    Default Breaking' the heat index: US heat waves to skyrocket as globe warms, study suggests

    If you think it's hot now, just wait awhile.

    As the globe warms in the years ahead, days with extreme heat are forecast to skyrocket across hundreds of U.S. cities, a new study suggests, perhaps even breaking the "heat index."

    “Our analysis shows a hotter future that’s hard to imagine today,” study co-author Kristina Dahl, a climate scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists, said in a statement. “Nearly everywhere, people will experience more days of dangerous heat in the next few decades."

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.

    Hot weather, even unusually hot weather is still weather, not climate. The climate is measured carefully and compared to what the long term data says. Hot or cold today means nothing.
    The climate is getting hotter.

    Yes, please tell them to go to the coasts. But not that big one to the north. Stay away from that one, you would hate it here. lol

    It is not possible to measure the temperature of the Earth. How do you know it's warming?

    Climate 'scientists' deny science and mathematics. There are NO theories of science about climate.

    On Jan 1st, 2019, Gillette WY recorded a temperature of -10 deg F. On July 11th, the same weather station recorded 94 deg F. A whopping 104 deg F in only six months! OMG! Imagine what it's going to be by next January! You'll be able to boil water just by going outside!

    Go put your Holy Entrails away, moron.

    Climate is not a temperature, dumbass.

    Define 'climate change'.

    Define 'climate change'. There is nothing to deny. Meaningless words are meaningless words.

    I certainly DO deny your religion though. I will have nothing to do with the Church of Global Warming, other than to try to destroy it.

    Lol, even the most dire predictions by climate alarmists, predict a 1 or 2 degree increase in temperatures over the next hundred years. Don't be so gullible McFly.
