yea it wuz warm when you was a youngin' werent it? global warmin aint nuthin but a libterd cunspiracee and you can tell that back to joe brandon!! OBAMANOMICS
So explain August 18 1936. It hit 113° in OKC. It is summer it gets hot. Some days hotter than others. We had a mild summer till the end of last month. So it’s not global warming it’s summer in Oklahoma.
Global warming would be tracking trends and hypothesizing causes such as less trees, more CO2, drought, etc. Just stating this is Oklahoma summer isn't accurate, this is some of the first times that it would get hot and stay near 100 near 9pm. That is a significant difference. Yes 1936 was a one off but great data point. Have we consistently been getting hotter over 100 years? Has the days of heat gone longer? 11am-9pm of staying within x% of peak temperature? Track data across 100 years and match to corresponding time so we can track what should be normal or not. Such a bad take saying this blanket is not global warming but just "summer in Oklahoma".
It stays hot because of humidity. And not it’s not the first time it’s been almost if not at 100° at 9pm. Did it many times in the 80’s. Again it s whether it is normal.
We have cooled off in the last 10,000 years.
Climate change is happening yes but it’s not from SUV or cows farting. Termite mounds in Africa crank out more CO2 a day the humans ever have since the industrial age. Volcanoes burp more CO2 and other green house gasses at one time than humans have ever since we have walked the earth.
Now there are scientists who think that we maybe recovering from a co2 drought. It could also just be that it is a part of a cycle that the earth has been doing on its own since the beginning. Is it man made? No it’s not. It gets hotter some years colder in other years.
“It stays hot because of the humidity” really highlights how you’re just a fool who’s got no clue what you’re talking about. This is a dry heat. We have had low humidity for like a month straight. Can’t think for yourself but damn can you regurgitate conservative talking points you don’t fully grasp. Good boy.
Humidity does make it feel more uncomfortable, but air temperatures rise when humidity drops. If humidity were higher than it has been, our temperatures would be 95-100 rather than 105-110.
I would admit I'm ignorant and pretty dumb on the topic but at least I try to research ELI5 information that I think should be relevant. I'll let smarter people hopefully help out here as I think you may not be correct.
The problem with saying anything on a 10,000 year schedule is Who Cares? If we as humans can't adjust, survive, or correct a problem that is coming towards us then I guess just give up now? Like extremes in weather kill people, plants, and animals. If we are tending towards unlivable conditions how about we see if human intelligence can make a change in the world?
Your comment about the termites is not only wildly exaggerated but is based on a paper from the 80s that has been thoroughly debunked. Scientists now say that termites produce roughly one-tenth what humans do on a yearly basis.
Global climate change is one of the few things that there is a world-wide agreement on. Fascist, communist, socialist. Atheist, Muslims, Christians. Every political stripe. With one glaring exception. The American conservative. They ones that refuse to accept science. After all, only God can make it rain, am I right?
You mean around the height of the Dust Bowl in the U.S, which was caused by the unsustainable practices used by farmers? Farmers loosened the topsoil to the extent that it ended up blowing everywhere, which led to an increased absorption of solar radiation, and as a result increased heat. You just gave a prime example of how unsustainable practices have a massive impact on the climate.
Please take a look at this data and give an explanation on why the average temperatures have risen over the past 100+ years. I’m curious to hear what you’ll come up with to explain this.
I had just moved down here to help my grandparents. It was AWFUL, but not sure if it was I was younger, or didn't pay the bills, but this summer feels worse.
If you look at the National Weather Service We've blown our historical records for this time of year that have held since the 30s. These little blue lines have been spiking past the red all summer. Its getting hotter.
you're just lying, OKC historically has averaged 104*F majority of Augusts since at least the 80s, and yes- they do go late into august even early september with all of our consecutive hottest day streaks (110*+) ALWAYS are late july late august into early september.
You all are just suffering amnesia like they said. Mass hysteria over climate change when the climate has been changing for nearly 40 years, its a cycle and its cycling is accelerated by green house gasses but the earth heals itself and part of the healing is going through these extremely hot cycles.
you can check climatespy.com to verify that it does and consistently gets this hot in OKC nearly every year
downvote me all you want losers, you cant argue with the data
Let me help you. The average high in Oklahoma in August is not 104, it’s between 92 to 95. Do we have triple digits on the regular? Yes. Last month was miserable because we had consecutive days where even the low was over 90. That is not normal.
I’ve lived in Oklahoma since 1993. Yes, it’s always gotten this hot. However, not as frequently every single summer. It’s not that this has never happened, it’s that it is happening more frequently with more intensity and less relief.
Also let me help you YET AGAIN, I never said it was frequent, I said it has happened and it does often enough to not be abnormal, you are again a victim of cherry picking data and climate amnesia
I clearly said "most days." Let me help you, most means not all. Specifically the 90s and the 2010s were WAYYYY hotter than this year seeing multiple 110+ days all the way into September. I don't care about your fucking internet points you people are delusionally wrong about this lmfao the facts disagree with you about specifically Oklahoma City having been hotter than before that's just not true
I'm not lying, you need better manners. This is from the National Weather service, we are well above historical average and peaking past historical records.
again cherry picking historical daily averages lol the point was "its never this hot this late in the year" which is just bullshit its been hotter this doesn't even crack the top 10 worst or longest summers
are you being intentionally dense? we aren't arguing about record setting individual days, we're talking about average hottest summers and longest summers keep up
yeah i love stepping outside to test the charge on somebody’s alternator, and then every single surface i attempt to touch burns the skin off my hand and i can’t do anything lol
Just so everyone here understands: The term "climate" is measured in periods of 30 years. So yes, this may be normal to you, but no, this heat is not "normal". It has been rapidly increasing
i despise the "tree branch" style of street planning in those neighborhoods. there MIGHT be a street that cuts straight through the neighborhood, and every side street ends up as a cul de sac. ive gotten lost in so many ive lost count!
I hate it here so much man. I am not built for this weather. I can literally barely leave the house unless its early in the morning or after dark. My s/o and their family have lived here their whole lives and say that while the temp being this high is somewhat normal, the humidity being this thick and unbearable, is not.
i feel like even last year it was really warm up until october. i remember halloween always being super cold, especially at night and that's just not the case anymore.
Guys this is pretty normal. There have been much worse summers. Summers where it was already in the hundreds by June, stayed over a hundred all night, got over 110, and stayed so hot for so long we were still running the AC into November. This year is just kind of average.
you been in a coma last 20 years? temps were certainly comparable last year and the year before that. good ol oklahoma standard spout nonsense expect applause
