The oceans are warmer, so there is more moisture in the air.

That makes sense to me. The only honeybee that I ever heard of as being aggressive is the Africanized honeybee. But, I have NOT heard about them this year. But, I am NOT a bee expert.

OH yes, to die for......please don't rub it in.

OK, that post is ssssooo eloquent on the subject that I will stop believing all the science that I have heard on TV or read online and I promise that I will believe that eloquent post.

OK, I promise to read more about the Tonga eruption and water vapor vs. CO2.

Now you’re making sense

Confusing to the indoctrinated. So I’ll spell it out: The warnings about excessive heat in this SHORT term heat wave of 4-5 WEEKS is a public service for those that are prone to heat stroke. The unending media BS pushing a fictitious agenda is what we’ve had more than enough of. The second sentence stands
When I get back to the US I’ll post a photograph that will blow your whole climate change caused by fossil fuel right out of the water. Hint: one picture is worth 10,000 repeated internal combustion engine posts

1st....what scientists said about COVID was NOT wrong overall. Some ordinary people took what was said by the CDC EARLY-ON before all the tests and information had come in (developed). Then later as the KNOWLEDGE about the disease increased (matured), the CDC made other statements. Then the anti-science people compared the LATER knowledge with the EARLY knowledge and said, "Ah Ha, the CDC is inconsistent and therefore wrong, so nobody should believe them.
.......Well, science EVOLVES, knowledge does NOT stand still. To use a simple analogy.....think of scientific knowledge as a flowing stream that picks up more rain as it goes - do NOT think of it as a static, fixed in place, LAKE.
........And one point of a community forum IS to change minds.To put down in writing an individual opinion ( like mine) and MAYBE it changes some minds. If enough people read it then SOME minds MIGHT open up to that opinion. And SOME may NOT. It never hurts to try. People talk at church. People talk at bowling. That changes minds. When someone goes to bowling, they don't carry a sign that says, "only talk to me about the things that I have already made up my mind about." So, theoretically ALL human conversation involves SOME changing of minds.

Somewhat?

The incessant brainwashing by media is enough to do Joe Goebbels proud.

"Back in the USA" we are waiting with baited breath. And why are the waters surrounding Florida so record HOT. And the approaching hurricane is becoming stronger. And why did I read a science article that predicted that in 30 years Florida will have a mile or more of its coastline underwater? And WHY are some smart people with homes there starting to sell. And I wonder with hurricanes happening to Florida each year, what does the Chamber of Commerce for Florida say to deflect those questions?
........And would I advise a friend to move here to Florida anytime soon? Answer.............no way Jose!

Coastline moving in a mile in 30 years??? Probably the same moron who told us the polar ice caps would be completely gone by 2010

Don’t even ask, I’m not parting with one of my NOMES!

As I understand it the Arctic is a sea that boats are travelling on and oil well platforms are being built. And Antarctica is rapidly losing its ice mass. They call it calving as the large ice masses fall into the sea.

So, in other words, you don’t understand it 😁😂😂

Have been here also 18 years. I think that as we get older, we can't handle heat like when we were younger. Over the years here I recall HOT, HOT temps in August and September. If this summer is slightly warmer, then maybe next year will be slightly cooler. I just wish the darn media and our government would not keep pounding into our brains all this global warming. They need to stop this and getting us folks all worked up about it.

I don't see a lot of people getting all worked up about this, I see one person who gets very worked up about it. So yes, it is hot - very hot, and the summer heat seems to last longer than it used to, but whether or not it is global warming is a matter of personal belief. I'll wait, if I live long enough, to see if the polar ice melts and Florida disappears under water.

Oh, I don't know... Maybe because it's SUMMER?

The underwater volcano eruption put more moisture in the air...

And that masks & 6' & shots will protect one from you-know-what.

I think the calving has gone on for thousands of years.

Nice guy that I am we are organizing a trip to Antarctica next year for a personal inspection and will report back as soon as we finishing a census of the penguins to see if population is increasing.

Which has zero effect on the theoretical rising ocean levels...

Well, I am certainly trying hard to understand it.

Yes, this summer is slightly warmer than last summer and (guess what) scientists are saying for, at least, the next 8 years that each year will be slightly warmer than the next. They say that frogs won't jump out of a boiling saucepan just as long as you increase the heat s-l-o-w-l-y. Well, denying Global Warming is much the same. Only it is humans in an EVER-INCREASINGLY hot environment. Humans PRETEND that it isn't happening, but the scientists say, "Yes it IS". And the regular civilians keep pretending and the scientists keep warning - it is like a never-ending cycle. Florida coral reefs are dying because of excess CO2 in the water and the water temperature is so HIGH that it exceeds their liveable range. Around the world, scientists are recording the sea level rise. July was the hottest on record since temperature recording began.
.........It takes about 40 seconds with the Google machine to find out all these environmental facts.
......Some people say, "Ignore science at your own peril".

Not all of Florida will be underwater - just all the buildings within 1 mile of the PRESENT waterline in 30 years. Some of us will live to see that day. Now, one thing might prevent that bad news. If more people would start buying hybrid vehicles and all-electric vehicles.

From NASA Aug 2, 2022 ......Water vapor from the Tonga volcano "would dissipate" "and would NOT exacerbate climate change effects".
..... From Space.com...."Earth's surface will be heating up - though its UNCLEAR by how much."

Where would the electricity come from to charge all of these electric vehicles?

Do believe people should buy cars with high mpg though.

Good reply!!!!:beer3:

I have one friend who has been in TV from almost the beginning and another native Floridian who has lived here for 65 years. Both said this is the hottest they remember. According to the NWS they are correct. Brooksville FL is 35 miles away and has kept records back to 1892 and Tampa to 1890. Both locations have recorded this July is the hottest on record.

Where would the electricity come from to power all of the new homes they are building?

When are you buying yours?

So what? Was it hotter in 1889, or 1643, or 870 BC??? This is a game played in tens of thousands of years, not the last century and a half. I can pretty much guarantee it was hotter 65 million years ago

Let’s see, 30 years from now is 2053, 43 years after all the polar ice melted. Oh, wait, that didn’t happen. So I guess the alarmists need a new dire prediction. So, can we get a preview of the next one when 2053 doesn’t pan out? Or even just an explanation of why we still have polar ice?

I agree. And that shows 2 subjective reports from 2 individuals and 2 temperature measurement reports from 2 different cities. Smart people need to be 1st aware of a problem and next DO something about the problem. When you see the loud IC engine golf cars driving by WITHOUT catalytic converters - just be aware that they are part of the problem. When you see a hybrid car or truck drive by or a quiet E-vehicle - just be aware that the drivers of those vehicles are doing THEIR part to alleviate the problem.
........They also have the advantage that they go to the gas station less and thus save their important TIME.

Some smart people that are retiring may be looking at the TV reports about the hurricanes here in Florida for the last 2 years - they may choose to forgo Florida in favor of Tn. and the Carolinas. And we are NOT out of hurricane season yet this year.

From what I have read Antarctica's ice is now decreasing as are the world's glaciers. This JULY was the HOTTEST on record and the predictions are for continuing records set for the next 7 years.

If you read the last paragraph in that article you see that the ice is decreasing rapidly and oceans will rise and further global warming is likely.

And Santa Claus is real and fairy princesses kiss a frog and turn him into a prince and they rode off on a unicorn and lived happily ever after

I’m the OP. I should not really be amazed at how my initial Thread went in so many different directions. OMG. But re this post, we’re not really Green, but I would say that if an average driver would test an EV, esp the Tesla it’s a different world. The drive is an eye-opener. In a very good way. We will be ordering our new Tesla within a month. Amazing, and actually so many of the nay-sayers are so wrong. IMO.
