You realize your in a massive and ever growing urban heat island right? The more you pave over and urbanize the region the hotter it is going to get

[timfeeley-]

Don't worry, in a month or so the news will all be about it getting colder !

10 million more Californians move here and the temperatures will increase even more. Every AC unit, every car, every new house generating heat and soaking up sunlight keeping the night warmer. Drying up all of our aquifers, burning down our forests

[RogueSmithers]

Gravel, glass, and concrete don't dissipate heat like natural materials for. Man made heat islands are a huge factor to warming

It’s pointless to plant trees when nobody waters them in the summer. All the fresh trees I’ve seen planted rarely survive now because of summer drought stress and little to no care.

Wow. It gets warm in the summer! Who’d a thunk it.🙄

[MrElkslayer]

To put it in a nutshell more people = less trees and more man-made building materials and vehicles = more heat

in 1996 I remember asking my dad if we had AC in the house because it was so hot in the

Hey everyone I actually study atmospheric physics but just on my own terms. Let me explain to you the effects of increasing CO2 levels of the global atmosphere. CO2 levels are higher now than in the past 3 million years. CO2 is highly reactive to the long wavelength of thermal infrared heat that is generated at the surface of the Earth. Normally thermal infrared heat wants to rise up to the atmospheric column and pass into space. Because CO2 is present in our atmosphere it naturally reacts to the long wavelength of CO2 gas. The gas molecules in CO2 vibrate at the frequency of thermal IR energy. A lot of that energy is re radiated back down towards Earth. Some of the energy is allowed to pass into space. But what's occurring is more CO2 is filling up the atmosphere and is re-radiating the energy back into the atmosphere and down to the surface of the Earth. CO2 also prevents The Escape of thermal Heat I don't know what the radiation loss per hour is but it was demonstrated in the 1860s by an amateur Scientist by the name of Eunice foot with an e on the end. I have a video of her on my YouTube channel and she discovered this purely by accident

My God you don't have AC for 5 days out of the year.

[SeattleVietnam]

They need to make a law that all apartments require AC!

[dcmasta]

Lived here in seattle since 98 and now past 2 years in Texas… Texas heat nothing compared lol

[ginop]

Wonder if all of the black top roads have anything to do with it?

[samk]

I just turned AC on. Can't sleep..

[mademsoisellerhapsody]

AND because of the smoke from fires can’t open west and southern windows. 👎

[dellalyn]

Let's not worry about the FVCKING CRIME...

[vinke]

The concerned experts. "Experts" at what? Academic/Government funds collections? Keep up the grift because We Love Global Warming!

[QuicksandontheTrail]

Surprise! It gets hot during the summer. 🤡🌎

[janncoons]

Get used to it - this is our new reality - SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO AL GORE - better yet you SHOULD have voted for

[jayell]

People who complain about the cold and rain 9 months of the year, are complaining about the heat we get a few weeks of the year. Ok.
