Record hot weather continues . . .
Forums:
NASA just announced that 2017 was the second hottest year on record (NOAA says it was the third hottest). Both agencies agree, however, that the five hottest years on record have all been since 2010:

Locally, this past July was the second hottest in PDX on record and set the new record for the most 90+ degree days.

I suspect the global warming deniers will have something to say about this.
Or not.

My prediction is that it wll be Cold this Winter. It will Snow 3-4 times and maybe even More.
In October we will get a Hurricane - ish storm that knocks out the Power for a bit.
So that's what to expect. NOAA I'm waiting to hear from you !! I know that job is all sewn up, but we need to talk about the Dental Plan.

Meanwhile, the suns the most "quiet" it's been in a hundred years; the last solar max was lower than most solar mins, there's been no sunspots for a very long time, and if history was an indicator, we'd be in a mini ice-age right now. But we're not, we continue to see temperatures climb globally (especially in the poles).
No Bueno!!!

"Death Valley, California,
"Death Valley, California, just wrapped up their hottest month on record. The famously hot location saw an average daily temperature in July 2018 of 108.1°F (42.3°C). Remember that this is the average daily temperature – not the daily high temperature (see chart below). Last July (2017), the Death Valley station at the National Park Service Visitor’s Center reported a world record monthly temperature of 107.3°F (41.8°C). Assuming no other station bested Death Valley in July 2018 (more later), this means Death Valley broke the world record in back-to-back years! Let that sink in for a minute...
....Death Valley is also the site of the all-time single highest temperature ever measured on Earth: 134°F on July 10, 1913. Climate historian, Christopher Burt, recently made a convincing case that the 134°F is likely erroneously high. Nevertheless, Death Valley is subject to 15-30 days per year with a high temperature in excess of 120°F; and most years see temperatures of 125°F+

Just as expected. Our resident global warming denier thinks it's a joke or some evil liberal plan.
Mwaaaa hahahaha!

Thom wasn't joking. He was probably just referring to a recent article published by the UN noting that the effects of climate change will vary among regions, and between different generations, income groups and occupations as well as between women and men. Due, in part, to their lower adaptive capacities, developing countries and people living in poverty are likely to experience significant impacts:

We only have to look at how people in Puerto Rico fared this past hurricane season compared to the folks on the mainland USA to see how climate change will have disparate effects on different population groups.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'm sure that is exactly what was going through Thom's head. No doubt.

Driving into the valley from
Driving into the valley from the foothills yesterday had me questioning long term viability of living in California. I’ve never experienced air quality that bad. Sinuses started aching and breathing was gritty. If this is the new normal for four months of the year it will drastically change people’s view of living here.

All the dead trees from the 7-year drought have created the two largest fires in California's recorded history.
Jet stream blows east so rest of country's air quality is effected two.
