It's interesting what you say about climates changing. Funny to think that in Shakespeare's time the Thames used to regularly freeze over! |

We have relatives in Wales and they too have been shocked by the weather.
IMO it is just the beginning... |

I like that. Yes, the messages we are receiving from some quarters suggest that everything is going to go crash, bang, wallop within a few tens of years. History shows that the earth moves a little more ponderously than that!

This thread is drifting into forbidden waters… climate change/ global warming. Lets stay clear to avoid shutting it down.

We feel your pain here in Southern California. It was 84 degrees this morning at 5am. It was 103 yesterday and today is supposed to be worse, at least until Weds, when it'll be back in the 90's supposedly. The fear is real.

124 degrees yesterday in Death Valley
Santa Fe is one of the nicest towns in America, especially in light snow. |

Also, Los Alamos. Kinda neat just to drive by the place. And then pulled into Santa Fe. Like icing on the cake. Loved the whole look and vibe of the place. I was with a European friend/colleague at the time and he stills talks about that drive and visit. No snow though, it was early fall as I recall.

100+ degrees throughout the holiday weekend and rest of the week, topping out at 112F over the next couple of days. I was assembling some new home gym equipment in my (non-A/C) garage the last two days and felt every bit of it. But after 32yrs of lousy east coast weather (snow, ice, humidity with plenty of gloom year round), I vowed to never complain about the heat out here, so I'm not going to start now.
Continuing with the NM sidebar, I drank my first caipirinha in Albuquerque about 20 years ago. I would love to retire, so I could explore NM (and much of the western US) more.

The country has had frequent floodings in recent history, but that list may not start early enough to whitelist this phenomenon.

This August in Europe was the warmest on record, European weather records go back to the dawn of science.

Which really wasn't that long ago in the scheme of things. Not "science" either but meteorology specifically (a type of science) too so even shorter period of coverage.

Quite right, not long 'in the scheme of things' if by that you mean the billions of years the universe or the planet has been around but long enough relative to western civilization. Which is the context in which we live.

Thanks to science we have - to some extent - the benefit of foreknowledge of the Ice Age or the heat wave next to come. In theory that gives us an opportunity to prepare. A benefit that our distant ancestors didn’t have. Will we be smart about it or stupid about it, that’s the question.
