We burn up, and so does everything else. The grass browns, the trees wither a little, and there's usually a 3 week dry spell every summer. Here the summer lasts for about 5 months, from May to September with temps at least the low 90s everyday (except when it rains). Most of the time North Texas is the hottest part of the state, passing even the desert of west Texas. In the winter its cold and dry, with lows that are often in the 20s. Which makes it the second coldest part of the state next to the panhandle. The grass browns again, with dormant trees everywhere. Our yearly average is 77, but the temp hardly stays there for long. Its usually real hot or real cold. As for global warming, this really isn't the place to look, because the climate is not temperate enough.

Zap probably also owns a giant gas guzzling SUV, drives a hyper-polluting log-hauling 18 wheeler, and voted for George W. Bush the last two elections. What do you expect?

I can't imagine scientists all over the world lying or exaggerating over global warming. Guess only time will tell! Jeff Zap -
