NASA study suggests extreme summer warming in the future

The research found that eastern U.S. summer daily high temperatures that currently average in the low-to-mid-80s (degrees Fahrenheit) will most likely soar into the low-to-mid-90s during typical summers by the 2080s. In extreme seasons -- when precipitation falls infrequently -- July and August daily high temperatures could average between 100 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit in cities such as Chicago, Washington, and Atlanta.

And if instead temperatures only climb into the low-to-mid-70s, what will you say then? NOTHING!!! You'll be dead! So I suppose you're safe predicting almost anything you want.

Hey, you're right -- *do nothing*! It certainly works for a lot of people.
