Why Is It So HOT!

[LadyKay]

Yes! I am going to complain about the heat! When is it going to end! I am sweating through my bra ! I don't even what to wear a bra cause all I do is sweat!  I'm dying here and I think I am also melting.

...and people say global warming isn't a thing.

Anyway, get a nice portable A/C unit.  Some days I wouldn't even be able to survive without it and I LIKE the heat. (I'm happy around 78f.)

Well I have to put on SPF 100 to open the refrigerator so I'm not a good judge.  Its just either "ok" or "too damn hot".

It's Summer in Michigan.

This heat has sucked mightily. I feel like I ran a marathon just doing a few things around the house. And forget about doing any yard work.

Yes, I miss doing yard work due to this heat. I was my focal point for mental relaxation. 

It hasn't been this hot in decades. It seems to me that the world is cycling through wavelengths and this particular flow mirrors weather patterns of about 30 years ago.

Actually it was worse than this in 2012.  We had more days 90 or above, last count I heard was 30.  I remember because when we moved into our apartment at the beginning of May 2012, we were moving furniture in upper 80's to low 90's which made it really rough to do.  I'd like to claim it's because I am sooooo hot but that would be a lie.

According to NASA it wasn't.  2016 is the hottest year on record:

Long story short, we're all going to die, eventually.  Maybe not our generation but future ones for sure if we don't either A. get the hell off this rock or B. move underground where the temperatures are more constant and cooler (unless you go down too far and then the heat of the earth will kill you.)

This is really interesting information. Thanks Scary Guy.
