Even setting aside the global warming, I am very worried, how the hell
I and my people are supposed to work this summer.

WASHINGTON €” Its been so warm in the United States this year,
especially in March, that national records werent just broken, they
were deep-fried.
Temperatures in the lower 48 states were 8.6 degrees above normal for
March and 6 degrees higher than average for the first three months of
the year, according to calculations by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration. That far exceeds the old records.
( David Goldman / Associated Press ) - FILE - In this March 25, 2012,
file photo a couple enjoy a sunny afternoon against the backdrop of
the Midtown skyline from Piedmont Park in Atlanta. The lower 48 states
were 8.6 degrees above normal for March and 6 degrees higher than
average for the first three months of the year, according to
calculations by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
with both March and the first three months of the year far exceeding
the countrys old records.
The magnitude of how unusual the year has been in the U.S. has alarmed
some meteorologists who have warned about global warming. One climate
scientist said its the weather equivalent of a baseball player on
steroids, with old records obliterated.
€śEverybody has this uneasy feeling. This is weird. This is not
good,€ť said Jerry Meehl, a climate scientist who specializes in
extreme weather at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in
Boulder, Colo. €śIts a guilty pleasure. Youre out enjoying this
nice March weather, but you know its not a good thing.€ť
