Buuuuuuuut at least tangential to the topic. Once you hit 110F... it's just degrees of hot. Honestly after 100F, 110F-120F feels just about the same. HOT! I was doing some roofing on our house at 95F in the morning and 110F in the afternoon. I felt the same amount of sh*tty at both temps (and everything between).  |
However small what we do, less is less and it is something I can easily control.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/a...k-a-lawnmower/. When many of us mow we also use a gas blower, trimmer and edger which is not included in the estimate. I agree, as in this case corporations very seldom have a conscience. all manufactures would have to do is add emission devices to small engines. Because of competition that won't happen unless it is federally mandated.
But, at least tangible to the topic, I suspect there will be new records in more and more places each year and more issues stemming from the associated drought. It appears that historically hot places are getting hotter but it looks like there are many places that are trending for the 'honor' of being the hottest. I hope it isn't in Texas.
