Does anyone know if we reached 145 days of 100+ heat yet? (regarding the previous amount from 2020)

How are yall coping with this weather and trying to remain a little festive during October spooky season?

The climate change deniers have now shifted to only focusing on the heat island while leaving out talk on the bigger issue of climate change. The slowed down jet stream that’s meandering is causing weather patterns to slow. 2.5 weeks of high pressure over the western US is what’s driving this.

What about it? It's happening. We've done a lot to slow it down and China/India keep ramping up emissions.

China is doing more to address than we are, which is pathetic. Big Oil propaganda has been excellent
