With a heat wave currently turning half the country into a steam bath and the next round of Democratic Party presidential debates coming up in just over a week, it's likely climate change (né global warming) will be at or near the top of the agenda.
For the Democrats, climate armageddon is right around the corner, the only question really open for debate being whether that corner is twelve years away or twenty. Global warming is a religion to them and, as with so many religions, you obey its strictures or else. Just ask Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
That this isn't the most scientific approach to climate

It's summer folks. Summer is hot and humid. Thunderstorms are prevalent with the humidity. A couple more months and it will start getting cold because of the fall and winter equinoxes. It's normal. Just deal with it.

The summers are no hotter now than when I was a kid in the 1950's.
The only difference in weather I note is that winters are not as cold or
snowy as they were 4-5 decades ago ( here's hoping ) and that the seasons seem to be shifting. Just my personal perspective with no data,
other than my memory. Of course it depends on one's location.

Somebody needs to ask Ocrazio Vortex how solar panels are going to generate the billions of megawatts needed to power all the a c during the summer heatwaves. The Squad should have to live a month with the Amish to see how life would be like under their plan.

Here in Northern Ohio we have had a pretty cool summer. The temps in May and June ran well under average and the rainfall was above average. We currently are at the end of a heat wave that has lasted a full three days. Wow, are we in trouble or what?

The left needs this climate change schtick for power and control.

Growing up in Oklahoma, I recall one summer the temperature hit 119. Wasn’t too bad though, seeing as how we had just purchased a Westinghouse floor fan that we all could sit in front of when we weren’t down splashing around in the creek. Cowboy up snow flakes - things aren’t really as bad as the WX Channel tells you they are.

The Lovin' Spoonful told us all about global warming 60 years ago: ''Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down, isn't it a pity? Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city, ...''

This is the reason that the leftists have to keep "climate change" in every nook and cranny that we read or watch. Whenever the conditions are not within the range of what they deem to be safe and comfortable, they can remind us that it's time to pay somebody to cure this man-made disease.

It's just summer.
Some years it is hotter than normal.
Some years it is cooler than normal.
Then you average them together and get......the average.
Grow up, people. The weather VARIES.

Here in Las Vegas, we have had one of the coolest (a relative term, here) summers I have experienced in 20 years. It's been wonderful. Nights are actually cool and much more comfortable than usual. Our above 102 days have been very few. Usually by mid July we are sweltering in constant 105+ days, some going as high as 115. Nights seldom drop below 95.

Questions? Logic? Reason?
How dare you Roger?
As you say, you can't question religion. But beyond that, it is not only religion, it is the politics of the Left to grab all the money and power by whatever mechanism available. The Leftists realized decades ago that to achieve their ends of money and power they could leverage environmentalism. It was a cause that started for the best of reasons. We were making a mess of our planet with contaminated air, water, and soil. Almost no one thought that was a good idea. We started cleaning things up and everyone felt good about it.
Then the Left grabbed the wheel of environmentalism because they realized they could use it as a weapon against capitalism which, admittedly, could make a mess of things if not prodded not to do so. The Left, rather than prodding for responsible capitalism, something that business found could be to its advantage (for example, the oil companies have some of the most knowledgeable environmentalists working for them), decided that environmentalism must kill capitalism. That has been the push ever since.
Why fight Capitalism? Because Capitalism provides the antithesis of Leftist control. While not a system of government, Capitalism produces independent people of means that keep their own money and like to run things themselves rather than submit to government. In a well run Capitalist system, the need for the Left is minimal. Their only function is reduced to that of gadfly to prod society to make truly needed changes.
This explains that while the science of Climate Change Alarmism is faltering to collapse, the political drive to get money and control is alive and well. The only problem is, the science claims are becoming more absurd and obviously corrupt. The political claims are completely off the charts. Their belief is if you are going to lie, you might as well lie BIG.

San Diego area has been cooler. Last summer I ran my A/C frequently from May through October—I live slightly inland. This year I’ve only turned it on for a few hours one day in May, one day in June and one day in July—mostly due to a little humidity and my hot flashes! It’s much cooler here this summer and I’m glad!

One would think that with Laudatory Sii from Pope Francis and An Inconvenient Truth from Al Gore he would believe.
President Trump earned my second vote with the Paris Agreement. Would you imagine life under a Democrat-Socialist? Drill, baby, drill like Dear Sarah said.

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

I suppose that when you live, work and recreate in an air-conditioned environment, like most of the people writing about how hot it is do, it seems pretty hot when you goo outside! People are softer than they used to be. Millions of people have always lived in the desert, Florida, and equatorial regions without air conditioning and adapt just fine. The more a person believes in global warming, the hotter it gets!

This is the best summer ever! Here in OK it's in the 80's during the day and down into the 60's, and in some places 50's, at night. No it won't last and last week was the 100's, but they only lasted about a week. Weather on this planet hasn't changed in billions of years. We just have spiffy new satellites and weather computers (and long winded weathermen) to tell us what and how. That's the only difference.
