What is there about 'record breaking' Rs can't understand?

We are in the 90s, waaaaay too hot for me. I think my parents were snow people..... You never know what those snow people are doing on the front lawn while the rest of us are sleeping.

making igloos?

Repukes say there is nothing to hot temps. Theres a shock.

Like Al Gore says... the repukes (nice justin... I like it... ) that think there is no such thing as Global Warming party every Saturday night with those that think the moon landing took place in Nevada or some Hollywood sound stage...

so the same can be said for those that deny that these record hot temperatures have anything to do with our CO2 emissions...

but generally speaking... I find most republicans to be like this when it comes to discussing anything environmental...

and obtw... it's hot here today... currently @ 95... and it's supposed to get hotter tomorrow...

Heres a thought. Repukes think heat attracts brown people. No!!!! Not more brown people!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!! We're affraid of brown people. Brown people just soak up welfare and and and they commit crimes and an and an they shoot white girls and they are terrorists and they kidnapp soldiers an and they come here illegaly and and and they are muslim not christian. Look out brown people everywhere. Attack of the brown people. Theres no such thing as global warming. There is no rise in heat. Where theres heat there is brown people. Oh no not brown people. Get this. I started a new job 3 weeks ago. I work right next to a repukelican. He told me the other day that Clinton was to blame for 911, there is no proof that global warming exists, Dems are to blame for lost smoker rights, Dems started the sin tax on tobacco and alcohol, Dems are the reason for outsourcing jobs, Dems are the reason that child molesters walk free, and everything else in between. I dont think Ill be able to keep this job for long because Im going to choke the shit out of him. I dont scream and yell. Im too damn old for that shit. But its fun to listen to the crap he comes up with. His heroes are Newt, Hannity, Limpball. He accused me of reading propaganda on the daily kos, Democracy Now, Air America, and Cnn. I laughed and said you get yours from Faux News. "Fox News is fair and balanced". "At least they tell the truth". I let him dig his hole deep before I told him I was a liberal. After he told me all these things I told him we wouldnt see eye to eye. He said "why?" Then I told him I was a "LIBERAL"......Ive never seen a smile run away so fast. It was a mastercard priceless moment.

Darn! When did you start working with my brother?

How hot is it here in the "cool mountains" of NC? mid 90s today, and we really need rain. I spent over an hour this morning watering my flowers and trees, and the humidity is high, too.

Scorching U.S.: First Half of 2006 Sets Heat Record

Editor's Note: This story will be updated shortly.

The average temperature for the continental United States from January through June 2006 was the warmest first half of any year since records began in 1895, according to scientists at the NOAA National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C.

The average January-June temperature for the contiguous United States (based on preliminary data) was 51.8 degrees F (11.0 degrees C), or 3.4 degrees F (1.8 degrees C) above the 20th century (1901-2000) average. Five states (Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri) experienced record warmth for the period. No state was near or cooler than average.

Last month was the second warmest June on record and nationally averaged precipitation was below average. In the West, 11 states were much warmer than average. Only five states (Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and South Carolina) were cooler than normal for the month.

The continuation of below normal precipitation in certain regions and much warmer-than-average temperatures expanded moderate-to-extreme drought conditions in the contiguous U.S. However, much of the Northeast experienced severe flooding and record rainfall during the last week of June. The global surface temperature was second warmest on record for June.

In June, 45 percent of the contiguous U.S. was in moderate-to-extreme drought (based on the Palmer Drought Index), an increase of 6 percent from May, while 27 percent was in severe-extreme drought (up from 20 percent in May). Additionally, from January through June, warm, dry conditions spawned more than 50,000 wildfires, burning more than 3,000,000 acres in the contiguous U.S. and Alaska, according to the National Interagency Fire Center.
