Let's see, power out in San Diego, St. Louis, 460,000 of us here in the NE

[NNadir]

All in the last week.

Does anyone think there may be a problem here?

[BeatleBoot]

1. The Problem is called DE-REGULATION

And Global Warming.

I feel for anyone without power.

[NNadir]

3. The problem is called record heat.

The world is getting very hot, very fast.

I'm not sure that anyone really appreciates what's happening.

We're all frogs in the pot.

4. I'm afraid we might have reached or passed the tipping point.

Our heat today was truly inconceivable for this area.

119.

I am still in shock.

[NNadir]

5. This season is very scary.

I'm not sure anyone really understands what's going on.

[kestrel91316]

6. I think you and I do.

[Massacure]

12. It looks to me like humanity is too stupid to understand anything.

Humanity understands only what it is told to understand.

14. So I have a question.

Nuclear may be the only option that keeps the lights
on and reduces greenhouse emissions. But it takes
awhile to build a reactor...and there are surely
a lot of emissions that come from making the various
components and extracting the needed uranium.

So...your opinion...if we (as in the whole world)
implemented a crash program to switch to nuclear -
would it save us?

Or is our goose already cooked? (pun intended)

2. yeah, we need more deregulation...only the private sector can...

solve this problem...:sarcasm:

[Pierzin]

7. Oh yeah, Deregulation worked out so well in California...

Learn all you can folks, it will take some effort, but we need to be involved to turn the tide of the neocon criminals and ditorters of truth. Listen to your liberal talk radio or Democracy now for affirmation, thats what I do.

8. Problem? Besides the devolution of the USA to a 3rd world country?

Nah, no problem. Soon we'll be better off just like the Iraqi people.

[NNadir]

9. There's a lot of truth in that. We're more third world than we know yet.

10. Friday and Saturday were both 118F. I believe those were records.

[depakid]

11. 108 in the Portland area on Friday- an all time record

No power problems, though- most people don't have AC.

Very hot, very fast indeed. It hardly even snows in valleys in the winter anymore.

13. It's HERE !
