Whew. Glad I don't fucking live anywhere near there, holy shit. Above 70 and I start hating life.

I like how they point out SEVERAL times that they could be wrong about previously recorded temperatures but this one is TOTALLY correct, guys.


If you think about it, it's only 15o more than the hottest recorded temperature in Minnesota, which honestly I think is bullshit because I've ABSOLUTELY been part of some 115oF+ days

Oh, my point: I don't think basing weather patterns on less than 100 years worth of "reliable" data is a smart move. This isn't directed towards you, it's directed towards scientists and their scare tactics.
