“the computer models show that soon, we’ll get many more — and hotter — heat waves that will leave the old Dust Bowl records of the 1930s in the dust, said Ken Kunkel, director of the Center for Atmospheric Sciences at the Illinois State Water Survey.
The way to really judge will be when scientists look back a decade from now, not at a single heat wave, but at the frequency and extremes of all of them, said Mike Wallace, a professor of atmospheric sciences. That’s when scientists will likely see a statistically significant increase in heat waves and their severity, he said. In fact, he said, that can be seen a bit now.
“One hundred twenty-six degrees in Death Valley last week; Sacramento had 11 days at or above 100 degrees, their old record was nine. We’re seeing some impressive records out there to be sure and unfortunately this is taking a human toll.”

Sacramento averages about 20 days a year over 100F, and that number has been declining.
We drove through Sacramento on July 23, 2006 on our way back from the Bay Area to Colorado. It was very hot, but by the time we got to Lake Tahoe it was cold.
From July 8 to July 14, 1913 Death Valley was over 126F every day.
The number of very hot days in the US has declined sharply since the 1930s.

In 1961 President Eisenhower warned about the grave dangers of government controlling science funding. His concerns have borne out.
The press says the left is insane because of Donald Trump and his voters .
“Some liberals, particularly upper-middle-class white ones, cracked up because other people couldn’t see what was obvious to them: that Trump was a bad candidate and an even worse president.”
The Left Can’t Afford to Go Mad
It is difficult for leftists knowing they are superior to the “Basket of Deplorables” – as Hillary Clinton described America.

Sixteen years ago today, Al Gore was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. At the ceremony he said the world was spinning out of kilter and predicted the Arctic would be ice-free by 2014.
In 1990, Al Gore announced that anyone who didn’t agree with his misinterpretation of Antarctic ice core data was “unethical.”
“The Indianapolis Star
12 Aug 1990, Sun -Page 102THEN IN March 1990, in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, MIT’s Richard Lindzen pointed out that whereas all of the
climate models predict a warming of 5 degrees to 14 degrees Celsius in the Arctic during the winter, from 1940-87, the Atlantic Arctic winter
temperatures have fallen 2.5 degrees.At his largely ignored April Interparliamentary Conference on Climate Change, Sen. Albert Gore, D-Tenn., was so frustrated by this, he charged any scientist who studied the Antarctic ice cores and did not consider global warming an immediate “‘crisis was being ‘‘unethical.”

“Things could heat up with ozone layer
By Bonnie Vance News Staff – A NASA scientist, saying that “We are conducting one big experiment with the Earth’s atmosphere,” warned that industrial pollutants are destroying the ozone layer that normally protects Earth from excessive solar ultraviolet rays. This destruction could result in increased rates of skin cancer, weakened immune systems (the body’s defense against disease) and destruction of entire life systems, Watson said he expects a decision from the EPA by November 1987 regarding fluorocarbon regulation. One of the same chemicals destroying the ozone, carbon dioxide, Is also responsible for the greenhouse effect, said Henrv Zintambilia, ISU professor of geography-geology. “A greenhouse’s glass allows solar radiation to get in. . .where it is converted to sensible heat,” Zintambilia said. “This heat starts trying to leave the greenhouse, but it cannot penetrate the glass to the outside. .
.this makes the greenhouse warmer.” Normally, the water vapor in the clouds acts as the panes of the greenhouse, allowing just enough heat to escape into space to keep the Earth’s temperatures relatively constant, he said. But increased levels of carbon dioxide from manufacturing processes increase the clouds’ abilities to absorb and reflect the heat back to Earth, and many scientists believe this is causing a reported increase in the Earth’s average temperatures, Zintambilia said. The immediate threat lies in the potential melting of the Earth’s glaciers, causing the sea levels to rise, Zintambilia said, which “will be a great catastrophe causing enormous flooding.” If we continue adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, he said, “There may be a time when the temperatures currently experienced in Florida may be experienced in New York.”
