Whats with the heat and extreme high temperatures??

I have to admit that I cant stand the weather anymore,

I cant recall any time before that where temperatures have risen to that level, and what make things worse is the F%^& electricity situation in Lebanon, I'm making gallons out of my sweat alone  , have to bath 3 times a day...

anyways i stumbled by accuweather today and checked out the temperatures, I actually wasa bit shocked to see this

I mean seriously wtf?? is there any reasonable explanation for that?? i remember when summer was  all about 28 degrees...

PS. IMO Global Warming is BS

Global Warming is not just a bit few degrees more hot weather.
It is MUCH more extreme weather and disasters... destabilization of earth balance.
Usually it leads to extinction of many species.

Hehe. I thought you were going to talk about your PC overheating or something. Just do what I did and come to Africa. It's winter here compared to Beirut!

On a more positive note, you can be happy that the "warming" in Global Warming is just temporary. We'll eventually freeze to death.

Thats what I did a UPS + 150A Truck Battery and a fan too, bass after 5 hours of use mabaddak a constant kahraba to charge them, so its kind of a semi-solution...

Re: Whats with the heat and extreme high temperatures??

I have AC 24/7 :-D (It's one of these models that automatically go back on after a power cut), and electricity is 24/24.
I have to say I got sick of A/C before yesterday, I had to turn it off for the afternoon and open the window. I was really feeling sick of living in the artificial atmosphere all the time, but the next day it was back to usual. Maybe the oxygen got depleted because i didn't open the window for so long :-)
On the bright side it's a great weather for going to the beach.
And I'll allow access to my constantly cooled room at 1000LL/hour/person

Also, if you feel really bad, think about the guy who died this year in Finland in the "Sauna Championships" "final match", due to bad burns, with heat exceeding 110 degrees C. His competitor also was badly injured and had to be hospitalized.

Re: Whats with the heat and extreme high temperatures??

I don't mind heat, it's the humidity that kills me. Fuck I hate humidity. I can take a lot of heat (unlike cold... I hate the cold) but I hate being humid!

I think we have it relatively easy... look at what is going on in other parts of the world this summer. Floods, fires, storms, more floods,... the world's climate is truly and undeniably messed up.

Has no one else noticed the gradual change in Lebanese climate over the years? Each year the moderate seasons (autumn and spring) are shrinking and the extreme seasons (winter and summer) are getting longer. The delicate balance of our four seasons is getting destroyed.

Global Worming is just beginning, what's next is even worse unless the world's crappy governments decide to solve this problem and stop wasting time on how to make more money and take control of the planet.

That's not the cheaper version of some new technology, that's a terribly outdated yet still efficient one!
