The lack of night time cooling is a hallmark of global warming due to increased concentration of atmospheric greenhouse gases.
We had better stop burning fossil fuels toot sweet, because this kind of thing is only going to become more widespread, frequent, and severe.
It has been over 80 degrees at 1am & 3 am, the last 2 nights, here in Cincinnati Ohio. It's still only Spring. We're in big trouble.
You said it.
We could begin by ending the mowing of gargantuan lawns. Mowers pollute far more than our vehicles as they have no pollution prevention devices.
Not to mention the collosal waste of water those lawns represent (at least in the southwestern USA).
@Flyingsaucesir My point exactly.
I have been wondering how cattle in the south are doing.
Part of the problem is the market place that demands consistency. (Monoculture)
Agriculture of all kinds is getting harder to do pretty much everywhere. If it isn't a drought then it's too much rain, or a warm spell followed by a killing frost. Southern England is a notable exception. They're growing wine grapes in Dover now, while that is becoming increasingly difficult in traditional wine provinces of France.
Ask Trajan61 in the Conservative Atheist group as he is a cattle rancher in OK. Avoid politics & he can give one a view of conditions first hand. We are politically at odds but he has helped me understand the "loyal opposition". We have also found common ground on abortion, cannabis legalization, & extremism in both camps. He probably will interject BLAME on our view of things, but I have been able to engage him in conversation sans the vitriol experienced by the culture "war". He is a cattle rancher. I am a near vegetarian. So just a suggestion if you so choose.
