I was reading the carbon report in the previous article. I was in Hawaii in Kauai and on Maui and when I left people were talking about how they had never seen October be this hot in Hawaii ever. The weather would have been appropriate for July or August but never October. They said this year June and July were cold and they didn't get their summer until late August, September and October this year when I was there with my wife and friends.
As I drove back to Kahului Airport to fly home to San Francisco it was 92 degrees Fahrenheit and raining while waves crashed over the barriers onto the main road just south of Lahaina. I thought to myself that this shouldn't be happening on the leeward side of the island at all and wondered when they were going to lift the road bed so waves and higher seas wouldn't crash onto the road there anymore.
Carbon emissions are changing the climate the fastest at the North and South Poles but now it is changing Hawaii too. Eventually people from the U.S. mostly won't want to be there (without air conditioning at least) any months but December through February because you won't want to be walking around unless you have air conditioning in your room or car. Even locals were hanging out in the Long's Drugstore Complex in Lahaina because they didn't have air conditioning at home on weekends in October.
So, it isn't just the north and South Pole anymore being ravaged by Global Warming it's also places like Hawaii and Florida, and Texas and Puerto Rico and other places around the world.
Last winter and the winter before the North Pole completely melted out during weather in the 50s Fahrenheit which was unheard of ever before in Winter there.
