Oklahoma adds heat record to it's divorce capital of the nation claim

The numbers on the county indicate the June 2011 month long average above normal temperature.  The red is +12°F.  Oklahoma had 30 consecutive days over 90, a record, 11 days over 100, a record, 34 consecutive days above normal.  Exceptional drought more severe than the dust bowl days, fires throughout the state, crop and livestock losses will not be known for many months.

Senator Inhoff the denier in chief did not show at a Washington Science deniers convention bought and paid for by Koch Industry and Exxon.  Inhoff was to be the key note speaker.  The list of speakers, of the thousands of scientist who the global warming deniers claim as on their side, well only a couple of PhD's showed up, most speakers are TV weathermen, economist and bloggers, their experts are bloggers!  Inhoff says he's "under the weather", thats a good one, maybe he is out looking at the red sand where hay meadows once bloomed, Oooooooooh-kla-hoooomma!

    Boy, how do you get an average jump of 12°? It means you had some hellish days of heat to pull the average that far. Keep burning that fossil fuel boys, and stop relating the string of weather events this year alone that cost the US 4% of it's GDP. 4%. Where could we be if we had that 4% on the books right now, things wouldn't look so glum.

    Fringe,
    Never even saw the musical of that name, though I believe three friends and I crossed a small piece of the state during a cross country trip in 1971. Plus I used to root for Nebraska during their annual football clashes with the Sooners. Oh yes. And two of my cousins inexplicably received college degrees from U of Oklahoma despite their being born and raised in New York State.

    Thanks for dropping in Sarge, Ice and Mr. O.
    Mr.O, The Sooners will not play Nebraska again for who knows how long, Nebraska bolted the big 12 as did Colorado. The big 12 is now 10 but keeps the big 12 name. I suppose Arkansas may be in their sights. The problem with the big 12 is the TV demographics. Outside of north Texas their are not a lot of TV's in big 12 land, not like the big 10, or Pac 10, Pac 10 wanted the Colorado and Wyoming TV market and Nebraska thought they could do better in big 10, since the last few years Texas and OK schools were hammering them in football. Problem is for Nebraska fan base, they don't travel well, and much of the big 10 is outside of their driving comfort zone, more than the big 12 was.
