Yeah, this has been a problem for ages and it's not unique to the USA. There's loads and loads of weather stations in my country that have been keeping records for decades, sometimes since the 19th century, but back when they were built, they were in wooded areas etc., and now they're surrounded by concrete as the area around them continued to develop. But hey, this station from 1890 is showing record temperatures now so obviously we need communism or the planet will literally catch fire and we'll all die.
Speaking of which, I used to say "yeah, yeah, it'll be so hot we'll all just drop dead" as a dismissive joke, and lately I've been noticing leftists saying this without a hint of irony. I think it started with that retarded video with Bill Nye the Sex Junk Guy where he set a globe on fire. I mean, what the fuck? I'm seeing people claim that my central European country will become unlivable because somehow the local temperate climate will turn into something worse than Arizona or Saudi Arabia WHERE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LIVING FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING. I moved on to joking about polar bears melting, but if this becomes a serious lefty talking point in a few years too I'm probably going to turn it into a drinking game and just fucking die.
Polar Bear numbers are up. Weather temps are only up because there's more concrete and less trees. The global temps aren't rising at any alarming rate, they fluctuate all the time, and I am tired of the bullshit. Hell, right now, the sun is effecting our climate more than pollution can. That bitch is at the beginning of a bad cycle and things are going to be worse before they get better in 10 years.
All the asphalt as well, that stuff soaks up and radiates heat like crazy.
Which effects rain storms by producing heat updrafts. Like in the desert.
