re: "After recalculating data from last year, the nation's climatologists are declaring that Oklahoma suffered through the hottest summer ever recorded in the U.S."
Okay, that's interesting.
Now consider that record-setting heat is NOT how "global warming" would manifest itself. The tiny change in the earth's temperature (less than 2 degrees over 100 years or more) would, at most, result in slight diversions of air streams and ocean currents. Some places might start getting cold or wet weather a little more often than they used to.
Global warming would not likely cause "the hottest summer ever recorded in the U.S."
What you've posted is an indication of how desperate the panic-mongers behind the global-warming spoof have become. Ignorant people think they're going to notice a 2 degree temperature change, so stories like yours are the ones that get pushed.
By the way, I SERIOUSLY doubt that either Oklahoma or Texas would have the hottest temperature ever recorded in the United States. Have you ever been to Arizona in the Summer? Las Vegas? How about DEATH VALLEY, CALIFORNIA?
I've been to all three. I've been to OK and TX too. Oklahoma and Texas at their worst are ... a "drink of water" in comparison.
