Why is it so hot???

I have been working outside for the last few minutes and broke a sweat . . . It is kind of hot out there right now! Sure, the breeze is blowing and the weatherman says it will dip into the 30s tonight, but you would never know it right now!

Some say our crazy weather is due to the greenhouse effect, or the disappearing ozone layer. Sometimes I wonder . . . What will this world be like in 50 years?? 50 years AGO, most homes in Florence did NOT have air conditioning. And people SURVIVED!! Certainly they were tougher than we, but it makes you think . . . How many of us would even CONSIDER building a house without it?

But then you could say, 50 years ago NO ONE had a laptop computer to sit and type mindlessly into a blog. Electicity was not used for near as much as it is today. Every family did not have multiple cars to dump exhaust into the atmosphere. Spray cans were not dumping pcps with every squirt. This world was a different place.

I wonder how hot it will be 50 years from now when my grandson is thinking about all of this??
