Cygnia Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 Back in 1986, I won my local science fair with a project on how carbon dioxide affected the atmosphere, including global warming.

The movies are doing extremely well, but the comics have gone in a different direction than the movies, and have seen sales plummet. On that front I can't call Quesada's tenure a "creative" period, and I'm not sorry to see him go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Ugh. It is early June, 2 weeks until solstice, so it's not surprising, but the upcoming stretch is gonna be brutal. 103, 104, 100, 104, 105, 106, 104, 104, 105, 102, 102, 100. Counting yesterday, if those are right...12 days in a row of triple digits.... And 105 is...not close to the all-time record, but by and large, it's about the highest we typically get. Anything over that is very unusual, in my experience. Which means, at least we're nowhere near as bad as Tucson or Phoenix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Heh. Here in Seattle we haven't broken 80 F yet, and have made 70 F only a handful of days. It has been a cool, wet year so far here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
