remarkably cool August so far in VA and will stay that way till at least the 21st ... that's way into August. This *never* happens, 'dog days' are almost guaranteed to be the thing instead at this very time

we actually may find we could turn on the heat in the morning, though probably won't as a matter of 'that just ain't right' and it will warm up to at least mid-70s during the day [but not supposed to get to 80]. I'm not complaining. The way we live, seldom using AC, if it's cool at night, life is good even if it's hot during the day. By the last week of August, normally, it's almost always cooled off at night. We are getting close!

where I am it's very consistently about 5 degrees cooler than, say, the northern VA area around DC where we lived previously

all this is a good example of anecdotal local weather that means nothing for the topic of climate change, except as we want to emphasize it

Oh, I like a good rant, and this one is short and sweet. Quite delicious really.

In this one she really lets the journalists have it! but that is just to start out, she has no use for 'deniers' either* as you will see. The language is not really safe for work



* yes I still despise that term, but I will give license to use it in a rant

I disagree that "follow the science" always means science is telling you what to do. It can mean you're not actually following science in your reasoning against something or even for something. Such as suggesting bleach for covid.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

You can dissect my quote and explain why you think that's what i said. As it's not.

Here is a new all-terrain skateboard in action. over grass, gravel, speed bumps. wheels aren't especially giant either. remote controls speed.

Because he is a big contributor to global warming doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. It just means that he is a hypocrite.
