If you look at the temp map of the Us it is amazing to see all the 90+ and 100+ temps. One small town in Kansas got to 115. That is hotter than Phoenix. It looks like a record summer just about everywhere and it is not even July yet.
Any bets that it will get to 120 somewhere in the US. What about 125? The results of global warming may come much quicker than anyone thinks.
I remember the Bell telephone science series in the 1950's and they had a special on weather where they talked about the prospect of global warming even then.
