Our world is getting warmer. This we know.

Just look at Los Angeles, which experienced all-time record heat in July, topping out at 118 degrees Fahrenheit. Dozens of other heat records across the United States were smashed this summer alone.

But how much will temperatures in US cities change by 2050? By then, scientists say average global warming since preindustrial levels could be about twice what it is in 2018 — and much more obvious and disruptive. It’s a world you’ll (probably) be living in. And it’s the one we’re definitely handing off to the next generation.

To answer this question, we looked at the average summer high and winter low temperatures in 1,000 cities in the continental US, comparing recorded and modeled temperatures from 1986 to 2015 to projections for 2036 to 2065. This offers us the best possible estimate on how much winters and summers will shift from 2000 to 2050. (More on our methodology here.)

Here’s how much the winters and summers in the city closest to you are predicted to change about 30 years from now.

So, with the rise in temps and See Uh Oh 2, we should have a longer growing season and more abundant crop yields. Sounds good.

BS.

They can’t even predict tomorrow’s weather with that much certainty.

This story is reported as fact, it should be theory. Throw in a few maybes or possibly or could be would make this “story” more believable.

I worked up my own computer model. According to my model, Los Angeles will under a mile of ice within 5 years.

Of course, you know, computer models just say what they are told to say.

Why not show how it has already changed in the generation since “global warming” was first ginned up as an issue? That data would be easy to check, I would think.

After Katrina, they predicted Cat 5 as an annual event. How did that prediction work out for them.

Climate is a guess. We cannot control it.

Malachi, Chapter 4:1-3

...For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts...
