What a relief - unfortunately I have to go there next week, and I was worried that it might happen sooner. I will note that I must be back by the end of the century. *g
There it is. The real cause. Yet there is no plan to deal with this.
Good. Maybe a lot of the libretards out there will experience severe brain boil and be comatose in Nov. Wait, they already ARE comatose...
BURN BABY BURN!!
Sounds like the effect of the city's buildings and paving being a huge heat sink. As the mass of the buildings and paving increase, the temperature increases at night, because the heat collected during the day is released into the cooler night air.
Patzert conveniently did not mention the temperature in the surrounding less-densely built areas.
"... increase in asphalt and decrease in shade trees..."
Hells bells, I have a 20ac nursery with 40,000 trees and shrubs. I'll sell and install all the darned greenery they need. Just ask, folks in LA-LA Land! And be prepared to write a big check.
This happened in Paris last year. 15,000 dead as I recall. I wonder why it'll take so long to reach LA.
I have heard that Atlanta is requireing heat-reflective roofing for new and repaired roofing to help reduce heat absorption.
Most of LA is a desert and if the illegals were to be shipped out there would be plenty of water.
But, it's a dry heat.
Stop flying to Oregon for windsurfing and haircuts.
I like your attitude.
LA needs more "shade" trees. Palm trees just don't make it.
Of course trees take water, and there is not enough of that.
By the way, what is behind your selection of "7.62 x 51 mm"?
That's my AR-10's NATO round designation; aka .308cal.

Tooo coool.
"LA needs more "shade" trees. Palm trees just don't make it.

The world is 2/3 water. Someone just needs to figure out how to desalinate sea water quickly and cheaply, and they'll be a trillionaire.
True.
Cheaply is a problem. But if we could just get around the "Greens", and unleash Nuclear power, we could have all the desalinated water that we wanted.
A desalination plant is currently being constructed in Long Beach.
Gads why is Yahoo posting an identical story on this just today?? More media spread junk science.
The sky is falling, the sky is falling!!
