368:. There are no citations or statistics given in this wikipedia article, nor the NASA article, supporting this assertion. I'm not denying this statement to be true, I'm saying we can't just repeat what other people say and claim it as fact. Prove it. All we can rightfully say from the information here is that some guy at NASA said this, hence in my opinion it is only justified as a quote, and should be marked as such or have more citations to back it up. The second citation given refers to the march heat wave, and is relevant to global warming, but not really this article. Also, the second reference article does not say anything that justifies this "high level of agreement" statement.

Unless one can identify the scientists or the organization for which they work and find their expertise relevant (the opinion of physiologists or paleontologists on global warming would be no better than that of non-scientific laymen on the issue) and find them credible for their reputations and affiliations.

I did completely read both citations (but not the new one yet.) I was only asking, although I did state my opinion but not as if I knew what was appropriate by community standards. I see the quote has been reworded, and I was not really sure if quotation marks were necessary or not. My other concern
371:
In my opinion, this statement does not belong in this article at all, because this article refers to a specific event, which was not directly caused by global warming. This statement would be appropriate in the "global warming article," and the general "heat wave" article. However, I will not remove

BTW the
Bermuda High is a steering mechanism for offshore storms. There cannot be "a" Bermuda High because there is only one thing which is called the Bermuda High. The Bermuda High moves slightly and can help channel hurricanes into, or away from, the Northeast or Mid-Atlantic staes, but otherwise

I don't like the idea of two articles either, but not only is there a break in the heat, but there is some talk of a
Bermuda High, which is a different mechanism, a different cause of the miserable weather. The is also a difference in the heat. High pressure over the continent gives dry weather,

Global warming is not a theory. It is a fact. The world is in fact much hotter than it was 50, 30, or even 10 years ago. Sea levels are higher and ocean salinity is lower. Ice cap coverage is less to an extreme degree. Severe storm incidence is higher. These are not theories up for debate or

If We pay Al Gore more money then it will all go. Lets destroy cities and move people in the countryside lets all in huts zero carbon footprint. I think that will stop the heat wave. Lets not have homes, eat meat or own cars that's bad for the planet.

647:(put your cursor on the history section and scroll - it zooms to cover more dates - drag right or left to forward or back in time.) It was right through those dates that I don't think anywhere in the U. S. had a heat wave.
546:
We seem to have had a brief interval without locations in N. A. experiencing a heat wave. So we could have had one heat wave end and another begun. Or not as there is no universal definition of the term heat wave.
