It's actually relatively cool down here in Georgia compared with other years... nothing has really broken any records yet AFAIK
Just get A/C.
I'm not saying that everywhere is getting hotter.
I'm saying that the climate is going beserk - and that means both ways..
Rains where it normaly shouldn't in that part of the year, hot when it was supposed to be cold, etc...
The climate is a very sensitive thing and the air masses are influenced by what we do.
As far as I know, human influence has allready caused slight changes in the normal air masss movement patterns - and we have nature showing it's wrath all over the world - from USA, Canada, Brasil, over Europe and Africa, to China and Japan.
I read somewhere that the number of such known disasters (floods, droughts, storms, landslides, etc...) has increased by allmost 40% in the last 20 years and it's increasing exsponentialy!
Now, I don't know if i can trust that number, but I've been watching news and readin newspapers, and I do see such news more often than before, and I see some minor climate changes where I live..
Completely wierd weather is accuring more often, and franky, I am very concerned, especially if one knows that any damage done to the enviroment is visible only after some time.
For instance, the freons you release in the atmosphere today will start to eat awway at the ozon in 7 years.
Which means if the ozon layer became criticly thin and we banned all pollutants, it would still degrade for several years at least!!!:nervous:
