One of my favorite websites is WattsUpWithThat.com. It is a bit scientific for me, but it has one of the most down-to-earth, practical views on global warming<\/a> I can find. Yesterday WattsUpWithThat<\/a>\u00a0posted an article with their take on the current heat wave. The article included this picture:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The comment underneath the picture was blunt:<\/p>\n

This is weather<\/a>, not climate<\/a><\/em>. It is caused by a persistent blocking high pressure pattern. In a day or two, that red splotch over the eastern USA will be gone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every summer temperatures climb. There may be climate change due to climate cycles<\/a> that have been with us since the Earth<\/a> was formed.,but we have had heat waves since I was a small child (back in the age of dinosaurs). There was a recent article noting that there has been global warming on Mars<\/a>. If this is the case, I would tend to look at the sun as the culprit–not carbon dioxide or SUV<\/a>‘s.<\/p>\n

In case you are like charts better than pictures, this is the weather in June over the past 30 years or so:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I’m really not worried about global warming yet.<\/p>\n
