Climate Change

96 here in middle America.

It's okay, probably just bad thermometer calibration.

My A/C died on Sunday afternoon. It peaked at 104F in the valleys of LA and didn't cool off to sub 100 until after 6pm. Can't have windows open overnight because of the city run homeless encampment across the street. The fans did little but push hot air around. Repair guy won't be around til tomorrow afternoon to fix it.

It reminded me of around 15 years ago when it hit 123F in my part of LA and didn't cool below 80F until after midnight.

I guess hell is 10 miles from the beach but there's a mountain range in the way blocking the sea breeze.

For reference, Ksan is about 30 miles from the beach and just as hot. Archi 20 miles away and marginally cooler.

Hey man, I live 10 miles from the beach. I just think any temperature higher than 75 is too hot so I can't even imagine 100+

Edit: I was born in India, I can imagine it. I just hate it.

I felt 120 degrees once, Lake Havasu Arizona in 1994. I still remember the relief of stepping inside after being out in that.

TIL 24C is hot

[Tyrath]

It never needs to go any higher. Maybe like 27C for a beach day. But no more thank you.

I remember that one heat wave a few years back. My friends and I went to the aquarium in Long Beach. It was 102F in Long Beach that day and no sea breeze. 115F when we drove home and it's sad when you can feel the difference.

I went to Vegas for my 21st birthday.
My birthday is in the summer.
It was 120.
AT MIDNIGHT.

"It's a dry heat"
Fuck you that means nothing.

Don't even need to live in hell to hit those highs. Three years ago, Labor Day weekend the bay area got absolutely crushed by a heat wave. San Francisco hit 106 as a high that weekend, which was a higher temperature than Las Vegas that same day, and shattered the previous high of 103 set in 2010. Livermore, about 40 miles NE of San Francisco and fairly inland hit 117. Our nights that weekend were mid 80's at their coolest. I drove Uber for about 16 hours a day that weekend just to be in an air conditioned car as we have no AC at home. I did about 3 wedding drop off's that weekend, 2 of them were outdoor. It was absolutely fucking miserable and I never want to be in that heat again.

Yeah it was 115 in the shade here this weekend. 108 yesterday.

Yeah we were hitting 95 in La Crescenta when the Valley was at 105 a couple days ago. Being 1400 ft in elevation helps.

President Trump plans this week to overhaul a federal law that poor and minority communities around the country have used for generations to delay or stop projects that threaten to pollute their neighborhoods — a law he says needlessly blocks good jobs, industry and public works.


The president’s plan to streamline the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), a bedrock environmental law signed with much fanfare by President Richard M. Nixon in 1970, would make it easier to build highways, pipelines, chemical plants and other projects that pose environmental risks.


If the final version mirrors a proposal from January, it would force agencies to complete even the most exhaustive environmental reviews within two years and restrict the extent to which they could consider a project’s full impact on the climate.

Didn't know where to dump this, but close enough.

7.8 earthquake off the coast of Alaska. Tsunami warning in effect for southern Alaska. We also had a 3.5 here just 10 miles north of Lincoln City, OR. Add tsunami to the official list of fuckery going on this year.
