More than 1,000 Russians have drowned recently as they attempted to find relief from a stifling heat wave -- many of them after drinking alcohol, officials said.
Vadim Seryogin, a department head at Russia's Emergencies Ministry, told reporters Wednesday that 49 people, including two children, had drowned in the last day. More than 1,200 total have drowned, 223 of them between July 5 and July 12.

Good thing climate change is only a liberal myth. :lulz:
Geesh, don't let the NeoCons hear about that. They'll start throwing more pollution in the air to speed up global warming.
You guys crack me up. :lulz:
Asphalt softened in the heat has been blamed for traffic accidents. A state of emergency has been declared in 14 regions, and some areas are facing water shortages as wells dry up.
The heat has exacerbated a smog problem, as well, the RIA-Novosti column said, adding Russia has not experienced such heat in 130 years. Winter and spring crops are withering under the heat, the column said.
...and here we have the WEIRDEST weather in San Diego--cold and chilly--foggy--all day. Likely to STAY that way until, well, for the forseeable future.
I don't think we've broken the 80'F mark in over a week at the coast...possibly not even then.
Bodes ill for the fall, when we normally have our "summer" weather, but July is usually much hotter than this.
I should add that this happens typically in So Cal (and up and down the coast, actually), so the hotter it is inland, the foggier it is here.
Bunch of liberal flunkies in this thread. Show me the evidence for "global warming", not a bunch of allegory. And the Russians don't count! Damn commies.

I have no doubt these are the last days. So many things, inlcuding recently deciphered biblical info, that the world is in it's final 6 years or so, if that hide.gif

It's not so much the tilting you have to worry about. Apparently the earth is rotating on its axis... that is what is causing all the trouble!

you need a /sarcasm tag or something on that
Ah, guys, hate to burst your bubble, but Global Warming is man made.
You think it is a coincidence that nothing bad happened until until the LHC was turned on.
There creating mini-suns which are heating up the atmosphere before collapsing into black holes!
Oh fuck! My bubble! Rumckle, you cunt!
Oh wait...

I really hate to be the pendant here, but individual heat waves are no more evidence for global warming than individual cold snaps are evidence against it. Climate change is about sustained changes in typical temperature / weather patterns over a long period of time, not single-season temperature changes.

Right; of which this is merely one of the many, many trending examples available globally over the past several years.
It's not that we're
stupid; it's just that we might seem that way if you take a post or two outside of the entire rest of the real world and assume we don't know anything about it.

Well, if I were more of a pendant I would point out the slight error in your post.
But I'm not that type.
Global warming is true. But it isn't the end of the world, unfortunately.
"Armageddon" is what greys imagine must be on its way when they begin to realize that reality is weird.
