I don't know about the science...but I do know that much of the US has been experiencing 2-3 weeks of high temperatures...much over 100 degrees f. I just talked to my cousin in LA, and she said that in San Fernando Valley (just north of LA city) the temperature reached 118 in the last week (or something like 48c !!). They have wild fires already, and this fall will definitely be worse. Frightening...is this where we are heading, or is this only a rare occurence?
