what happens when you pave over your land. Pavement heats. CA has paved over millions of ag land over.
-
Orange county ca is 87 degrees maybe 90 ... Not too bad but what is bad is $400 a months electric bill.

This heat is not so unusual. They are just losing the prior records. We usually get two heat waves in July, one at the beginning, one later and one gully washer rain storm. This is panic prgramming. And it was 117° twice when I was in Vegas. This is exactly how they amped up the COVID fiasco.

I'm in Palm Springs and it is 122 right now
-
114 in my car in Valencia, Ca. I had to drive up the grapevine during the hottest time of day, and I lost count of the overheated cars.

but but protection from fires makes the hillsides look ugly...and cost money
-
California is hell. So yea hell is hot.
-
It is 113 today in Newberry springs ca, 20 miles north of Barstow

“Be afraid! Be very afraid! It’s hot!” (It’s summer). In a few more months we will hear: “Be afraid! Be very afraid! It’s cold!” (It’s winter).

Thank you unregulated capitalism
-
So...in other words a typical California Summer?
-
Let it burn, hopefully it will clean up all the trash.
-
……California is ALWAYS on fire. 🤷🏼♂️🤔🤷🏼♂️

105 in Walnut Creek.

One thing about summer, it gets hot and don’t forget come winter it will get cold. Nothing new nothing unusual.
-
So how do we hold big oil culpable for the suffering that we and subsequent generations are feeling - not just in the United States, but globally?!
-
I remember in Orland/Chico in the 80-90s it would reach 112 every summer… hated it. Can’t imagine living there this summer. Sorry y’all :( take care of your CHILDREN and PETS
