 was the first time in recorded history that Arizona had broken 100 degrees and now it is regularly over 110.  That means a rise of 10 degrees for the high temperatures over 35 years.  And you think that the climate has "barely changed"?   My brother has lived in Houston since 1981.  We were talking yesterday and he said the daytime high got to 109.  When he moved there, the first 100 degree day was late in August.  Now it comes in June.

The weather has changed dramatically over the last four decades and the climate rise is accelerating.  You are ignorant and apathetic.[/quote]
