subject: Turning Up The Heat

The following news article is yet more proof that Global Warming is real.
Consider this key paragraph from the article:

----- Begin Quote -----

The stifling heat blanketing the mid-Atlantic this summer seems to be PART
OF A GLOBAL TREND. So far, 2010 is on track to overtake 2005 as THE WARMEST
YEAR EVER RECORDED FOR THE PLANET, according to the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration.

Furthermore, we know from God's Word that what the world is experiencing now
with higher than normal temperatures, is nothing compared to how bad it will
get in coming years, as God continues to literally turn up the heat, in His
effort to get the world's attention, and try to convince them to turn away
from their sins. As I have shared before, the Book of Revelation tells us
the following:

"And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given
unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and
blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they
repented not to give him glory." Revelation 16:8-9, KJV

And yet they will not repent of their sins. How sad! Following is the full
article from the New York Times:


The Heat Goes On, Scorching Much of the Nation

By ERIK ECKHOLM - NYT

July 24, 2010


WASHINGTON -- When people in the nation's capital talked about an endless
summer this week, they did not mean surfing or margaritas (though they
surely craved them). Throughout the mid-Atlantic states, from New York to
Georgia, and out through the Great Plains, the heat this spring and summer
has been relentless, causing clothes, hair and spirits to wilt well before
the dog days of August.

Saturday, as one meteorologist had predicted with scientific precision, was
"one of those just downright awful summer days."

Even as a tropical storm visited Florida, and California continued its
strange cold streak, in much of the East a Bermuda High was pushing weekend
temperatures to the 100 range and humidity beyond the tolerable.

It is not that any one day has set an all-time heat record, but a large area
of the country has been assaulted by a succession of heat waves. Washington
in June recorded the highest average temperature for the month since record
keeping began in 1871 -- including 18 days of 90 degrees or more. July is on
its way to a similar unwelcome record.

In New York City, temperatures in July have averaged 5.5 degrees above
normal, according to the private weather service AccuWeather.

Standing in Kansas City's scorching sun, motorcycle police officers holding
radar guns bemoaned polyester pants that cannot breathe, and said they were
stuffing cooling packs inside their bullet-proof vests. Zoo officials fed
ice cubes to otters and asked visitors to come early in the day, when the
animals were more active.

Some people were determined to maintain their routines no matter what. Ted
Iobst, 24, an analyst at the Atlantic Media Company in Washington, has been
arriving at work two hours early recently, largely to beat the heat. But
even in early morning, "the cyclists coming over the bridge have looked like
they've just finished a stage in the Tour de France," he said.

Perhaps no one is more acutely aware of the weather than the homeless.

A few men stood beneath a tree outside Washington's largest shelter, sipping
"cold, cold, cold Slurpees," in the words of Anthony Davis, 53, a resident.
He had ventured outside to stretch his legs.

Ordinarily, the 1,300 residents of his shelter, the Community for Creative
Nonviolence, must leave the building in the morning, returning at night. But
on Friday, like most of the days this month, the city declared a "red
alert," permitting residents to stay inside the air-conditioned facility, to
prevent heat-related deaths. The city declared nine red alerts in June and
15 so far in July. In 2009, there were two for the same period.

Many cities and towns, including New York, Washington and Las Vegas, have
set up "cooling centers," air-conditioned public spaces where people can go
to cool off and drink some cold water. Washington has also distributed
hundreds of free electric fans to the poor, but had run out of them by
mid-July.

Defining heat-related deaths is difficult, and most locations could not
provide current numbers, but Maryland officials have blamed the heat for
causing the deaths of 16 people so far this year.

In Richmond, Va., where people jump into the James River for relief, two of
them drowned during the last month.

Since temperatures began their spiral in June, Washington's emergency
medical services have received 30 percent more calls than usual, many of
them related to the heat, said Peter Piringer, a spokesman for the District
of Columbia Fire and Emergency Medical Services.

Between the extra trips and hotter weather, air-conditioners in the
ambulances have been failing, with nearly one in five vehicles out of
commission each day.

The stifling heat blanketing the mid-Atlantic this summer seems to be part
of a global trend. So far, 2010 is on track to overtake 2005 as the warmest
year ever recorded for the planet, according to the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration.

In Germany, a French fry crisis is looming: the length of fries may decline
by nearly half an inch because heat and drought have cut the harvest of
larger potatoes, Reuters reported.

But even the endless summer of 2010 cannot compare to the hottest year of
all, said Stephen Fybish, a weather historian in New York. In a class by
itself, he said, was the Dust Bowl summer of 1936, when 15 states set
records for heat that stand to this day.

Still, the news did not bring much relief to Zach Massey, a produce vendor
at the Soulard Farmer's Market in St. Louis. Although business was brisk on
Friday, the heat was too much for him, and he was closing his stand early
for the day.

"I'll sell this stuff tomorrow," Mr. Massey, 19, said as he drew
a tarp over
the day's unsold strawberries. "I'm going swimming."
