It is very nice here. Should go into the 70's today and
be warm all
week. Lovely Indian Summer.

to which someone else replied:

70 degree weather in Ohio in November is not a lovely Indian
Summer. That is
called freakish global warming...

to which someone else replied:


global warming doesn't mean that everything gets warmer, sure
it does in
general, but specific temperatures still depend on local
weather patterns.
remember it's only what 1/50 of a degree per year or so.

so yes 70 degrees in ohio in november is def indian summer NOT global
warming.

I think the hot temperatures of late are a combination of three
things. First, there is global warming of a few degrees. Second, we
are nearing solar maximum, when the solar heating is slightly higher.
The third thing is pseudo-random chaos (i.e., weather). Due to these
combined effects, we are setting record highs all over the place and
finally seeing the effects of global warming.
