This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Well, that is largely caused by cars.

Even without global warming, 100°f days or not exactly uncommon in large chunk of the US.

Not anymore, no. They used to be quite uncommon. Just as a reminder, we have been dumping CO2 in the atmosphere since before anyone living was ever born.

Even the generous estimates only put us at about 1°c increase by human activity. While the large scale effects of this are causing problems, it doesn't really change the fact that there are plenty of 100°F days even discounting that increase.

There didn't use to be so many days over 100F in FL. And there didn't use to be so many warm days in the dead of winter in North Dakota.
