Science confirms casual observation: summer was hot and dry

Washington-AP -- Just in case brown lawns and withered fields didn't clue you in -- a new report says the summer of 2002 was hotter and drier than usual.

According to the National Climatic Data Center, June through August was the warmest summer since the 1930s -- and drought affected about half the country.

Average temperatures in the continental U-S were 73-point-nine degrees -- the third hottest on record and one-point-eight degrees above normal.

The center reports that no state was significantly colder than normal and many were much warmer. There was also below average rainfall in 29 states.

The report comes one day after the National Weather Service forecasted continuing dry conditions for much of the country through winter.

Just when you think your out of the woods,a tree falls on you!

220 Million people tapping into the fresh water supply, both underground and above using it for their homes, drinking, sewer right. Most of it goes to the treatment plants and the water from there get's dumped into the rivers and streams which eventually go to the ocean. The ocean level slowly rises melting the polar ice caps, less fresh water on land to evaporate and form clouds and rain to cool the land and atmosphere. High temperatures on one spot of the world with severe cold temperatures hit each other forming natural disaster from the environmental trauma. Not a scientist but it all looks black and white to me.

We're Screwed

Only recourses to avoid catastrophe, severe irrigation rerouting rivers to dump the water on land to re-create natural water evaporation process and to recharge underground aquifiers.
