Minnesota temperatures next week will be “extreme out-of-the-ordinary” — just like Bachmann and Pawlenty
National Weather Service: “The stage is being set for a massive heat wave to develop into next week as a large area of high pressure is anticipated to circulate hot and humid air over much of the central and eastern U.S. Maximum heat index values of at least 100°F are likely across much of this area by the middle of next week, with heat index values in excess of 110°F possible over portions of these areas.”
Extremist climate science deniers like Michele Bachmann and Tim Pawlenty are campaigning tirelessly to give their state the climate of Texas. That is what would happen if the nation and the world continues to follow in their preferred path of doing absolutely nothing to reduce emissions of planet-warming greenhouse gases.
I know it is just a coincidence, but Minnesota is going to get a taste over the next several days of a Tea Party future (as will much of the rest of the country). CNN reports today:
Extreme heat indices — how the air feels, with heat and humidity — are expected to reach up to 116 degrees in Minneapolis next week.
“These are extreme out-of-the-ordinary temperatures for Minnesota,” CNN meteorologist Sean Morris said.
Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington and other areas in Texas experienced afternoon heat indices of 105 degrees or more through Thursday.
The month of June was the hottest recorded for Texas since 1895, according to the National Weather Service.
But since Bachmann and Pawlenty are working to turn Minnesota into Texas, it is worth remembering that the ‘adaptation’ strategy of Gov. Rick Perry of Texas has been to designate 3 “days of prayer for rain” while cutting the budget of agency battling record wildfires.
It would seem no one is actually listening to Perry’s prayers because the only alternative would be to believe that whoever is listening is doing the exact opposite of what Perry has prayed for. As the latest U.S. Drought Monitor shows, the Texas drought is considerably worse than when Perry issued an “official proclamation drawing on his constitutional authority designating three days as Days of Prayer for Rain” back in April:
Yes, back in mid-April, only 10% of Texas was under exceptional drought. Now a staggering 71% is!
[Given Perry's track record, it seems pretty scary that, as TP reports, Rick Perry Wants To Leave Government ‘In God’s Hands,’ Says ‘God, You’re Gonna Have To Fix This’.]
Of course, we don’t really have any short-term strategies to address extreme weather. In the longer term, prayer would appear to be a non-optimal approach, given Texas’s experience.
Sharply reducing greenhouse gas emissions, however, would seem our best hope of sharply reducing the prospects that the Southwest becomes a permanent dust bowl and that Minnesota gets the climate of Texas. It has the benefit of science underpinning it.

And the Beat goes on…..or the Heat goes on. Perry is going to need more then a Prayer for the drought and heat in Texas. As this decade ends- the drought and heat will become a persistent weather event.
I hope Ms. Bachmann’s children enjoy the weather of present day St. Louis Missouri- that’s the climate they will see in their adulthood, with even more extremes of heat, drought and storms.

“And how about rain that only came in nice, comfy showers and not torrential downpours that show up out of nowhere and drown your cat?”
“Oh, I was telling the kids about old-fashioned rain last week. They didn’t believe me.”
“Well, we’ve been praying constantly for what, 40, 50 years now? I’m sure God’ll come around and decide we’ve had enough any day now.”
“Oh, no question. I saw Jesus in a pancake last week, so it’s almost over.”
July 20 at 6:12pm
I’m concerned that maybe these people might be praying to the wrong God. Has Governor Perry considered that Zeus is pretty ticked off at all this whining to ‘Jesus’ and isn’t sending any more rain til he gets some goddam goat’s meat! Or Zororaster, or Allah, or the Atman, or Marmaduke, Queztaquatl.
C’mon!! Get real!!! We ALL know that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is God! get with the program!!!
July 18 at 5:16pm
Or maybe he should be praying to Jesus, but St Paul was all wrong about Gentiles being Christians and that, worse than gay marriage, God wasn’t kidding about shellfish in Deuteronomy and we are just one more lobster dinner at the White House away from another flood.
Or Martin Luther was all wrong and Perry has got to get a priest at least, maybe a Monsignor…

Mr. Huckee – what do “PRO-AGW,” “AGW” and “CAGW” mean?
Of the 20 definitions for “AGW” I found on acronymfinder.com the first is “anthropogenic global warming”, but the second is “anti-global warming”, and “Atmospheric Gravity Waves” is also on the list. So I have NO idea what you were trying to say.
It is always an excellent idea to define your acronyms on first use. Better yet avoid acronyms entirely and actually write what you mean.

I pray, God, that myself and everyone else sees our short-sighted, willful, wanton greed, selfishness and stupidity and immediately and forever changes to expressing your limitless love for the poorest and most vulnerable among us and all your other creation instead.

I normally defer to federal agency expertise. However, given the number of unusual weather events around the world over the last couple of years, NOAA’s attributions of unusual weather to normal variation in blocking events (http://researchmatters.noaa.gov/news/Pages/NaturalVariabilityMainCulpritofDeadlyRussianHeatWaveThatKilledThousands.aspx / http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/csi/moscow2010/ ) is wearing a bit thin.

Not to rain on your parade, but I gotta say that it was wonderful to ride my bicycle home today in the rain – one of the few decent rains we’ve had in many months. (The county in which I live has been in the exceptional drought part of the map for more than 3 months.)
Rick Perry is a disastrous governor who is counting on the laziness of the national media to make him look like a “successful” conservative governor who has guided his state through the great recession with less damage than “liberal” states like California. If he decides to run for president, that’s what he’ll be counting on. The truth is that Texas avoided the housing boom by “luck” – it was the center of the S&L scandal of the early nineties and was still recovering from its real estate hangover when the latest housing bubble was roaring in much of the rest of the country – Texas’ didn’t have a housing bubble and subsequent foreclosure orgy because it was still recovering from one already (and the rest of the country’s taxpayers bailed the state’s financial institutions out.)
Rick Perry’s campaign donors are in the process of staging a coup d’etat in the state’s two leading universities; watch the national ranking of UT-Austin and Texas A&M for the next few years and it is virtually certain you will see a preciptitous decline – that is all Rick Perry’s doing.

According to Commodity Weather Group LLC, the heat wave is expected to move east in the forthcoming week, and then possibly regroup in the central states.

Prayer doesn’t save lives, itt doesn’t win you the lottery, it doesn’t win football games, and it does not make it rain. Grow up governer.

I only wish that those who are so ready to invoke their Christian deity, would read what they profess to be his flawless manual – “God will destroy those who destroy the earth.” Rev 11:18.
The CNN meteorologist saying a heat wave in July is “extremely out of the ordinary” has no idea what he’s talking about. July in Minnesota is traditionally very hot and humid. I know that because I have lived here most of my life. There is a stereotype I suppose that it’s always cool here, but July and August are very often extremely hot. The humidity makes it feel 10-20 degrees hotter than it is. Yes it’s uncomfortable. It’s why we all have air conditioning and several swimsuits. It’s called “Summer”.
July 15 at 11:30pm
My mom remembered a very hot muggy summer vacation at Leech Lake MN, back in the 1920s, and it involved a road trip from Pennsylvania. The family didn’t try MN again, as hot muggy summers were available in PA.
The current heat wave prediction for MN is still distinctive, particularly for areas likely to exceed 110F and patches that could go above 115F, even if you’ve seen 108F as the state high in the past year.
July 16 at 9:04am
I have lived in MN all my life. This is exceptional heat. The flooding and storms we’ve seen all “summer” has been exceptional as well. I haven’t seen much moderation in the weather pattern here. It seems to flip from one extreme to the next.
July 16 at 12:12pm
The flooding is exceptional and so is the dew point, but the heat is not. I have lived here a long time and my mother swears the day I was born in May (eons ago) it was over 100 degrees. I remember many summers with strings of days in the mid-upper 90s. When my husband moved here from CA he was dumbfounded at the summer heat in MN.
The heat itself is not going to exceed 100 degrees in most of the state, but the heat index is. It’s like the reverse of wind chill. The worst part as always is the humidity which is going to be higher than I’ve ever seen it.
July 16 at 10:55pm
I understand weather quite well. This is about climate, not the weather. The fact that it has been 100 before is not the issue. Of course it’s been hot before. It’s the frequency of weather like what we are experiencing (heat, flooding, dew points, storms) that is the point. If it gets to 95, no big deal and I agree. If it gets to 95 10 more days than normal, that’s climate change.
BTW, it was 112F on May 31, 1934 in Maple Plain, MN. WOW!

No worries. Just make an amendment to the Constitution. Seeing as God has ordaned the US exceptional, and let’s face it, Texas is the crown jewel of the US (ask Perry) then any amendment commanding us to remain ignorant and rely on God is really just an extension of God’s word.

Praying for relief instead of taking action on GHGs reminds me of the lady who drowned during Katrina. The police drove around telling everyone to get out but she said “Faith will save me!” Then the fire dept motor boated around to take out the foolish, and she said, “The Lord will save me!” Then, standing on her roof with the water around her neck, she waved off a coast guard chopper and closed her eyes in prayer. After drowning, she appeared at the pearly gates where she asked St Peter why the Lord didn’t save her. He replied, “Lady, God sent you the police, the fire dept, and the coast guard, what more do you want?”
Prayer is a very popular way to have the feeling of doing something while not actually doing anything…

The apostle Paul said;”Faith without works is dead.” No Christian I respect would ever think of prayer as a substitute for personal action, although I’m sure they exist.

Texas is a red-hot drought-stricken state. Climate deniers just can’t deny it.
God’s wrath
Does anyone remember the Superman comic books of the ’50s & ’60s? There was a realm called “Bizarro World”, where cars had square tires; everything logical was reversed, insanity ruled. Now it seems the United States has become Bizarro World.
It’s ironic that this summer is one of if not THE hottest on record, while not too many months ago we had record lows and snowfall. Why do we forget what happened just a few months ago? Why hasn’t anyone asked if it were possible to get record highs during the summer and record lows in the winter? Perhaps if these questions were answered, we could answer other questions too and then do something about it.
Dare I suggest that a state that has spawned the likes of the Bush family is in a Hell of their own making?
“The month of June was the hottest recorded for Texas since 1895″. My question is, what made it so hot in 1895, long before burning fossil fuels would have any effect?
What’s most frightening to me is that too many people are not paying attention. They’re too busy watching garbage TV — reality shows, Dancing w/Stars, etc. – all the mind-numbing escapism. With all the extreme weather we’ve had the last number of years, you would think people might at least start asking what is going on. Mother Nature is apparently not happy with us is the answer — and the scientists have the facts to back that up — but too many people are too busy in escape and denial land to heed her warnings.
“But science is hard! And scary! And most of it is theory! Heck, even that evolution the liberals want to force on our kids is a theory. It isn’t fact.” Garbage like this is why The Bachelor(ette) trumps reading/learning/political debates, etc. Our nation is demonizing math and science. The people are easier to hoodwink that way.

Perry knows his base well.
Somehow, some way, this is Obama’s fault. Can’t be that God turned his back on Ricky, can it? After all, Rick is such a generous tither to his church. Less than 2%. Nice, Ricky. Maybe God’s pissed that you’re ripping HIM off too?
Keep em guessing at all times, but come down squarely on fairness and continue to point outthe inequties in the law and advocate for change of idiotic laws.
HEY! what happened to MAINE; I’d be curious because I live there…
Methinks god heard the prayer and looked down towards Texas. Horrified, he decided to turn the heat up. Methinks I can hear his message: you made the bed. Now lie down in it. Or was it “the seeds, you choose which to plant. The harvest, however, is compulsory” Or something like this.
Gee, with all those virtuous and religious people in Texas, some of us wonder why the drought has not ended. Oh! Come to think of it, it must be the fault of those sinners in New York or California who have “grievously sinned” and therefore “God” is punishing Texas. Perhaps the State of Texas can employ the Wesboro Baptist Church of Kansas as their press agent in order to sell that argument to the gullible (of which we have far too many).
But Texas continues to use billions of gallons of pure water in fracking operations. Because of engineering they can’t use brackish water.
The Texas Water Development Board estimates the total amount of water used for fracking statewide in 2010 was 13.5 billion gallons. That’s likely to more than double by 2020, and decline gradually each decade after that until dropping back down to current levels between 2050 and 2060.
http://www.independentmail.com/news/2011/jun/30/fracking-gives-texas-another-oil-boom-huge-water-c/
How can they allow this continue in such a terrible drought? Also from the article:
It can take millions of gallons of fluid to hydraulically fracture, or “frack,” a single well. Only about 20 percent to 25 percent on average of the water is recovered, while the rest disappears underground, never to be seen again.
“Caution, it is vitally important not to make connections…”

I was just thinking about that earlier – all the far right mensa contenders saying “global warming’s a lie, just look at all this snow.”
Of course, I doubt there’ll be any major changes of opinion about it even now. With ignorance tied with ideology, they’ve got summer and winter covered. Throw in a good-sized chunk of religious mania, and they’ve got their excuse for the heat, too – “Well, obviously God’s pissed off at us over the gay stuff. To deal with the increasingly hot summers and increasingly cold winters, and the worsening hurricanes and tornadoes, obviously climate science isn’t the answer, but stopping the evil gays and the commie-nazi-anarcho-fascio-libs is.”

I don’t think the governor gets it. Sometimes God will only help those who help themselves. you have to buy a lottery ticket before you pray to god to win a lottery.
Lack of trees. Lack of trees making rain which is source of water as snow. Save all seeds, sprout houses in warehouses, start replanting trees, save ALL that are left.

I don’t know what you’re all fretting over, its 100% certain that his prayers will work. When it finally does rain, whether that’s next week, next month or next year, his retort will be “See it worked.”.
Clearly, Rick Perry’s prayers have been answered. He just won’t admit it.
Wow, you guys ARE nutty aren’t you? I’ve never seen such a perfect example of liberals using junk science and outright lies to further their far left agenda.
that fact that u live in tx, squashes your street cred. get thee to the blaze

No, it gives me street cred. The fact that you spend your days looking at a far left hate site that relies, not only on junk science, but also intentionally misinterprets the results of that science; and that intentionally misrepresents and outright lies about Rick Perry’s record, destroys any credibility you have. You are a loon.

wouldn’t it be great if perry called meeting of all rethug govs, and limbaugh golfing, jogging etc on the hottest day, without water, to test their faith.
I have been praying for a do over since bush stole the election, so far it ain’t working. guess I’m not tithing enough.
