AFP: Southeast Asia gains climate [hoax] clout after typhoon

But after Typhoon Ketsana killed more than 300 people in the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos this week, Southeast Asian nations suddenly found themselves with a podium from which to call on richer nations to do more.

Climate change could make the lakes area feel like Kansas if left unchecked, said a representative of a St. Paul Based clean energy think tank Monday evening during a presentation at M State in Detroit Lakes.

J. Drake Hamilton, a Science Policy Director for Fresh Energy, said that climate change would make hot summers a year-to-year occurrence instead of a rarity by 2050, with the Twin Cities seeing over 70 days with highs above 90 degrees and 30 days with highs above 100 degrees.

“That would be a normal summer by the middle of this century if we don’t take action,” Hamilton said.

We've had one day in the 2000s of 100+. Just two in the 90s (1995, 1990). And a lot more in the 80s (four in 1988, one each in 1985, 1982, 1980). Only three in the 70s (1977, 1976, 1974). ZERO in the 60s, three in the 50s, a bunch in the 40s, and a whole ton in the 30s.

In fact, the 30s contain the only 100+ temps outside of June/July/August. 5/31/1934 got to 106. 9/10/1931 got to 104.

There were no 100+ days between 1956 and 1974. That is the longest 'drought' of extreme heat.
