Do You Think The Rain Might Cool Things Down?

I’m seeing hysterical weather reports all over the Internet about super-hot forecast temperatures in the Southwest this weekend.

Given that much of the region is expecting rain producing thunderstorms, this forecast seems overblown. It requires a lot of heat to evaporate water.

The Weather Underground forecast for Phoenix shows temperatures this week between 104 and 117F.  That is not particularly unusual for this time of year. In 1974 they had 19 straight days over 110F, and of course we had no A/C in the frat house!

    These are desperate actions, like those of a person drowning.

    When I return from vacation I hope to finish and submit a manuscript showing that:

    Well-intentioned international agreements – to save mankind fr the threat of nuclear annihilation by obscuring the energy (E) stored as mass (m) in cores of atoms, planets, stars and galaxies, instead – destroyed credibility in post-1945 world governments and government-sponsored science.

    Acceptance of reality will restore sanity to society, and devastate mankind’s false illusion of power over nature.

    I deeply regret that I was so slow to decipher this post-1945 web of deceit.

    With deep regrets,

    These post-1945 discoveries will likely be confirmed:
    1. Self-sustaining reactors on early Earth
    2. Nuclear reactors in cores of planets
    3. Local synthesis of elements in the Sum
    4. The Sun’s energetic pulsar core
    5. “Cold” nuclear fusion

    These consensus models of reality will likely be falsified:
    1. The SSM of H-filled stars
    2. Yikawa’s model of attractive forces
    3. Models of pulsars as dead embers
    4. Models of black holes
    5. Sub-particles of neutrons & protons
    6. Oscillating solar neutrinos, and
    7. AGW/AGC models of warming & cooling

    I’ve lived in the desert a long time. There are highs and lows. Every year at some point, outliers to the ‘normal’ arise. The hysteria in the media is pathetic. And while they bemoan the mythological drought going on, I am reminded how they ignored the recent massive and destructive flooding in the Mid-west (2008 and 2010). How convenient.
