Lived in the PNW my whole life and have never seen anything close to this.
Last two days were 100 and 105, and it's supposed to be 112 today.
To put this in perspective, the Seattle area has never had two days in a row of 100+ temps before, ever. And the all-time recorded high temp in Seattle was 103.
Normally we refer to June and "Juneuary", and don't typically expect extended sunny weather until after July 4th. This year things are already bone dry for weeks, with no rain anywhere in the forecast.

Its been unusually hot in many places for the time of year.
We need a better way of moving to the future than what got us to this point...

I was in California last week on vacation to see family, and had 112 degree days, which I expected as I grew up there. I was looking forward to the cooler weather of home in the PNW, and it’s like my vacation just relocated North with the same temps. I’ve only seen it pass 100 a couple of times in the past 14 years that I’ve lived here.

So weather is caused by a weather system. Indeed but those types of weather systems in turn are caused and we still need a better way of moving to the future than what got us to this point...

Well i know the name of my next song, lol
2012 was the worst year of 100+ temps here in The Louie (what locals call st louis). I remember working at the Sub Shack. people would be gross and try to come in without enough clothes. The sign said "no shirt, no shoes, no service" but what if someone walked in with a shirt but no leg clothing (Donald duck style). We'd be like be like "that's gross, no service, you need pants or at least shorts" but they'd say "it's not on the sign, so yes service" and we'd have to sell them a hoagie or whatever.

Well without getting too scientific or too detailed, I think we all know younger stars, such as our Sun, get hotter as they age; that is to a point.stratamania said:
To understand why it’s hotter here, it’s good to understand the same rough %s of increases have been measured on Venus and Mars.
Too often, we as a human race, align our thinking in a narcissistic manner, thinking we are all that and a bag of chips, totally obtuse to the larger picture.

Now, you should know better than to discuss data that contradicts the narrative. Clearly we are responsible for all of the weather anomalies in the solar system. Next thing you'll be telling us that the earths magnetic field has been in a state of accelerating decline since the Carrington solar event of 1859, leaving us increasingly succeptible to the whims of our star. Come now, get back in line!

Just the opposite here in East Texas, Usually by first week end in June it's already scorchin'. But it's been raining about 93 percent of the time since March. It's like the weather went dyslexic... :dontknow:The Aaron said:

Man is not responsible for all of the changes to weather within the universe. However to think that the actions of the last several decades and since the industrial revolution have not created the extreme changes of climate that were and are avoidable is fanciful.
People can sit with tin hats on, say the world is flat, and there is no climate change etc etc. but that is just quite simply being a denier of the scientific facts. Go and burn your own house down and who did it? Certainly not the bogeyman or someone else.

Wow, conflation of subject matter, straw man arguments and ad hominem attacks, I didn't see that coming! Any grammatical errors you'd like to point out while you're at it? The modern hallmark of "Good Science", aka "THE Science", is that it brooks no challenges and shames into submission anyone who would question the "consensus opinion". If willingness to look outside of cherry picked data sets and consider conclusions outside of the narrative constitutes wearing a tin foil hat, then I wear mine proudly.

No strawman arguments from me.
And I did not use any ad hominem against anyone. Science and what is observable is not a consensus opinion. I do not buy a lot of the alternate reality that seems to becoming prevalent these days.

The earth is been around billions of years, it will still be here when humanity has destroyed itself.. The earth is fine, it's humanity that needs saving..
