Global Warming Takes A Holiday


Don't get me wrong, I absolutely believe that global warming is a real threat to our planet. But this weekend the gods of summer are shining down on us. The Valley of the Sun lives up to its name but the temperature is unseasonably pleasant.

The high yesterday was 84 degrees. On Memorial weekend we expect at least 103 degrees with the low near 84. Next weekend it will be back up to 100+ but for now we bask in the splendor that is mild weather worthy of a northern state's summer.

I have proof of this phenomenon. See this picture of Leah? Her skin is actually touching the swing set. During a typical year from May through October, children cannot touch metal at the risk of 3rd degree burns but there she is playing like a kid in Oregon or Minnesota or New Hampshire or California.
