A hot time in the old town..or..another reason for me to avoid L.A.

Climate Change to Bring More Hot Days to Los Angeles Region: UCLA Study

The Los Angeles region is expected to see more days above 95 degrees by the middle of the 21st Century, according to a first-ever report from UCLA on the local impacts of climate change.

The report, "Mid-Century Warming in the Los Angeles Region," predicts that temperatures will rise an average of 4.6 degrees Fahreneit if greenhouse-gas emissions continue to increase at current levels.

The change would mean three times today's number of extremely hot days in downtown LA, and four times as many in the surrounding valleys and mountain areas.

LeapinGnome-

Do you believe everything you read? NBC in L.A.?

Did you notice that the "UCLA" study was funded by a special interest group?

About the
Los Angeles Regional Collaborative for Climate Action and Sustainability

Purpose

The Los Angeles Regional Collaborative for Climate Action and Sustainability is a network designed to encourage greater coordination and cooperation at the local and regional levels by bringing together leadership from government, the business community, academia, labor, environmental and community groups. The purpose of this collaboration is to share information, foster partnerships, and develop system-wide strategies to address climate change and promote a green economy through sustainable communities.

The green economy means sucking taxpayers dry to pay for non-scientific predictions heavily tainted with eco-ideology.

Sorry.

Take me out to the ball park-
Great pitchers out there and a rash of no hitters-still the home run average is up. What's up with that?

Global Warming Could Bring Grand-Slam Weather
It's a fact: summer brews the best weather recipe for home-run conditions.
Balls have the potential to travel farther in summer months because air expands as it warms, making a warm summer day prime conditions for home-run hopefuls, said Expert Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson.
Robert Adair, a retired physics professor from Yale University, calculated that a 2-degree rise in temperature will add a foot to a 400-foot home-run ball in his book "The Physics of Baseball."

All we have is the Bees- minor league, but they're still fun to watch on a summer evening.

Pretty direct link to atmospheric CO2 levels with this issue.

Of course, another 80 and they will catch up to Dauncey.
