- aaomidi 6y agoMILD SUMMER? We've been breaking records... And we don't have AC either really
- seizethecheese 6y agoWhat records? We’ve only had a few hot days all summer.

- gvjddbnvdrbv 6y agoSo your weather has been unusual as well? Would you say that this might be reminiscent of a changing climate? The anecdotal accounts of weird climate changes in many locations are really stacking up at this point. Together with the scientific data it is looking like all the changing climate is due to climate change.
- dmoy 6y agoSeattle usually has a mild summer. And a mild winter. It's overall just a mild climate all the time. Today is hot. There was a hot day in July. Rest of the summer so far has been pretty mild.
- verst 6y agoYou mean other than today at 97F / 36C. Brutal.
- sci_prog 6y agoNo, climate change works in both directions. It causes extremes in both directions. Source: I have a PhD in Oceanography with focus on climate modeling
- mehrdadn 6y agoI seem remember hearing this over a decade and a half ago too. I've been confused and frustrated how the message ever got lost.
- seizethecheese 6y agoSo, you agree that anecdotes are worthless? I don’t understand your comment.
- sharkmerry 6y agoI think OP meant those anecdotes are both examples of climate change. Causing extreme wildness and extreme craziness elsewhere
- hackeraccount 6y agoclimate change just causes bad weather. So when the weather is bad you can just say - "That's climate change for you." Some people complain about this, me, I think about the poor bastards in the past who had no response at all and I think, "eh, it's an ill wind indeed that blows no good."
- TomVDB 6y agoPast Wednesday, while Skyping with my parents in Europe, I told them that this year's Bay Area summer had been unusually mild so far. 2 days later and we had the start of a record breaking heat wave.
