    Bans have happened many times in the past and will happen many times in the future.

    Two years ago in Nova Scotia, many homes were destroyed near the provincial capitol, Halifax, becuase of wildfires.
    You're a good subject. That's what you all are up there........subjects not citizens.


    Canananada should pay us reparations!!!!!

      I think civics is a good subject. You could use a good civics lesson.

      As for the wildfire smoke, suck it up snowflake

        So far this year here in Bakersfield we have had only 18 days with highs of 100 or more with 7 more expected this month. The highest has been 105. Last year we had 61 with the highest being 115. Apparently Biden's plan last year heated it up quite a lot more than the Republican plan this year. https://www.extremeweatherwatch.com/...of-100-degrees
        Wow congrats it's not fake Heat

        I believe you just made the point of the entire thread

            .... true. Almost everyone is complying. 10 fines of $25k have been issued. When a heavy rainfall is rec'd (none in forecast) the ban will be lifted.

                    Yeah, social distancing and masks were so highly effective.

                        Human caused climate change is non existent compared to what nature can do.

                        527978881_637028079427722_3480633812996792856_n.jpg
                        On August 27 1883 the Earth let out a roar so loud it shattered all records. The volcanic island of Krakatoa in Indonesia exploded with such violent force that it literally blew itself apart. The blast was so loud it was heard over 3,000 miles away. In the Indian Ocean sailors went deaf from the sound. People in Australia thought they were being bombed. Even in South Africa ships were tossed by a sea surge they couldn’t explain.

                        This was not just a volcanic eruption. It was an earth-shaking world-changing catastrophe. The sky turned black as ash blocked out the sun. Massive tsunamis taller than 15-story buildings slammed into coastlines. Entire villages vanished in seconds. More than 36,000 lives were lost in the chaos.

                        One of the most chilling accounts came from a British ship just 40 miles from the explosion. The captain’s final note read “My last thoughts are with my dear wife. I am convinced the Day of Judgement has come.” After that nothing more was heard from him or his crew.

                        But Krakatoa’s rage didn’t stop at the blast zone. Ash from the eruption circled the globe for months. Sunsets turned blood red across continents. Global temperatures dropped. Weather patterns went wild. The planet felt the effects for years.

                        The Krakatoa eruption of 1883 is still considered the loudest sound in recorded history. It was a terrifying reminder of just how powerful nature can be and how quickly everything can change. One island’s fury echoed across oceans changed global climate and left scars that science is still studying today.

                        When Krakatoa screamed the entire world heard it and nothing was ever the same again.

                            Awesome!!!!! I live at the beach and I love it when we have a warm fall after the tourists are gone. We call it "Local's Summer".

                              You need to stop listening to USA Today for weather and check a site that has been about weather only for decades. "The fall of 2025 is expected to bring a mix of weather patterns across the United States, with early chills in the North, lingering warmth in the South, and potential storms throughout the season."

                              Transition-to-Fall.webp
                              Well what do you know. It appears that your transition to cooler weather will be near average. As for the Pacific Southwest, that ridge is very common.
                              The start of autumn may feel like an extension of summer across most of the United States, but colder (and snowier) weather is in the forecast. Here's what you can expect in your area this fall.

                                The Weather Stations We Never Had
                                How sparse thermometers and generous infilling built a global temperature story


                                A central pillar of the climate-crisis narrative is simple enough to fit on a bumper sticker… today is the hottest in human history. That line only works if you accept, without question, that we have reliable, global temperature data before satellites. We do not. What we have is a patchwork of land stations concentrated in a few developed regions, a lot of ocean guesses from ship tracks, and then, later, generous statistical infilling.

                                Everyone agrees the 1930s were brutally hot across the United States… the Dust Bowl was a humanitarian and ecological disaster. Crops failed, soils blew away, and heat waves killed thousands. NOAA’s own retrospectives still call out 1936 as a benchmark summer, and July 1936 remains a singular month in the U.S. record.

                                Atmospheric CO₂ at that time was roughly 310 PPM, a level derived from ice core records and widely used in NASA’s GISS datasets.

                                So the story we are told goes like this… yes, the U.S. was scorched in the 1930s, but the world was cooler, and only in the modern era did global temperatures rise everywhere. That story depends less on observations and more on algorithms.
                                ​Before 1950, most thermometers were in the United States, Europe, and parts of the British Commonwealth. Large parts of Africa, South America, the Arctic, and the Southern Ocean had little to no routine coverage. Even the NOAA-led overview of GHCN-Daily notes how the core database is a collage of many sources with varying periods of record… that is the raw material modern analyses inherit.

                                Now the uncomfortable part. When there are no thermometers, you either leave grid boxes blank, or you paint numbers in from far away. HadCRUT historically left many boxes blank, explicitly avoiding interpolation, which means the “global” mean depends on where you have observations. NASA’s GISTEMP goes the other direction and spreads anomalies up to twelve hundred kilometers from a station, filling the gaps with 1200 km smoothing. Those are not trivial choices, they are the ballgame.

                                If you overlay the 1930s anomaly map with the station density maps, you see something obvious… warm where the thermometers were numerous, cool or neutral where coverage was threadbare. A compilation of historical station distribution between 1921 and 1950 makes the same basic point… the network was sparse and badly unbalanced. Today’s “records,” the jet-exhaust problem


                                Fast forward to the present day and we add a new contaminant… urban heat and airport placement. I have shown, with time-matched photos and flight logs, how Tampa’s much hyped 100°F “record” was a five-minute artifact of a Delta jet idling beside the sensor. I walked through the same playbook in Phoenix when Sky Harbor trotted out an “August record” built on back-to-back departure plumes. If you missed those, read my recent two-parter, Jet-Fueled Lies: Tampa’s Fake Temperature Record and Jet-Fueled Lies, Phoenix Edition. They are cautionary tales about how compromised data gets laundered into national datasets and weaponized into headlines.
