OT: what's up with this heat?

It's more because of a pattern change that is slow to happen. Transitioning from a la Nina to el niño and the el niño has been slow to come. Add to that the cool pool of water just off of California has not warmed yet. That causes there to be more troughs in the east pacific and ridging of the continental US and you have a big heat wave and drought. Pattern has happened before especially in the 50s.
See....scientific explanations and not OMG!!!1!!1 WE ARE GOING TO DIE GLOBAL WARMING AHHHHHH

I actually believe Spolestra deserves more credit than he is getting. I don't know how he manages all those personalities/egos and keep all the players content with the amount of touches they get. They don't have the bodies like Shaq and Zo down low but they play to their strengths by trying to force turnovers and run in transition. Wait, were you talking about the weather?

(17 days) of temps over 100 degrees F, and that was just a few years after the "looming ice age" news had broken. (1980 Heat Wave)
High temp records (at least for the last 100 years or so) are being set... most by one or two degrees... in cities of concrete, black top, and little green space. Was global warming around back in 1915; when the city I live near had no black-topped roads, a few brick streets, a few concrete buildings, a few more brick buildings, but mostly wooden buildings... and a TON of green space and the temp was only one degree cooler than the new ("The end is upon us.") record?
Criminy. Summer rolls around, the temp gets high, a record is set (we think our measurements are consistent) for the last 40 or 50 years, and we act like we know that the temp has never been hotter despite having, basically, no viable records before1850.
It's summer. It's gonna be hot. Every now and then it's gonna be real hot and real dry. If this pattern lasts for a couple of months and starts recurring every three out of five summers, then I may get concerned.

There are record highs all over the country; we just came off the warmest winter on record; and we're in the midst of the hottest year on record.<div>
</div><div>If you want to say that it's a blip or anomaly or whatever, that's fine. I don't know enough about climate change to argue. But to claim this is completely normalcomparedto every other summer is pure ********.</div>

...as we all know, the 1930's was full of SUV's chugging huge amounts of greenhouse gas into the atmosphere.<div>

On I-55 just south of Senatobia in 1980 when it was 107, got burns from the pavement changing the tire.
That really it's that long in the grand scheme of things.
Europe had one top 10 coldest winters on record this past winter. Of course the cold weather was blame on global warming. What the h!ll
I get amazed at the autistic view of many.

<span style="font-style: italic;">North America</span> is coming off of the warmest winter on record. Middle-Eastern Europe experienced record breaking cold weather this past winter, and some 300 people died as a result with temps getting down to neg 24 in places that it shouldn't have. North Africa even got some snow. Think about that for a second...it snowed... IN AFRICA.
"Climate change" is all about averages. What's the weather like in Miami? Pretty normal? 90 degrees? Well, I'd say the heat wave is due to the jet stream more than anything. When it gets to 120 in Florida we can talk about how the world is going to end because of SUVs and cow farts.

Also go look at the 30's and 50's and you will find summers that were very similar to what is happening this year. The patterns are reflective of what the oceans are doing. Right now the northern Pacific is cooler than normal and the northern Atlantic is warmer than normal and we are transitioning from la nina to el nino. It's not out of the norm to see a summer like this with the pattern.
