Texas Needs To Go To 125 Degrees. Perhaps They Would Get It Then.

1. Fuck that

They still wouldn’t get it and I would die. Lol

[Texasgal]

2. Shut your mouth!

I'm dying over here!

[TheMastersNemesis]

9. Sorry. It Has Been Hot In Colorado Too. Not Wishing It Would Get That Hot.

Just asking what it would take. I believe it got that hot or hotter in Pakistan recently. And India is hell in some places. Right now east coast is getting really heavy rains. Even if you say "global heating" which is what I call it GOPPERS just about assault you.

16. Today has been brutal.

it was 110! Awful! My poor AC has been churning over time! I just hope it doesn't break down.

When I left work today I walked to the parking garage and felt like standing in front of a fireplace!

UGH. But yeah, I hear you. We are breaking records here. It NEVER gets this hot before August! I'm afraid what next month will bring us!

[Blue_Roses]

25. I've been saying the same thing.

I drive for Uber and Lyft doing airport runs from DFW and I tell my riders, especially out-of-towners, that I have never recalled it getting this hot before August! I am SOOOO done with this summer!!! Get it over with!!!!

[dixiegrrrrl]

18. I think the people who cannot afford the A/C bills are getting it.

And isn't one of the kiddie concentration tent camps in Texas?

Wishing broiling temps upon innocent people isn't the way I prefer to call attention to the climate problem.
It's some of the people who CAN afford to stay cool who need the lesson..

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

27. But it's a dry heat.

That thought kept me going one summer in El Paso.

Houston would be a different story.

Stay air-conditioned, and hydrated.

3. In 20 years it will.

The exodus north is going to be mind boggling.

Canada may just have to build a wall.

[theaocp]

4. Fuck, by that point, I might BE Canadian

from down here in Detroit!

[roamer65]

5. We in Michigan are going to have 2 necessities for human life.

1. Cooler temperatures
2. Fresh water

I expect once the reality hits, we are going to have many more immigrants.

[theaocp]

6. sup sup fellow Gander

Yea, the water will bring the people, for sure. I only hope we haven't poisoned everything from the Straits before then.

[roamer65]

10. Good here.

It definitely will, unless Nestle has sucked every lake dry. I wish they would be shutdown.

[theaocp]

12. Even my RWNJ aunt is against Nestle.

When I was a kid, I would drink while swimming in Lake Superior. I don't recommend that, but it's a fond memory. The corporate shills at Nestle would never understand.

8. I think there will be a reverse migration into the Great Lakes region within the next 20 years

[argyl]

23. I've been thinking that for a while. The Great Lakes will be quite a draw for the Upper Midwest.

[roamer65]

13. Yes, we may end up being a Canadian province by then.

I would have zero problem with it.

[theaocp]

14. Legal weed, national health care, POLITENESS, ...

... dare to dream?

[roamer65]

19. If we dream it, we can achieve it.

Although it looks like we will have legal weed after November. I think that proposal is gonna pass by a huge margin.

Plus with an international border with Ohio, we can control the flow of Suckeyes in to the state.


GO BLUE.

MEEEEECHIGAN!

[theaocp]

21. Oh my. A fellow Wolverine.

Sorry, Ohio.

[DFW]

7. Maybe 150

Abbott would consider 125 to be "within acceptable tolerance." At 150° he would be the only one left.

[Blue_true]

20. What is the temperature that a healthy, young adult die from

heat exposure for X amount of time? I have seen 115 before (never in it for more than a couple of minutes), during those two minutes, my breathing was impacted.

[VMA131Marine]

22. There are two types of temperature

Dry bulb and wet bulb. The temperature commonly reported is the dry bulb temperature. Obviously, the hotter it is, the more stress it puts on the body, but you may ask why humans don't just overheat once the temperature gets above 98.6F. The reason is that the body cools by evaporation of moisture from the skin. This is where the wet bulb temperature comes into play. The wet bulb temperature is the temperature achieved by a wet surface. It is cooler than the dry bulb because changing liquid into vapour requires a lot of energy. If the wet surface is your skin then evaporation of moisture can carry away a lot of body heat. But, and you knew there would be one, the wet bulb temperature is a thermodynamic property of moist air determined by the dry bulb temperature and the humidity ratio of the air. The more humid, the closer the wet bulb is to the dry bulb because the air can hold less moisture. The upshot is that once the wet bulb gets over about 93F a human body can no longer maintain a normal body temperature and a person will get heat stroke and eventually die from overheating.

11. No, they would crank up the AC and dismiss it as a one off event on account of

Jeebus was pissed about them godless libs, gays or loud mouth wimmins. Trump TV would tell 'em it was an Obama plot, or Hillary did it, or it was some Mexican babies, or Muslims, or Dems are to blame, anything but climate change.

[catrose]

15. I think there's still kidnapped children in tents in TX. So I hope it doesn't get that hot.

[Hekate]

17. Babies in tents will die, but some GOPper already said "They're not OUR children."

So let's not even go there, okay?

[RainCaster]

24. Centigrade

That's what it will take to get their attention. Till then, we will have to listen to:

FAKE NEWS!!


BENGHAZI!!!


But her emails!!
The bastards still can't get over that.


Until Russian hackers shut down the Budweiser factory, none of those bumpkins will give a whit.

[Gothmog]

26. My middle child texted me to tell me that it was 109 degrees in Austin yesterday

It was only 102 in Houston according to my car
