100 days over 100 degrees

(CBS/AP)  

DALLAS - Wichita Falls has become the first Texas city to have 100 days of triple-digit temperatures in one year, the same day the Dallas-Fort Worth area joined the state's long list of cities with a record number of 100-degree days in 2011.

Not far from Oklahoma state line in North Texas and home to the Hotter 'N Hell Hundred bike race every summer, Wichita Falls had already broken its one-year record for 100-degree days weeks ago by Tuesday. The previous mark of 79 came in 1980, which was the benchmark for Texas heat waves before this year.

"When you consider the previous record was 79 and that was considered the monster of all summers, to exceed that by ... (25 percent) is pretty astounding," Victor Murphy of the National Weather Service said.

Meteorologist Garry Seith of CBS News affiliate KTVT-TV in Dallas reported on CBS' "The Early Show" Wednesday that the state's average temperature of 86.8 degrees makes Texas' summer the hottest any state has ever recorded.

Natural Gas, Replacing Oil to Reduce Emissions...oops

As many know already, and has been shared here periodically, the energy available from any current alternative to petroleum and coal 

without adding to climate change or pollution that lasts for millions of years, or being expensive beyond return, or killing lots of birds, is difficult.  

Until our population goes to zero.  

Then efficiency will be left to nature.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/09/110908124505.htm

Wigley's computer simulations indicate that a worldwide, partial shift from coal to natural gas would slightly accelerate climate change through at least 2050, even if no methane leaked from natural gas operations, and through as late as 2140 if there were substantial leaks. After that, the greater reliance on natural gas would begin to slow down the increase in global average temperature, but only by a few tenths of a degree.

"no leaks" or "substantial leaks"  - San Bruno   Anyone? (Two urls, the explosion and the response).
