14 DAY TRIAL // It is no news that these past few weeks have brought extreme heat waves in various regions across the world. Climatologists now argue that most of these temperatures were record-breaking, and environmentalists claim that it is all due to climate change.
Back in the 1930s, breeches of ecological and agricultural protocols allowed for the people living in America and in Canada to face impressive dust storms coupled with lengthy periods of extreme drought.
It now seems that June and July of 2012 might have just broken the temperature record establish during the Dust Bowl era.
Climate Central speaks about cities such as Baltimore, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Detroit, Philadelphia and Washington DC having to deal with temperature of well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (roughly 38 degrees Celsius).
The same source informs us that the people living in Chicago had no choice but to carry on as best as they could with their daily routines whilst thermometers indicated record temperatures: almost 13.8 degrees Fahrenheit (about 10 degrees Celsius) above normal.
All things considered, most climatologists agree that these past few summer weeks more than live up to the challenge of breaking down most – if not all – previously established records in terms of heat waves intensity and duration.
As was to be expected, green heads also joined the discussion, making a case of how this is all due to climate change and global warming.
From their standpoint, human society and its being utterly disinterested in environmental protection are the one to blame for these extreme weather manifestations.
Thus, but for climate change caused by ever-increasing levels of pollution, none of this would be happening.
It is our belief that these environmentalists are right when making these claims and that, but for implementing proper projects aimed at tackling this situation, temperatures worldwide will only continue to spike.
